Rodent Repeller - Effective Pest Control

Mice and rats are pests that are very difficult to get out of the house, especially for large gray rodents. It is for such cases that a device has been developed — an ultrasonic rodent repeller, which acts on pests with ultrasound and sound pressure, which is why rodents leave the territory in a panic.

There are many models of repellers, but they act in a similar way, and to find out their technical parameters, methods of use and individual nuances, read our article.

How does it work

The mouse repeller works simply: it makes sounds that people don’t hear, and small rodents perceive perfectly, but the frequency of the signal does not allow them to adapt to it. The radiation frequency is in the range of 10-70 kHz, so the ultrasonic repeller gives gray pests a lot of inconvenience, affecting their psyche, and the floating frequency of the signal does not allow you to get used to the rhythm.

The rat and mouse repeller sometimes transmits sounds resembling a cat meow or a squeak of a dominant male, so the animals leave the inhabited territory, because a meeting with an aggressive male can end in death for weaker individuals, and cat breed has always been the worst natural enemy for them.

Given that solid materials do not transmit sound waves, one device is installed in a separate room, and the area on which the device can effectively affect pests varies from 240 to 1500 square meters. The product is powered from a 220 V network, from a battery or on batteries with a total voltage of 12 V. When connected to an electric network, the operating time is unlimited.

Kinds

There are several types of modern rodent repellent devices.

Ultrasonic

An electric repeller is an aggregate that acts on the nervous system of pests using high frequency pulses. When it works, an uncomfortable environment is created that interferes with rodents, so they try to leave the dangerous territory faster. So that they do not adapt to the frequency, it constantly changes within certain limits, which are prescribed in the technical passport of the product.

In the very first hours of processing, the electronic repeller disorientates mice and rats with their signals - they lose their ability to contact with relatives, leave their retired nests and in a panic look for a way out of the room. Similar products are used only to scare away rodents, and not to destroy them.

Electromagnetic repeller

Its principle of operation is based on the generation of special impulses transmitted through the electrical wiring of a single meter, for example, when connecting such a product in your apartment, an electrical impulse instantly passes through all the wires and affects rodents. In the first hours of such treatment, pests begin to rush about around the room, because there is an active attack on their psyche.

Waves of impulses propagate everywhere: between concrete floors, inside walls, so the mice leave their nests and look for a way out of the danger zone for their health.

Combined

The repellers discussed above that help to effectively get rid of rats and mice have their pros and cons, so the manufacturers have developed combined devices that can be used in any room, becausethey combine two effects: an electric field with an oscillation frequency of 14–26 mA and high-frequency ultrasound.

The advantages of this use:

• pests are not destroyed, but only forcibly evicted from the house;
• such devices can be used to prevent the occurrence of rodents;
• products are not dangerous for pets;
• If you install the device in the basement of a private house, then all the pests will leave it, and new aliens will immediately feel the uncomfortable environment for life and rush to retire.

As mentioned earlier, the use of modern products for repelling pests is not dangerous for humans and pets, because such a device acts only on the family of rodents. The only exceptions are guinea pigs, white decorative rats and hamsters - they must be removed to another room.

How to choose

On the shelves of specialized stores there are products of manufacturers from Europe, Russia and Asia, so it is difficult to choose a device for your needs. Each unit has a specific exposure area, while remembering that the walls do not transmit radiation waves, so buy an industrial unit for 1500 square meters. m. for use in the basement of the house - unprofitable.

Experts and users who have already really tested the operation of the device, advise:

1. When rodents are wound up in a cellar or garage and do not spread beyond this place, it is enough to choose an ultrasonic device with an effective exposure area of ​​not more than 50 square meters. m. If rodents have chosen the basement of a private house, then you need to choose a product with a large impact area - 200-400 square meters. m
2. All devices must work continuously for several days to create an effective impact, so you need to choose stationary models that operate on the mains, and not portable devices on batteries.
3. At the cottage or when used in commercial buildings, the presence of a timer for automatic start-up, as well as remote adjustment of the radiation mode, is welcome.
4. There are restrictions on sound exposure and vibration - such products are used only in industrial premises where people are not present all the time.
5. Preference should be given to devices programmed for the frequency of changing the frequency of exposure in a certain time period and without repeating the mode.
6. Many models have one or more wave generators, and some have light exposure - periodic flashes of blue light that introduce rodents into an instant stupor.

Buying a multifunctional rodent repeller you several times increase the effectiveness of rodent control.
