About product
The Tornado mole repeller, which is also effective in controlling other rodents, is a plastic device that most often works from a 220V power supply, due to the generated “pulses” it can create an uncomfortable environment for pests. Due to the negative impact on the nervous system of rodents, they will be forced to leave the zone of "effective" coverage of a functioning device.
To meet the requirements of the maximum number of potential users, the Tornado brand decided to create various types of equipment with a single goal - the "expulsion" of rodents. Among these species can be identified:
- Ultrasonic. This class of repellers involves the impact on the psyche of the pest with ultrasonic waves. The main advantage of the ultrasonic device is the low noise level generated during direct operation, as well as the “proper” level of fulfillment of its “direct” duty. Among the disadvantages, it is advisable to note its high cost and the inability to spread the ultrasonic signal through various kinds of barriers, in particular walls.
- Vibroseismic. The considered type of devices “attacks” a rodent - a pest by means of seismic vibrations propagating over long distances not only over the surface of the earth, but also under it. The created seismic waves simulate an attack on a mole or rat, forcing animals to instinctively leave the zone of "effective" coverage of working equipment. The main advantage of this type of device is its low cost, as well as ease of installation, configuration and direct use. Among the shortcomings of the considered household gadget, it is advisable to single out the fact of "addiction" of pests to the issued "sounds", as well as the unproven safety of its use for human health.
- Electromagnetic. This type of scaring devices generates special “impulses”, which are subsequently transmitted through functional electric wires in the radius of the “effective” coating. The main advantage of using the device in question can be called the ability of the frequencies created by the technique to penetrate obstacles. On the downside of using electromagnetic repellers, it is advisable to highlight the insufficient radius of the “effective” coating, which excludes a full-fledged quality pest control.
