Description
Why Choose the Ultrasonic Repeller Birdaway?
The ultrasonic repeller Birdaway is an effective solution to animal and bird control. With its advanced ultrasonic technology, built-in motion sensor, weatherproof design, and flexible installation options, this device is perfect for protecting gardens, yards, and pond areas.
How It Works
The Birdaway ultrasonic repeller has a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that monitors a three-dimensional fan-shaped area of 70 degrees. With a detection range of up to 12 metres, the device protects an area of 85 square metres. When animals or birds enter the monitored zone, the PIR sensor is triggered, activating both the ultrasonic sound and powerful LED light strobes. This action startles and repels both animals and pest birds.
The frequency range of the repeller fluctuates between 17,000 Hz and 24,000 Hz. These frequencies are effective for repelling certain animals, but their effectiveness on birds varies based on species.
Birds have a different range of hearing compared to mammals. Some pest birds may be able to detect frequencies at the lower end of the ultrasonic range, around 17,000 Hz, but the majority of birds are less sensitive to these sounds compared to mammals. Therefore, ultrasonic sound alone may not reliably startle or repel birds, especially in outdoor settings where other factors like wind can further reduce its effectiveness.
Ultrasonic devices tend to be more effective for repelling certain mammals, such as:
- Deer
- Rabbits/Hares
- Rodents
- Bats
These animals have a broader range of hearing that extends into the ultrasonic spectrum. Additionally, the bright light strobes provide a visual scare that reinforces the ultrasonic sound.
Key Features of Ultrasonic Repeller
- Effective and safe: The Birdaway repeller is a safe and humane way to deter birds without causing harm. It relies on ultrasonic sound and flashing lights to keep animals and birds away.
- Built-in test button: A convenient test button allows you to easily check that the device is functioning correctly. With just a press, you can verify that the ultrasonic sound and strobe light are working as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ultrasonic repeller work?
This ultrasonic repeller emits high-frequency sound waves between 17,000 Hz and 24,000 Hz. These frequencies are generally inaudible to humans but can be uncomfortable or disorienting for certain pests. Additionally, the bright light strobes provide a visual scare that reinforces the ultrasonic sound.
What types of animals can ultrasonic repellers deter?
Ultrasonic repellers can deter a variety of pests, including:
-
- Rodents (mice, rats)
- Bats
- Deer
- Rabbits
- Hares
- Raccoons
- Squirrels
Do ultrasonic repellers work on birds?
Ultrasonic repellers may have limited effectiveness on birds, as most birds cannot hear ultrasonic frequencies as well as mammals. Some birds may detect lower ultrasonic frequencies, but for comprehensive bird control, it is more effective to combine ultrasonic sound with other deterrents, such as audio deterrents or visual deterrents.
Do ultrasonic repellers work through barriers?
No, ultrasonic sound waves do not penetrate solid objects. The sound is most effective in open, unobstructed areas. If you need to protect separated spaces, you may need multiple devices.
