Description
Ultrasonic Pest Repeller with Motion Detection System
The solar ultrasonic pest repeller Garden Guard 376 is an effective solution for keeping animals out of your garden or outdoor spaces. This device uses ultrasonic sound waves to repel animals like rabbits, deer, foxes, rodents, and some types of birds. While humans can barely hear the ultrasonic sounds of the repeller, the animals find them highly unpleasant.
Equipped with a motion detector, the ultrasonic pest repeller activates only when it detects movement. The motion sensor has a range of up to 10 metres. When the sensor picks up movement, the device emits ultrasonic sound waves to deter animals. This not only conserves energy but also ensures that the repeller only activates when necessary.
Solar-Powered Convenience
One of the standout features of the ultrasonic pest repeller is its built-in solar panel. The solar panel continuously charges the internal rechargeable batteries during daylight hours, ensuring the device remains operational without the need for constant battery replacement. This makes it a cost-effective solution for long-term pest control.
However, if your device is placed in a shaded area and the batteries run out, there are several easy recharging options available. You can place the device in direct sunlight with the power turned off to recharge the batteries. Alternatively, you can use the supplied USB cable to charge it via a USB charger or replace the batteries with new rechargeable AA batteries.
Easy Operation and Customisation
Operating the ultrasonic pest repeller is simple. The device features two adjustable knobs: one for sensitivity and the other for frequency. These controls allow you to tailor the device’s ultrasonic and light deterrents depending on the type and size of animals you want to repel.
The sensitivity knob controls the detection range of the device’s motion sensor. The motion detection range is directly related to the size of the animal being detected—the larger the animal, the further it can be detected. For larger animals like deer, you can set the knob to a lower sensitivity. If you want to repel small animals like squirrels, rabbits, set the knob to its maximum sensitivity.
The frequency knob controls the ultrasonic sound waves emitted by the device and also has seven adjustable settings. These frequencies are specifically designed to repel different sizes of animals:
- OFF: No ultrasonic waves are emitted, and the LED light is turned off.
- L (15 kHz – 24 kHz): Best for repelling larger animals like dogs, deer, or foxes.
- M (25 kHz – 50 kHz): Suitable for medium-sized animals such as raccoons or cats.
- H (30 kHz – 60 kHz): Ideal for deterring smaller animals like squirrels and rodents.
In addition to ultrasonic waves, the device also has flashing LED lights. You can activate the light feature with these settings:
- L+: Ultrasonic sound at 15 kHz – 24 kHz plus LED flashing, ideal for larger animals.
- M+: Ultrasonic sound at 25 kHz – 50 kHz plus LED flashing, for medium-sized animals.
- H+: Ultrasonic sound at 30 kHz – 60 kHz plus LED flashing, for small-sized animals.
This combination of sound and light adds an extra layer of deterrence, making the device more effective in keeping stubborn animals out of your garden or yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Solar Ultrasonic Pest Repeller work?
The repeller uses ultrasonic sound waves, triggered by a built-in motion detector, to scare away unwanted animals. It emits high-frequency sound waves that are unpleasant to animals but generally inaudible to humans, effectively repelling pests without harm.
What types of animals does the repeller deter? The device is effective against a wide range of animals, including rodents, squirrels, rabbits, and larger animals like deer and foxes. You can adjust the frequency and sensitivity settings to target specific types of animals.
How far can the motion sensor detect animals? The motion sensor can detect animals up to a distance of 10 metres (about 33 feet), depending on the size of the animal. Larger animals will be detected from further away, while smaller animals may need to be closer for the sensor to activate.
Do ultrasonic deterrents work on birds?
Ultrasonic deterrents 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.
