Designed for urban lots and garden beds, this two-pack features an adjustable sensitivity dial that allows for precise calibration of the motion sensor. The units are built with a dual-strobe LED configuration intended to trigger a startle response in nocturnal predators. The chassis is constructed from 1.8mm ABS and uses a polysilicon solar panel combined with three AA Ni-MH batteries.
Specifications indicate a frequency range between 13.5kHz and 45.5kHz. While the ultrasonic signal is effective for rodents, it is most reliable when the path is not blocked by dense foliage or solid objects. For parents setting these up, pre-drilling a pilot hole in hard clay soil will help the stake remain stable and prevent stress on the plastic housing.
To maintain the effectiveness of the solar-to-battery charging, it is helpful to replace the included batteries with high-quality rechargeable cells every year or so.
- Dual-strobe LEDs: Focused on creating a visual deterrent for night visitors.
- Adjustable sensitivity: Helps limit triggers from non-target movement like wind-blown grass.
- Solar-powered: Designed to scavenge energy throughout the day for night operation.
The units are rated for splash resistance, making them suitable for typical yard placement. To help the internal components stay dry, it is best to avoid placing them in low-lying flood zones or directly under heavy roof runoff. Regularly checking the seam between the solar panel and the body will ensure the unit remains well-sealed.
For users looking for a single-unit solution with a wider detection arc, the Aqjbh 2025 Upgraded unit is another excellent option.
