The Acebinte 6-pack is constructed from injection-molded ABS plastic, offering a humane and non-toxic way to manage yard pests. These units are designed for low-impact installation, specifically in soft or moist soil where they can be deployed without heavy tools. The green ABS cap is designed to blend into the lawn while housing the solar panels and internal electronics.
Each unit features a polycrystalline solar cell with a marginal efficiency of approximately 15%. This means the stakes perform best when they have a clear, unobstructed view of the sun for at least 6 hours daily. The internal power source is a 1.2V 600mAh Ni-MH cell. It is helpful to note that because the sonic pulse is fixed at 400Hz to 1000Hz, animals may eventually become accustomed to the sound if the stakes are never moved.
Practical usability is highest in clay soil, which conducts vibrations more effectively than sand. While the units are built for outdoor use, the "IP44" style of sealing means they are best suited for areas that do not experience standing water or flooding. Periodically moving the stakes to different positions in the yard can help maintain the novelty of the vibration for local pests.
Summary: A six-unit set that provides a chemical-free irritant for garden pests, relying on solar power and proper soil contact for effectiveness.
For gardens that require a more robust 10-unit perimeter, the 10-pack ultrasonic deterrent provides additional coverage units.
