The 2025 upgraded version of this deterrent focuses on ease of deployment with its tool-free assembly and sectional mounting stake. It features a 5-mode toggle that allows users to select specific frequency ranges for different types of animals. The unit is designed with an ABS injection-molded shell and a solar panel that has been expanded to provide better output in variable light conditions.
Specifications indicate that the PIR motion sensor covers an approximately 110-degree arc. For locations that experience long periods of overcast weather, the built-in USB port provides a necessary fallback for manual charging. The device uses 800mAh Ni-MH batteries which are common and easy to maintain over multiple seasons.
- USB and Solar charging: Provides flexibility for placement in shaded areas.
- Variable frequency: A 5-mode switch allows for species-specific targeting.
- Sectional stake: Enables quick perimiter setup without additional tools.
While the housing is designed for outdoor splashes, it is helpful to place the unit where it is not exposed to high-pressure irrigation or standing water. To maximize the range of the motion sensor, try to keep the area immediately in front of the lens clear of thick vegetation. For those with sensitive hearing, using the higher frequency modes (3, 4, or 5) can help keep the device quiet for people while remaining active for animals.
If you are looking for a unit with a specific focus on "flame" lighting for a more aesthetic look in the garden, the X-Octenol Flame Light version is a great alternative.
