This solar-powered deterrent features a multi-mode toggle, allowing you to adjust the frequency to target specific pests such as deer or smaller rodents. The housing is made from structurally rigid ABS plastic and is designed with an IP44 splash-proof rating. To support the internal Ni-MH batteries during winter months or shadier seasons, the unit includes a USB charging port for manual top-offs.
Specifications show an ultrasonic range of 13.5kHz to 45.5kHz. The device also incorporates an LED flash, which serves as a secondary visual deterrent for animals that may have reduced hearing sensitivity. When installing the unit, using a small hand tool to loosen rocky or clay-heavy soil will help prevent damage to the aluminum mounting stakes.
- Multi-mode toggle: Allows for species-specific targeting based on the frequency setting.
- Dual power redundancy: USB charging backup for low-light environments.
- LED flash integration: Enhances effectiveness during the night for nocturnal pests.
For best results, place the unit where it can receive about six hours of direct sunlight. While the ABS shell is impact-resistant, placing it in a location with some natural shade from the intense midday sun can help the polymer maintain its appearance. To keep the moisture seal in good condition, ensure the rubber USB grommet is fully seated after any manual charging.
If you prefer a model with a specialized "flame eye" visual alarm, the Otseze upgraded repeller might be a suitable alternative.
