This deterrent features a combination of an LED strobe and a 13.5kHz to 45.5kHz ultrasonic sweep. It is designed for easy deployment with an aluminum stake that provides structural support in soft to medium soil. The power is supplied by a polysilicon solar panel and internal Ni-MH AA rechargeable batteries, which are sufficient for maintaining a charge in clear-sky conditions.
Specifications show that the ABS polymer housing is built for impact resistance. The motion sensor offers a 110-degree arc, though for the most consistent detection, it is best to aim the unit at a 90-degree angle toward the expected path of travel. For parents, placing the unit in higher-frequency modes can help ensure the device remains quiet for household members while staying active for pests.
- Dual-action deterrence: Combines light and sound to increase the chances of startling animals.
- Aluminum stake: Provides a stable base for the unit in most lawn types.
- Solar efficiency: Designed to maintain its own power levels when placed in sunny areas.
- PIR detection: Motion-activated sensor helps conserve battery life by only triggering when needed.
To help the internal PCB stay in top shape, we recommend placing the unit away from low-lying areas where water might pool after a heavy rain. Since ultrasonic signals can be blocked by dense foliage, organizing your garden so the device has a clear line of sight to the entry points will provide the best coverage.
If you need a system with multiple units to cover a larger perimeter, the Sailhome 2-pack is a great organizational option.
