Designed for rapid deployment, this tool-free assembly unit uses a dual-frequency sweep to manage animals like squirrels and dogs. The injection-molded ABS housing includes a high-intensity LED strobe, which serves as a verified deterrent for nocturnal visitors. The power system is based on 1.2V Ni-MH batteries that are charged by a built-in solar panel.
Specifications indicate a PIR sensor range of 25 to 30 feet. To help the batteries reach a full charge, it is recommended to place the unit in direct sunlight for 48 hours before the first use. Like most outdoor electronics, the device benefits from being positioned away from heavy irrigation spray and being wiped down periodically to keep the solar panel clear of debris.
- Dual-frequency sweep: Targeted frequencies designed for various animal sizes.
- Tool-less assembly: Simple ground-stake integration for quick setup.
- Integrated LED: High-intensity flash for nighttime animal management.
The ground stake is best suited for standard lawn soil. In very dry or frozen conditions, it is best to wait for the soil to soften or use a trowel to prepare the spot. To ensure the motion sensor remains effective, keep the area in front of the lens clear of swaying branches or tall weeds that might cause false triggers.
If you are looking for a multi-unit setup for a larger farm or chicken coop area, the 4-piece upgraded set is a great organizational alternative.
