FAQs

What types of pests does this repeller deter?

The repeller is designed to deter cats, foxes, rodents, and squirrels. It may also be effective against other small animals that are sensitive to high-frequency sounds.

Is the ultrasonic sound harmful to humans or pets?

No, the ultrasonic sound waves are designed to be inaudible to humans and are generally considered safe for most domestic pets like dogs and cats, though individual animal sensitivities can vary. It is specifically designed to be unpleasant for the target pests.

How often do I need to replace the batteries?

With average use, the four AA batteries typically last approximately three months. This can vary depending on the frequency of activation.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

Yes, rechargeable AA batteries can be used. Ensure they are fully charged for optimal performance and duration.

What is the effective range of one unit?

Each unit effectively covers an area of up to 23 square meters (approximately 250 square feet).

How should I position the repeller for best results?

For best results, position the repeller 15-20cm above the ground, pointing towards the area you want to protect and along common animal routes into your garden. Avoid direct paths or roads.

Is this product safe for birds?

Yes, the ultrasonic sound emitted by the repeller is safe for birds.

What does the IP55 rating mean?

An IP55 rating means the unit is protected against dust ingress and protected against low-pressure jets of water from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Device is not emitting sound or activating.

Ensure fresh AA batteries are correctly installed in the unit. Check that the PIR sensor is not obstructed and that motion is occurring within its detection range.

Pests are still present in the garden.

Adjust the positioning of the repeller to better target animal pathways. Ensure the unit is at the recommended height (15-20cm). Consider if the pest species is one that might be less sensitive to ultrasonic frequencies. For very persistent issues, consider using multiple units or combining with other deterrent methods.

Repeller stops working after a short period.

The batteries may be depleted. Replace with new AA batteries. Battery life is approximately three months with average use.

Water ingress despite being waterproof.

While IP55 rated for protection against water jets, ensure the battery compartment is securely closed and not submerged. If damage is suspected, contact the manufacturer.
