One of the most common problems of private houses, garden houses, food production and storage facilities is the invasion of mice and rats that damage not only food, equipment and furniture, but also spreading various infections. The peak of the greatest activity of rodents occurs in the fall, after harvesting from fields and vegetable gardens, and in the spring, when the breeding season begins. Most of the harm to human farming is caused by the following rodents: field mouse, gray and black rat.
The methods of fighting these small pests that have existed for a long time can not be called perfect. Physical and mechanical methods (mousetraps, traps, sticky tapes, traps), for all their safety for humans and their pets, are only suitable for catching a small number of pests, and the chemical method, that is, the use of drugs with poisonous substances, can not be used in living quarters and warehouses of products. Therefore, highly effective and safe for human electronic ultrasonic (knots) scarers of mice and rats have been developed.
The ultrasonic device for repelling mice and rats can be considered the most humane, reliable, having no effect on the human body means of getting rid of rodents.
The principle of the ultrasonic device from mice and rats
At the heart of all devices that repel rodents, is the use of ultrasound technology with an ever-changing frequency, so as not to be addictive. The ultrasonic vibration that the device produces, depresses rodents, paralyzes their activity and the desire to communicate with their own kind, causes panic and fear attacks, as a result of which they leave the territory to which the repeller acts.
In order to start using a mouse repeller in an apartment or any other room, it's enough to put it in the place of their greatest accumulation, to be included in the network and not to touch within a month.
Disadvantages of ultrasonic rodent repellents are:
- dependence on power supply;
- poor penetration into other rooms, since ultrasound is reflected from concrete, glass, wood, brick and absorbed by soft tissues.
Popular models of repellents of mice and rats
Now there is a huge number of models of such scarers, differing mainly only in the range of action:
- "Tornado-400" - in an enclosed area -100 m², in the open area up to 400 m².
- "Tsunami" - 200 m².
- "Tsunami 2" - 250 m².
- Chiston-2 Pro 500 m²
- "Chiston-2" - 300 m².
- "Typhoon" - 200 m².
- Electrokot - 100 m².
- "Buran" - 200 m².
Recommendations for the installation and operation of the repeller mice and rats:
- Remove (if possible) soft surfaces (curtains, carpets, etc.).
- The installation site must not be enclosed.
- The installation height must be at least 30 cm above the floor.
- The device should be in an upright position.
- Do not wash with chemicals, you can wipe it with a slightly damp cloth.
- Do not allow moisture to enter, fall or impact on it.
- It can be used at temperatures from 0 ° C to + 40 ° C.
- To increase the effect in different rooms, use a separate instrument.
With the correct use of the repeller, the rodents will begin to disappear within 4 weeks, but before that their number may increase, just losing a sense of self-preservation and being disoriented, they will often come across your eyes. To prevent the appearance of rodents, it is recommended to turn on the repeller weekly for 2-3 days.
But, having made the decision to use a repeller in living quarters, remember that pets such as hamsters , guinea pigs , domestic rats or mice may suffer, therefore it is better to move them for a while to another place.
