15 best rodent and insect repellers

The best repeller manufacturers

Before a detailed review of the list of the best, it is worth mentioning the leading companies in this market segment.

• "Tornado". One of the oldest manufacturers on the Russian market, developing traps for 25 years. It enjoys a reputation as a distributor of inexpensive and very effective repellers of various power levels.
• "EcoSniper". A young Russian company that started operating in 2013. It is interesting because in such a modest time frame (only five full years) it managed to break into the top in sales of traps in the country.
• i 4 Technology . The company that owns the most famous brand of repellers “Grad” in Russia. Engaged in the development of a wide range of special traps that are very popular among consumers.
• Weitech . The Belgian company is one of the few representatives from abroad that has managed to gain a foothold in the domestic Russian market. It has gained popularity due to its commitment to humanism: Weitech traps do not require the involvement of poisons in the process of repelling rodents - their effectiveness is achieved solely through the creation of an ultrasonic barrier.
• SITITEK . A Chinese corporation engaged in the production of household appliances and electronics for two decades. In 2013, the official sales representative office of the company was opened in Russia. It is a strong middle peasant in the domestic market in terms of sales of rodent repellers.
• Chiston and Co. Another representative of Russia, who launched production back in 1991. Having started out as suppliers to the military-industrial complex, mechanics and electronics, the company gradually moved into the development of household products. It is one of the segment leaders in the production and sales of rodent repellers.

How does a rat and mouse repeller work?

Rodent repellers work in accordance with different principles, which are designed to repel different types of animals - not only rats and mice, but also moles and shrews. Rodents living underground have their own perception characteristics, so they are repelled by devices that are installed directly into the soil and create its vibration within a certain radius. For those rodents that live on the surface of the earth, ultrasonic repellers are intended, which are installed in premises, warehouses, private houses and basements. Rodents perceive ultrasound in the same way that humans hear the rhythmic blows of a hammer being knocked a step away. Of course, it is impossible to remain within the range of the device for even a short period of time. Therefore, upon hearing the sound, animals quickly leave the range of the device.

The best electromagnetic rodent repellers

Unlike ultrasonic repellers, the action of electromagnetic devices is based on the creation of a single magnetic field of a special kind. It is generated thanks to the home electrical network and spreads throughout the protected area in pulses at certain time intervals. The main advantage of such devices is the virtual absence of interference, since the electromagnetic field, unlike ultrasonic waves, can “pass” through the wall. The disadvantage is expressed in the small area of ​​​​action - the radiation of the most powerful devices can cover only up to 200 square meters.

Application of ultrasonic repeller

The device for ultrasonic repellent of rats and mice is designed in such a way that, using ultrasound that is harmless to human hearing, but perceptible to rodents, it drives them away from the place of exposure. Since the device does not emit any chemical emissions during operation, it is even suitable for use in close proximity to residential premises. Of course, it can also be used in warehouses, including food storage.

Often rats and mice interfere with the organization of logistics and storage of goods, spoil packaging or the products themselves, and even gnaw through furniture. Wherever there are rodents, they leave behind not only damage, but also excrement and the possibility of spreading dangerous diseases. The optimal way to get rid of all these troubles and an excellent alternative to mousetraps and chemical poisoning substances is an ultrasonic rodent repeller. Its effect spreads over fairly large areas and allows you to clear the room of mice and rats in a matter of hours.

Is there a danger to humans

The ultrasonic wave that the device emits has a range from 18 to 70 kHz. These frequencies are not perceived by human hearing; they only affect rodents, suppressing their nervous system and hearing. Children and pets are also not affected by the repeller, with the only exceptions being hamsters, mice and rats living in cages.

Typically, devices operate from an electrical network or from batteries. It is recommended to operate around the clock until rodents completely disappear from the area. The repeller can be installed in residential buildings and apartments, in restaurants, in warehouses and office buildings, factories, in production, in sheds, basements, etc.

How to use the repeller

Before purchasing a rat and mouse repeller, it is important to study each model in detail, since you need to purchase a device with a range suitable for a particular room. There are some other nuances that allow you to achieve maximum efficiency in production.

The range specified by the manufacturer in the technical specifications for the device is designed for a space without partitions or other obstacles. This means that the device will be most effective if installed in an empty room, because ultrasound is reflected from the surfaces of walls, ceilings, and floors and completely fills the space. If there is a lot of furniture or other interior items in the room, choose a repeller with a higher power. It is also necessary to install the device correctly; in particular, you should not place it on the floor or block the radius with any furniture, because in this case the effect of the device will be reduced to zero.

Some manufacturers in their technical recommendations advise fixing the repeller at a height of 1-1.5 m or placing it on the floor. For rooms with a lot of furniture, you can also purchase multiple fixtures for maximum impact.

How long will it take you to see results? In just a week, not a trace will remain of the hordes of rodents. Of course, not everyone will disappear immediately. The final results of the device will be visible in a month, and not a single mouse will be left. For preventive purposes, you can use the device for a few more days.

The most popular mouse repeller models

Almost all devices for repelling mice are, as a rule, universal. It is logical to assume that more powerful models work more efficiently, but, accordingly, they are more expensive. But the reviews about the most popular (and inexpensive) devices on the market, for the most part, are not the most positive, which is also understandable; in order to reduce the cost of the device, the manufacturer puts in it the most inexpensive and sometimes low-quality components, without saving on advertising.

Typhoon LS-800

An effective ultrasonic means of protecting apartments and houses from mice. Can be used in non-residential premises, retail and industrial areas, including:

• basements,
• the shops,
• cellars,
• restaurants,
• warehouses,
• vegetable storage,
• granaries.

The device uses the latest developments of designers and modern technologies. Typhoon LS-800 prevents pests from adapting to it, since it is controlled by a controller that periodically changes the duration and frequency of the signal. The device uses components of both foreign and domestic production.

Popular ultrasonic means of protecting homes and apartments from mice

Typhoon LS-800 is distinguished by the following features:

• large area covered,
• high degree of reliability,
• the ability to combat rodents such as mice and rats,
• safety for humans and pets,

• Possibility of use both at home and at work.

The mice partially disappear a week after turning on the device. The full effect, according to the manufacturer, occurs after a month of continuous operation of the gadget. After this, Typhoon LS-800 is turned on at some intervals: for example, at night, when pests are most active.

Using the device requires the user to read the included instructions. When turned on, Typhoon LS-800 does not require specialized maintenance or additional measures. The fasteners allow you to mount the device to the wall or, if necessary, to the ceiling. It should be taken into account that the best effect is achieved when the ultrasonic signal is repeatedly reflected from solid obstacles such as walls, and upholstered furniture, thick curtains, carpets, etc. reduce the efficiency of radiation propagation.

The ultrasonic pulse also cannot penetrate dense objects, therefore, in order to avoid reducing the efficiency of the emitter, you should follow the recommendations for its installation. In the case of large premises or busy spaces, the simultaneous use of several devices is required.

Typhoon LS-800 has two operating modes, which can be switched using a button on the body. The first mode is intended for residential premises: the ultrasonic frequency and intensity of its radiation are adjusted so as not to cause discomfort in humans and pets, but have the maximum effect on rodents. The second mode turns on the device at maximum power; it is undesirable for people and pets to be in the room.
