Do rodent repellers really help and are they good quality?
Our company has been selling ultrasonic repellers for many years.
During this time, we have worked with many brands of these devices and gained a lot of experience, and at the moment we sell only those devices that not only work, but actually help! The repellers presented on our website are time-tested, and therefore we guarantee the effectiveness and quality of operation of these devices.
As an example, below are several reviews from our customers, for whom our devices helped get rid of mice, rodents and earthen pests for years.
“...At first I bought repellers in Auchan and Ob - Chinese, for 400-500 rubles. The moles even seemed to like them, they crawled towards them from all over the area, and the devices themselves worked until the first rain. Then I bought, which was recommended, “Tornado” for 1000 rubles. To begin with, I placed one in the center of a large area for testing, so they crawled into the corners, where apparently the sound and vibration did not reach, I bought more, placed it - they crawled to the neighboring area)))..." Alexander, Istra, 2010.
“...Rats and mice were constantly running into our cafe from the backyard. We constantly used the poison, and then installed several Tornado 400 repellers; within 10 days they disappeared - they were never seen again! And now, on the advice of the seller, we turn it on for a day or two every 10 days, so that they don’t come back! Good things help!..." Anna, Moscow, 2010.
“...I’m from Omsk, I ordered repellers delivered by mail, they arrived in 10 days, they’ve been working for 4 days already. The first effect is already visible - there are fewer mice..." Konstantin, Omsk, 2010.
Really working repellers
There are few good rat and mouse repellers sold in our country. There are also a couple of industrial options that work as well. But you won't use them because they are very expensive and they are not recommended for use in residential areas due to the very fast frequency change and high sound pressure.
Bioguard is a very effective repeller
There are a number of conditionally working devices that can be used, for example, as a car repeller of rats and mice after a little DIY modification. Why conditional, you ask. We answer:
- in principle, they work
- the sound pressure force is weak, they scare away only in close proximity
-narrow sector of wave propagation, that is, they act narrowly in a certain sector, not throughout the entire room
Conditionally working repellers
Here we note those devices for which quite often, along with bad ones, there are also good reviews on the Internet. These devices can be used for some local purposes if the instructions are fully followed:
EcoSniper LS-927M
Weitech WK-0600

Chiston-2 Pro
Chiston-2 Pro is the best rat and mouse repeller available on the market. This statement is confirmed by experiences and reviews of people. Chiston-2 PRO meets the stated characteristics. Changes frequency, propagates waves 360 degrees, volume over 110 dB. Other manufacturers do not have such a circular radiation pattern. Why is it important? Because with a narrowly targeted repeller, the animals quickly get used to it and move around, remaining in areas of the room where the device’s effect does not reach. The device completely covers the sector, which is why it is the most effective repeller of rats and mice. Costs approximately 2700 rubles.
Chiston-2
Chiston 2 is a similar device, just smaller in size and weaker in characteristics. Suitable for a small room. Price 2300 rubles
Bioguard, a device from the same manufacturer, has a high impact power and a sound pressure of 130 dB. Price 4500 rubles
TM-315 is the most expensive repeller on the market, costs about 11,000 rubles. The device can be used rationally at industrial facilities
Are repellers safe for people and pets?
Ultrasonic repellers are absolutely safe devices for both humans and pets, but at the same time they are very effective in the fight against rodents, pests and insects.
Silent repellers of the Tornado brand have a level of ultrasonic pressure created at a distance of 1 meter that does not exceed the maximum permissible values established in GOST 12.1.001-89. They have no harmful effects on humans or pets. Hygienic conclusion for products No. 77.OM.05.515.P.000509.01.06 dated January 24, 2006 of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare.
Repellers operating in the audio (audible to humans) range are not recommended to be installed in the same room as people and pets.
Review of the most popular ultrasonic rodent repellers - which one is better
Ultrasonic rodent repeller, reviews, which is better to use is still a subject of debate among gardeners. There are a large number of them on the market.

IMPORTANT
Do not use ultrasonic devices if rats, guinea pigs and other rodents live in the house.
How long does the repeller need to work for the rats and mice to go away?
Ultrasonic devices are designed to drive existing rodents out of the house, not to protect against one that is not there. It is very interesting how ultrasound works on rats and mice. According to the manufacturers who have actually tested their devices, rats simply follow the sound, it seems to attract them, and at the same time they look numb. Often in the first days of operation of the device, people see a rat running in circles or frozen in a daze. After some time, the animals begin to understand that something wrong is happening to them, and they try to move beyond the coverage area of the device. Therefore, the passports say that the time it takes for rodents to leave is from 3-4 days to 3-4 weeks.
The manufacturer of the ultrasonic device Tornado OG-08 said that one of his customers installed 4 powerful devices in the bathhouse, each of which could serve 400 square meters. m. And by morning, 16 mice were lying with their paws up - they had nowhere to go. The bathhouse was made to last, there was not a single hole in it. There was another similar situation. One morning, after installing the appliances, the buyer opened the door to his shed, and a whole family of rats rushed past him with bloodshot eyes. After such cases, a note appeared in the technical data sheets stating that it is advisable to leave a gap or hole into which animals can escape.
IMPORTANT: when you first start using the repeller, you must keep it turned on around the clock until the rodents disappear completely. In the future, turning on the repellers around the clock is not required, but is used as rodents appear.
Let's get acquainted with the miracle of technology
An ultrasonic mouse repeller is a special device that generates high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) that supposedly repel rodents. An ultrasonic rodent repeller is installed in a room occupied by pests, connected to the network and left there for some time (2-3 weeks). In this case, the pests do not die, but leave the room, as they experience inconvenience due to such constant exposure. An ultrasonic rat repeller is essentially the same device, only more powerful. There is a huge variety of ultrasonic devices for mice. The price range of anti-rodent devices varies from 500 rubles to 10 thousand, and even more.
What you need to know to use electronic repellers
Using a rat and mouse repeller is, in fact, not an easy task in terms of thought and efficiency of use. Let’s just say that not every mouse and rat repellent, either ultrasonic or magnetic, will effectively cope with the task in any conditions and environment.
All anti-rodent devices must be used according to certain rules dictated by science and nature. The devices themselves must have certain characteristics. Let’s admit right away that not everything that is distributed on the market is suitable for effective protection. Let's say even more, the bulk of the anti-rodent devices sold are outright scams. You will understand why further by reading this article.
For now, let's draw some intermediate conclusions.
These pests can be combated using electronic devices, sometimes even very effectively, but this is not a panacea. To achieve success, you need to follow certain rules and use a truly working device, of which there are actually not many on the market.
A scam or does it really work?
Let's say right away - it really works. If it didn’t work for you, then you either used a bad rat and mouse repeller, or, if the device was 100% working, you used it incorrectly. The operating principle of the technology really works. All rodents do not like ultrasound and try to avoid places where such waves exist. But it is important to understand that these waves must be of a certain frequency, and constantly change. Rodents, if there is a lot of food in this place, get used to it or tolerate the same frequency for food. This phenomenon occurs more often in rats.
The effect of ultrasound on pests
Ultrasound works against mice. Some people think that such a device emits some kind of radiation that kills animals. But this is not true. The device simply generates high-frequency sound waves, which the human ear cannot perceive, but rodents can hear. Ultrasound against rats can also be effective. Specific animals react differently to this stimulus.
According to scientists, frequencies that cause panic or anxiety in rodents should be more than 20 kilohertz. In addition to frequency, sound pressure is important. Numerous experiments have shown that this value should be more than 110 decibels. Pests definitely won't like this. The frequency of ultrasound must constantly change, since we cannot initially know exactly which frequency will cause anxiety and panic in rodents and which will not. This condition is also necessary to avoid getting used to a certain frequency.
The effect of ultrasound on people and pets
Everything here is individual. Fortunately, humans are generally not susceptible to ultrasound, unlike rodents and other small animals. So if you did everything correctly and your repeller is working, the mice will run away. But your hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, etc. will feel bad. They will be constantly in a state of anxiety, panic, will try to hide or run away, and will stop eating. There have been observations that dogs and cats also sometimes exhibit anxiety. By the way, if you have hamsters or pigs, with their help you will find out whether the ultrasonic device that you have will help get rid of rodents.
There are devices on sale that supposedly expel mice using an electromagnetic field. And this is a real scam. Every day, along with the mice we need to get rid of, we are exposed to thousands of electromagnetic fields. We live among them and nothing happens.
Why is it not recommended to place repellers on the floor?
It is recommended to install ultrasonic rodent repellers indoors with the front panel facing the rodents’ habitat, taking into account that the most effective operation is achieved through repeated reflection of ultrasound from the inner surface of the walls and ceiling. Soft surfaces (curtains, clothing, furniture upholstery, etc.) absorb ultrasound and thereby reduce the effectiveness of the repeller.
If the room is filled with upholstered items, it is recommended to raise the appliances above them to increase efficiency.
It is for these reasons that installing appliances on the floor is not recommended.
How do rodents react to repellers?
According to the manufacturers who have actually tested their devices, rats simply follow the sound, it seems to attract them, and at the same time they look numb. Often in the first days of operation of the device, people see a rat running in circles or frozen in a daze. After some time, the animals begin to understand that something wrong is happening to them, and they try to move beyond the coverage area of the device, so the passports say that the time for rodents to leave is from 3-4 days to 3-4 weeks.

In passports, a note appeared stating that it is advisable to leave a gap or hole into which animals can escape.
What is the best way to install a repeller for the most effective results?
Rodent repellers are recommended to be installed indoors with the front panel facing the rodents' habitat, taking into account that the most effective operation is achieved through repeated reflection of ultrasound from the inner surface of the walls and ceiling. Soft surfaces (curtains, clothing, furniture upholstery, etc.) absorb ultrasound and thereby reduce the effectiveness of ultrasonic repellers.

When you first start using the repeller, you need to keep it turned on around the clock until the rodents disappear completely. In the future, turning on the repellers around the clock is not required, but is used as rodents appear.
How many repellers are needed for one room?
The first thing you should keep in mind is that ultrasound is not able to pass through dense objects (walls, etc.). The ideal option would be to install a repeller in every room. However, there are situations when one appliance is enough for the whole house, if it is not large.
If a rodent repeller is placed in one room, but the door to the next one is constantly open, then, obviously, there will be no rodents in the next room.
If this room is filled with various objects, for example a warehouse (racks, boxes, boxes...), then it is better to increase the density of repellers per square meter. meter of room compared to the effective area of the repeller.
Ultrasonic repeller
A relatively new product is an ultrasonic repeller. Its use makes it possible to get rid of annoying roommates without running around the room with a fly swatter or broom. The device uses ultrasonic signals to create an uncomfortable sound background for insects. Unable to withstand these terrible (in their understanding) sounds, they leave your room.
And they move on to another. You also need to install your own repeller there. And if there are more than one or two rooms, then the fight against insects and rodents will be expensive financially. In addition, according to consumer reviews, the device interferes with the lives of not only mice, but also the owners. This same ultrasound is not very pleasant for them either. It was not possible to find out reviews of cats and dogs.
