ULTRA SOUND REPELLERS
PRODUCT NAMES: Ultra Sound Repellers. We feature three types
detailed below. Carefully read each description and then choose
the unit that will best meet the needs of your particular problem.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: These devices emit a powerful sound
wave which falls into the "stress" sound range of many animals.
By targeting this sound range, these devices will both alert
and alarm the nuisance animal. Once the animal hears the sound,
it will attempt to avoid the sound and move away. This technology
has proven to work best on newly active and roaming animals.
Animals which have been feeding or roosting for any length of
time will attempt to ignore the sound. For this reason, it is not
suggested that you attempt to "chase off" nesting or feeding
animals that have been present for any extended period of time.
For such animals, you will first need to employ one of the
other control methods detailed in our control article. Only
when the active animal is relocated and not present should you
consider the installation of Ultra Sound devices.
*** REGARDING THE USE OF ULTRA SOUND AND PEOPLE OR PETS ***
Ultra Sound is a sound which many animals can hear but has
limitations. First, it is very much directional. This means
you must be directly in it's line - much like a beam of light
from a flashlight - to hear it. Secondly, Ultra Sound does not
penetrate anything well at all. This means it cannot go through
walls, plants, around buildings, etc. It is effective only in the
area directly in front of where a unit is placed and depending
on the unit, anywhere from 1000 to 5000 sq/ft. Thirdly, Ultra
Sound has a wide frequency range and generally one range which
might bother one animal will not bother another. For this reason
any good unit will either emit a variable sound pattern or allow
you to adjust the setting. Lastly, Ultra Sound works on the
principle of delivering a disturbing and annoying sound which
is in a range that targeted animals do not like. Though they
don't like this sound, Ultra Sound cannot "hurt or injure" any
animal. The sound does not have some type of magical power so
there is no need to worry about pets or children sustaining some
type of hearing loss or internal injury - it just can't happen.
What you could expect is that any pet or child might not like the
sound, should they be able to hear it, and may avoid areas where
Ultra Sound devices are installed. This is quite normal and
should be expected. Furthermore, if you are getting a unit to
use on some animal which is the same kind of animal as a
household pet, expect the pet to avoid where you install the
device. No harm will come to your pet should they enter an area
in the yard where such a device is installed but expect they
will not want to go there once the unit is active.
The three units we feature have proven effective and offer
different power needs, activation settings and effective range of
protection. Choose the one that best suits your need.

ITEM # 747772: This is the smallest of the three and is powered
strictly by a battery. It uses one 9 volt battery which will
usually have enough power for several months of operation. This
unit has an infrared motion detector so it will only go off when
targeted animals are within range. This conserves the battery.
It has an "on/off" switch on the back which is used
to turn the unit on. Contained in a mountable frame that
both houses the main unit and protects it from weather, it
is best to mount this device on trees, fences, buildings,
or walls. This location should be at a height which is equal
to the targeted animal. There is a tendency to place it too
high so animals can move under the motion detector; mounting it
too low will effectively take away some of it's range. Use
one unit to cover about 2000 sq/ft. Though it may work for
a larger area, best results will be obtained in this zone.
This unit will work in the rain or freezing temperatures
and is a true outdoor unit but can be used inside. Using
several around the yard is the most effective way to install
them by placing up a line of defense at key entry points. This
unit is best suited for Armadillo, Bats, Cats, Deer, Dogs,
Raccoon, Skunks and Rabbit but it may work on Mice, Rats
and Squirrels.
The following video does a good job of showing just how
this unit is controlled and how it functions.

ITEM # 747774: This unit is slightly larger then the 774772
and has many different features. First, it relies on AC power
so you will need to install it close to an electrical power
outlet. Secondly, it's always on. In other words, it does
not employ any type of motion detector to activate a sound
release. Once turned on, this unit will continuously emit
ultra sound waves. Thirdly, this unit is not weather protected.
It's designed for indoor use but can be used outside where
you have a protected area which will not get wet. Lastly,
this unit will cover an area up to 4000 sq/ft for small
animals like Mice, Rats and Squirrels or Bats. Use it in
areas up to 2000 sq/ft for animals like Armadillo, Cats,
Deer, Dogs, Raccoon, Skunk or Rabbit. This unit is best
suited for the smaller animals listed above.
The following video does a good job of showing just how
this unit is controlled and how it functions.
1 Ea (ITEM # 747774)
ITEM # 747810: This is first of our true "commercial" units of
the four. It will work equally well on any animal like
Armadillo, Bats, Cats, Deer, Dog, Mice, Raccoon, Rats, Skunk,
or Rabbit. Other features include the ability to power it by
either the included AC converter or a 9-12 volt battery. The
battery could be a deep cycle marine 12 volt boat type or
some type of rechargeable battery in the 9-12 volt range.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS UNIT WILL RUN CONTINUOUSLY. IF POWERED
BY BATTERY, DO NOT EXPECT LONG BATTERY LIFE. OUR EXPERIENCE
IS THAT IT WILL USE UP MOST DEEP CYCLE BATTERY CHARGES IN
1-2 DAYS. THIS MEANS YOU WILL NEED TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY
QUITE FREQUENTLY. IT IS BEST IF THE BATTERY IS EQUIPPED WITH
A SOLAR CHARGER PANEL TO HELP KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. IF THIS
IS NOT AVAILABLE, CONSIDER THE NEXT UNIT, OUR OTHER COMMERCIAL
MODEL, WHICH FEATURES A MOTION DETECTOR. IT IS SHOWN BELOW.
This model, sku # 747810, is best suited for indoor installations
where a constant power supply via AC is available. That being said,
it's important to understand that some of the settings are
truly ultra sound - not detectable by humans - but some of the
settings may be heard by people. If you need to use one of the
settings which can be heard (detectable by humans), you may
want to make sure the unit is placed away from living areas
and hidden in areas like attics or crawl spaces. As a general
rule, the ultra sound settings will be for any of the small animals
like Bats, Mice, Rats or Squirrels when used inside. When installing
the unit outside, you can try one of the Ultra Sound settings at first.
However, if this does not provide the results you expected, adjust it
up to one of the audible settings. This is commonly needed due to
the vast expanse of space involved when using sound repellents
outside. In large open areas, it's hard to get the alarming
and irritating sound concentrated enough to effect target
animals. In order to accomplish this, a wider range of frequency
must be used which will result in the sounds being audible. For
this reason, you may find it helpful to keep the unit on a
power timer or some type of a remote or manually operated switch.
When targeting animals that are active only at night, have the
switch set to allow power during the night only. Once set,
an automatic power switch will power on the device daily. You
could rely on manually tuning on the unit as needed which is
commonly done when the unit is installed in attics, crawl spaces
or other places in the home. Like the # 747774, this unit is
always releasing sound continuously once on; it does not have
any type of motion activator. And remember to change the sound
setting every week or two when problem animals are reluctant to
move away; the variable sound patterns will prove to be more
effective compared to leaving it fixed at one frequency (setting).

this unit is controlled and how it functions.
