Ultrasonic Solar Mole Repeller

Moles gardeners and gardeners cause a lot of trouble: they damage the planted seedlings, gnaw the roots of bushes and trees, piling up heaps of dug land throughout the territory. A modern solar-powered mole repeller is a device that does not need to be connected to the mains. It is enough to install it in the ground, and it will become the salvation and protection of plantings from earth-moving animals.

Repeller task

The main task of the solar-powered ultrasonic mole repeller is to drive out earth moving pests from the territory of a garden or garden plot and prevent their further appearance. Previously, the fight against them was the use of poisons, mole traps and trapsthat was a short success and low efficiency.

But, when it became known that shrews, moles and mole rats absolutely not tolerate sound vibrations propagating through the air or underground, it was possible to create an effective weapon to scare away underground rodents. High- or low-frequency sounds are harmless to humans, birds and other animals, but moles perceive them as a signal of danger, having heard which, they instinctively try to go a safe distance away from the sound source.

However, over time, pests can adapt to such sounds in a certain range, therefore modern repellers designed so that cyclically or periodically there is a change in the operating frequency, and the animals are not addictive. Many consider them more effective than common ones. self made repellers.

Interesting!

Animals that lead an underground lifestyle have good hearing and are very sensitive to soil vibration, so infra-frequency vibrations affect their nervous system annoyingly. The use of sound scaring methods is the most environmentally friendly and humane in relation to moles, mole rats and shrews.

Operating principle

The mole repeller structurally consists of 2 parts:

• the case in the form of a hat with solar panels for power - is located on top;
• pointed hollow rod in which the sound emitter is installed.

After installing the repeller in the soil to a depth equal to half the length of the roots of the plants, and its inclusion, the propagation of sound vibrations of a certain frequency occurs. The radius of action is determined by the power of the emitter and the presence of mechanical obstacles in the path of ultrasonic waves. Animals that fall into the coverage area of ​​the device hear signals in the form of negative sensations that cause them to panic and desire to leave the dangerous territory.

On a note!

The installation of repellers is recommended to be done in those areas of the garden plot where the presence of earth-moving pests is determined by the heaps of land, then the repelling efficiency will be higher.

Specifications

The main advantage of solar-powered repellers is their autonomy and mobility, i.e.You can install the device anywhere in the area and carry it if necessary. On sunny days, the battery is recharged automatically through the integrated panel at the top of the cap. However, if the weather is cloudy for several days, the charge level may decrease, in this case there is a charger or a set of batteries in the repeller kit, which will help maintain the necessary technical specifications for normal operation.

Sound pulses are usually generated randomly and are effective in a certain area of ​​the site, therefore, it is recommended to install several repellers at a distance of a large area with a distance of 25-30 m.

Such devices have a moisture-proof housing made of aluminum or plastic, which protects against rain drops. However, it cannot be installed in too wet or frozen soil, therefore, before the start of frosts, the device must be removed and cleaned, then stored until the next warm season.

Repeller manufacturers against underground animals promise full getting rid of moles on the site within 3-6 weeks, the duration of this period depends on the temperature and humidity of the soil, the individual sensitivity of animals to sounds and noises.

On a note!

When introducing it into the ground, it is impossible to use heavy and solid tools (a hammer, etc.) so as not to damage the batteries and the body of the device. After installation, it is better to compact the soil well to remove air voids.

Repeller models and their effectiveness

Consider the most popular models, their technical characteristics, efficiency, prices and reviews on solar-powered mole repellers.

Tornado 03 V.03

The Russian-made repeller produces sound vibrations at a frequency of 400 Hz with pauses of 45-60 seconds. In the sun, the battery is charged all day, at night it is powered by 4 finger batteries. Dimensions: 155x155x425 mm.

The exposure range is designed for 1000 square meters. m, that is, a plot of 10 acres in the absence of obstacles (wells, foundations of buildings, stones, etc.).

Price 2600 rub.

Feedback

I bought a Tornado repeller in the store, but its area of ​​operation turned out to be much smaller than what was indicated in the instructions. Therefore, to protect the entire territory of the site, I had to buy 3 more.

WEITECH WK677 SOLAR

Ultrasonic repeller of a Belgian company, the range of 300 square meters. m, which effectively scares away snakes, moles and mice. Operating mode: 2 sec. There is a signal, then 40 s. pause. The device works for 5 days without additional recharging.

The cost of 3200 rubles.

SITITEK Thunder-Profi LED +

Hong Kong's production repeller model is powered by solar panels and has quality certificates of Russian and European standards.

Specifications:

• signal frequency: 400-1000 Hz with an interval of 30 seconds;
• the battery capacity is 800 mA / h, which ensures operation even in cloudy weather for 3 days;
• large area of ​​action - 600-70 square meters. m allows you to use 1 device in the country with 6 hundred parts;
• generates signals with a non-repeating sequence, which reduces the likelihood of moles getting used to;
• the case is tight and not subject to the influence of rain and snow;
• can be used as a night lamp.

The price is about 3000 rubles.

Feedback

I bought Thunder Citytek on the advice of a neighbor who, with his help, dispersed the moles in his area. However, a positive effect was seen only a month after the purchase. Apparently, my moles have “iron” nerves.

Scat 49

Russian repeller. The action of the device allows you to change the frequency of ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 400-1000 Hz in the "floating mode" with pauses of 15-60 seconds. During the day, the device’s battery is charged from sunlight, when dark, the backlight automatically turns on, which allows it to be used as a night lamp. Battery life - 48 hours.

Installation of the device occurs at a depth of 20 cm near the mole passages. Effective area - 800 square meters. m, battery size 89x61 mm. It is recommended to install several repellers at a distance of 20-30 m throughout the site.

Price 1290 rub.

SOLAR MOLE REPELLER

The repeller generates sound waves at a frequency of 200-900 Hz, to which earth-moving pests react as hazard signals. The signal changes arbitrarily so as not to be addictive in animals.

Area of ​​action: 650 square meters. m, the solar battery capacity is 45 mA, the complex has a battery, you can buy such a device for 900 rubles.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Solar Powered Repellers

Advantages of such devices:

• autonomy of work: charging the battery from sunlight ensures continuous operation for 2-3 days even in cloudy weather;
• large area of ​​repelling effects on moles;
• signals are generated in a non-repeating sequence, which reduces the likelihood of addiction in moles and other digging animals;
• Dustproof and moistureproof housing allows it to be used for any negative environmental influences (rain, snow);
• possibility of use as a night lamp;
• Some models have 2 power sources: from the solar panel and replaceable batteries.

The disadvantage of the repeller is that moles usually do not immediately leave the territory, but only after 3-6 weeks. Also, the result of the device is not always positive, because it depends on the individual characteristics of the animals, their getting used to loud noises, as well as on the state of the soil.
