PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Solar powered pest repeller that incorporates several features making it unique and different from every other unit on the market. First, it does the standard "vibrating" sound mole repellers are known to produce. But what separates our model from all others are two more components.
The second is the regular release of both audible and ultrasonic sounds detectable by small animals like gophers, voles, ground squirrels, snakes and even Bufo Frogs. These animals will hear our unit from afar and they will not like the sound.
Lastly, there are small LED lights that glow on the bottom side of the controller head. These lights add an extra "scary" look to any small ground dwelling animal like mice, rats, snakes and more. These lights come on at night and are subtle in the landscape. Especially from our perspective being that we're well above the light bulbs. But to ground dwelling animals, these lights look like a predator or some other danger.
REPELLER DESIGN: Each repeller is made with a sturdy body topped with a heavy gauge plastic/waterproof head. This head is the unit's controller featuring a built in solar panel and solid state motherboard.

Units will work right out of the box but we suggest you let them sit in the sun for at least 2 days prior to installation. The head unit comes detached from the ground stake body so they can be laid on a window sill to collect sun easily before placing them in the yard. This will allow them to fully charge so when they're deployed, they'll have plenty of power to drive away nuisance animals immediately. The on board battery will last 2+ days with no sun so if units slow or turn off, you'll need a strong day of sunlight to get them active again but they will power back up eventually.
The included rechargeable battery will last for several years but can be replaced when it will no longer stay charged. We sell these separately (see below).
TARGET PESTS: BUFO TOADS GOPHERS GROUND SQUIRRELS MOLES PRAIRIE DOGS SNAKES VOLES
HOW TO INSTALL REPELLERS IN THE YARD: Once the Controller Heads are charged, repellers are ready to be deployed.
Place repellers in the ground deep enough to bury all but 1-2" of the stake. This will keep the head unit off the ground and away from water.
To properly install units, its advised you first use a SOIL AUGER to drill holes in the ground. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE REPELLER IN THE GROUND! These units are strong but not designed to handle extreme downward force.
HOW TO CONNECT CONTROLLER HEAD TO STAKE: The controller head has a power cord and quick USB coupler for easy connection.
WHERE TO INSTALL REPELLERS: Repellers can be used directly in mounds and dens of active animals or they can be set along property borders to keep animals from entering. When trying to repel active nesting animals, its suggested you place units in the middle of their den tunnels and let the unit go to work for at least one week before deploying more units along property borders. This will allow nesting animals an escape route and not keep them "trapped" on your land in between two units.
TARGET ANIMALS: Since these units incorporate audible sound, ultra sound, vibration and light to repel pests, they can be used to chase away a range of animals including but not limited to moles, voles, gophers, prairie dogs, ground squirrels, chipmunks, snakes, lizards, iguana and toxic Bufo Cane toads.
RATE OF APPLICATION: Each repeller can cover up to 6,500 sq/ft (approximately 1/6 acre) but this will depend largely on the soil type where they reside. Soft loamy, sandy soil won't transmit the sound waves as well compared to hard pan or clay. Obstructions like cement driveways and walkways will also take away from the effective coverage area and should be noted. So for soft sandy shoreline soil types, plan on getting 4,000-5,000 sq/ft of coverage per unit. For hard pan or dry clay soil regions, coverage can be 6,500-7,500 sq/ft.
When setting units out along property borders, plan on placing units 75 feet apart to ensure a strong "fence" is put in place.

** WHEN USING UNITS ON ESTABLISHED GOPHER OR PRAIRIE DOG DENS, ONLY DEPLOY UNITS WHERE ANIMALS ARE ACTIVE. THIS WILL GIVE THEM TIME TO LEAVE THE AREA AND NOT BE TRAPPED BY UNITS AT YOUR LANDS BORDER. ONCE ACTIVE ANIMALS ARE GONE, SET UNITS ALONG PROPERTY LINES WHERE THEY MIGHT ENTER.

Comments on DELUXE SOLAR POWERED MOLE VOLE GOPHER SNAKE REPELLER

I would like to buy these to replay Cane Toads. We have a lake in our back yard that is typical in South Florida, the Cane Toads are huge. We have a yellow lab and GoldenDoodle puppy. We need the toads to keep their distance on a more permanent basis than what the Pest Rid will probably do. I figure I don't need the Pest Rid if these work as they say they do – do you agree? I have heard stories about Water Moccasin snakes in the area as well, so I'm glad to see it also repels snakes.
Question: How do these affect a dog's hearing since dogs are more sensitive than humans? Can they hear the sound? Is it harmful to them? Please advise. Thanks.

K.,
In our experience, using both initially is best if you have an active problem. So plan on setting out Pest Rid Granules with Pest Rid Spray over the top. A week or two later, install the sound repellers. Using both when dealing with an ongoing active problem is best. But if you don't have the Cane Toads just yet, then you can put off using the Pest Rid to start as the repellers alone should keep them away if installed before the toads are established.
As for the units bothering the pets; this is not going to happen. First, animals who "belong" on the territory won't mind it and second, the sound is not harmful in the first place. Its more of a warning to an animal who doesn't belong in an area that they'd better be careful. Snakes will be affected because it will annoy them like other reptiles and amphibians due to their biology. But mammals like dogs are not affected the same way. Now ground dwelling animals like moles, voles, gophers are directly annoyed by the sound since it will be in their living space. And my guess if your dog was living under ground with a unit close by it would be annoying. But for pets living in the home or even in kennels, it won't bother them.
Hope this helps.
