Rodent repeller

Rats and mice are carriers of various diseases, such as plague. The fight against them must be started immediately. Previously, people used folk remedies that no longer work. The most effective way is to install scarers. They come in three types, and each of them has different technical and functional characteristics.

The reasons for the appearance of rodents

Rodents can appear both in a private house and in an apartment. They make their way into the dwelling through basements, ventilation, crevices, garbage chutes or elevator shafts. If the walls of the dwelling are load-bearing, and the partitions are hollow, then it is easier for rodents to get through.

There are several reasons why mice and rats decide to enter housing:

• Improper organization of food storage. Rodents are very sensitive to odors and walk unhindered towards their prey. Their favorite foods are sunflower seeds, various nuts, cereals and cereals. Any product must be stored in an airtight bag or jar. In addition, the room must always be clean.
• A damp and at the same time warm room. With the beginning of autumn, the room must be ventilated and the foundation and corners must be examined well. It is important to exclude the presence of gaps and holes. If there are any, then they need to be repaired with plaster with the addition of agents that scare off mice and rats.

The appearance of rodents

If the animals nevertheless entered the room, then you need to know where they usually show their activity in order to quickly escort uninvited guests.

The main favorite places for rodents:

• under the skirting board;
• in the corners;
• under the bathroom;
• in the kitchen;
• where the garbage bin is located;
• in ventilation;
• in stove passages when the stove is not in use;
• under carpets (wall and floor).

Rodents nest

Rodents nest far from human eyes, so apartments act as places for food. If you do not start to fight them in time, then the whole brood will eat exactly where their mother chose a place.

Types of rodent repellents

The mice repeller is created using a special technology. It consists in not destroying the animal, but scaring it away with ultrasound or electromagnetic waves. Special scarers are gaining more and more popularity, because a long struggle, and even more so a long neighborhood with rodents, does not suit a single person.

Ultrasonic

The ultrasound-based rat and mouse repeller has high frequencies and is irritating to the nervous system of mice and rats. In this regard, the animal experiences panic attacks and leaves quickly.

When an animal approaches the device, it immediately experiences an imbalance in space and is deprived of the opportunity to transmit impulses to its relatives. The device does not kill or harm rodents, it simply does not allow them to enter human territory. Ultrasonic scarers can be used in any premises.

The waves emitted by the ultrasonic repeller do not pass through the floors, so you need to purchase as many devices as there are rooms in the room. In about 14-21 days, you can wean rodents to visit any room.

Ultrasonic rodent repellents

Advantages of the unit emitting ultrasonic waves:

• no harm to humans and domestic animals;
• long continuous work;
• protection from insects and rodents;
• simple control.

There is only one drawback - you will have to buy several devices if there is a multi-room premise.

Electromagnetic

Electromagnetic rodent repellents during operation generate magnetic impulses that irritate the nervous system of pests. After the first turn on, you can see that mice and rats, on the contrary, run into the room. This is due to the fact that impulses tend to penetrate walls and ceilings, driving animals away. They start rushing about and looking for a way out.

The advantages of the device:

• harmless to humans;
• large impact area (200 sq. m.);
• does not affect the operation of electrical appliances;
• quick result.

The disadvantage of the electrical unit is the need for long wiring (around the perimeter of the room). If this is not possible, then you need to equip one of the longest walls.

Combined

Combined rodent repellents have been designed for ease of use. Both ultrasonic and electromagnetic influences are reflected in their work. With these devices you can get rid of rodents and insects.

The advantages of the combined repeller:

• fast and powerful effect;
• safety;
• universality of application.

This device has only one drawback - the high price.

How to deal with rodents

Pest control must begin with a good cleaning of the premises. All food leftovers, cereals must be placed in sealed containers. Rodents can be fought physically, chemically or repellingly:

• The physical method involves setting a variety of traps and bait traps. When pests hit them, they die from a sharp blow. Such methods are cheap, but currently ineffective. Rodents have become so smart that they won't come close to such a device, even if there is cheese.
• The chemical-based method is more effective, but dangerous if there are children and animals in the house. Poisons are used, which are mixed into the favorite food of rats and mice.
• The deterrent method is the safest and most effective one. It can be used in any room.

How to choose a rodent repeller: an overview of the best devices

Many deterrent devices are produced today. The main thing is to choose the best and most efficient device. Below are some of the most popular devices, summarized in the table.

All devices do their job perfectly. When buying a unit, you need to consider some rules:

• When choosing a device, you must first of all focus on the global nature of the problem. If there are a lot of rodents, then it is best to buy a more powerful combination repeller. It is also worth spending money on it if the area of ​​the room is too large. If an ultrasonic device is selected, then one device must be purchased for one room.
• The obligatory criterion is the sound frequency, it must be at least 25 kHz. For greater efficiency, it is better to choose a device with a frequency close to 50 kHz.
• It is better to buy universal units so that the range of exposure is wider (insects, beetles, mice, rats and other pests).

Universal aggregates

Following these recommendations, it will be much easier to choose a device.

DIY ultrasonic mice and rats repeller

Those who have some knowledge in the field of radio engineering, you can decide and make a device to scare off rodents on your own. The work must be done according to the scheme. The ultrasound frequency is set independently (25-50 kHz).

To calculate the frequency, you need to use a special formula (1 / (R5xC6 + R7xC5)).

Parts for a homemade device can be taken from an unnecessary electronic board or bought from the market. You will also need a soldering iron; without it, the scarer will simply be impossible to assemble.

Mice and rats are annoying pests that carry a variety of diseases. You need to get rid of them as soon as possible. If you assemble the device with your own hands, then it will be beneficial, but you need to understand and understand such equipment. Manufacturing will take a lot of time, so it is more expedient to buy a ready-made electronic device.
