Mole repeller made in China
As soon as the last snow disappears in the summer cottages, traces of uninvited guests become visible on the surface. Moles, mice and shrews not only leave pits to equip their burrows, but also destroy plant roots, seeds and root crops.
In the fight against natural pests, gardeners use ready-made poisons, kerosene, a mixture of dill and parsley, dried marigolds, rancid fish and even detergents. We cannot say how effective the "folk" methods are, but in our time it is worth paying attention to more modern methods of exterminating rodents. It is a solar-powered device that repels pests using ultrasound.
There are many varieties of this device in online stores. Among our compatriots, ultrasonic scarers in the shape of a "mushroom", consisting of a plastic leg and a "hat" with a solar battery, are popular.
The product resembles the traditional lanterns that gardeners use to decorate their plots. The effectiveness of ultrasound in the fight against rodents causes a lot of controversy, therefore summer residents do not want to spend 2-3 thousand rubles on a useless device.
As an experiment, you can order an ultrasonic repeller on the AliExpress website at a price of 570 rubles. According to the description, such a device affects rodents, bears and even snakes. For installation, choose a location with firm ground for better wave propagation.
Main advantages:
- waterproof case;
- solar panel that does not require charging from the network;
- impact area 650 sq. m;
- safety for children and pets.
The constant change in the sound sequence excludes adaptation and addiction in pests. To increase the efficiency of the device, sellers from the Middle Kingdom advise installing them every 30 meters. It turns out that only two ultrasonic scarers should be ordered for a standard six hundred square meters.
Buyers are divided on this product. Some summer residents continue to observe freshly dug pits on their plots, while others, on the contrary, confirm all the sellers' promises.
In addition, there are many reviews about the inadequate quality of a product that breaks down after rain. A defective solar energy storage battery will also damage the device.
In this case, buying an ultrasonic repeller on AliExpress is like a lottery. However, unlike Russian online stores, there is no 1 year warranty or return option for the device.
