Ultrasonic rat repellers: TOP 5 best models + reviews

Pesky rodents can not only spoil things and crops or food, but also carry various dangerous diseases into a person’s home. It is not always possible to get rid of rats using barbaric methods; there is still a high probability that these “guests” will appear from time to time. They like to nest in the underground of houses where people live, near food waste, in warehouses, basements, pantries, and so on. They multiply quickly, so getting rid of them is difficult.

Chemicals can be harmful to people and animals; mice and rats get used to them, which is why the poisons stop working on them. Mechanical traps do not always show their effectiveness; rats avoid them, and only a very hungry individual will approach the trap. Today they use a new approach - scaring rodents away from those places where fires usually like to hunt with the help of ultrasonic devices.

Modern researchers and users of such installations have already noted their rather high effectiveness. With the help of sound waves of certain frequencies emitted from the device, rats run away from the source of radiation, as they perceive this as a danger signal. We propose to study the brief characteristics of several such devices, with the principle of repelling pests with ultrasonic waves.

Reviews about rodent repellers in general

Installed rodent repellents at work. This was the only way to escape from rats and mice and drive them out of the enterprise. It was impossible to poison with poison, since it was food production. Sergey Voronin

I installed a repeller in a country house. The device performed well. Previously, mice ate up all the leftover food that was there. Now I leave a crust of bread or a piece of cheese on the table, the next day everything lies untouched. The mice are gone. Valentin Belyaev

My stepfather used a repeller at his dacha. He says it helped. Unfortunately, they didn’t turn it on at home, because we have tame rats, and the instructions say that it will work on domestic rodents. Diana Pavlyuchenko

Store comment:

Dear Diana, you really can’t use ultrasonic devices in apartments where there are rodent pets (decorative rats, hamsters, guinea pigs) so as not to drive them crazy. We can only advise you to move your pet to a safe place while fighting mice and rats.

About Electrokot

My friends installed an “Electrocat” in the basement, they have nothing but good things to say about it, although it makes a lot of noise. Alena (Smolensk)

Store comment:

The Electric Cat repeller really effectively fights mice and rats, especially in sound mode, but this mode is not applicable in rooms where people are constantly present. If you need a completely silent device, then you should choose something under the Tornado brand.

Electric cat: characteristics, operation, advantages

The Electrocat repeller is a device that creates certain sound waves. Their strength is constantly changing. The scaring effect is further enhanced by LED flashes. This complex of effects negatively affects the psyche of rodents, which begin to look for a way out of the room and leave it forever. Thus, Electrocat will help rid your home of rats and wild mice, but its effect does not apply to insects.

Ultrasound causes stress in rodents and a desire to leave the room as soon as possible

The electric cat is equipped with two operating modes: day and night. To change them, just press a button on the device itself. The night mode supplements the emitted ultrasound with acoustic vibrations (weak squeaks), which even the human ear can hear. The daytime mode of operation of the device disables this function, since there may be people near the device at this time and the sound produced by the device can cause a feeling of discomfort.

In night mode, sound effects are added to the ultrasonic radiation

The Electrocat repeller has two varieties: Classic and Turbo.

Classic repeller Electrocat

The classic Electric Kot is produced in Russia. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. To connect the device, you must have a 220 V power supply.

The Electrokot repeller can be used to combat rodents in residential, office and warehouse premises, as well as in food factories and in the holds of ships

The frequency of acoustic vibrations depends on the selected mode. So, in the daytime version (green button) it is from 17–20 to 50–100 kHz, in the night version (red button) - from 5–8 to 30–40 kHz.

This device weighs 250 grams and has the following dimensions:

• width - 6.5 cm;
• height - 10.9 cm;
• length - 2.5 cm.

The signal propagation zone of a classic Electrocat reaches 200 square meters, the angle of action is 110 degrees. The repeller operates at temperatures from -30°C to +40°C.

The delivery set includes the Electrokot device itself, a power supply, a technical data sheet, a plug with a wire for connecting other power sources, and packaging.

The device is guaranteed for 10 years. The operating time at the time of failure should be no more than 5000 hours. After this time, the warranty becomes void. The price of the device starts from 1100 rubles.

Electrokot Turbo

Electric cat Turbo has exactly the same characteristics as the classic one. However, the ultrasound propagation zone increases to 400 square meters. The appearance of the device is also slightly modified, but it still has the same overall dimensions.

The presence of a bright LED has an additional effect on the psyche of rodents, which, in combination with ultrasonic waves, increases the effectiveness of the repeller

The price of the Electrokot Turbo device starts from 1250 rubles.

When choosing the type of device, you should decide in what area you plan to use it. If its area is more than two hundred square meters, then you should purchase the Turbo system.

How to use the device correctly

To connect Elektrokot to the electrical network, a power supply is used. When placing the device indoors, make sure that the installation site is not blocked by foreign objects that would interfere with radiation. The device must be installed no lower than 30 cm from the floor. For this purpose, a special mount is provided in the device itself.

When using Electrokot, you must adhere to the following precautions:

1. It is prohibited to operate a device that has mechanical damage.
2. When using the device, do not block the ventilation holes of the power supply.
3. It is prohibited to place the power supply and the repeller itself near heating devices: batteries, stoves, etc.
4. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the device yourself.
5. Do not bring the device closer to your ears and eyes (minimum permissible distance is 50 cm).
6. If moisture gets into the device or power supply, do not use the device.
7. It is not allowed to wipe the repeller and its parts with gasoline or solvents.
8. The device must only be used for its intended purpose.

On a note. If the device was in the cold, then before connecting it to the network, you should keep it indoors for at least 2 hours.

Efficiency and advantages of Electrokot

The results of numerous experiments have shown that rodents under the influence of ultrasound experience severe stress, which forces them to leave their inhabited territory. When using Electrocat, mice and rats completely leave the area within four weeks, and the first results are visible after ten days.

Acoustic signals of different frequencies have a negative impact on rodents: animals are seized with panic and anxiety, which forces them to quickly leave their inhabited territory

On a note. Newborn rodents have no hearing for 14 days. During this period, ultrasound will not affect them.

If you thought that using the Electrocat only increased the number of rats and mice, then don’t worry. At first, rodents lose their vigilance due to the influence of stress on them, so they do not hide from people. Over time, all rats and mice will leave your home. To prevent the return of old rodents and the appearance of new ones, you should turn on the repeller weekly for two to three days.

The advantages of this device are that:

• the device can be used in residential areas, as it is absolutely harmless to people and pets;
• The electric cat does not interfere with the operation of televisions, radios and fire alarms;
• constant change of sound signals prevents rodents from becoming accustomed to the radiation;
• The device has a silent operation mode.

About Chiston

I used Chiston at home, but the mice didn’t go away, so I took it to the dacha. I put it in the cellar in the barn, I didn’t even turn it on, I keep pots of flowers there that can die from the cold in winter. I also stored carrots there for some time until November, since I couldn’t immediately take them home. In general, I arrived in November and discovered that rodents had devoured the carrots. Which ones I didn’t understand. Of course I was upset, the creatures devoured about half of the carrot harvest.

I stretched the extension cord to the cellar and turned on the Chiston, and went into the house to drink tea. Ten minutes later I looked out the window and went nuts; rats began to run out of the barn from all sides and run towards the house. In general, the device works, although I still don’t understand why it didn’t work on mice. Vladislav Nikolaevich

Store comment:

Vladislav Nikolaevich, why the device did not work on mice at home needs to be figured out. To do this, you need to know exactly where the mice were, how the device was installed, and how long it worked. The effect on rats clearly shows that Chiston is effective against rodents. To prevent rats from running into neighboring buildings, you need to install another device in the country house. Leave both devices turned on for a while, for 2-3 weeks, until the rats are completely gone. When the rats leave, turn off the appliances and plug up all the holes through which the rats got into the basement and house.

Review of the Taiwanese Ultimate 5 in 1 repeller

“I don’t recommend taking Russian ones... I had experience with Tornado and Grad - a lot of noise, little benefit. It’s like the Russian auto industry)) I won’t even argue for anything for the Chinese, everything is clear here. I advise you to use the Taiwanese Ultimate 5 in 1. For example, this spring I managed to buy a repeller in the 31st Century, I installed it in the cellar at the dacha. Within a week, all the gnawing filth came out as if it had never happened.”

Alexander J.

About Tornado 400

I tried to put the repeller in the closet, and on the first floor of the house, they left for three weeks until they arrived. The first week the device didn’t help, so I plugged up the holes in the walls and left immediately. Viktor Nikolaevich

I live in a country house and rats appeared in the kitchen, I installed two appliances in the apartment, one in the kitchen, the other in the hallway, and the other in the garage. After a month and a half they left and haven’t come back yet. Alexander. Ramensky district

Review:

Mila, Moscow. In our family it is not customary to kill living beings. Therefore, we were looking for different options on how to get rid of rats in the basement. The basement is not in the house, but near it. But we were afraid that if we didn’t do anything, they would break into the house. My husband bought the Ecosniper repeller - it was the first thing he liked based on the description on the Internet. We still have a cat and two parrots at home, and I was very afraid that the ultrasound would somehow affect them too. But I didn’t notice from the behavior of our pets that the operation of the device had any negative effect on them. I also heard that you need to buy 2-3 of these repellers to have an effect. Our basement is small, located under the summer kitchen, so one copy was enough. The device is convenient to use; you just plug it in and that’s it. The husband decided not to turn it on in the summer kitchen itself, but to lower it along the cord directly to the basement, although the range of influence of the device is large. Overall, we really enjoyed using this device. There is no need to poison or kill anyone! The neighbor over there poisons the rats with poison and nothing comes of it, but we managed it in literally two weeks - and now we live completely without pests! This turned out to be such a wonderful repeller.

Review:

After rats began to appear in the yard, I realized that they could get into the house. I started looking for options on how to get them out. I simply don’t want to bother with poisons, I don’t trust all sorts of spray guns at all, so I decided on an ultrasonic repeller. I found a good advertisement for “Grad” on the Internet and bought it directly through the site. What to say?! It worked! And how! Now I even turn it on as soon as I hear my neighbor complaining about rats.

About Typhoon LS-800

Thank you! It helped! In our house, a mouse constantly crawled out from under the bathtub at night and ran around so hard that it was impossible to sleep! Now everything is fine! Thank you! Anna. Moscow

About Tornado 800

We purchased 10 pieces of Tornado OG 08-800 for a meat processing plant. The rats were all over the plant, they placed equipment in the refrigeration rooms and a couple were placed in the finished goods warehouse. 20 days passed and the mice were gone. We have been using it for a year now, we are satisfied with the products, these devices are much better than poison for mice. Thank you for your help. Ruslan. Meat processing plant in Odintsovo.

I bought a Tornado 800 repeller from you, placed 2 of them in a basement with a total area of ​​400 square meters, the rodents were gone in about four weeks, it’s strange that before this the poisons didn’t help, I used to be skeptical about your devices, now I recommend them to my friends.

Types of repeller Electrocat

Electrokot ultrasonic repellers are available in two versions: Classic and Turbo. Both of them have the technical indicators described earlier.

Models of the Electrokot device differ in appearance and in some characteristics

There are few differences between the models:

1. Appearance.
2. Ultrasonic coverage area.
3. Acoustic pressure.

Classic Electric cat

The appearance of the classic device is quite simple. The device has a dark plastic case; on the front panel there is a button to turn on/off the daytime mode and a light indicator that transmits light flashes. The device starts working immediately after being plugged into the mains.

The classic Electric cat has a heat coverage of 200 sq.m.

The classic Electric cat spreads its effect over an area of ​​200 square meters. The acoustic pressure is 110 decibels. The price of the device is approximately 1150 rubles.

Electrokot Turbo

The turbo device also has a black plastic case. The front panel differs from the classic model: there are four light indicators and a mode switch button. When the “Night” mode is turned on, the red LED lights up, the “Day” mode works when the green indicator is on. The other two bulbs enhance the effect of ultrasonic waves with LED flashes.

The Electrokot Turbo model covers an area of ​​400 sq.m.

Electric Kot Turbo has a large coverage area - 400 square meters, acoustic pressure - 120 decibels. The price of the device starts from 1350 rubles.

Which option to choose

To choose the right type of Electric Cat, you need to answer one question: what room or area do you plan to protect from rodents? If this is an apartment or a small warehouse, then the power of the Classic Electric Cat is quite enough. Larger barns or factory premises will be better protected by the Turbo model, as it has a larger coverage area.

In a room without partitions or walls, with an area of ​​no more than 400 sq.m. one Electrokot Turbo device will be enough

But do not forget that walls and partitions stop the influence of ultrasound, which means that even in a small area separated by walls, it is necessary to install several devices in different rooms.
