Solar Motion Animal Deterrent FAQs

Below are answers to common questions regarding ultrasonic motion-activated garden devices. Check out the main guide for overall yard security advice.

Can humans or domestic indoor pets hear ultrasonic repellers?

Humans cannot hear ultrasonic waves, as the frequency emitted is tuned above normal human hearing thresholds. While target wildlife outside will be influenced, domestic indoor pets inside the house are typically unaffected when the device is aimed outward toward garden perimeters.

How wide is the motion sensor detection area?

Units come equipped with a highly sensitive 120-degree motion sensor with 10-40ft range, covering up to 1,600 sq. ft. square feet of open space.

What happens during several consecutive rainy days?

The device features IP-rated waterproof and UV-protected construction to withstand heavy rain. While primarily solar powered, it also includes a USB charging option so you can manually charge it indoors if severe weather persists.

How do you install the repeller in hard ground or walls?

The unit offers dual installation: ground spike or wall mount. You can attach the provided spike and push it directly into soil, or hang the device on a wall or fence where sunlight strikes directly.
