One of the first problems you might encounter with an ultrasonic

mouse repeller is where to place it. Any object in front of the
repeller will prevent ultrasonic waves from reaching passing
rodents. Another problem is figuring out the rodents’ entrances
and exits.

You may have the perfect spot to plug in the ultrasonic repeller,
but if that isn’t where the rodents are traveling, the repeller will be
completely ineffective. You might not be able to tell how many of
the ultrasonic repellers you need for your area. And if your rodent
problem is outdoors, you won’t be able to use an ultrasonic repeller
to get rid of the rodents.

You will most likely need several units to place all over your home.
The waves cannot go through walls or furniture. In order to keep
the waves moving, placing several in the area is the
recommendation; however this can get very expensive.

 1. an ultrasound irritate family pets?
Answer: Family pets like dogs and cats will not get disturbed by this frequency. This ultrasonic
rodent repellent will only affect rodents, rats, mouse, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs and squirrels.
2. Does ultrasound penetrate through walls or other rooms?
Answer: No. Actually, ultrasonic waves behave more like light than sound. You will have to install
separate unit in another room where you have rodent problem.
3. What area / square footage does the ultrasonic wave cover?
Answer: It depends upon on each individual room or space. Since the ultrasound is too fragile,
sound wave may dispel rapidly with distance, and it may have reduced effect on rodents more
than 20 feet from the unit. If the room/ godown is too large with lot of furniture, products or
barriers, you will need to install more than one unit for maximum effectiveness.
4. Does Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent really work? Any research done?
An independent research University "University of Nebraska - Lincoln" had conducted a detailed
research in the year 1984 to assess the efficacies of ultrasonic rodent repellent devices in the
laboratory where no other rodent control was conducted at the study sites other than the
application of ultrasonic devices.Test Report concludes that "Rodents under test could either
leave the buildings or move to alternate non-ultrasonically treated areas." Source: Efficacy
Test Protocols For Evaluation Of Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent Devices - University of Nebraska -
Lincoln (Please click the download button in the University website or download same copy
in PDF format directly here)
5. What will be the power consumption?
Answer: Power consumption will be only 2 watts for 24 hours. So 2 watts x 24 Hrs. multiplied into
31 days = 1488 watts per month / 1000 = 1.5 KWH
6. Will it be controlled from the same day of installation or How long it will take to curb rat
menace after installing?
Answer: It will take minimum 6 -7 days to reduce and stop rodent activity. Within two or three
weeks, or sooner, you should see a reduction in the pest activity (sighting of pests and droppings,
and damage). If not, you may need one or more additional units.
7. What is the durability of the Unit?
Answer: Estimated service life of this unit is 5-6 years.
8. Does it control other pest like cockroaches, ants or insects etc.?
Answer: Some insects can repel to the ultrasonic sound, but we do not assure this unit can also
control other pest problems.
9. Does the ultrasonic rodent repellents chase rats in all places efficiently any exclusions?
Answer: Repellents work efficiently in indoor premises like offices, godowns, server rooms and
any other closed premises with less external noises only. The ultrasound waves will not efficiently
work in the outdoors like garden, patios and any other noisy areas where are the waves gets
dispersed. And also food storage areas like bakery and hotel kitchen areas are prone to food
spillage and heavy infestation of rodents, in this case, rodents need to be flushed out using Glue
pads or Rat traps only.

lectronic Rodent Repellent Features:

 1. Effective against rats, mice and rodents.
2. Totally safe for you and the environment. The ultrasonic sound can be heard only by the pest and
not by human being.
3. Repellent is eco-friendly, as it does not harm other animals. Nor is there any chance of inhalation
of harmful chemicals. The pests are not killed. So there is no mess of removing the dead rats /
mice etc.
4. Very economical – Consumes less than 2 units of electricity per month for our Basic Stand alone
model.
5. Useful any where in the home, office go-downs in food and pharma industries etc.
6. Units plug into standard 220V AC outlets.
7. Compact size – innovative tabletop design available.
8. Will not affect pets like cats, dogs, fish or birds.

Repeller Usage:

 Plug the unit into a 220V AC Mains outlet.

 The Red LED light will start glowing to indicate that the unit is working.
 Repellent is effective only in the room it is placed.
 Make sure that there are no objects or other obstructions in front of the repellent.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Ultrasound work?
A: Ultrasound is a frequency of sound too high to be heard by humans. Ultrasound is reflected by hard
surfaces and absorbed by soft surfaces. The Victor® PestChaser® sweeps a frequency of 32-62 kHz.
Rodents find this sound irritating and will avoid it if possible. The non-repetitive frequency levels cause
additional discomfort and do not allow the rodent to become habituated to the sound.

For additional effectiveness, the loudest spike in sound replicates the sound of a dominant male rodent.
Rodents are very territorial and will constantly fight to establish dominance. The sound of a dominant
rodent will discourage others from inhabiting a territory.

It is important to note that ultrasonic frequencies do not travel between walls. So for the most effective
rodent control, ultrasonic units need to be placed in multiple rooms.

Q: How does Ultrasound affect rodents?

A: Ultrasound can repel rodents by subjecting them to intense auditory stress. This method is a classic
animal behavior modification technique.
Unlike traps and poisons, ultrasound does not kill rodents. The PestChaser® has the ability to provide
long-term reductions in rodent populations by creating a "rodent-unfriendly" environment that discourages
rodent infestations.

Q: What are the most common mistakes people make with repellents?
A: Ultrasound Alone to Control Infestation: The most common repellent mistake is using ultrasound units
alone to control an established infestation. Simply plugging in a PestChaser® will not send rodents
running for the door and out into cold winter temperatures if there is still sufficient food & shelter in your
home or shed. It is important to also incorporate sanitation and exclusion techniques. Additionally, traps
and baits should be used in conjunction with Ultrasonic devices.
Not Enough Units are Used: Ultrasound does not travel through walls so it is important to place 1 in each
room.
Poor Placement: Ultrasound is reflected by hard surfaces and absorbed by soft surfaces. Placement
behind a couch will not allow waves to bounce around freely, causing a hostile sound environment.

Q: Is Ultrasound safe for pets?

A: The PestChaser® sweeps a frequency of 32-62 kHz, well above the range of hearing for humans and
non-rodent pets like cats, dogs, birds, and fish. If you have rodent pets such as a hamster or guinea pig,
move it to a room without a PestChaser® unit.

Q: How much area does a unit cover?

A: The sound generated by each repellent unit can cover an average size room up to 400 sq. ft. While
these high frequencies are called sound, ultrasonic waves act more like light than like sound. Imagining
the speaker is a floodlight; you can visualize how ultrasound travels. It will radiate outward in a cone
shape, throwing "shadows" behind solid objects such as furniture, and casting little "illumination" into
other rooms.
Coverage of multiple rooms requires the use of multiple units.

Q: Where should I place the unit?

A: First, identify a room that has signs of rodent activity. Rodents are nocturnal creatures, which means
they rarely surface during the daytime. Look for the signs of an infestation: chewing or gnaw marks,
droppings, tracks and nests. Next, plug the unit into an outlet which is open to the rest of the room, not
behind furniture where the sound waves may be blocked.
Ultrasound is reflected by hard surfaces and absorbed by soft surfaces. In a room with mostly hard
surfaces, like a kitchen, ultrasound will “bounce” around giving more effective coverage.

The ideal placement would be one that allows the sound waves to cross in front of an entrance way.

Younger people tend to hear higher frequencies that older people, mainly due to loss of
hearing acuity as people get older. But even though your baby is very young, that doesn’t
mean he or she can hear ultrasonic sound – there’s still a limit to a human’s hearing
capacity.
