15 best rodent and insect repellers

The problem with rodents worries many apartment owners and private houses. These animals not only spoil things, but also spread diseases that are dangerous to human life. Fortunately, today a large number of rodent repellents have appeared,

The principle of operation is based on the emission of electromagnetic or ultrasonic waves. The device emits a wave of a certain frequency and amplitude, which has a negative impact on the senses of large and small pests, forcing them to leave the occupied territories. When choosing a repeller should pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Power. Parameter that directly affects the range of the device. If we are talking about ultrasonic repellers, it should be remembered that the acoustic wave is not able to pass through the wall, and spreads within a limited space. In turn, the radiation of electromagnetic devices is able to propagate through the walls, simultaneously expelling rodents from the voids of the partitions.
• Spread range. Ultrasonic repellents, compared with electromagnetic, have a greater area of ​​acoustic wave propagation, which reaches about 400-1000 square meters. m. In turn, magnetic models are limited to 200 square meters. m, however, give a more uniform field, which does not deviate from the spread at a meeting with obstacles. Before you make a choice, pay special attention to the situation in the "cleaned" room.
• Sound pressure The higher this parameter, the more effectively the repeller works. The optimal pressure indicator varies in the range of 110-120 dB - when choosing a device, push off from these values.
• Type of power supply. Devices for scaring, working from the mains, as a rule, is characterized by high power and a larger area of ​​wave coverage. In turn, autonomous devices are more convenient to be placed in non-electrified rooms, but their efficiency will be lower than that of stationary models.
• Operating frequency, which should be strictly above 20 kHz. To determine how accurately the repeller reproduces this parameter, it is necessary to unscrew the frequency regulator to a minimum and listen - if the device emits a squeak, it means that the technological requirements are not met.

Best Scarer Manufacturers

Before a detailed review of the list of the best worth mentioning the leading companies in this market segment.

• "Tornado". One of the oldest manufacturers in the Russian market, engaged in the development of traps for over 25 years.It enjoys the reputation of distributing inexpensive and very effective repellents of various power levels.
• EcoSniper. A young Russian company, which began operations in 2013. It is interesting because for such a modest time frame (only five full years) I managed to get into the top of sales traps in the country.
• i4Technology. The firm, which owns the most famous in Russia trademark of repellers "Grad". It is engaged in the development of a wide range of special traps that are very popular among consumers.
• Weitech. The Belgian company is one of the few representatives of foreign countries who managed to gain a foothold in the domestic Russian market. It has gained popularity due to its commitment to humanism: Weitech traps do not require the involvement of poisons in the process of scaring off rodents - work efficiency is achieved solely by creating an ultrasonic barrier.
• Sititk. Chinese corporation engaged in the production of household appliances and electronics for two decades. In 2013, the opening of the official trade representation of the company in Russia. It is a strong middle peasant of the domestic market in terms of sales of rodent repellers.
• Chiston & Co. Another representative of Russia, who started production in the distant 1991. Starting work as suppliers of the military-industrial complex, mechanics and electronics, the company gradually moved to the development of household goods. It is one of the leaders in the rodent repeller production and sales segment.

The best ultrasonic rodent repeller (rodents only)

If there are problems with rodents, a better solution would be to give preference to scarers designed for this group of pests, namely mice, rats, shrews, and others. Besides the fact that these partings cope with the work more effectively (they are tuned to certain radiation ranges), other animals that may not be pests do not fall under the radius of their damage.

5 Grad A-1000 PRO +

The legendary device, the versatility of which many times exceeds the cost of the purchase. Hail A-1000 PRO + can be used as a rodent repeller, but it can also drive away much smaller animals (crawling insects, mosquitoes, etc.). It functions well at low and high temperatures (-35 - +75 degrees Celsius), due to which it can be used in premises of any purpose and type: from residential buildings to warehouses, garages and basements.

The main advantage of the “Grad” over its competitors lies in an exceptionally large radius of action: the installation is capable of “cleaning out” territories of up to 1000 square meters. The working part also fails - the repeller supports four modes of operation (silent, maximum, anti-mosquito and small insects). Consumers consider network dependence a disadvantage; however, if there are terminals, you can safely connect it to a charged battery.

4 "ElectroCot"

Inexpensive and compact device "ElectroCot" does not have a large radius of action, but eliminates such modest indicators of high efficiency scaring small rodents. It is sharpened for the protection of areas up to 200 square meters, and both from the outlet and autonomously, which is very good for "deaf" warehouses and non-electrified premises.

The device is equipped with two modes of operation: day and night. In the night mode, the standard emission of ultrasonic waves is accompanied by a strong and powerful signal that intimidates rodents and increases the efficiency of exposure. However, in this case, finding people in the same room with a repeller is unacceptable. In the daytime mode, ElectroCot is absolutely harmless to humans, but it’s still worth removing guinea pigs and hamsters from the protected area.

3 Typhoon OG.01

The budget ultrasonic repeller of the Typhoon OG.01 mice will be equally effective in both domestic and industrial conditions. The working temperature range varies from -15 to +45 degrees, so that the device can function almost anywhere. A sound pressure level of 100 dB allows the device to suppress the activity of rodents in an area of ​​up to 400 square meters. In addition, the repeller has 2 modes of operation - in continuous mode and pulses, which allows to achieve the desired effect in a short time.

In positive reviews, buyers say about low cost, low (only 9 W) consumption of electricity and compact size. The device is installed in just two movements. For convenience of installation on a wall the special hook is provided. The special design of the emitter generates a signal in such a way that even after several reflections from the walls it retains its power, creating an ultrasonic curtain. Weaknesses include the insensitivity of some species of rodents to the operation of the device.

2 Chiston-2 PRO

Chiston-2 PRO missile rodent repeller is a powerful device for suppressing the activity of mice and rats in the area of ​​500 square meters (the best indicator among competitors). Unlike many other devices, it implements the function of partial radiation of wave batches, which is much more effective than a stable level of exposure. The device emits a signal in the range from 20 kHz to 70 kHz, which is harmless to humans and domestic animals (except ornamental rats, hamsters and guinea pigs).

The advantages of the device in a review, users attribute the radiation angle of 360 degrees, the work from the network and high reliability. The model is not the smallest and weighs 730 grams, but it is capable of emitting a wave in all directions, which greatly facilitates the choice of the installation location of the device. The repeller is perfect for warehouses, hangars and other storage facilities. The disadvantages include only poor build quality.

1 Tornado 400

Powerful ultrasonic repeller rats and mice Tornado 400 - a great choice for the home. The device is equipped with a single radiator, whose power is enough to work in an apartment or a small house. To prevent rodents from adapting to the sound of the device, it automatically switches the frequency of the ultrasound.Thus, the pests, failing to adapt to such conditions, will in most cases leave the territory. Due to the correctly selected range of radiation, the device is harmless to people and does not emit sounds during operation.

Among the strengths of the repeller in the reviews, buyers point out quiet operation, good build quality and a large radius of action. In addition, the device does not create interference for household appliances, which allows it to operate everywhere. The radiation area is 400 square meters. The device has a small size and weighs only 500 grams, and therefore does not take up much space. Among the drawbacks of the device is a small frequency adjustment range (from 2 to 10 kHz) and the lack of battery power.

The best ultrasonic repeller rodents, insects, animals

There are situations when you need to fight pests comprehensively, for example, with moles, mice and bedbugs at the same time. In this case, universal ultrasonic repellers will come to the rescue. In the program of their work, these are frequency ranges that cause “anxiety” and anxiety in all groups of animals.

5 Smartpest-01

The weak ultrasonic device for domestic use, developed by the Chinese company YaSmart and not without characteristic pluses. It does not threaten leadership in the segment, due to which it has a stable sales and well-established consumer segment. Its range is only 50 square meters - too little for warehouses and private houses, but enough for apartments, garages and basements.

As the main advantages in Smartpest-01, users note the silent operation due to the lack of blade and moving parts, as well as low energy consumption. Compared with the overwhelming majority of competitors, the peak power of 0.5 W looks ridiculous - however, this is exactly what the repeller requires for its work. Good condition for its price, especially given the durability of use.

4 REXANT 71-0009

Another repeller "on the minimum salary", the asset of which is replenished by the important fact of a pleasant appearance. Its working range is 60 square meters, which causes its use mainly in apartments, garages or small basements. It has a radiation frequency regulator, due to which it is possible to deprive rodents and insects of the possibility of addiction. The key factor in terms of advantages is the absolute harmlessness of the waves emitted by the device for humans and domestic animals (up to hamsters and guinea pigs).

Consumers call the main drawback of REXANT 71-0009 rare spontaneous failures in work, either due to the waste of the charger, or to internal defects of electromechanics. The problem is solved simply by periodically monitoring the operation of the model, but still causes some negativity.

3 "Mongoose" SD-042

Inexpensive ultrasonic repeller, combining three fundamentally different types of emitted waves. When connected to a domestic network, it begins to emit low ultrasonic impulses of general irritating action, as well as (alternately or simultaneously) special waves destructively acting on the auditory and nervous system of pests. The combination of these effects, in fact, is the main chip of the “Mongoose” SD-042 - an unfavorable acoustic background causes the rats and mice to retreat, looking for a new abode.

The disadvantage of the device users call a small area of ​​action - in the best case, the covering of waves will be subjected to premises up to 100 square meters. Despite this, the "Mongoose" SD-042 remains one of the most popular scarers, for which he gets a well-deserved place in the list of the best.

2 Weitech WK-0600

1 EcoSniper LS-927M

The universal ultrasonic repeller EcoSniper LS-927M will be an excellent solution to the problem of combating any types of pests. The device is able to serve up to 540 square meters of area, that is suitable for vegetable stores, storage facilities and small summer cottages. With a small power consumption of only 1.5 W, the repeller produces a signal with a sound pressure of 135 dB, which causes pests to leave the territory much faster. On average, the cycle takes from 3 to 5 weeks. During this time, as a rule, all types of rodents, insects and other animals leave.

Among the advantages of the model in a review, users emphasize low cost, a large angle of signal output and good build quality. The repeller is completely safe for people, since its emission range (from 25 kHz to 65 kHz) is not heard by the human ear. The mode of operation of the device, in which the signal is formed not linear, but with a periodic change in amplitude, is most effective and allows you to achieve the desired result in a short period of time. Among the minuses - the lack of autonomous power and low efficiency in rooms with a large number of barriers.

The best electromagnetic rodent repeller

Unlike ultrasonic repellers, the action of electromagnetic devices is based on creating a single magnetic field of a special kind. It is generated thanks to the home electrical network and is distributed throughout the protected area in pulses at certain time intervals. The main advantage of such devices is the actual absence of interference, since the electromagnetic field, unlike ultrasonic waves, is able to "pass" through the wall. The disadvantage is expressed in a small area of ​​action - the radiation of the most powerful devices can cover up to 200 square meters in total.

5 Digital

Chinese state employee, claiming the nomination for the best price and technical characteristics. Digital is powered by a household network of 220 V and is positioned as a universal model for combating flying insects (mosquitoes, mosquitoes), beetles, mice and rats. The radiation is absolutely safe for humans and domestic animals, with the exception of small decorative rodents (it is better to remove them away from the source). Thanks to the integrated converter, the device responds adequately to a change in the frequency of the mains supply from 50 to 60 Hz, which also adds weight to it.

The main disadvantage of Digital consumers is called low power and, accordingly, a small range of not more than 60-80 square meters. Of course, this allows you to completely protect a small apartment (or garage) from the encroachments of pests, but for private houses or extensive warehouses these characteristics are clearly not enough.

4 EMR-21

High-quality (despite the appearance) rodent repeller, equipped with a light indicator to signal the performance in dark rooms. Breaks all the stereotypes that the maximum coverage area can not exceed 200 square meters - here this figure is 30 units higher. Excellent result, especially in view of the compact size. Resistant radiation has a penetrating ability, thanks to which it expels rodents and other pests even from voids in the walls.

As practice shows, mass outflows of rats and mice begin only two weeks later after turning on the EMR-21. As in the case of the “Hawk-200”, its weakness is obsolescence, which sooner or later will bring the device out of circulation.

3 Riddex plus

One of the most sought-after devices for scaring rodents, the main "trick" of which is the balance of quality and performance. Manufacturers very responsibly approached the issue of protecting the device from negative environmental factors and placed the "stuffing" in a shock-resistant plastic case. It turned out great: Riddex Plus is not afraid of any fall or high humidity (up to 90%). The threshold of maximum sustained temperature (+45 degrees Celsius) with a constant lower (-30 degrees) has slightly decreased. The range of propagation of magnetic pulses is 200 square meters - the standard optimum for electromagnetic repellents.

Judging by the user reviews, Riddex Plus has only one drawback: it is not able to fight insects. Otherwise, his work does not cause any complaints: safe, inexpensive, effective.

2 Pest reject

Combined rodent and insect repeller, combining the dual action of electromagnetic and ultrasonic waves. The zone of its operation is limited to a range of 200 square meters - this is enough to ensure the safety of houses, apartments, and also products in the warehouse. It functions exclusively from the household electrical network, continuously sending an ultrasonic signal and maintaining the intervals between electromagnetic pulses.

According to users, the effectiveness of the Pest Reject becomes visible after two weeks of use - the traces of the presence of rodents (as well as insects) becomes much less. In turn, the full effect of getting rid of pests is achieved within the next month from the start of use. A good rodent repeller that came to the domestic market in the past five years.

1 "Hawk-200"

Despite the fact that the “Hawk-200” has been on the market for more than 12 years, the efficiency of its use remains at the level of the best representatives of the segment. Due to its high power, this device is capable of generating electromagnetic waves to more than 200 combinations, leaving no chance for adaptation to rodents and other pests. It is able to work within a wide temperature range - from -45 to +70 degrees Celsius, which increases its value during the seasons of peak cold or hot heat.

The 12-year-old voyage of the “Hawk-200” inside the segment of scarers did not pass without a trace - the device is slowly but surely moving to the stage of moral obsolescence. Actually, this is the only serious complaint to the model - according to steel criteria, it is worthy of being among the best devices for scaring rodents.
