Mice, moles or voles have been taking up residency in your garden and you have had enough. You’ve been thinking about ordering an ultrasonic pest repeller. Or, perhaps, it’s on the way and you are counting down the days until you can get rid of your pests.

Here are 4 tips for getting the most out of your ultrasonic pest repeller.

Set Up

When your ultrasonic pest repeller arrives at your house, you’ll want to get started right away but resist the urge to put them in the ground without reading the directions. You should start by pulling out all of the supplies. The container should provide a list of contents as well. Confirm that you have everything you need. If you have a solar version of an ultrasonic pest repeller then often this requires solar charging for a day or two. If your mole repeller is not solar powered, you’ll want to make sure you have the right batteries on hand.

Follow the Directions

You’ll want to read the directions thoroughly. A solar powered mole repeller may require a stronger initial charge prior to placement. If you miss that important piece of instruction, your product may not work to it’s best efficacy. If it’s not solar powered, you’ll need batteries. Pay attention to the suggested upkeep of your ultrasonic pest repeller. Your product may suggest you change the batteries every six weeks. If you don’t replace them in a timely fashion, you may find yourself kicking out the same unwanted guests over and over again.

Location, Location, Location

You’ll want to place your pest repellers no more than 50 feet apart from each other. It is important to note that solar powered repellers need adequate sunlight in order to properly work. Placement is also important. Behind a bush or blocked by a large item such as a wheelbarrow can prevent the sound waves from properly working.

Dig Deep

Making sure you put your pest repeller in the ground properly. If it’s too shallow, it can easily be knocked over. If it’s too deep, it may not work. If your pest repeller is not properly placed in the soil, the sonic waves cannot work to the best of their ability. Without those annoying sound waves, the pests will stick around.

Ultrasonic pest repellers can be effective in getting rid of your unwanted mice, moles, voles and various pests that try to take over your yard. Taking your time to get your equipment set up properly can make a huge difference.
