15 best rodent and insect repellents

The problem with rodents worries many owners of apartments and private houses. These animals not only spoil things, but also spread diseases that are dangerous to human life. Fortunately, today there are a large number of rodent repellents, the principle of which 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 effect on the senses of large and small pests, forcing them to leave the occupied territories. When choosing a repeller, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Power. A parameter that directly affects the range of the device. If we are talking about ultrasonic scarers, then it should be remembered that the acoustic wave is not capable of passing walls, and spreads within a confined space. In turn, the radiation of electromagnetic devices can spread through walls, simultaneously driving rodents out of the voids of the partitions.
• Spread range. Ultrasonic scarers, in comparison with electromagnetic ones, have a larger acoustic wave propagation area, which reaches about 400-1000 square meters. m. In turn, magnetic models are limited to 200 sq. m. m, however, they give a more uniform field that does not deviate from propagation when meeting obstacles. Before making a choice, pay special attention to the environment 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, proceed from these values.
• Power supply type. Mains powered scarers are generally more powerful and have a larger wave coverage. In turn, autonomous devices are more convenient to place in non-electrified rooms, but their efficiency will be lower than that of stationary models.
• Operating frequency, which must 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 have not been met.

Best repellent manufacturers

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

• "Tornado". One of the oldest manufacturers on the Russian market, developing traps for 25 years. It is renowned as a distributor of inexpensive and very effective repellents of various power levels.
• EcoSniper. A young Russian company, which started its work in 2013. It is interesting that in such a modest time frame (only five full years), it managed to break into the top in sales of traps in the country.
• i4Technology. The company that owns the most famous in Russia trade mark of scarers "Grad". Develops a wide range of special traps that are very popular among consumers.
• Weitech. The Belgian company is one of the few foreign representatives that has managed to gain a foothold in the domestic Russian market. It gained popularity due to its commitment to humanism: Weitech traps do not require the involvement of poisons in the process of scaring away rodents - the effectiveness of the work is achieved exclusively through the creation of an ultrasonic barrier.
• SITITEK. A Chinese corporation that has been producing home appliances and electronics for two decades. In 2013, the official sales office of the company was opened in Russia.It is a strong middle peasant of the domestic market in terms of sales of rodent repellents.
• Chiston & Co. Another representative of Russia, who launched production back in 1991. Having started as a supplier for the military-industrial complex, mechanics and electronics, the company gradually moved on to the development of household goods. It is one of the leaders in the segment for the production and sale of rodent repellents.

Best Ultrasonic Rodent Repeller (Rodent Only)

If you have problems with rodents, a more correct solution would be to give preference to repellents designed for this group of pests, namely mice, rats, shrews and others. In addition to the fact that these partings are more effective in coping with the work (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 +

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

The main advantage of "Grad" over its competitors lies in its extremely large range of action: the installation is capable of "cleaning" areas up to 1000 square meters. The working part also does not fail - the repeller supports four modes of operation (silent, maximum, "anti-mosquito" and small insects). Consumers rank as disadvantages dependence on the network, however, if there are terminals, it can be safely connected to a charged battery.

4 "ElectroKot"

The inexpensive and compact device "ElectroKot" does not differ in a large range of action, but it neutralizes such modest indicators with a high efficiency of scaring away small rodents. It is designed for the protection of areas up to 200 square meters, 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, frightening rodents and increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. True, in this case, the presence of people in the same room with the repeller is unacceptable. In the daytime mode, "ElectroKot" is absolutely harmless to humans, but guinea pigs and hamsters should still be removed from the protected area.

3 Typhoon OG. 01

The budgetary ultrasonic mouse repeller "Typhoon" OG.01 will be equally effective both in domestic and industrial conditions. The operating 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 rodent activity in an area of ​​up to 400 square meters. In addition, the repeller has 2 modes of operation - in continuous mode and in pulses, which allows you to achieve the desired effect in a short time.

In positive reviews, buyers talk about low cost, low (only 9 W) electricity consumption and compact size. The device is installed in just two movements. A special hook is provided for the convenience of wall mounting. 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. The weaknesses include the insensitivity of some species of rodents to the operation of the device.

2 Chiston-2 PRO

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

The advantages of the device in the reviews, users refer to the angle of radiation of 360 degrees, operation 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 scarer is perfect for warehouses, hangars and other storage facilities. The only drawbacks are poor build quality.

The choice of a rodent repeller is very often accompanied by disputes about which devices are better: ultrasonic or electromagnetic. To remove the question of the advantages and disadvantages of one type or another once and for all, check out the comprehensive comparison table:

1 Tornado 400

The powerful ultrasonic rat and mouse repeller Tornado 400 is an excellent choice for your home. The device is equipped with one emitter, the power of which is sufficient for operation in an apartment or a small house. To prevent rodents from adapting to the sound of the device, the ultrasound frequency is automatically switched in it. Thus, pests, failing to adapt to such conditions, will leave the territory in most cases. Due to the correctly selected radiation range, the device is harmless to people and does not emit sounds during operation.

Among the strengths of the repeller in reviews, buyers note quiet operation, good build quality and a long range. In addition, the device does not interfere with household appliances, which allows it to be used anywhere. The radiation area is 400 square meters. The device has small dimensions and weighs only 500 grams, which means it does not take up much space. Among the disadvantages of the device are a small frequency adjustment range (from 2 to 10 kHz) and the lack of battery power.

The best ultrasonic scarers of rodents, insects, animals

There are situations when pests need to be dealt with in a complex manner, for example, with moles, mice and bedbugs at the same time. In this case, universal ultrasonic scarers will come to the rescue. The program of their work includes such frequency ranges that cause "anxiety" and anxiety in all groups of animals.

5 Smartpest-01

A weak ultrasonic device for household use, developed by the Chinese company YaSmart and not devoid of characteristic advantages. It does not aim at leadership in the segment, due to which it has stable sales and an established segment of consumers. Its range is only 50 square meters - too small for warehouses and private houses, but enough for apartments, garages and basements.

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

4 REXANT 71-0009

Another scarer "at minimum wages", the asset of which is replenished with an important fact of a pleasant appearance. Its working range is 60 square meters, which makes it mainly used in apartments, garages or small basements. Has a frequency regulator of radiation, thanks to which you can deprive rodents and insects of the possibility of addiction. The key factor from the standpoint of advantages is the absolute harmlessness of the waves emitted by the device for humans and pets (up to hamsters and guinea pigs).

Consumers call the main disadvantage of REXANT 71-0009 the rare spontaneous malfunctions associated with either a battery charger or internal electromechanical defects. The problem is solved simply by periodically monitoring the model, but still causes some negative.

3 Mongoose SD-042

An inexpensive ultrasonic repeller that combines three fundamentally different types of emitted waves. When connected to a household network, it begins to emit low ultrasonic impulses of a general irritating effect, as well as (alternately or simultaneously) special waves that have a destructive effect on the auditory and nervous system of pests. The combination of these influences, in fact, is the main feature of the "Mongoose" SD-042 - an unfavorable acoustic background makes rats and mice retreat, looking for a new home.

The disadvantage of the device, users call the small area of ​​action - in the best case, a room of up to 100 square meters will be covered by waves. Despite this, "Mongoose" SD-042 remains one of the most demanded scarers, for which it receives a well-deserved place in the list of the best.

2 Weitech WK-0600

To combat a large number of varieties of pests, the Weitech WK-0600 repeller is suitable - a device with the best functionality in our review. This model has a robust metal body that is not accessible to rodents. The device operates in 9 different modes, each designed for its own class of animals, from spiders and cockroaches to moles. Among other advantages, the device has 2 emitters, which significantly increases its efficiency. Thanks to the sound pressure level of 116 dB, the device works efficiently on an area of ​​up to 350 square meters.
The strengths of the model in the reviews, buyers include a large number of settings, 3 volume modes and high efficiency. When the device is used for 72 hours, a significant decrease in the number of pests will be noticed, and it will take about 2 weeks for its complete disappearance. Disadvantages - slightly overpriced and low operating temperature range.

1 EcoSniper LS-927M

The universal ultrasonic repeller EcoSniper LS-927M will be an excellent solution to the problem of fighting all types of pests. The device is capable of serving up to 540 square meters of area, that is, it is suitable for vegetable stores, warehouses and small summer cottages. With a low power consumption - only 1.5 W, the repeller generates a signal with a sound pressure of 135 dB, which makes the pests leave the territory much faster. On average, the cycle takes 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 the reviews, users emphasize the low cost, large signal output angle and good build quality. The repeller is completely safe for people, since the range of its radiation (from 25 kHz to 65 kHz) cannot be heard by the human ear. The mode of operation of the device, in which the signal is formed not linearly, but with a periodic change in amplitude, is the most effective and allows you to achieve the desired result in a short period of time. Among the disadvantages is the lack of autonomous power supply and low efficiency in rooms with a large number of obstacles.

The best electromagnetic rodent repellents

Unlike ultrasonic scarers, the action of electromagnetic devices is based on the creation of a single magnetic field of a special kind. It is generated by the home electrical network and spreads throughout the protected area in pulses at certain time intervals. The main advantage of such devices is the virtual 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 ​​\ u200b \ u200baction - the radiation of the most powerful devices is capable of covering only up to 200 square meters.

5 Digital

Chinese public sector employee, claiming the nomination for the best price-performance ratio. Digital is powered by a 220 V household network and is positioned as a universal model for fighting flying insects (mosquitoes, mosquitoes), beetles, mice and rats. Radiation is absolutely safe for humans and pets, with the exception of small decorative rodents (it is better to remove them away from the source). Thanks to the built-in converter, the device responds adequately to changes in the frequency of the supply network from 50 to 60 Hz, which also adds weight to it.

Consumers call the main disadvantage of Digital its low power and, accordingly, a small range of no 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 large warehouses, such characteristics are clearly not enough.

4 EMR-21

A high-quality (despite its appearance) rodent repeller, equipped with a light indicator to signal its operability in dark rooms. Breaks down all the stereotypes that the maximum coverage area cannot exceed 200 square meters - here this figure is 30 units higher. An excellent result, especially due to the compact size. The persistent radiation has a penetrating ability, thanks to which it drives out rodents and other pests even from the voids in the walls.

As practice shows, massive effluxes of rats and mice begin only two weeks after the inclusion of EMR-21. As in the case of the Yastreb-200, its weakness is obsolescence, which sooner or later will take the device out of circulation.

3 Riddex Plus

One of the most demanded devices for scaring off rodents, the main "trick" of which is the balance of quality and performance. The manufacturers took a very responsible approach to 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 falls or high humidity (up to 90%). The threshold of the maximum withstand temperature (+45 degrees Celsius) has slightly decreased, while the lower one (-30 degrees) remains unchanged. The range of propagation of magnetic impulses is 200 square meters - the standard optimum for electromagnetic repellents.

Judging by user reviews, Riddex Plus has only one drawback: it is not capable of fighting insects. Otherwise, its work does not cause any complaints: safe, inexpensive, effective.

2 Pest Reject

Combined rodent and insect repeller, combining the double action of electromagnetic and ultrasonic waves. Its coverage area is limited to a range of 200 square meters - this is enough to ensure the safety of houses, apartments, as well as products in the warehouse. It operates exclusively from a household power supply, continuously sending an ultrasonic signal and maintaining intervals between electromagnetic pulses.

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

1 "Hawk-200"

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

The 12-year voyage of the Yastreb-200 within the scarer segment has not passed without a trace - the device is slowly but surely moving towards the stage of obsolescence. Actually, this is the only serious criticism of the model - according to steel criteria, it is worthy of being one of the best devices for scaring away rodents.
