13 best mice and rats repeller

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Mice and rats have long been a problem for people. These small rodents not only destroy a significant part of the peasants' harvest, spoil things and buildings, but also spread diseases that are deadly to humans. And if earlier people had to fight with the help of traps or poison, today modern scarers come to the rescue. And even if they do not act instantly, the pests in full force leave uncomfortable housing. Most devices affect the psyche of rodents using ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves. A power source is required to bring the device into working position. Most often, the connection is made to the household power grid, but there are models that can operate from autonomous power sources, for example, a car battery. When choosing a repeller, experts recommend paying attention to several parameters.

Criteria for the selection of rat and mouse repellents

1. Radius of action. One of the most important characteristics of an electronic defender is the range. Ultrasonic models are considered the most powerful; they produce acoustic waves that frighten the pest in an area of ​​up to 1000 square meters. m. But the walls are becoming an insurmountable obstacle to further spread. The range of action of electromagnetic emitters is more modest (up to 200 sq. M), however, due to the branched electrical wiring, they form a uniform magnetic field, in which both rodents and insects feel uncomfortable.
2. Signal frequency. The deterioration in the health status of rodents is directly related to the strength of sound pressure. The optimal interval is 110-130 dB. The weaker the impact, the longer the pests will stay indoors.
3. Power supply. When choosing a scarer for a remote warehouse or basement, it is better to give preference to devices with the possibility of autonomous power supply. Let the signal strength and range decrease slightly, but you don't have to install a gas generator or lay a long electric cable down the street.
4. Safety and comfort. To work in a residential area, a scarer requires quiet and harmless work to humans. Some models, when turned on for a long time, worsen the well-being of residents. You will also have to take care of your pets, since most devices make hamsters and guinea pigs in a restless state.

Our review includes the best rodent and insect repellents. When selecting applicants, the following criteria were taken into account:

1. efficiency of application;
2. radius of action;
3. type of radiation;
4. price;
5. expert opinion;
6. consumer reviews.
