Hi all! Our today's issue will be of interest to owners of country houses, cottages, summer cottages, as well as owners of farms who are fighting a variety of rodents.
Now on the domestic market there are many devices for repelling rodents, the principle of operation of which is based on the use of ultrasound. It is worth noting that many people are distrustful of such devices, preferring classic traps and various baits. Typically, such distrust is associated with negative experiences using cheap Chinese-made repellers. In fact, a high-quality model from a trusted manufacturer can reliably protect you from rodents at minimal cost. To save you the hassle of choosing, we've selected the seven best ultrasonic rodent repellers you can buy in 2022.
Chiston 2
- Dimensions – 70x85x95 mm.
- Weight – 70 g.
- Radius of action – 200 m2.
- The range of emitted frequencies is 20-70 kHz.
- Operating temperature range – from -25 to +35 ºС.
Let's start the review with Chiston 2 - a powerful and effective means for repelling rats, mice and other rodents. The model can be used in domestic premises, warehouses, cottages and granaries. Compared to classical means of pest control, the device acts quite humanely. The device does not kill, but only repels rodents, which relieves the owner of the device from the problems associated with the disposal of dead carcasses.
The operation of the device is based on the generation of ultrasonic pulses that cause a stress reaction in rodents - they strive to leave the territory as soon as possible. With sufficiently long-term exposure, vital functions are disrupted, which leads to a sharp reduction in the rodent population in the surrounding area. The frequency of ultrasonic radiation is constantly changing, making it impossible for rats, mice and other rodents to adapt to the device.
Before use, the device must be connected to a household AC network with a voltage of 220V. At the same time, the level of energy consumption is comparable to an energy-saving light bulb - only 15 W. Unlike most similar devices, the model is capable of operating in a wide temperature range - from -25 to +35 ºС. This property allows the repeller to be used in winter in unheated rooms. It is worth noting that the device is not capable of causing interference and malfunctions in the operation of radio systems, television receivers and fire alarms, as well as causing harm to human health
Grad A-1000 PRO
- Dimensions – 109x65x25 mm.
- Weight – 95 g.
- Radius of action – 1000 m2.
- The range of emitted frequencies is 4-72 kHz.
- Operating temperature range – from -40 to +85 ºС.
Grad A-1000 PRO is a new generation ultrasonic repeller that effectively fights rodents and insects. The model’s impact area reaches 1000 m2, which makes the device one of the most powerful devices on the domestic market. The built-in radiation power regulator allows you to set the required signal strength, depending on the area of the room. This is a unique domestic development that has no analogues throughout the world.
Users can select the optimal operating mode, depending on the characteristics of the object. For living spaces, it is recommended to choose silent mode - the device will emit ultrasonic waves that are not perceived by humans. To increase the effect, you can use special light flashes that will turn on according to a given algorithm. A unique, non-repeating ultrasound sequence eliminates the possibility of pests becoming accustomed to the action of the repeller.
Ultrasonic pulses affect the nervous system of pests, as a result of which they leave their habitats, moving away from the sound source to a safe distance - more than 100 meters. The device can be used in granaries, vegetable stores, industrial and commercial premises, shops, cafes, restaurants, warehouses, as well as in everyday life - at the dacha, in a country house, cellar or barn. Unlike analogues, the device is capable of operating in a wide temperature range – from -40 to +85 ºС.
Types of repellers and principle of operation
There are such types of repellers as:
- Ultrasonic. It is a device that affects the nervous system of small parasites through ultrasonic short high-frequency signals, which creates uncomfortable conditions for the animals, as a result of which they want to quickly escape from the given territory. To prevent mice and rats from adapting to the device, the pulse frequency can vary from 20 to 70 kHz. Safe for humans.
- Electromagnetic. They resemble sound ones, however, in this case the effect is exerted by the magnetic field of the coil. Frequent impulses irritate the sensitive organs of touch in mice and create uncomfortable living conditions. An interesting fact is that in the first hours of operation of the device, there is a sharp increase in the number of rodents. This is due to the fact that the waves of the device spread along the walls, between concrete floors, which forces the rats to leave their holes, shelters, and actively look for a way out.
- Mixed. They are a cross between the two options listed above. At a given frequency, the device replaces sound pulses with magnetic ones, thereby tormenting sensitive animals. Both devices also have an effect on domestic animals - cats, dogs, parrots, ferrets.
Tornado 800
- Dimensions – 90x95x130 mm.
- Weight – 500 g.
- Radius of action – 800 m2.
- The range of emitted frequencies is 18-70 kHz.
- Operating temperature range – from -40 to +80 ºС.
Tornado 800 is a professional rodent repeller that can be used in warehouses, retail facilities and livestock farms. The range of the model reaches 800 m2. Thus, one device is enough to control rodents even in a large facility.
A distinctive feature of the device is a unique sound pattern that changes chaotically. At the same time, the ultrasound frequency is constantly in the zone of the pain threshold of rodents. This feature eliminates the possibility of pests becoming accustomed to an external stimulus. The effectiveness of the repeller can be assessed within a week after the start of use. As practice shows, after a month the pest completely disappears from the site.
The durable metal case is resistant to mechanical damage. The model does not require maintenance or adjustment of operating parameters. To get started, just connect the device to a household AC power supply. Thanks to its compact size, the device can be easily placed in any convenient place - it does not have a negative impact on the operation of other radio-electronic devices.

Features of device operation
For the device to work truly effectively, it is important to use it correctly. Consider the following recommendations:
You cannot use ultrasonic mouse repellers and devices designed to attract them at the same time. This combination of opposing goals will lead to undesirable consequences. Repelling will lead to the fact that rodents will avoid traps, and luring will lead to the fact that they will still run into the enclosed room. As a result, you will not achieve an effective result.- Please note that the effect of ultrasound is limited. It does not spread through walls. “Therefore, the range of the device is limited by the room,” writes the portal Ivd.ru. Therefore, carefully consider the choice of the room in which the device will be installed if you are purchasing only one device. This room should be the place where most of the rats and mice that enter your home visit. Using devices in a nearby, less-trafficked room is not very effective or efficient. But there is another way of placement - you can purchase repellers for different rooms and install them in each. You also cannot expect that by installing the device in a separate building, you will get effective results from its operation in a nearby house.
If you live or are simply outside the city, then the most suitable place to place the repeller would be the basement.
- Take into account the characteristics of ultrasound propagation in the room. If there is not too much upholstered furniture or none at all, then there will be fewer problems: ultrasound will be reflected from the walls and, as a result, spread throughout the room. In the case of upholstered furniture, ultrasound is absorbed to a greater extent, and the effect of the device is minimal. Therefore, place indoors those objects that can lead to an infestation of rodents, precisely in the room where the conditions allow the repeller to work.
Keep in mind the following: placed objects may interfere with the repeller's operation by absorbing sound. Therefore, it is advisable to place several repellers in such a room. The author of the article tried to use one repeller in a room with shelving, but the range was not always enough. Therefore, it was necessary to place several such devices at once.
- Many summer residents have rooms in their homes without electricity. For such conditions in winter, they tried to purchase a special type of repeller: battery-powered. We strongly do not recommend taking such a step, since your batteries will simply freeze. In winter, outside the city, if you do not have electricity, try a car repeller: it can serve you for a long time.
- The repeller should only work when it is really necessary. Its operating principle is as follows: rodents that have chosen a particular room encounter the effect of ultrasound in it and begin to “associate” this room with such a stimulus. As a result, they begin to simply avoid him. When does this rule apply? Only if rats and mice have “alternative” places where they want to run. If there is no choice, then they learn to visit this room despite the presence of ultrasound. This can happen if the ultrasound is always on: if it works only for a while, then the rodents are afraid to encounter it again, and if it is constantly on, then they learn to ignore it.
