Often, owners of private houses and summer cottages are worried about the appearance of one or more snakes on their territory. But there are effective tools - ultrasonic scarers, which really help to get rid of reptiles, unlike other means.
How do snake repellents work?
The ultrasonic snake repeller is an innovative product with a high degree of effectiveness. The principle of operation of such devices is based on the generation of ultrasonic vibration radiation. Such fluctuations are very negatively perceived by reptiles. In fact, the snakes start to panic and leave the place. The frequency of the oscillations generated is constantly changing, and therefore the snakes cannot adapt to its work. Simply put, the device is not addictive to reptiles.
The snake repellers themselves must be located in the ground. In appearance, they are no different from mole repellents. The device usually has an elongated body that buries in the ground. At the top, about 10 cm of the repeller remains. By the way, the emitter is located exactly in the upper part of the repeller. Also in the upper part of the case there is a battery compartment cover, which is very convenient. You can change the batteries without pulling out the unit itself.
Correct use of repellents
Some people don't realize that snake repeller alone may not be enough to achieve maximum effectiveness. The area of action of a standard device is 300 sq. M. It is recommended to select the number of fixtures depending on the size of your site. The scarers should be placed at a distance of at least 3-4 meters from each other.
By the way, if we talk about the location, try to place the devices on the border of the site. There is a possibility that it is there that the "nest" of reptiles is located. But in the winter season, the repeller is definitely not useful to you, because snakes hibernate. There is no sense in wasting battery life, so it is better to pull the repeller out of the ground for this period of time. It is possible to use innovative devices on the territory of a residential building. But naturally you won't have to bury them there.
Types of snake repellents
Perhaps the most important difference between snake repellers from each other can be considered the area of action and the source of power. There are units that operate on 4 type D batteries. These batteries usually last for almost a year, provided that you buy alkaline cells. Installing them in a special compartment is extremely simple. By the way, you don't need to turn on the device. When batteries are inserted, it will start working automatically.
Also considered in demand are scarers, the power source of which is a solar battery. You can save money by not buying conventional batteries.
