Pestbye® Long Life Battery Operated Sonic Rat and Mouse
Pestbye® Long Life Battery Operated Sonic Rat and Mouse Repellent – Ultrasonic Rat & Mice Repelle
Where should I install the unit?
We recommend installing the unit either in the kitchen, or alternatively, where you notice the rodent activity.
These units are ideal for use with our plug-in repellers – in areas where there are no power sockets (like lofts/attics, garages etc)

Goid product as i have never come across a battery operated one before, because of lack of sockets this came in handy, whether it works or not i can’t say yet due to not seeing any critters, hopefully its working.
I tried this for a couple of very brave rats which seem to like our patio. I didn’t want to kill them just deter them from being near the house.
First day of using the unit, the rat was actually sat underneath it looking pretty damn chilled! However 4-5 days on, no rats at all.so it seems to have worked a treat. Ypu have to keep the unit in a dry place so we have it under a window sill and it seems to have been very effective so far. I would highly recommend if you want a humane deterrent, and not a kill product or trap. It doesn’t effect the dogs or birds, but the squirrels are pretty unimpressed and dont tend to visit to steal the bird food as frequently, so win win.
We have heard ‘visitors’ in the loft of our large country house for some years now, and have no idea how they get in or out. We have never been able to catch anything with traps, and it seems ‘longtails’ in particular are too smart for humans and don’t fall for traps and suchlike. We didn’t want to use poison as we would rather they didn’t die anywhere in the house that we couldn’t get to! Anyhow, we put several of these in the loft, near to the loft access hatches, and have never heard a peep since.
I was slightly sceptical at first, suspecting the box didn’t actually do anything, but testing with a sound level meter shows there is quite a powerful chirp every eight second or so, at about 68 dB half a metre away, although this is perfectly inaudible to all of the family.
My only disappointment is that these devices use a pair or expensive PP3 batteries rather than AA cells, which are cheaper and last much longer.
