Pest Control Product FAQ’s

Hello Zoran,

We haven’t had any reports of the Bird Repellent Gel staining rendered surfaces.  Being partially vegetable oil based, the bulk of the Gel will dissipate in time but a black residue can remain.  This can be washed off with water and soap or detergent.

Hi Monica

The device has a light sensor so it will automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn, and rather than emit continuously it emits intermittently and randomly which saves on power. The 9v device doesn’t use much power and has several power options.

1 ) when supplied with a 240 adapter with 2-metre cord or with the optional 10 or 20-metre 9v extension cords the device will use up to 18 watts when operating and 1.5 watts between emissions

2 ) when supplied with a 12v battery jack to operate off a 12v battery. Power consumption is similar to 240 power, and how long it lasts depends on the size of the 12v battery your using, you can add solar panel if using a 12v battery

3 ) if you use 4 x 9v C torch type batteries, the device goes into power-saving mode and will emit less and 0.07 watts to 0.8 watts, which, and will last about 2 weeks. 9v batteries are normally used as a back up in case of power failure when using 240 or if your 12v battery goes flat the 9v batteries will take over.

We have been using the device for many years with great success. When it comes to proof we can only show you customer testimonials, there are several on the website under reviews on the possum deterrent page. The device comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee  

 

Hello Deb

Thanks for your question. The snake repellers would normally be installed along the perimeter of your block to form a barrier to snake entry. If your block was 50 metres long by 20 metres wide you would need a minimum of 4 but 6 would be better. You can also add additional units closer to your house like near any shed or near a clothesline or any entertainment area where children or yourself may gather.

Regards.

Hi Regina, Peter Cundall uses the CEX device.  The CEX has a long history at repelling possums and is the best domestic device to repel bandicoots and wallabies.  However the CEX does make a low-level sound that you can hear so it is better suited to rural living areas where some buffer from neighbours exists.  If you are in a suburban area or if the device would need to be installed close to your bedroom window, we recommend the Possum Deterrent as it is much quieter.  The Possum Deterrent does a good job on Possums but is not as good as the CEX against bandicoots and wallabies.

Hello Julie. The Possum Deterrent has a light sensor that automatically turns the device on at dusk and off at dawn. The device has some effect on Dogs but only if they are close and in front of it. The ultrasonics won’t penetrate walls, windows etc so a dog indoors won’t be affected.

Yes, this product would work. The Bird Repellent Gel is a non-toxic, non-harmful sticky yellow substance that is impervious to rain and can handle temperatures of up to 80 Celsius.  Bird and possums don’t like the taste or subtle smell of it and most of all they don’t like the feel of it on their feet.  The Gel can be used on any surface.  Being sticky it is best to not use it where you may have inadvertent contact with it.  Best applied in either a spiral circle or zigzag lines depending on the severity of your bird problem.

With our device, the frequencies go backwards and forwards through their range in a random manner so no set sound pattern is emitted. Rightly or wrongly my understanding of the Strayban rotating system is it is like a record playing the same sound over and over, you can hear it do the same clicking pattern over and over again.

We have structured our prices so that multiple purchases are competitively priced for the market.

The Bird Gel is sticky so we do not recommend it be applied where people may inadvertently come in contact with it as you would get it on your clothes.
