Control Panel Settings

Power Mode

Constant: Sends continuous ultrasonic sounds or predator calls. Activates for 10 seconds with 1-2 second breaks between cycles.

Motion Detector: Activates only when thermal sensor detects movement.

Select-A-Pest Dial

Dial is divided into 4 sections targeting different pest groups:

Section 1: Deer

Section 2: Raccoons, Squirrels, Cats

Section 3: Opossums, Chipmunks

Section 4: Bats, Mice, Rats

Try multiple settings within your target section. Animals have different hearing ranges, so experimentation improves results.

Predator Sounds

Switch to ON to use pre-recorded mountain lion calls exclusively (disables ultrasonic mode). Adjust volume using the Predator Volume dial.

Creates a "danger zone" that deters large pests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be able to hear it?

The Squirrell Repeller produces both audible and inaudible frequencies. Many people can hear sounds from settings 1 and 2 on the Select-A-Pest dial.

How long before pests are gone?

Some customers see results within a few days. We recommend allowing 2-3 weeks for best results.

What is ultrasonic sound?

Ultrasonic frequencies are higher than the range of human hearing but very irritating to nuisance pests, causing them to flee.

How does the thermal motion sensor work?

The sensor detects movement of heat sources (such as animals) within range.

What does 'clear line of sight' mean?

The Guardian™ must "see" where pests are active. Remove walls, fences, thick shrubs, or other solid barriers that might obstruct the sensor or block sound.
