Rodent Car Repeller - WK0508

Rats, mice, squirrels, martens, chipmunks and other destructive rodents often shelter under the hood of vehicles and damage wiring harnesses, cables and other expensive parts. Rodent Car Repeller - WK0508 - Weitech is designed to protect materials against the gnawing of rodents. It prevents damage to the wires and hoses in your car, camper van, lawnmower, tractor, etc.

Rodent Car Damage

• Rodents and other animals might take shelter under the hood of your car.
• Especially during winter and cold days.
• Car engines are usually warm, dry and undisturbed, providing an ideal shelter for rodents' feeding, resting or breeding.
• Some of the components used to manufacture spark plug wires, hoses and turbo hoses are made from corn or potato starch, others from sugar cane; and rodents love them.
• Once in there, rodents can cause considerable damage to the car.
• Engine wires are particularly vulnerable to rodent damage. If rodents chew away the insulation covering the wires, it can cause short circuits, resulting in expensive damage to engine.
• The cost of repairing damage can range from € 100 up to € 3,000 if a full wiring harness needs replacing.

Rodent Car Repeller - Effectiveness

• The Rodent Car Repeller emits ultrasounds and light flashes.
• Ultrasonic
  • The speaker emits high-pitched ultrasounds varying between 25 - 55 KHz to annoy and cause intense auditory stress to rodents.
  • Constantly variable high-intensity ultrasonic pulses (inaudible). The ultrasound frequency varies over time to prevent rodents growing accustomed to it.
• Flash Lights
  • The device also includes LED strobe lights that target their eyesight.
  • These LED strobe lights flash to target rodents' eyesight, making the engine compartment an unbearable environment for rodents to live and nest.
• The ultrasounds and lights create a hostile environment under the bonnet for rodents or pests to live, and force them to move on and escape from your car.
• Its effectiveness has been tested and demonstrated by independent laboratories.
• Easy to install.
• Connects to 12 or 24 volts car battery.
• On/Off Button. The On/Off switch allows you to turn on/off the Rodent Car Repellent when necessary.
• Low power consumption.
• Low-voltage protection.
