Fixed Ultrasonic Repeller - Mains Powered

Acto Fixed Ultrasonic Repeller - Reference: RUS11 is a major technological step forward in rodent control. This professional equipment, designed by the Acto brand, gives comprehensive protection against invasions of rats, mice, martens, edible dormice and garden dormice over an impressive area of 300 m². Its innovative technology combines variable ultrasound with a deterrent lighting system to ensure optimal effectiveness without resorting to chemicals.

Applications and benefits

This ultrasonic repeller is perfectly suited to private and professional users faced with rodent problems. In the home, it effectively protects lofts, cellars, garages and roof spaces, where pests frequently build their nests. Farm sheds, warehouses and industrial premises also benefit from its extended range of up to 20 metres.

The main advantage lies in its environmentally sound, non-lethal approach. Unlike traditional traps or rodenticides, this solution respects the environment while keeping pets and children safe. Food industry professionals particularly appreciate this method, which complies with hygiene standards.

Built-in technologies and features

The RUS11 incorporates two high-frequency loudspeakers delivering the ultrasound over an angle of 240°, ensuring optimal coverage of the protected space. These ultrasounds emit sinusoidal signals at variable frequencies, preventing rodents from becoming accustomed to them - a frequent phenomenon with fixed-frequency devices.

The system has a "booster with ultrasonic horn effect" calibrated specifically on the frequency that rodents find most disturbing. This function is particularly effective when the device is pointed at the pests' usual entry points.

The 360° scaring flash, fitted with 12 LEDs, reinforces the action of the ultrasound. Thanks to the built-in light sensor, the flashes come on automatically at nightfall and stop at daybreak, maximising night-time effectiveness when rodents are most active.

Fitting and use

Fitting the Acto RUS11 repeller proves simple and quick. The device plugs straight into the mains with the adapter supplied, avoiding the nuisance of changing batteries. Place the emitter at a height of 1 to 2 metres from the floor to get the best delivery of the ultrasound.

For maximum effectiveness, point the device at the routes the rodents use most: openings in partitions, spaces behind household appliances, access to lofts. Avoid obstacles that could block the ultrasound, such as bulky furniture or thick partitions.

Upkeep is limited to dusting periodically the loudspeaker grilles and the casing with a dry cloth. Check regularly that the LEDs work properly and that the wall fixing is secure, where applicable.

Expert advice and optimisation

To get the most out of the RUS11, experts recommend combining several units in large spaces or in buildings with a complex layout. This strategy creates a protective network with no dead zone, particularly effective in warehouses or farm sheds.

Round out your anti-rodent setup with the sealing products available from Multitanks: expanding foams, rodent-proof grilles or specialised sealants to close off the access points for good. This all-round approach ensures lasting protection.

During the autumn and winter season, when rodents move towards buildings, run the device continuously. In spring, intermittent use may be enough to maintain the deterrent effect. Agricultural professionals appreciate this flexibility of use according to the seasonal cycles.

Avoid the common mistake of placing the device in a blind corner or behind obstacles. Ultrasound travels in a straight line and needs a clear field for optimal delivery.
