Ultrasonic Solar Repellent ACTO : The Solution Against Dogs, Cats and Foxes

Effectively Protect Your Garden from Unwanted Animals

Are you tired of seeing your vegetable garden ransacked, your flower beds scraped or the droppings soiling your lawn? Nuisances caused by stray dogs, neighborhood cats, foxes or martens can quickly turn your outdoor space into a source of hassle. The ACTO solar ultrasonic repellent is the solution you've been waiting for to regain control of your property. Designed for outdoor use, this self-contained, eco-friendly device uses targeted technology to keep four-legged visitors away without harming them, effectively protecting an area of up to 75 sqm.

Targeted and Scalable Ultrasound Technology

The operation of this repellent is based on a simple and formidable technological duo: an infrared motion detector coupled with a powerful ultrasound emitter. As soon as an animal enters its detection range, which covers an angle of 120° over a distance of 8 meters, the device is triggered and emits high-frequency sound waves. One of the major advantages of this box is its ability to modulate frequencies. Thanks to its adjustment knob, you can choose the frequency that best suits the animal you specifically want to repel:

• 14 kHz : Ideal for larger pets like dogs and foxes (106 dB sound volume).

• 19 kHz : Particularly effective against cats and martens (102 dB sound volume).

• 24 kHz : A frequency designed to disturb smaller mammals such as rabbits (82 dB sound volume). This selectivity allows you to tailor the device's response to your exact need.

Simple Installation and Autonomy thanks to Solar Energy

Forget about complex connections and extra electricity bills. The ACTO repellent is fully self-contained thanks to its built-in solar panel. This captures energy during the day to recharge the two AA Ni-MH batteries (included), ensuring continuous operation, even on overcast days or at night. Its installation is very simple: simply assemble it and plant its stake in loose soil, preferably in an open area for optimal sun exposure. A height of 30 cm from the ground is recommended for perfect detection. Once in place, a simple button allows you to turn it on and select the desired frequency. Its rugged design and IP54 certification ensure excellent resistance to rain and weather.

Instructions for Use and Precautions for Use

To ensure maximum effectiveness and worry-free use, we recommend that you follow a few basic principles. The device must be used exclusively within your private property. To preserve good neighbourly relations and respect public space, avoid installing it on the edge of the land, directly facing the street or neighbouring property. Note that on some low frequencies, the sound may be slightly audible to the human ear. Finally, as with any device of this type, it is imperative to keep it out of the reach of children. Responsible use is the key to regaining peace of mind.
