Product Description

The PestBye Advanced Fox Scarer sends out a very loud noise at a frequency that foxes can hear but is too high for most humans to hear. This is annoying and frightening to the foxes but does not affect birds. It is also effective for dogs and cats.

Why the motion sensor?

The Advanced Fox Repeller incorporates a sophisticated PIR (Passive Infra Red) motion sensor which turns the device on when a warm body enters the controlled area. This has an important purpose other than saving battery life: With the motion sensor, the fox learns to associate the noise with its own movement, and is much less likely to stop being afraid of the noise.

What area does it cover?

It covers a 120 degree arc, to a distance of up to 52.5ft (16m), giving a total unobstructed working area of (188 Square Metres).

How quickly will it work?

If the foxes have a habit of feeding and fouling in your garden, it can take 14-28 days to deliver the full deterrent effect. 'Occasional' visitors will usually be stopped within 7 days. Of course, as with all methods involving animal behaviour, we can’t guarantee effectiveness in every situation, however, our own experience and the feedback we get from customers suggests that this device is effective in almost all situations.

If you have a dog, it may affect the dog if it's allowed in the same part of the garden. The sound doesn't travel well through walls and fences, so it won't affect a dog in the house, or a neighbour's dog.

Batteries:

Requires 2 x 9 Volt batteries or optional power supply (not included). Battery life depends on how many times the device is activated, but they typically last 3-4 months assuming 10 activations per day. Batteries aren't supplied as standard.
