SUCCESSFUL LONG-TERM
BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Solar YardGard success takes time to build.
Pest habits may take several days or weeks to
break. Follow all suggestions for maximum
efficacy.
"Instant" tests on pets do not replicate natural
conditions and give no indication of the unit's
success with wild or visiting domesticated pests.
How it Works
The Solar Yard Gard Ultrasonic Repeller is easy to use.
Simply install 4 pcs (1.2V/pc) Rechargeable Battery
(4.8V) (included) - or 4 x AA( 1.5V ) Battery (6V) and
then place the unit in your garden, with an unobstructed
view of the area you want to protect. Two adjustable
buttons for distance and frequency target different types
and sizes of pest animals. The built-in motion sensor
detects the pest entering the area and emits a piercing,
high-decibel alarm that startles the pest and frightens it
away. Since the sound is ultrasonic, you and your
neighbors cannot hear it.
Unlike pest deterrents that operate continuously, the
Solar Yard Gard ultrasonic unit waits for the animal to
come into its range before activating, making the
function unpredictable and therefore more effective.
Specifications

deterrent is constructed of durable, weather-resistant
materials, and has been designed to provide many
years of reliable service.

(10 per day = 200 days).
•
Power supply: (included) 4 pcs (1.2V/pc) 2mA with
Rechargeable Non-Crystalline silicon battery
(
4.8 V

Features
Blue LED:
indicates when the unit is activated.
Zinc stake:
includes one stake for versatile mounting
(ground level, approximately 4" above ground).
Left button:
adjusts sensitivity of motion sensor. Turn
clockwise for greater sensitivity. To detect small animals,
turn all the way to the right (furthest clockwise).
Right button:
Ultrasonic frequency control. Clockwise
= higher frequency. The smaller the pest, typically the
higher frequency setting should be selected to target
them.
Animal type/setting:
SMALL ANIMALS: Insects, Rodents, Squirrels etc. -
Highest frequency
MEDIUM-SIZED ANIMALS: Raccoons, Possum, Cats,
Skunks, etc. - Middle range
LARGE ANIMALS: Deer, Feral pigs, Javelina, etc. -
Lowest frequency
To set up the Ultrasonic Repeller
1.
Remove the battery cover (being careful not to
press on the lens or speaker). Install 4 pcs (1.2V/pc)
2mA with Rechargeable Non-Crystalline silicon battery
(4.8 V) or 4 AA (1.5V) Battery (DC6V). (NOTE: If
non-rechargeable batteries are used, the product will
still operate to deter pests but the solar charger will not
be able to recharge the batteries.)
2.
Replace the battery cover. The Ultrasonic
Repeller is ready for operation. The light stays on for 2
seconds indicating that the unit has been triggered. (If
this light does not come on, replace the batteries.)
3.
Position the Ultrasonic Repeller (for example, in the
flowerbed, or against the wall) pointed towards the area
that you want to protect.
4.
Do not aim the product into neighboring yards
or public areas, or at caged or leashed animals.
Solar Yard Gard is intended for use on your own
property only.
5.
To mount the Solar Yard Gard unit in the ground,
push the mounting stake into the soil and attach the
Ultrasonic Repeller.
6.
To mount to a post or fence, secure with a nylon
zip-tie.
