1. Purpose
Chase moles and voles from your property the
animal-friendly way, without the use of harmful
poisons, traps, etc.
This mole Repeller emits strong underground sound
waves to confuse and chase away these undesira-
ble critters. A solar panel charges the integrated
battery. A full charge ensures around 5 days of
operation, so that the device works even during
periods of bad weather.
The device has a range of up to 700 m
2
, depending
on substrate conditions. Other organisms living in
the ground, such as worms, are not affected by the
device. The sound waves emitted by the MVT-2 are
harmless to humans and pets. The device is easy to
install and weatherproof.
Acts as a Repeller for moles, voles and other
critters using an animal-friendly method,
without poison or traps
Effective due to wide-ranging sound waves
transmitted underground
Does not affect children or pets
Solar-powered battery lasts for up to 5 days
without recharge; no need to replace batteries
High-quality, weatherproof case made
from ABS plastic
Suitable for outdoor use (IP65)
The Solar Mole Repeller MVT-2 is intended to be used to chase away animals such
as moles and voles in a harmless fashion. Any other use is not in accordance
with the intended purpose and leads to exclusion of warranty and liability. This
includes modifications and changes to the device.
2. Proper Use
4. Operating and Safety Instructions
Do not leave packaging material lying around. Plastic foils/bags, polystyrene
parts, etc. can become a hazardous toy to children.
The device is not a toy.
Only use the device with the power supply listed in the technical data section.
Do not install the device in areas where it can cause people to trip (e.g. play-
ground, sports field). If such a placement cannot be avoided, clearly mark the
device, e.g. with a small flag.
Do not install in areas in danger of flooding.
The device contains an integrated rechargeable NiMH battery. Do not break
the seal, otherwise moisture may enter the device.
5. Installation and Operating Instructions
Choose a location for the device to achieve a systematic deterrence of the
animals (see section 6 in this manual). In addition, the location should re
-
ceive as much sunlight as possible during the day, therefore you should not
place the device in an area shaded by trees or buildings.
Prepare the ground prior to installing the device. For instance, pound a
wooden post into the ground to create a hole. The depth should correspond
to the length of the spike (around 210 mm).
Do not use the device to create a hole or you might damage the material in
the process.
Completely insert the device into the hole such that the top slightly protru-
des from the ground, as shown in section 1. This ensures that the solar panel
receives sufficient sunlight. Do not use a hammer to insert the device into
the ground!
Turn the device on by moving the switch on the side to the ON position.
The battery now begins to charge. As soon as it is sufficiently charged, the
device starts to emit sound waves at 30-s intervals.
The device can be inserted into all types of substrates. It is particularly
effective in denser/heavier substrate (e.g. clay) because the noise will travel
as structure-borne sound. In lighter substrate (e.g. sand), the sound waves
are not transmitted as well, which has a smaller deterring effect on the
animals. Obstacles in the ground, such as building foundations, can greatly
impede the sound transmission. Small obstacles such as point foundations
or footings do not affect the sound transmission.
Remove the device from the soil when there is a chance of frost or risk of
flooding to prevent damages to the device. In the winter months, moles and
voles are much less active, therefore you can temporarily remove the device
and reuse it in the spring.

User Manual
Please carefully read this manual in its entirety before installing and using the device. Keep this
manual for your records and as a reference. If you hand over this device to be used by another
person, be sure to include this user manual.
3. How It Works
The Solar Mole Repeller MVT-2 emits sound waves at set intervals (every 30 s)
which travel through the substrate and act as a Deterrent for moles and voles.
While the device does not prevent the presence of the animals, it ensures that
they prefer other areas. Thus, they will avoid any areas within range of the noise
emitted by the device.
How well the sound waves travel depends on the substrate condition and the
number of devices in operation. Multiple, strategically placed devices are more
like to have a deterring effect.
Important:
Animals react differently to the device, which is why we cannot guarantee that
the animals are chased away in every case.
However, a strategic placement (see section 6 in this manual) of the device usually
results in the animals leaving the area.
The sound waves emitted by the device are audible to the human ear.
When using the device, be considerate of persons who may feel disturbed by
the sounds
We do not assume any liability for damages to property or personal injury due to
improper handling or for non-observance of the safety and operating instruc-
tions. In such cases, all warranty claims expire. We do not assume any liability
for further damages. Do not open the device, do not attempt any repairs and
do not make any modifications or changes – this will result in loss of warranty.
We do not assume any liability for further damages.
6. Practical Tips
You can increase the chances of successfully deterring the animals by placing the
device in a strategic location. Use multiple devices to maximise your chances of
success by systematically chasing the animals from your property.
Ensure that you place the devices so that the animals you want to keep away
are not trapped on your property. To do this, simply insert the mole Repeller
into the ground between the wall of your house and the closest mole mound
(see Figure 1).
About every two weeks, move the mole Repeller away from your house and
closer to your property line. You should move the device as soon as you can
see that the mole mounds begin to appear further away from the house (see
Figure 2).
If the mole mounds have not moved within 4 weeks, please ensure that the
device is working properly (see section 5 in this manual).
Follow the gradually moving mole mounds by regularly moving the devices
until there are no longer any mounds on your property. Keep the devices in
operation at the property line to ensure that the animals keep away from
your property.
When you move the mole Repeller, ensure that the solar panel properly pro-
trudes from the lawn (see section 5 in this manual) and is located in an area
that receives sufficient sunlight during the day.
How long it takes for the mole mounds to move varies and can be influenced
by factors such as substrate condition. Foundations and concrete slabs can
also limit the effectiveness of the devices.
Never place the mole Repeller directly onto or into one of their mounds.
