Construction of an Ultrasonic Pest Repeller
Abstract: An ultrasonic pest repeller (UPR) was constructed to repel pest like rodent from home in order to prevent damage and possible infections or diseases caused by rodents. Rodents can perceive ultrasonic sound of frequencies within the range of 20 to 65 kHz. Our UPR when tested emit varying ultrasonic frequencies approximately within the range of 20 to 50 kHz. We found that these varying frequencies are like sound produced by …
