1. Introduction
The BORHOOD Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent is designed to deter various pests such as mice, rats, squirrels, bats, spiders, and cockroaches from indoor areas. This device utilizes a combination of ultrasonic waves, pressure waves, electronic waves, and an auxiliary flashing light mode to create an uncomfortable environment for pests, encouraging them to leave the protected space. It is safe for humans and most household pets, operating within a sound wave frequency range of 25-65KHz.

The repellent works by interfering with the pests' sense of hearing, disrupting their brain memory, and stimulating their nervous system. This method aims to repel pests without using harmful chemicals, traps, or poisons, making it a humane and environmentally friendly solution.

2. Setup and Placement
2.1 Power Connection
To begin using your BORHOOD Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent, simply plug the device into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible and the device is securely connected.
2.2 Optimal Placement
For maximum effectiveness, place the repellent in an area where pest activity is observed. The device offers 360° full protection and can effectively cover up to 3900 square feet in areas without obstructions. Avoid placing the unit behind large furniture, curtains, or other objects that could block the ultrasonic waves, as this will reduce its coverage and efficacy.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Working Modes
The BORHOOD Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent features four distinct working modes to address various pest situations:
- Ultrasonic Wave Mode: Emits high-frequency sound waves that are generally inaudible to humans but highly irritating to pests.
- Pressure Wave Mode: Generates varying pressure waves to disorient and deter pests.
- Electronic Wave Mode: Utilizes electronic signals to create an uncomfortable environment for pests.
- Auxiliary Flashing Light Mode: In addition to sound waves, this mode activates a strong flashing light to further repel pests, particularly effective in dark environments.
You can adjust the modes according to your specific needs. Refer to the device's control panel for mode selection buttons.

3.2 Expected Results
The repelling process is continuous and requires consistent use. Visible results typically appear within 2-3 weeks, with pest activity significantly reduced. After approximately 4 weeks of continuous operation, pests should almost disappear from the treated area. Continued use is recommended to prevent their reappearance. The device operates with very low power consumption, typically 3-5W.
4. Maintenance
The BORHOOD Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent requires minimal maintenance:
- Ensure the device is not obstructed by furniture, curtains, or other objects that could block the emitted waves.
- Periodically wipe the exterior of the device with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Keep the area around the device clean to avoid attracting pests with food sources or clutter.
5. Troubleshooting
- No immediate results: It is normal for results to take time. Pest activity typically reduces within 2-3 weeks and almost disappears after 4 weeks of continuous use. Do not expect instant eradication.
- Device stops working after a power outage: If power is interrupted, the device may need to be manually reset to your desired working mode. Check the control panel and re-select the appropriate settings.
- Audible sound: While the primary ultrasonic waves are generally inaudible to humans, some lower frequencies, especially in certain operating modes, might be faintly audible to sensitive individuals or pets. This is normal operation and does not indicate a malfunction.
- Pests still present: Ensure the device is placed correctly without obstructions and that the coverage area is appropriate for your space. Consider adding additional units for larger or highly compartmentalized areas.
