tightly around the stick. The more tight and dense the sur-
rounding earth is the better the quartz vibration will travel
underground. The stick can be used as a preventive measure
against an invasion of ants in the garden. If you are using the
stick as a preventive measure, we recommend placing a num-
ber of sticks around the perimeter of the garden leaving a di-
stance of 20 - 25 m between each stick. If you already have
ants in the garden, insert the stick between the house and
the ants. Target is to drive the ants out of the garden. Once
the ants have started moving away from the stick, move the
stick towards the ant nest and the perimeter of the garden.
Please note that barriers in the ground, such as stones or
concrete foundations, are also barriers for the emitted sound.
Switch the device to "ON". It will take approximately 2 - 4
weeks, but you will then notice, that the ants are leaving the
area. The time-span is also very dependent on the condition
and structure of the soil. If the soil contains a lot of sand,
the sound cannot travel so far. Hard and solid ground lets the
sonic waves travel further.
Note: animal repellents with a solar panel are primarily used
in the summer months when there is a lot of sun available.
In spring or autumn and winter we recommend using devices
with extractable, rechargeable batteries or external power
supplies. It is also advisable to take the device out of the
ground during winter, as low temperatures can harm the re-
chargeable battery.
