the screws and hang the unit.
If installing the unit outdoors, place it at the height of the pests if possible. If not, tilt the
unit downwards slightly to capture the pests in the device’s eective range (see diagram
on page 6). The unit must be aimed at the direction of the pests with no objects (e.g.
windows, walls or fences) in front of it.
Training a Pet:
Some people try the Yard Sentinel
™
out on their pets to see if it works or to train their pet
not to enter a particular area. It’s important to remember that your pet is used to living
comfortably in your home. He may be annoyed by the sound, but he may not be deterred
from the room. As far as he is concerned your home is his proper place. An outdoor
animal on the other hand is sensitive to noise and alert to danger. The same way an alarm
will repel an intruder, the ultrasonic signal will repel an unwanted animal.
If you want to use the ultrasonic device to deter your cat or dog from a part of the
house, you may have to train them. When the device activates, show them what to do.
Demonstrate to them that it’s time to leave the room when they hear the noise and that
doing this will stop the noise. Dogs will, of course, be easier to train than cats.
Note: Just like your pet, wild animals will have certain habits and behaviours that can
change over time. If they are accustomed to nding food in your backyard, they may
continue to come even if they are disturbed by the ultrasonic, especially if they can’t nd
food elsewhere. The Yard Sentinel™ is designed to work in combination with other good
pest management practices.
Here are some preventive measures you can take to keep pests out of your home
and yard:
1. Keep garbage lids closed tightly.
2. Store food in airtight containers.
3. Don’t leave pet food and water out overnight.
4. Repair plumbing leaks and cracks.
5. Drain all liquids and wash containers before you put them in the recycle bin.
6. Accumulating paper products such as cardboard boxes, bags, newspapers, etc.,
should be avoided.
7. Keep grass short around the foundation of the house and the trees and shrubs
planted away from the house.
8. Screen all vent opening such as crawl spaces, attics or laundry vents.
9. Repair and adjust windows and door screens.
