Critter Blaster Pro Electronic Animal Repellent

Critter-Blaster-Pro-animal-repellent-01.jpgWould you like to repel many types of animals over an area larger than five acres? If you answered yes, the Critter Blaster Pro is the beast for you. This animal repellent is designed for repelling animals from large areas in rural or non-residential neighborhoods. It may be too powerful for the hobby gardener due to how it repels the animals. Let’s take a look.

We checked the prices of the Critter Blaster Pro on our Ebay price check link and found it sporting a price tag anywhere from $480-$600, depending on where you buy it. This electronic animal repellent is best suited for commercial use, but could be used by a homeowner on some acreage. Repellent Review is cautious about recommending this animal deterrent to residential customers after reading about the court case filed against one user of the repellent.

This electronic repellent works by emitting sounds electronically of animals in distress or making harassing sounds. With the capability of reaching over 100 decibels, some neighbors might not be happy about having to hear an animal in distress 24 hours a day. It is effective though.

Other features include,

  • Designed for farms or vineyards, airfields, marinas, etc.
  • Eight different sounds
  • Electronic repellent uses Progammable Play for hours of different sound combinations

What makes this animal repellent so effective is because it changes the sounds that are electronically emitted. The use of only loud noises loses its effect. The animal soon determines the repellent is a non-threat.

The Critter Blaster Pro will repel raccoons, deer, dogs, foxes, bear, rodents, birds, and even bats. There is a volume control on the unit so you can turn it to your desired level. Tests have shown that this electronic repellent has significantly, and in some cases, totally eliminated the pest problem.

Critter-Blaster-Pro-animal-repellent-02.jpgRepellent Review recommends the Critter Blaster Pro for commercial use. This electronic animal repellent comes with four speakers and requires an electrical source to run. It might be wise to investigate local noise ordinance laws if you are in an area that is borderline.

Deer Repellent That Worked Too Well

A Christmas tree farmer, Jim Boswell, was having a difficult time with deer eating his evergreen trees. This third-generation farmer had to find a deer repellent that would work, or lose his business. Neighbors frowned on his use of shooting guns, and carrying a crossbow. Deer repellent sprays weren’t working either.

Repellent Review would have told Jim he’d probably need to use a combination of proven deer repellent techniques, as just spraying is not as effective. Well he did find a repellent that worked for him. The Critter Blaster Pro, an electronic repellent that produces annoying sounds such as beeps, whistles and screeching sounds. We searched ebay and found this repellent available for $488 to $594. For that price it should work great. It did!

This electronic deer repellent worked so well that his neighbors took him to court. Not only was it annoying the deer, but the neighbors too! Regarding his use of the repellent Mr. Boswell commented, ‘”I am just trying to make a living the old-fashioned way - by farming.”… Boswell’s family has been growing Christmas trees in the Skippack area since the 1940s. “I just want to sell my trees.”‘

Boswell believed he could legally use the deterrent. ‘Like other farming states, Pennsylvania has laws aimed at protecting agriculture. In 1982, as housing developments began eating away at suburban farmland, the state enacted the Right to Farm Act to protect farmers from new residents who might complain about the smells and sounds of farming in their developing neighborhoods.

The law states that any municipality with a nuisance ordinance must exempt agricultural operations that do not have a “direct, adverse effect on the public health and safety.”‘

The Critter Blaster Pro animal repellent can go as high as 112 decibels. Boswell claims he set it at 55 decibels. He’s still fighting his neighbors in court

Repellent Review would suggest using the Critter Blaster Pro electronic deer repellent device if you reside in a rural area with NO neighbors.
