FAQ's

Q. How does the Scarebot Ultrasonic Rat Repellent work?

Scarebot emits high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves that are intolerable to rodents and other pests but completely safe and inaudible to humans and common pets like cats and dogs. These waves interfere with the pests’ nervous systems, driving them away from the area.

Q. Is it safe for children and pets?

Yes, Scarebot is 100% safe for children and common household pets such as cats and dogs. It uses no chemicals, poisons, or traps.

Q. How do I install and use it?

Scarebot supports three flexible installation options:
● Connect to a car battery using a DC cable
● Use AA batteries for wireless, portable setup
● Plug in with a USB cable for indoor use
Place the device ideally 1–3 feet above the ground, and keep it running continuously for best results.

Q. Can I use Scarebot in a car or vehicle?

Yes! Scarebot works well in cars, trucks, tractors, and RVs, helping prevent rodents from damaging wires or nesting in your vehicle. It's especially useful in engine bays or interiors.

Q. Will Scarebot drain my car battery?

No, it consumes very low power. It has low-voltage protection, which monitors car battery voltage and stops operation with an alarm sound if it detects voltage dropping below 9.2V, preventing unnecessary battery drain.
