First of all, it should be mentioned that the Marder+Mice distributor has a good optical impression leaves. It has rounded corners, however minor processing errors.

First, the included batteries (6 x AAA) must be inserted to use the Marder+Mice Repeller.

The device can then be used, for example, in engine bay, barn, loft or garage with the supplied ones Cable ties or screws to be installed. Dowels are not included, but not necessary due to the weight.
Because of the short, interval delivery of high-frequency tones, the manufacturer promises one Battery life of around 8 months. In the case of an engine compartment installation, the device only emits its high-frequency tone when the vehicle is stationary. Otherwise, the device sounds continuously at 23 kHz in the specified interval. The frequency was in the test for us imperceptible, but functionality could not be guaranteed by the red indicator light beeing confirmed. Their flashing indicates a soft click by itself, which shouldn't be a problem if it's installed in the locations mentioned. How the effect of the product behaves in practice would have to be determined in a long-term test. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not give any explicit information about a possible one Water resistance, making it suitable for use in certain outdoor spaces not guaranteed can be. Only on the Removal before an engine wash when used in the engine compartment was pointed out.
