Art.-No. 70061
Dear customer,
thank you for choosing one of our quality products. This man-
ual explains the functions and handling of the device. Please
take some time to read through the instructions carefully and
make sure to follow all safety and operational directions. Keep
this manual safe and ensure that you include it when passing
the product on to a third party. If you have any questions or
suggestions about this device, please contact your supplier
or our service team. We wish you a great success using this
product and would appreciate it if you would recommend us.
1. Designated use
The Vole Defence 'Four Seasons' is designed to repel moles
and voles in advance and to keep them out of your garden
permanently. Position the device in the ground, the slender
design makes this easy. The device then sends tones into the
soil. These disturb moles and voles in their daily habits. The
tones are repeated approximately every 30 seconds at a fre-
quency of 400 Hz.
2. Important notes
The Gardigo Vole Defence 'Four Seasons' will not prevent the
habitation of an animal, but other places will appear more
pleasant to a ground digger. The unit uses sonic waves in
special frequencies which appear disturbing to moles and
voles. How well these sound waves spread depends on the
soil conditions. Once the animals notice that the annoying
sound continues, the moles and voles will search for a quieter
place. It may take several days or weeks until this happens.
Note: the response of each animal to our devices may vary. The
development of our devices, methods and application tips are
based on experience, testing and feedback from our custom-
ers. Therefore the devices are successful in most cases.
