This was a basically a repellant circuit which used ultrasonic waves to create stress in pests like rodents, wall lizards, squirrels, etc. Mostly all animals are sensitive to ultrasonic frequencies in the range of 40Khz - 60Khz. The circuit had a 555 timer configured as an astable (free-running) multivibrator whose output drives a piezoelectric tweeter. This circuit had enough power to keep the unwanted guests out of a small room. For larger areas, a suitable power amplifier should be used between the 555 output and the tweeter.
I will publish the schematic soon on this site. |
