As noted in my post on the previous page, I've been experiencing an increase of mouse activity in my vehicles. I'm trying some more offensive measures to eradicate them as peppermint oil and feral cats aren't keeping up.
I ordered a set of two ultrasonic devices for automotive use.
Robot or human?
The link has a goofy name, but will take you to Walmart's website and the page it's offered on.
Yesterday I installed the first unit in my Subaru Outback, today my '18 SR5.
It mounted easily with zip ties suspending the unit from two perfectly placed clips on the molding above it, resting lightly on the brake cylinder and a zip tie holding the bottom to a bracket.
I took a two minute video of the unit on my work bench powered by my jump starter pack before mounting it. The high pitched tone every 15 seconds or so is my jumper box, which does so to alert that it is in jump start mode.

The unit produces ultrasonic waves, strobing lights and sounds akin to an owl or hawk closing in. It cycles for 30 seconds every three minutes. Now it sounds odd as my Subaru and 4Runner are alternating in making sounds in the driveway. An oddity, the LED readout, instead of having a peel off protective film with imitation digits so that the purchaser can see what the display looks like, has a clear film that I could not peel off fully. I realized after getting some off that the lens over the LEDs is painted. In the dark the LEDs can be seen (as shown in the video), but not when there's light. Weird.
A dryer sheet or two can also be found in the photo, a suggestion by a neighbor.
