Description
Summary:The Smart Mice Control is to presents an analysis follows of research and development attempts of a device that is capable of emitting ultrasonic varied frequencies to reduce habituation effects, to improve efficacy, to incorporate and integrate ultrasonic devices into traditional rodent control methods. These frequencies do affect the auditory senses of pests but not the hearing ability of man. This device used Astable Multi-vibrator (AMV) to generate the required varied ultrasonic frequency by a pulse generating IC and a counter. To control the different frequencies selection, variable resistors are used before a D-type flip-flop IC used to obtain a symmetrical output signal. Transducer was employed to produce an efficient sound generated. The unit was tested with white foot mice (Peromyscus leucopus) and a female house mouse Mus musculus which all responded positively from the source.
