Thread: Pulse deterrents - do they actually deter snakes?

So, now we're back in Maleny, The Navigator has just charged and installed the snake pulse deterrents she bought up north to save her precious hens from the marauding local pythons.
The instructions are quite picky about how to install them. The soil has to be firm and the support post sunk so the unit is 50 cm above ground level or the pulse won't transmit properly. The units have to be five metres apart.
So, now the question is, how do we know if they work? If the snakes still come, then the deterrents have failed. If the snakes don't come, then either the deterrents worked, or else there were no snakes.
Time will tell...

Also could be the Snakes have ****ed on them & shorted out the circuit boards & snuk off into the hinterland & having a laugh? If they wore aluminium/tin foil hats I suppose they could have got close enough to do that.


As you say "Time will tell"

BTW, are you sure 'The Nav' bought the right thing as they look a bit like an Israeli Pressure Mine for Tanks, not snakes, so be careful walking around in your slippers in the dark or missing chickens will be the least of your worries..

Could be made in the same factory. Do they have IDI on them anywhere? Maybe even have a chip that says Kadish as you step on them. Kalashnikov made motor bikes and AK's in the same factory.
