Ultrasonic Sound Features
The PestContro Deluxe incorporates dual speakers that create a
harsh ultrasonic siren, inaudible to humans. See commonly asked
question #6 for additional information on ultrasonic sound.
1. Variable/Fixed Pitch Selector
In the variable setting, the two speakers sweep within a range of
ultrasonic sound frequencies, like two squalling and conflicting
sirens. If set to the FIXED setting the speakers broadcast a single
tone. You may hear the difference by pushing the TEST button.
Lentek recommends first setting to the FIXED setting and chang-
ing to VARIABLE if adequate results are not met.
2. Continuous/Random On-Off Selector
The Random On/Off Setting automatically turns each speaker on
and off randomly. This mode will use 50% less electricity. In the
continuous setting, both speakers broadcast continuously.
Koolatron recommends first setting to the CONTINUOUS setting
and changing to RANDOM ON-OFF if adequate results are not
met.
3. Floor Night Light Switch
Switching the On/Off switch on the left side of the unit while
plugged into an outlet, will turn on and off the Floor Night Light.
Users enjoy this feature if PestContro Deluxe is placed in a hall or
dimly lit area.
4. Test Button
When the PestContro is plugged into a power outlet, pushing the
test button will lower the ultrasonic frequencies to an audible
human level. Pushing the test button will allow you to hear the dif-
ferent ultrasonic features. To avoid hearing damage, do not use
the Test button for long periods of time and do not allow children
to play with the test switch.
LED’s
Each LED represents different properties of PestContro Deluxe.
The Red LED will continually flash. While the green LED’s repre-
sent sound emitting from each of the speakers. The Green LED’s
will randomly turn on and off if set in VARIABLE setting, and will
remain constantly on during other settings.
Power
The PestContro Deluxe is powered by a 110 volt outlet, or the rep-
resented power configuration indicated on the outside of the box.
For worldwide applications, make sure you are using the correct
plug configuration or the proper power converter that conforms
to the local voltage and outlets. Contact your local dealer or
Koolatron if you have a question concerning power issues.

4. Does PestContro have any affect on other electrical or
battery operated equipment?
PestContro does not affect any electrical appliance, equipment, or
security systems. Battery operated equipment will not be affected
since it is not physically connected to the unit.
5. Will PestContro be less effective if doors or windows are
opened?
The ultrasonic waves can be affected only by the physical nature
of the home itself. Ultrasound can not penetrate solid objects like
walls or doors. When PestContro is placed in a closed room, the
ultrasound would only be effective in that room. If a door is
opened, the sound waves will be able to travel to other areas of
the home. The waves reflect off of solid objects and can lose
some effectiveness because of screened windows and doors. It is
recommended a customer purchase additional units if they would
like the ultrasonic sound effect in additional closed areas of the
house.
6. How many units will I need for my home?
PestContro was designed to cover up to a 232 sq. m. (2500 sq.
ft.) home. It is necessary to purchase additional units if a home is
greater than 232 sq. m. (2500 sq. ft.) or more than one floor.
However, many people purchase additional single room ultrason-
ic units for added protection in attics, basements, crawl spaces,
and other problem areas.
PestContro Deluxe is also ideal for warehouses and other large
buildings with pest problems.
7. Does the location of the unit have to be changed?
Koolatron recommends that the unit be placed in a central, unob-
structed area. If favorable results are not obtained after the first
15 days, it is recommended to move the unit to another
area in the home, possibly the area where pests are seen most
often. Placing the unit in the living room or across from the
kitchen cabinets proves to be an extremely effective location for
ridding pests.
8. Does PestContro affect Pacemakers?
PestContro has never been found to affect a pacemaker.
9. How long does it take PestContro to be effective?
Under normal conditions, for the first few days of use there
should be an increase in visible activity of pests living within your
home. This is known as the flushing out period. The pests will
leave the unpleasant environment created by PestContro, usually
within 10–14 days. However, due to the 30 day gestation period
of some pests, new pests may be seen after the 30 day period.
10. What is the estimated life of PestContro?
Due to the solid construction and limited moving parts,
PestContro should offer 5 years of continuous use.
11. Does PestContro ever need servicing or repair?
Under normal conditions, PestContro requires no maintenance of
any kind.
12. Will I be able to hear PestContro?
The ultrasound frequency is set to be heard ONLY by rodents. It
is possible you will hear a clicking sound in the random frequen-
cy.
13. Can PestContro be plugged in using a power adapter or
extension cord?
Yes.
14. How much electricity does PestContro use?
Power consumption is minimal. PestContro uses just pennies
worth of electricity a day to operate. Tests have shown that
PestContro costs less to operate than a 40 watt light bulb.
Suggestions for Best Results
1. Take special care not to leave doors, windows, basements, or
garage doors open as new rodents or pests may wander in briefly
before they are affected and repelled by PestContro Deluxe.
2. Take special care not to leave human, animal or pet food sup-
plies in open areas which can attract new rodents or pests before
they can be affected by PestContro Deluxe.
3. Take special care not to carry in new rodents or pests when
transferring food, supplies, grains, animal feed, etc. from outside
supply areas into areas not being protected by PestContro
Deluxe.
Commonly Asked Questions:
1. Has PestContro met any government standards?
PestContro Deluxe is UL (Underwriters Laboratories) approved,
and CE approved for European distribution. PestContro products
by Koolatron have won several awards including the highly pres-
tigious Smithfield Innovation Award in the UK.
2. What type of pests will PestContro repel?
PestContro helps to control Rats, Mice, and other critters.
3. Will PestContro affect my pets?
PestContro generates ultrasonic sound waves which are above
the hearing range of humans, and most dogs, cats, fish, and
birds. These ultrasonic frequencies CAN be heard by rodent
pets such as hamsters, gerbils, and rabbits. In order to use
PestContro in homes with Rabbits, Mice, Hamsters, Guinea Pigs
and other rodent pets. However, by positioning the unit in an
area away from the rodent pet, you may not cause it discomfort.
