The red light indicates the unit is working. Most people do not hear a sound coming from the unit. If the red light comes on when the unit senses motion, it is charged and operating. All of this is in the instruction pamphlet.

Hi. The red light indicates that it has been triggered, thus the hi frequency is active.. Checkl the packaging fr plavement as the angle is less than 180 degrees. You can turn them so they overlap, covering the desired area....Cheers.

That is all mind do too Patsy! I should have sent it back, but didn't! Sorry I couldn't help you except to sympathize!

Mine has not worked since the day we got it. The light is red and the switch is turned on correctly but the rabbits have eaten all of my sweet potatoe plants. I think either Bell & Howell or Amazon should stand behind their produce and send us a new replacement for the ones we purchased Vickie

Unfortunately the light is the only indication that the units function as an ultrasonic tone is inaudible to the human ear. I bought 3 units to protect a 18' x 18' garden from squirrels some weeks ago and unfortunately they proved to be useless.

Hi Patsy, About 4years ago I had purchased one and it worked fine. Animals would squeal when they came within the sensor. I have just purchased 2 new ones and they do not work like the first one. The light comes on as you say, but the animals don't even notice. I recommend you return them. They don't work. I have tried having them closer together. I have monitored at night time when the racoons and skunks come. I don`t know what the problem is. I have tried varies things to see if it would make a difference, but no change. Send them back, the company should know that they do not work. There is no volume control to adjust the volume to see if that would make a difference. Mine are going back too. I am sorry if I misled you. I am disappointed with them. I hope you can find something that works. I`m trying to find something as well. Joan

I have also had problems with owls, but I dont think this light will help. I do think it has helped with foxes. My suggestion for the owls though is to cover your run with chicken wire, or netting. Do you lock up your chickens and geese at night? I also moved my coop and run towards the corner of my yard where I have lots of tree cover and that has seemed to "hide" them better from hawks and owls, both of which have taken my chickens.

I would suggest going to the Talprid website and contacting the mfg. It worked well on my moles. I also used a device called a MoleMover that uses two C batteries and gives off a noise (underground) that simulates another mole/gopher that seems to have helped rid the yard of the critters.

It appears to be an improved model. The theory is good but it has obviously not worked for me outdoors. Either it is not working properly or some bigger and smarter animal is reaching in over the charger plate and robbing it without being shocked. Could be raccoons or feral cats. I would like to try it indoors but I don't have that type of problem.

If you can contact the manufacturer and ask them and post it, I would like to know the answer also. I have turned mine off and re-configured the lights to a different position where they would not be over the sensor, or close to one another and the strobing stopped at least temporarily. I would try that, but also call the manufacturer and ask them what they would suggest, and maybe they have a permanent solution.

that's all to it. if the unit is not defective it should make an audible beep every minute or so.time will tell if it really gets rid of creatures.

I have tried EVERY product out there and NOTHING works.... EXCEPT..... This year a bought an owl, battery operated motion sensor. The head spins around when activated. It also "Hoots", after a while I shut the hooting feature off. You do have to keep repositioning the owl but the squirrels did stay away.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

Not sure, if don't have animals. Have you had animals and sold them? If you continue to have the problem, re-install and try again.l

I got one to deter deer which I am happy to say it seems to work. Another was placed to deter armadillos. I'm not real sure how it has affected them. They really did a number on flower beds before I got it set up. I'm not sure about rats and mice. If they are on the list for these give them a shot. Make sure that you set them up correctly. You may also have to set them up tilted down toward the ground and not on the ground. We also have neighborhood cats in our yard unaffected by this machine.

I'm not sure. I tried using it only for deer, which didn't work. I switched to Deer Stopper that resolved the problem. I also used human hair and garlic, to repel the animals. It worked!!!

Dear App Lover, To test the ET Pest Control you press the test button on top of the unit. On the ET, there should be 1 red blinking light and 2 green constant stay on lights. The red blinking light indicates that the ET is working properly. The 2 green constant stay on lights indicate that each left & right speakers are working properly. If you don't see any lights then there is something wrong with the unit and we will replace it. If you could email us at Amazon with your order # so we can get your replacement ET coming!

Mine don't light up other than the LED bank emits a bit of reddish glow if thats what you refer to. It don't seem to deter any animals from 'posing' for the camera. I have one in the barn and the critters (wood hogs, coons, cats and assorted creatures) all get caught on the SC card, so it's a non-issue ar least with me. Battery life is phenominal. I use the heck out of one (in the barn) been going for a couple months and still has an indicated 85% battery life. Again, I was a little miffed, the cams were supposed to ship with an interface cable and they didn't but I just used one I had in the drawer, no biggie.

We've had them in the same place for nearly three years and there is no indication of any predator trying to break in. We have a very sturdy enclosure, but I think there would at least be some signs of attempt if these lights didn't work.

Jessica, I think they would work for them too. It makes predators think another predator is there already so it should work. I have not had any problems with the coyotes, bobcats or mountain lions at night since getting them. Still have to watch for them during the daylight though.

The light is on when I stand in front of device. an interesting thing is that a rabbit or squirrel standed in front of device, it had no response.

If the red light is constant, it just means that the unit is working. I bought these mainly for spiders and I haven't seen one inside for 5-6 years now. Good Luck
