How high off the ground does it sit? Will it keep out rodents?

Bottom of composter about 2 feet from the ground. No rodent problems-constructed well and seems to be rodent proof!

It sits about 3 feet off the ground and will keep out rodents and other pests.

The bottom of the container sits approximately 12" above ground level. I bought my first one in August last year and so far I have not had any evidence of either one being tampered with by varmints. I previously composted in the open and my heap was raided almost nightly by possums, raccoons and pack rats from the cow pasture immediately behind our property. I highly recommend this product, its performance thus far has been outstanding and I expect I will order yet another one in the coming year.

It is high enough from the ground to keep animals out and the materials are substantial. No vermin have attempted to get into ours. I live on a farm in the Midwest, where there is a lot of wildlife. I can't measure now but I'm guessing the lowest part of the drum is at least 2' off the ground.

It's about waist-high, and I think that it would be rodent-proof if you latch the cover.

I haven't measured under it, but I'd say 2 feet. It closes tightly enough that I don't see a problem with rodents. I've had mine since last summer and I never saw a rodent or evidence of any.

It about 2 feet off the ground. It is completely enclosed so have had no problems with rodents. We live in the country so have lots of other animals (i.e. raccoons) and have had no problems.

Yes, it keeps mice and rats completely away from your home (including inside the walls). Remember, you have to give it a couple weeks to work completely. When you plug it in, make sure it's on the correct setting and then leave it alone.

I bought it to get rid of bats. I really do not know if it works for rodents.

I think it will depend on where you have this hanging. I have seen no signs of squirrel activity on mine, even though I have a lot of squirrels in my yard, but a smaller rodent could more likely squeeze in between the metal wires...it would depend on if he is already below the baffle. If he is below, I would say he could get at the food...I am thinking field mouse size. They recommend that these bird feeders be hung four feet from any possible jumping perch, or to use a pole designed for this purpose.

I'd think under a mobile home would be ideal...it's protected from the weather and in the rodent's domain.

My feeder is about 6' off the ground, that height keeps the smaller animals that can't climb trees from getting the squirrel food and still low enough to easily refill it. I've had it about 3 months now and the squirrels love it. This feeder, unlike my last wooden feeder should last for years, well worth the extra money.

As far as I can tell, it repels nothing. I bought two. One I mounted under the hood. After two weeks they (mice) built a nest on top of it. They other I put in the cab. Rodent droppings persist. SAVE your money

Yes, it will. We have a 28 inch high fence around the garden to keep out rabbits. The wire connected to the Havahart is about four inches off the ground and about 4 inches away from the outside of the fence. The groundhog used to have a path worn in the grass from the bushes by the garden to the fence but we have not have any problems with groundhogs since then (about four years now) though we see them in the neighbors' yards. The batteries last about two months or more if there are no weeds or grass touching the electrified wire.

It just sits on top. It also has handles on the short sides where you can see right in. So if you're concerned about water or critters, it will no protect against them.

No. It is way too small and the fencing is way to short. Better for smaller rodents. I do think they make a larger size.

Hard to say, I used it for mice control and it didn't work. Seems to me it should work right away if the sounds from it is suppose to stop the critters from going where you have it.

About 5 inches tall. I bought these to deter racoons from accessing my roof via the fence line. They are not substantial enough for this. We ended up using industrial bird spike which has worked pretty well. If you are going to bigger critters, I'd suggest metal or industrial spike.

will probably keep out rodents but not something as small as a spider or bug

I think it would, until the mice find there way out. They may stay in long enough to try to hide as there are lots of places for the mice to hide. It is essentially a cardboard box with holes outside and more cardboard inside to block easy access to paws reaching in easily. it is rather light weigh so it may get tossed around.

The screen opens fairly easily. The magnets are spaced about 5" apart and pull away easily with a little pressure which is convenient for dogs and if your hands are full. The mesh keeps out bugs but probably would not keep out anything of small weight trying to get in. I hot glued two large metal washers at the bottom to keep it from blowing around as much when windy but I doubt that would discourage rodents. It does stay closed when it is supposed to very well.

About 6 feet or higher. It really works. The only way a squirrel can get into the feeder is if it jumps from a tree or roof etc.

There's no top to it, but one could be made out of chicken wire. The plastic sides are thick enough to stop them, but if you have issues with rodents then you might want to buy one of the bin type composters.
