Primate Deterrent Devices - what works and what does not - repeat posting

Great question!

Short answer .... the only humane, ethical and environmentally responsible solution is ultrasonic generated technology specifically geared towards primate (monkey and baboon) deterrence. 

The longer answer .... well let's look at what is available out there ...

One-Stop Shops

The majority of primate deterrent suppliers are resellers and not originators who sell via online platforms (Amazon, Takelot, etc) who claim that "their" device/s deter primates (among a host of other pests) with their constantly fluctuating 20k to 65k Hz emitting devices but who have no website presence of their own (REF FLAG! - no website, no credibility, no CPA protection!).

Why?

They are only interested in a quick, no-nonsense sale, claiming wide pest deterrent coverage ... some from an ant to an elephant! Purchase these at your peril ... they rarely work on primates and if they do .. then not for very long.

If you don't like money then these are a winner and more so when they are 'imported' as the CPA (Consumer Protection Act) will have limited authority over their lack of performance.

Fixed Frequency Deterrent Devices

These devices (usually a fixed 18k Hz but tend to drop to 16k) are a decided improvement over the above lot but when it comes to primates a fixed frequency does allow for some degree of them getting acquainted to the fixed range over time and when the speakers begin to make a noise that irritates you but not the primates, you lose and the primates Win!.

Fluctuating (But Restricted) Frequency Range Deterrent Devices

Now you are on safer consumer ground, but only if you are dealing with a locally based supplier (from a CPA perspective).

Fluctuating frequencies of between 20 and 22k Hz together with oscillating sound waves (or sound pressure) at between 120 and 122 dbs' is the way to go to get optimum results. At these deterrent levels primates are more likely to give a protected zone a very, very wide berth.

Monkey Bizness utilises the foregoing technology and is the only primate deterrent supplier in the local market that does not claim a 24/7 primate-free residential environment post-device installation (because no one can). Competitors, however, choose to remain 'silent' when it comes to the performance expectations of their devices.

Conversely, when it comes to industrial sites Monkey Bizness can deliver a primate-free environment provided multiple barriers to entry are created.

Trust that the foregoing information enables potential primate deterrent consumers to make an informed decision. Chat to Monkey Bizness if you require any further insight or technical clarification.
