Pestrol Rodent Free Max | Rat Mouse Repeller

The most powerful plug-in rodent repeller in New Zealand for whole-home protection

Repel rats and mice from your home, walls, and ceilings using advanced dual technology. The Pestrol Rodent Free Max combines ultrasonic and electromagnetic systems to create an environment rodents can’t live in — without chemicals, traps, or mess.

Key benefits

  • Repels rats and mice from walls, ceilings, and living spaces
  • Dual technology for whole-home protection
  • No chemicals, traps, or mess
  • Pet-friendly mode available
  • Easy plug-in setup

Why most plug-in rodent repellers don’t work

Many repellers fail because they rely on outdated or limited technology:

  • Fixed frequencies → rodents quickly adapt
  • Only works in direct line-of-sight
  • Cannot reach inside walls or ceilings

Why Rodent Free Max is different

  • Randomised frequency patterns → prevents rodent adaptation
  • Electromagnetic pulses through wiring → targets hidden areas
  • Dual-layer protection → works in both open spaces and wall cavities

What to expect

  • Results typically within 1–3 weeks
  • You may notice increased activity at first as rodents are driven out
  • Best results achieved using the recommended number of units

How it compares

Feature Pestrol Rodent Free Max Standard Repellers
Technology Ultrasonic + Electromagnetic Ultrasonic only
Coverage Whole home (incl. walls) Single room
Frequency Randomised Fixed
Adaptation resistance High Low
Power High output Low

How it works

  • What rodents experience
  • Disorientation inside walls
  • Disrupted nesting and feeding behaviour
  • Constant discomfort → they leave your home
  • Plug directly into a standard wall power socket. Do not use with extension cords, power boards, or multi-plug adapters — these can interfere with the electromagnetic signal and reduce effectiveness.

Important Power Information

If there is a power outage, the unit will need to be manually turned back on once power is restored. Simply press the button on the unit to resume operation, as it will not automatically restart after a power cut.

The technology behind it

  • Electromagnetic Technology
    Sends pulses through your home’s wiring to target rodents hiding inside walls, ceilings, and other hard-to-reach areas.
  • Ultrasonic Technology
    Emits high-frequency sound waves in open spaces like lounges and hallways, creating an uncomfortable environment that drives rodents away.
  • Coverage
    Ultrasonic coverage of up to 150m² (open areas)

  2. Been using the Rodent Free for many years in various homes…no rats or mice droppings anymore .used to use poisons and traps which never worked judging by the droppings left behind. Love the new unit as it seems more powerful and is so slim..Tried some of the cheaper units in some of hardware shops which simply did not work..The new unit seems to work ever better…

  3. So far so good, no rats. I have bought the other Rodent Free repeller before but I like how this one is slimmer and looks nicer plugged in. I can also plug in other things to the other power point which I couldn’t;t do with the other repeller

Hi will this work plugged into a room to deter rats in the ceiling? will the signals travel through walls and ceilings? Laura Tan asked on 24 November 2025

Hi Laura, yes the Rodent Free Max uses electromagnetic pulses that travel through your home’s existing wiring, so it can reach areas like walls and ceilings where rodents nest. It also emits an ultrasonic sound that works best in the same open space it’s plugged into. For multi-level homes or larger areas, additional units may be needed to ensure full coverage.

Does turning off the ultrasonic sound significantly reduce the effectiveness of repelling the rodents? Rebecca Clark asked on 26 October 2025

Hi Ariel, turning off the Ultrasonic sound may slightly reduce the overall effectiveness in open areas such as living rooms, garages, or hallways, where the Ultrasonic technology provides an added layer of deterrence.

However, the Electromagnetic function continues to operate through your home’s wiring, which targets rodents in walls and ceilings — the main areas where they travel, nest, and breed.

If you have pets sensitive to sound, using the Pet-Friendly Mode (Ultrasonic off) still offers strong protection thanks to the Electromagnetic signals. For maximum effectiveness, we recommend keeping the Ultrasonic function on in pet-free zones if possible.

Hi Ariel, these units come with the added pet friendly feature which turns off the ultrasonic which can be audible in some dog breeds. So, if set to pet friendly this will not bother your dogs :) Paige asked on 8 May 2025
