BRADAS CTRL-AN201B Car Rodent and Marten Repellent, black, for 12V battery connection, with mounting holes

The BRADAS CTRL-AN201B is an electronic car rodent and marten repellent designed for direct connection to a 12V vehicle battery. Housed in a black enclosure with built-in mounting holes, the unit emits electronic and ultrasonic deterrent signals intended to discourage rodents and martens from entering or nesting in the engine compartment. It is intended for use in private cars and light commercial vehicles and provides a compact, hard-mounted option for continuous protection while the vehicle is parked or stored.

Advantages

The device offers continuous, maintenance-free operation when connected to a 12V source and can be mounted securely using the supplied mounting-hole pattern. Its compact black housing is designed for under-hood installation without occupying significant space. The combination of electronic and ultrasonic signals targets typical pests found in vehicle engine bays and aims to reduce the risk of cable chewing, insulation damage, and nesting that can cause mechanical or electrical faults.

Suitable for

• Private passenger cars requiring under-hood protection against rodents and martens
• Light commercial vehicles and vans with accessible 12V battery connection
• Vehicles parked for extended periods or stored seasonally where nesting risk increases

When it may not be suitable

This electronic repellent may not be effective against all individual animals or in every installation location; results can vary depending on pest behaviour and surrounding environment. It is not a physical barrier and does not prevent animals from entering areas where strong attraction exists (for example, where food, shelter, or existing nests are present).

Key specifications

• Power supply: designed for 12V DC vehicle battery connection
• Output type: electronic and ultrasonic deterrent signals
• Housing colour: black
• Installation: mounting holes integrated into the housing for secure attachment
• Intended use: under-bonnet/engine compartment pest deterrence for cars and light commercial vehicles

How to use

Mount the unit in a suitable location inside the engine compartment using the built-in mounting holes, ensuring it is positioned where sound emissions are not obstructed by covers or insulation. Connect the unit to the vehicle's 12V battery following vehicle manufacturer safety procedures: disconnect the negative terminal before making connections if required, and secure wiring to avoid contact with moving or hot components. After installation, reconnect the battery and verify the unit operates according to the manufacturer's brief operating indications. Periodically inspect the mounting and wiring for corrosion or damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your vehicle has an accessible 12V battery connection and suitable mounting location under the bonnet
• Understand that electronic/ultrasonic signals may not deter every pest and results depend on local pest activity
• Consider additional preventive measures where attraction sources (food, shelter) exist

Usage recommendations

For best results, install the unit in a central engine-bay location clear of heavy insulation or covers, combine with regular engine-bay inspections, and, where possible, remove attractants that may encourage rodents or martens to approach the vehicle.
