Frequently Asked Questions - Garden ARGO

How does the ARGO Garden pest repeller work?

The device emits ultrasonic sound waves at varying frequencies (20-65 kHz) that are unpleasant for pests like insects and rodents but inaudible to humans and pets (except for some small animals). This creates an uncomfortable environment and encourages pests to leave the area.

Is the ARGO Garden safe for pets like cats and dogs?

Yes, the frequencies used are generally safe for common household pets. However, some small pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, or birds may be sensitive. If you have such pets, monitor them initially and discontinue use if you notice distress.

How long does it take to see results?

Results vary depending on the severity of infestation. Some users notice reduction within a few days, but it may take 2-4 weeks for full effectiveness. Leave the device running continuously for best results.

What area does the Garden model cover?

The ARGO Garden covers up to 100 square meters (approximately 1000 sq ft) in an open space. Walls and furniture can reduce coverage, so multiple units may be needed for larger areas or multiple rooms.

Can I use the ARGO Garden outdoors?

The device is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should not be exposed to rain or direct sunlight.

Does the device need cleaning?

Periodic cleaning is recommended. Unplug the device and wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, sprays, or harsh chemicals as they may damage the electronics.

What should I do if the device stops working?

First, check the power outlet and ensure the device is plugged in properly. If still not working, try a different outlet. If it still fails, contact ARGO customer support. Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself.

Is the ARGO Garden harmful to humans?

No, the ultrasonic frequencies are above the human hearing range and are considered safe. Some people may hear a faint clicking sound if their hearing is acute, but this is not harmful.

Can I use multiple units in the same room?

Yes, using multiple units can improve coverage, especially in large or obstructed areas. However, avoid placing them too close together (less than 1 meter) as it may cause interference noise.

Does the repeller work on all insects?

The device is effective against many common pests like mosquitoes, flies, ants, cockroaches, and spiders. However, it may not work on all insect species. For severe infestations, combine with other control methods.
