Pumpkin Taking Shape: Indoor 1989.5 Daletas ’17 dmg
Overall, the pumpkin is starting to gain some height. To help lift the main vine and to ensure mice do not become an issue two ultrasonic sonicators have been added to deter mice. Growers often ask if these are effective and based on past experience these are the only device that will stop a mouse from eating a pumpkin so as a preventative they work even better.
However, even though it is a sound-based product, sound at this wavelength does not behave like we may think. Typically, you can have one speaker in a large room and still be able to hear it through out the room. Well at the ultrasonic sonication level sound behaves more like a laser beam of light so the “speaker” needs to point directly at the area you want the sound to be heard. This is part of the reason why each ultrasonic sonicator has three “speakers” pointed at different angles as this helps increase the area of effectiveness.
