Deer whistles are somewhat like the proverbial “snake oil.” How do you know if they really work? When it comes to traditional air-operated deer whistles, the answer is simple: you don’t. We’ve all seen these little contraptions in gas stations. For a few bucks, you can buy the little plastic devices that mount to the front bumper of your car. They claim to emit a noise that frightens deer away…but only once you car is traveling fast enough so that the wind blows through them. Unless you want to cling to the hood of your car as it barrels down the road at 60 mph, you’ll never find out if these little things work!
But did you know that there’s a better option? Home Products ‘n’ More offers the Hornet, an electronic deer whistle. That’s right, electronic. Meaning that it is wired into your vehicle’s electrical system, so it is operational all the time, regardless of wind speed. It can be hotwired to run whenever your vehicle is running, or it can be wired through the headlights so it comes on when you turn your lights on. The Hornet also comes with a toggle switch that can be mounted inside the car, on the front of your dash, so you can just flip it on whenever you want. When the Hornet is on, you’ll know that it’s working, because it produces an audible, high pitched sound that alerts deer that you’re coming.
With the Hornet Electronic Deer Whistle, you’ll never again have to worry about whether your deer whistle is working.
