Why Install Anti-Marten Devices?

Martens, along with other rodents, pose a significant threat to electronics and vehicles in South Africa. Their chewing habits can damage wiring harnesses, fiber optic cables, solar inverter connections, and sensor systems-risking costly downtime and repair. Anti-marten devices deliver non-lethal, ongoing protection by deterring animals through sound, vibration, and mild electrical pulses, making them a practical solution for:

  • Passenger vehicles, delivery fleets, and agricultural machinery
  • PV inverters, generator enclosures, and battery banks in the field
  • Telecom cabinets, electrical distribution, and critical industrial controls

Types of Anti-Marten Devices

You can select from several device designs, each with unique features for different use cases:

TypeHow It WorksTypical Use
Ultrasonic RepellerEmits shifting frequencies (20-45kHz) uncomfortable for martens/rodentsEngine bays, indoor/outdoor enclosures
Vibration PadsVibrating panel disturbs animals when they attempt entrySolar inverter cabinets, battery cases
Electrified BarriersLow-power pulse wired to surfaces or cables, deterring bitesVehicle wiring, large outdoor boxes
Practical Note: Marten and rodent damage claims are not always covered by insurance, so proactive protection with locally available deterrents can reduce risk and costs.

Specification Highlights

  • Operating Voltage: Most units 12V DC (vehicle compatible), some with multi-voltage support for field equipment
  • Coverage Area: Up to 40m2 per device (model dependent), can be daisy-chained for larger setups
  • Weather Resistance: Outdoor/automotive units feature IP-rating or robust casing for real-world use

Popular brands offered by Communica include KEMO (German-made automotive & solar deterrents), as well as cost-effective alternatives suited for South African conditions.

Selecting the Right Anti-Marten Solution

Choosing the right device depends on your installation environment and risk profile. Here's a quick guide:

  • Automotive/Vehicle Protection: Use ultrasonic repellers or hybrid units combining sound with vibration. Secure in engine bay, wire to 12V battery supply.
  • Solar Inverters/Cabinets: Use vibration mats or enclosure-integrated repellers. For high-value field systems, consider pairing ultrasonic and vibration for best coverage.
  • Sensitive Infrastructure: Electrified tape/barrier or multiple ultrasonic nodes for wide-area broadcast where persistent animals are an issue.
