NOTHING LIKE IT!
Nite Guard is a solar powered (no batteries needed ever) flashing, red light that, when postitioned correctly, will repel night animals that could harm your livestock or your gardens. Scientific studies done in Europe have proven that all night animals share the same deeply rooted fear of being watched and therefore threatened. Remember being told to never look a cornered animal in the eyes as it represents a challenge? The specially engineered red flash of Nite Guard implies the eye of another organism and presents that very threat. These studies have also shown the color red to be a universal alarm color for all animals and humans. Stop signs are red in color for that reason.

PROPER CHARGING
Upon receipt of the Nite Guard make sure to remove the black, protective tape that covers the solar panel. Simply install the light in the area to be protected and where it will receive about 4 hours of daylight. Nite Guard will begin to operate that very night, however, it will take 3-4 days for the light to be fully charged. If the light is placed in an area where it will not receive enough sunlight to maintain its charge you may see the operation of the light become weak or even stop. In this situation, simply place the light in direct sunlight for a 3-4 day period and it will fully charge up again. This product is obviously designed for outside use. Because it is light sensitive, Nite Guard also provides protection at two critical times of the day--dusk and dawn.

YOU ARE IN CHARGE
Night animals must see the flash to be repelled, therefore the correct positioning of the light is vital. You will be the best judge of the final positioning of your Nite Guard because each area is different in terms of terrain, buildings, high grass, brush and trees. Remember, in order to be totally effective, all four sides of the area where you have livestock or crops should be protected by the flash of Nite Guard. Predator type animals are very determined to get at your poultry, animals or crops and will circle the entire area searching for a safe entry. Position the lights at approximately eye level with the predator to be stopped and make every effort to mount the lights in an open area and because predators will not come close to investigate this dangerous "eye" they will begin to shrink back from it the instant they are aware of it. Stopping night predators can be a complicated task - so be creative with your positioning, using the suggested mounting instructions as a guideline! Also be patient and have enough Nite Guards to do the job required. This will be the best investment you will have ever made to protect your livestock and property.

SLEEP TIGHT AT NIGHT
Maintenance free Nite Guard is completely weather proof and has been tested to withstand rain, snow and ice. It was subject to the full fury of Hurrican Katrina and did not miss a flash. It will also operate fully in below zero temperatures. Nite Guard is constructed very well and will withstand rough handling and accidental dropping of the unit. Avoid excessive jarring or pounding when installing the light and it will provide years of protection. Storage of the light during "off season" when it does not need to be used will extend the life of the light. Simply place the light indoors where daylight will not hit the solar panel. Flashing will continue until the battery runs out. When you want to use the light again, just follow the same instructions as you would to charge a brand new light.

Mounting Instructions
|
|
| OWLS & HAWKS Four lights mounted at least 10-14 feet in the air on a single post are required. Each light should face a different direction; North, South, East and West.Hawks and owls often attack from low tree limbs, so 10-14 feet will put the lights at eye level. If located on a hill, adjust the Nite Guards lower. If in a valley adjust lights higher. This is critical as the raptors may come in from above or below the lights in these areas. |
|
|
SMALL GROUND PREDATORS
For predators like raccoons, oppossum and skunk,put lights approx. 50 feet apart around your entire perimeter (all four sides of the area) and place them eye level to the predators approx. 10-12 inches off the ground. If the area has sides longer than 50 feet, more lights should be used on each side. |
|
|
LARGE GROUND PREDATORS
For predators like fox, coyote, bobcat, wild boar,mountian lion and bear put lights approx. 100 feet apart around your entire perimeter (all four sides of the area) and place them eye level to the predators which is approx. 20-25 inches off the ground. If the area has sides longer than 100 feet, more lights should be used on each side. |

|
DEER Four Nite Guard lights placed on a single stake 4 feet high, each light facing a different direction. Move the Nite Guard lights and stake every 3 days is absolutely critical as it breaks the pattern that deer may get used to. | |
