WHY IS THE HORNET BETTER THAN AIR-ACTIVATED DEER WHISTLES?
A. The Hornet is electronically operated, not air-flow activated, so it does not rely on wind speed and is effective at any vehicle speed. Typical deer whistles require vehicle speeds of 30-50 miles per hour before they are effective. The range of The Hornet’s sonic wave is 3 to 5 times greater than deer whistles, Because The Hornet is electronic, it is not affected by debris, rain and snow that can block a deer whistle and, unknown to the driver, preventing it from working. The Hornet turns on and off, so you know that it is working. Also if you are driving with an air activated deer whistle and have a 20 mph tail wind you must add 20 to the above noted required speed to get them to work at all.
