Nothing missing in the morning.

Then don't guess. Send a photo or a rough sketch of your garden to [email protected], tell us where the animals come in, and we will tell you. Often the answer is 1. If it's 3 and that's more than you want to spend, we will say that too.

No. Deer and boar hear far more than we do, so the sound that moves them sits at a level that is fine in a residential garden. No sirens, no alarms, no music. The volume is adjustable, and it only makes a sound when an animal is actually there, which for most gardens is a handful of times a night.

It depends if you want it to. Flox is trained on animal species only. By default it only focuses on wildlife. This means your dogs, cats, chickens & co won’t be bothered. On the other hand, if you don’t want cats, dogs & co in your garden or around your bird feeders, you can simply change the setting to guide them safely away from your garden too.

This is the one thing all other deterrents fail at, and the reason most of our waitlist wrote to us. Flox changes its response every single time, so there is no pattern to learn. Håkan Cajander tested it for a year on farmland and found it as effective at the end as at the start. One of our farmers found the opposite of habituation, the geese avoided the field more the longer the system ran.

No. Nothing physical happens to them. We do not hurt their hearing, and we do not cause unnecessary stress. They hear just a warning signal that means danger in their own language, they leave, and they are fine. WWF's carnivore expert called it a real solution for coexistence, which is the only review we really wanted.

No. Flox works on animals that are big enough it can see, and species it knows. Small birds, lugs, insects and burrowing rodents are outside what it does.

About 13,500ft² (1257m²), over a 90 degree arc reaching up to 131ft (40m). Bigger animals are detected from further away. If your garden is long, oddly shaped, or has animals coming from 2 directions, write to us at [email protected] and we will tell you honestly how many units you need. Sometimes the answer is 1.

No problem. You can set up HOME in a way that it only protects the areas where you don’t want wildlife. Via our settings, you are also in full control of which species you want in your garden and which you want to guide away. You don’t want deer munching your produce, but would love to keep the foxes around? No problem, simply change the settings in seconds. Plus, our devices only deter deer, boar & co. when they are closer than 100-130ft (30-40m). So you can still watch our local wildlife and have a beautiful garden.

Yes, to set it up and to see your log. If the Wi-Fi drops, the unit keeps detecting and responding on its own and syncs later. For land with no connection at all, Flox Edge is the version built for that.

No permits are needed for Flox Home as far as we know. It makes no permanent structure, harms nothing, and stays within normal residential sound levels. Rules vary by country, so if you want certainty for your address, ask us and we will look into your case with you.

Because we do not want to take full payment for something that is not produced yet. The deposit reserves your place and tells us the demand is real. The rest is only due when you decide to back our Kickstarter campaign. And even then, your money will be returned if the campaign is not successful.

Then you get every cent back, automatically, without asking. If we do not reach the needed reservations to go ahead with production, refunds will be sent out and we will let you know what we learned.

You can't build a fence tall enough. You can build one they can hear. A red deer clears ~ 6ft (2m), boar go under rather than over, and a fence that stops both costs more than most gardens are worth. Flox works on the animal's decision instead of its legs. Nothing to dig, nothing to look at from the kitchen window.

That box played the same sound at everything, until the animals learned it meant nothing. Flox identifies the species first, then answers it in a way it has not heard from you before. That is why it still works in month 12.
