The professor who refused to give up

It started at home

Örjan Johansson has always had an interest in sound and how it affects us. He trained as a civil engineer and continued as a researcher at Luleå University of Technology (LTU), where he is now a professor of technical acoustics. But his biggest breakthrough did not come in the lab – it started at home.

In the family house, he was tormented, like many other homeowners, by mice and rats. Traps, poison, ultrasonic devices – nothing helped. The problem sparked a thought: if no solution works, why not create one yourself – based on real science?

Why the common repellents do not work

When Örjan began investigating the market, he saw the same pattern: cheap ultrasonic devices based on a single high-frequency tone. Mice and rats are smart. When the sound poses no threat, they quickly learn to ignore it. The result is that the repellents lose effectiveness in just a few days.

Tests from, among others, Villaägarna confirmed the suspicion: the devices were a scam. The mice literally walked right over the devices – completely unaffected.

From theory to patented technology

With over 20 years of experience in acoustics, Örjan enlisted the help of researchers at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Together, they mapped how different sound patterns affect the rodents' nervous system. The focus was on the so-called reptilian brain – the part of the brain that controls reflexes for flight and survival.

After several years of work in the lab, they managed to construct sound sequences that the rodents cannot get used to. It is not about volume, but about variation and signal patterns that are subconsciously interpreted as life-threatening. The result was a patented Swedish innovation – Repello.

Scientifically documented effect

The technology was tested in practical studies, including in a basement of a multi-family house with a severe rat invasion. Cameras documented how 48 rats decreased to zero. The few that dared to return quickly turned back – and the effect lasted throughout the entire test period.

This time there were no doubts. Repello demonstrated a scientifically documented effect – something that no other rat or mouse repellent on the market had previously been able to prove.

The results form the basis for a study published by researchers at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU).

From research to your home

What began as a professor's personal battle against rats and mice has developed into a patented Swedish innovation that has already changed how we view pest control. Where other solutions promise but fail, Repello demonstrates scientifically proven effectiveness – time after time.

In practice, this means you avoid the scratching in the walls, the damaged wiring, and the fear of diseases. Instead, you get a home that is safe, toxin-free, and protected.

Now you can benefit from the same technology that has convinced the scientific community – order your Repello today and make your home a place where neither rats nor mice dare to stay.

Ready, set, rodent-free

Repello is easy to install, completely maintenance-free, and ready to start protecting immediately.
