Cordless Ultrasonic Repeller for Yard and Garden Review.
"Worked great for me! Location matters." 2010-03-02
By techno junkie on limited budget (CA, USA)
I have the neighbor's cats that use the area under my master bedroom window for their own personal litter box.. It drives me crazy! I put one of these on a 3 foot post under my window and no droppings. The whole wall is now protected. I know it works because the cats now use the other wall that is out of range of the first repeller.
Now I bought another one for that wall. It can't come soon enough.
Location matters. I first had the unit on a fence in the backyard. It was not proteced by rain or sun. It did not work well there and made a loud noice. Under my window it is protected from the rain and the sun and it work perfectly.
Be sure you have it at least 3 feet off the ground and use quality batteries.
Pros:
Inexpensive and it works to keep cats away!
Cons:
Uses a lot of batteries. (6 C batteries)
"works for us" 2010-02-28
By C. Marin (Whittier, CA USA)
We have an outdoor fishpond and have had problems with raccoons through the years. We can successfully trap them but now that animal control will no longer pick them up, we had to come up with a different solution. I did not expect this device to work, but we've had no raccoons since we set it up near the pond one year ago. We do bring ours into our covered patio area when rain is expected, and we had to change batteries after about 6 months. It's easy to tell if new ones are needed if the red light doesn't turn on when you push the button. By the way, a big dog also works well, but we are dog less now that we travel more.

We got this unit to stop the stray cats climbing on the car that we parked out of the garage.
It really works. After the unit was installed, no more cat prints on the hood & on the roof
of the car.
"cats be gone" 2009-12-14
By John W. Pickett (Orlando, FL)
I use this item in Orlando, and I have two cars on the outside of my house. I find that they work really well, and I am ordering two more for a friend. I have not had a cat get on my cars in two weeks. I like the fact that it shuts off automatically when not in use and comes on when an animal (cat) comes in the radius that makes it go on automatically. I place one on my trunk and one on the hood. I go one step further in I have glued 6 magnets on the bottom of the unit and placed a clear piece of tape over them, so it won't scratch the car. In this way it will stay where you put it.
"Good-bye neighbor CATS" 2009-11-01
By Tj Johnson (Arizona)
This has worked for me. I can see the red led light "on" and so when the batteries need to be replaced~~I think that red led light will be "off", and know it is time to replace the batteries. It also has an "off-on" switch~~so when the cats are gone for good...I can bring it back into the house to store it.
I used my small white plastic end table and placed the Repeller on it. Then left it where the cats walk by the side of my house~~and I haven't seen them back.
But then I saw they were drinking from my fountain... I just moved the table to another end of my back yard to be close to the fountain~~and it must be working because I haven't seen any more CATS.
I do wish there would be a leash-law for CATS!!! Dang it!! TJ
