Pestbye® Battery Operated Motion Activated Waterproof Cat Repellent Quick Fix Ultrasonic Cat Scarer with Ground Stake - Set of 3

Update after a week's usage: No cats caught on our security cameras since day after installing. If it were just a couple of says, I'd say coincidence. After a week, it has to be this little repellent gadget, which is doing its job. So happy. I won't have to change the batteries in the cameras every few weeks now. Still haven't decided where to put the third one though. Observation based n 24 hour's usage so far. Bought these after getting really xxxx'd off at the cat from across the road triggering our security cameras at least 5 - 6 times a day. Bought the 3 pack and installed 2. We have a long thin drive and I put one at each end, setting the sensitivity to medium and the frequency to 5, to scare off cats. Well, the offending feline don't like. It don't like it one bit. Up to today, it slowly walked up and down the drive, taking it's time and almost daring us to come out and scare it away. It's like it knew it was being filmed and just didn't care. This morning, we captured it on the cameras and it shot through the drive like it had a lit petard up it's you know what (Before anyone shops me to the RSPCA, I am guessing. I have no experience of cats, or an other living organism, with lit petards up anywhere, OK? It's just a figure of speech) Anyway, it clearly didn't like whatever it was hearing because, both coming and going, it couldn't vacate the drive fast enough. Hopefully it will get the message soon. Anyway, it seems to work a treat, so I would definitely recommend this if you're having cat problems. Now, where to put the third one?

We have been buying these cat carers for a number of years now and we always review again each time we reorder. We find that these scarers are a deterant in our wrap round front, side and back garden, noticing when the batteries run out and not spotted the cats start to take their chances again leaving their calling card! Reading other reviews some cats walk past them. We wonder if the scarers need the settings upped, or maybe like humans some cats have hearing problems and would walk past a pneumatic drill without a flinch. These cat scarers require some assembly as the ground spike needs to be attached. This is the most difficult part getting the screws in at what is an awkward angle and the screws are not magnetic so hard to keep them in place (but better screws than our previous order). Put the spike on first not the batteries in as the scarer will activate all the time whilst you are handling it especially if the settings are turned up. Some children can hear the clicking sound the scarers make and adults may if the settings are high. We have ours set at three quarters round and hear nothing, but the cats do as if they are picked up by the scarer activating they run so fast and can't get away quick enough let alone leave anything behind in the garden. Previous orders of this item have come in plain buff boxes in a larger buff box. This latest order came nicely packaged in 3 printed boxes and a large outer printed box displaying the contents. The contents look the same along with the more professional looking packaging. Our thoughts as the packaging has changed has any other improvement been made, but all looks the same. When we first started buying these scarers they seemed to last a long time. Subsequent orders they seem to have had a shorter life. The cost of replacing multiple scarers as they fail can be quite expensive on top of battery cost. We use 4 rechargeable batteries in each as much cheaper than the one-use type. We have a spare set so there's never really much time where the scarers are inactive. Batteries last longer in areas were the scarers are least activated and nobody walking past or kids playing (take them out) and put back later. If facing a pavement where people are walking batteries will drain quickly. Our biggest bug bear is that these scarers are advertised as waterproof and can stop out in all weather conditions. Stop out in all conditions yes, waterproof no. We have never found these to be waterproof despite it saying that on the box. Some of ours have failed over time for reasons unknown, however, we've had many that have clearly failed because water has found its way into the battery compartment where the connections and the battery tops have both gone rusty. Would suggest if watering the garden remove the scarer or water around it. All that said, these do the job they were puchased for, we are not troubled by visiting cats. However we would like to see these scarers living up to their advertised description of being waterproof which could be corrected somewhat by changing the design. If the batteries were to be inserted from the bottom or a wrap around back cover that may help to prevent leaking and rusting happening and prolong the life.

Repeat order. Last purchased in 2018 so lasted well but more importantly NO MORE CATS!!

I have bought these previously and was pleased but my recent purchase has been terrible 😔. I contacted the company to state that it was eating through batteries after only one month I have changed the batteries twice! I got feedback from them stating I had to wait 4 weeks for return s, that the product could have overuse! And that it took the animals weeks to realise the device was not moving. Utterly disgusting and disappointed. Went through Amazon customer service and got a result in seconds. Returned and full refund!

The PIR's work well and the range is great both laterally and distance but the units eat batteries and foxes aren't deterred. No guidance within the packs on which frequency to adopt for cats v foxes and since we humans can't hear the emitted sound . . . . . . . .

Sceptical with all the mixed reviews but plunged into buying these as I was getting sick and tired of the mess the foxes were leaving in my garden and using it as a thoroughfare into neighbouring properties.. Anyway, product is a s described and I didn’t find the assembly hard at all.. used a screwdriver and held on to the nut with my thumb until it was securely fixed.. yes a little fiddly but no major issue. Concerned that the instructions were not clear as to what the dials were meant to do and what settings were ideal for each purpose.. anyway, easily resolved by trial and error.. First few days I was beginning to think this was a hopeless purchase and as I covered up the holes that were dug underneath the fence on the day of installing I found that this product wasn’t working as the holes were dug up again.. Anyway, a few days later SUCCESS!! No more fox poo and no more holesdug so I am overwhelmed!! This works a treat and for the sake of a handful of batteries every month this is a small price. Those of you who are looking to deter squirrels then you will be disappointed, though foxes have gone I am still seeing the same amount of squirrels.. Not what I was looking to deter but would have liked them to have done one too.. Great purchase and 5 stars from me!

Bought this due to being ostensibly waterproof, a UK company and having variable mounting (including a sturdy zinc plated ground spike) and frequency options. It initially appeared to perform well, certainly sensing me in the detection zone. Unfortunately, after a couple of dry weeks, we had our first rain, and moisture appeared in the PIR “lens”, presumably, from this, the chance of it surviving the winter are slim at best. Thankfully this was within the return window, so back it went. Disappointing to say the least, you would think a UK company might anticipate the weather.

I bought these on the recommendation of other reviews. We had a persistent problem with a fox visiting the garden at night and leaving a mess day after day. Our garden is about 200m2 with a fenced off raised-bed area so I reckoned I needed three at least to cover most of the garden effectively. Two for the grass and one for the raised beds. We have had no mess at all in the garden for three months. Just once, right at the end or the raised beds when I realised that the batteries had run out. I had them on medium sensitivity and dog/fox setting (4-6). So the batteries lasted about 3 months and the product seems to be totally effective so far. We are very pleased. Two years later: I have been able to prevent foxes coming in as well by stretching some chicken wire at the end of our garden. However one unit lasted one year before it stopped working. The other two have now become useless. The battery compartments have signs of rust and whether it is that or water inside (visibly) they have all failed now, permanently. So they worked perfectly for a year, maybe two. This makes them quite expensive in my opinion, but there is not much alternative to buying new ones this year I suppose.

Realmente él área cubierta por los varios aparatos puestos hace que los gatos lo esquiven, pero el producto no avisa que los niños también oyen el ultrasonido que produce y dicen que les es molesto y cefaleas.

Pour faire fuir les chats mais l efficacité et moyens

Das Produkt ist robust aufgebaut und leicht einzustellen. Besonders gut gefällt mir der Erdspiess aus Metall, der sich auch in normale Gartenerde ohne Beschädigung einbringen lässt.

Es una pena iban muy bien ya los tres meses ya no hacen efecto,una mala compra 50€ tirados
