Smart Cat Repeller Battery Powered

So thrilled that this really works. I had a real problem with cats constantly soiling the gravel at the front of my house. Since I installed this gadget the area has stayed clean. Wish that I had bought two though as the little sod has just recently discovered a different area of the garden that obviously is just out of range and has started up again, so I need to buy another one!

No cats poo in the garden.The dog doesn't seem bothered by it.

The best cat repellent. Tried many. None have an IP rating as good as this, meaning it can be safely left out in heavy rain unlike others ive tried. But the proof is in the pudding, no cat fouling since I put this in my flower bed and it's been almost 2 months and batteries still going strong. Well worth the money, dont bother with any other cat repellent. This is the real deal, you will not be disappointed.

As far as I can tell, these devices appear to be lumps of plastic, with no functioning electronics inside them whatsoever. I have bought brand new batteries. They are valid for another 10 years. I have tested them in a torch. They work. But I put them into these devices (I bought 2) & nothing happens at all. Now, whether the sound produced is completely inaudible to the human ear, or just largely inaudible, I don't know. Perhaps I wouldn't expect to be able to hear anything. However, I have set the switches for the strobe lights to flash on detection, so at the very least, that should be happening. But no signs of life at all. In fact, even if I shouldn't expect to hear any noise, if these do actually do what they are supposed to do, then you might have expected my cat, lying asleep in his basket, to have reacted in some way to whatever frequencies are allegedly being produced when I wave my hands in front of the sensor, or walk directly in front of it. These are simply very expensive bits of plastic, that perform no discernible function whatsoever, I'm afraid. Rather unbelievable

The media could not be loaded. Easy setup two days in and all clear

Set for Cat but the Dog pins his ears when it goes off. Still waiting for the cat to show up, it's not been in my garden yet (cctv) so I don't know if it works yet. will update once the cat shows up on cctv

Purchase two Smart Cat Repellers to deter squirrels from stripping our apple tree. Device description in Amazon (uk) indicates the devices work with a wide variety of pests running from cockroaches to foxes with Cats, dogs , squirrels, rats and mice in-between. The instruction manual has a table giving sensitivity and frequency setting for each type of ‘pest’. Sadly the manual uses number settings and the device employed increasing sized black dots on the thumbwheels. There is no indication whether ‘1’ refers to a small dot or a large dot. The sensitivity thumbwheel has 5 levels of dots but the manual implies there are 7 levels. The construction of the device is excellently rugged. While in use it both were left outside in heavy rain which did penetrate the case but did not affect operation. The sensitivity (PIR sensitivity/pest size) control appeared to be random whatever the setting except in the ‘off’ position which stopped any triggering. The ultrasonic transducer made audible clicking sounds when triggered confirming the device was operational. When triggered the device switched on a blue LED and optionally flashed an intense white LED. The RF link between two devices worked very well. The devices can be set to exercise a 5 sec delay before triggering following a trigger from the other device. I used the new Duracell 200% longer lasting batteries (4xAA each device =~£10) - lasted 1 week with the settings I used (1 device sensitivity = min, other max & frequency midrange) switching off the devices at night (squirrels operate in daylight/human time only). The squirrels were totally unaffected and have entirely stripped the apple tree. Contacted supplier ( Promise) via email for advise which was a waste of time as they insisted the devices were for Cats only (as per the device’s marketing description. Why have sensitivity and frequency controls if it is for only cats beats me. Returned both devices and Amazon very kindly refunded me in full - best thing about the whole experience.Now trying PIR controlled water spray to protect our Plum tree. This device is satisfying as it makes lots of racket and keeps the tree well irrigated but the little ‘rascals’ are now stripping our Victoria Plum tree before the fruit is suitably ripe. I think they quite enjoy a ‘shower’ and if they don’t they just move to a safe dry spot in the tree. I don’t think I’m going to win this war using a humane strategy!!!Despite the good build quality of the Smart Cat Repeller I would not both purchasing it for anything other than Cats (that’s all Promise will give support for) and I would be very surprised if it even works with Cats (I’m sure the water spay device will work much better!)

The product states that it's for use as a cat repeller, however having examined the unit, and it's instructions for use, it has features for insect: spiders, rodents: rats & mice etc though to cats & foxes.I was interested in the fact that the supply company, made no mention of the other features, So I conducted tests using a Frequency counter and found that the range of each feature, was in the range of frequency annoyance to all animals quoted.I have had good success with the Rodent setting, just using the setting plus strobe light. No Rats seen since first triggering.I rate the product as good, with the caviat that the different animal settings take a while to assertain.
