Pestbye® Battery Operated Cat Repellent V2 - Easy to Use Ultrasonic Cat Scarer with HyperResonance Frequency - Set of 2

Fabulous! I didn’t write an immediate review because I wanted to wait the month to see if it worked. Then I forgot! But I have just recommended it to my daughter who is being plagued by squirrels in her garden. I have ordered two for her. It will be interesting to see whether they work as well with squirrels. As described, in our garden the cat scarers did not achieve the complete removal of all cats in the first month. Suddenly the huge numbers of cats in our garden became completely conspicuous by their absence! We bought our two units in July 2017 and after the initial period there has only been one cat seen in our garden and this was when we forgot to replace the batteries!!! No more of the copious amounts of cat poo! No more dead birds in my garden! No more fighting cats and accompanying vocals under my window! Great! Really works for me. This animal lover had become a cat hater. Now I can love them again, from a distance. As described previously I bought these for my daughter who is inundated with squirrels. Sad to say it did not work as well for her as it did for us. The cats couldn’t hack it and we have remained a cat free zone. The squirrels sadly are not too keen, but the spoils of bird food are so tempting that they have been able to ignore most of the sound emitted from the device. So in summary, an amazing cat deterrent but not so good with squirrels. I suppose the cats still have to catch the birds, for the squirrels, the bird food is there for the taking. They are clever enough to realise that.

We have neighbours, whose cats seem to enjoy leaving their insides, outside over my lawn and its borders. (God knows what they get fed). With lawn mowing season approaching - and a newly crawling baby nephew, I needed some feline "attitude adjustment" tool. M18 Claymore mines aren’t available on Amazon, but the Pestbye device appeared to have many similarities. Its a directional, heat triggered sentry device, which stands mutely, diligently, waiting around the clock in all weathers…. They are even olive drab and silent to humans, so you only upset the cat’s sensitivities, and not its owner! If you're expecting to see cats explode, or stagger around clutching their ears like an Edward Munch picture – you won’t. The results are subtle and may take a few days. Remember, you’re dealing with a spoiled feline mind that has been cultivated to do exactly what it wants, when it wants, and (until you buy this) wherever it wants! You get two such devices, which have a metal pole at the rear, allowing you to position the device to target a specific area, or create a “crossfire” of ultra-sonic sound across your yard. There's an opaque censor on the front, which picks up movement, and glows purply red when triggered - so you can see when it’s working. (Well, you can’t hear it otherwise!) The arc of coverage is particularly impressive - about 90 degrees straight forward, but mainly horizontal. I presume it only omits a noise while the target is in the censor arc, so you may want to position it low, at cat height in order to increase the target’s time in the zone. Each scarer works on three AA batteries, with a battery box that uses four, very fine Philips screws. (That's a serious design flaw as you need the right watchmaker tools to undo it, and the screws will stick, go rusty and probably get chewed up when being removed!) However, in my experience the devices appear to have worked a treat. Having cleared the scene of all previous “kitty crimes”, I cleared lines of sight of foliage and interlocked the beams to get my message home - and in stereo! There has consequently been a complete failure by the culprits to "reoffend." Sure, they do move through the garden, but now its swiftly and avoiding our former, mutual “ambush” site. So, expect to relocate your devices frequently as they learn the blind spots. I found these devices good value for money and mean that I can now smile openly again, while strimming the lawn.

So I’m truly torn on how to review this product, you could say I’m on the fence…. ( get the joke!… if you don’t see the picks) On one hand the cat poop has stopped but on the other hand we have had some cats still in the garden and they appear to be having a “chat” when we came home the other day. I’m not sure if this is a strategical talk on how to disarm the devices or just a casual chat amongst feline friends , either way I’m on alert! They were by the garden ( on the fence ) but not in the garden so it must be working…right…. After one cat legged it I did a “test” to see if the other cat reacted at all to the device…. It didn’t. However the poop has still gone and I’m happy about that. What I can say is that this product is slightly different to the neighbours ones I have seen and heard. This one does a slight ticking noice and what I can assume is going up and down the ultrasonic wave lengths which unsettles the cat. Upon reading the product info this one is different to most as it only goes off when it detects body heat. Most go off with movement be it a living creature or a bush moving in the wind. This then shows the cat that it is their presence which is making it go off, thus deterring it from being near the machine. It also saves on the batteries Top tip is to move it about a bit so the cats don’t know where it is all the time. It works as we have a lot less poop now in the garden , we were having to clear up everyday , now it is every week or two. Slow but surly it’s stopping the habit from the next door neighbours new cats. Would recommend

Didn’t help

Avevo già un prodotto simile in un punto del cortile adiacente alla mia abitazione e ne ripresi altri perchè li trovo funzionali all'obiettivo di allontanare i gatti randagi.

Beaucoup de chats dans les environs et toujours des toilettes dans notre jardin. Mais plus maintenant, ces ultrasons Chat Pulsbye de Répulsifs sont parfaits. Certainement les acheter.

Da die meisten Nachbarn Katzen haben, nur wir bedingt durch zu wenig Zeit keine Haustiere halten, wurde unser Grundstück von den Nachbarskatzen leider zum Katzenklo der Umgebung gewählt. Dieses lästige Übel hat sich durch den Einsatz dieses Katzenvertreibers nach ca. 1 Monat nun endlich tierschonend erledigt. Allerdings muß man Geduld bringen. Durch unsere Außenkameras konnten wir in den ersten Einsatztagen beochten, dass die Katzen nicht den Eindruck machten, sich wirklich an den Geräten zu stören. Es wurde weiterhin lustig durchs Grundstück gelaufen. Allerdings wurde schon nach kurzer Zeit kein Stop mehr für die Erledigung eines "Geschäftes" eingelegt. Die Katzen laufen dabei nicht wirklich schnell weg, aber sie verlassen halt den Garten auch wieder ohne sich irgendwo länger aufzuhalten. Mit der Zeit regestrierten die Außenkameras immer weniger Bewegungen von Katzen in unserem Garten. Nach ca. 1 Monat waren wir dann so ziemlich frei von Katzen - man sieht sie ums Grundstrück herumstreichen aber sie kommen nicht mehr aufs Grundstück. Also bevor man zu schnell die Flinte ins Korn schmeißt, die Teile ca. 1-2 Monate stehen lassen und beobachten was in der Zeit passiert. Hier noch einige Tipps zur Positionierung der Katzenvertreiber: - Position so wählen, daß die Tiere sich seitlich nähern, dann reagiert der Bewegungsmelder besser - Der Bewegungsmelder springt schon ab einer Entfernung von ca. 6-7 m an, man kann ihn also ruhig in einer entfernten Ecke positionieren Positiver Nebeneffekt dieser Katzenvertreiber nach ca. 2 Monaten: Unsere Population an Vögeln im Garten ist enorm gewachsen. Auch brüten jetzt Vögel bei uns im Garten, da sie nicht mehr von den Katzen gestört werden.

Lo compre hace un año, lo tuve todo el verano y no sirve para nada. Los gatos como si nada, emitía el ultrasonido perfectamente pero ni se inmutaban. Un dinero tirado.
