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

It certainly seems to be working, no cat 💩 in my flower bed since I installed it so thumbs up 👍🏼

So here's why I "don't like it" (thats what the two star rating says, not me personally) just one day after excitedly setting it up. A perfectly piled pile of poo appeared in my flower bed overnight. I spent months creating a tidy space in the back garden of my new home. As soon as the flower beds were created, an invisible intruder starting making a nightly deposit which I faithfully picked up and disposed every morning. Then I researched cat repellents and after several failed sprays and other natural options I finally found success. I cluttered up the beds with cut branches of holly and rose stalks. In between this I laid out a few brooms, some long twigs and a solitary prickly potted plant. While the arrangement happily didn't suit the intruder, the flower beds looked like a garbage disposal site. Not quite the look I was going for. But the deposits were rare. Yesterday I was excited to set up the Pestbye equipment and it appeared to be sending the signals at the correct angles. I left one bed full of the cuttings and clutter and cleared the other beds, making them nice and beautiful. Just to help the Pestbye, I also sprayed some "Doff Cat and dog" repellant spay on the beds. Surely that would be enough. NO, it wasn't :-(( This morning the cluttered bed was clear, but there it was, on the clear bed, in the morning, proud and piled high. "Its" shape was one of an "unhurried" effort. Today the cuttings and clutter have gone back on the bed. I will leave the Pestbye there for a month as instructed, but if there are no further deposits, I'm not sure if I can give credit to Pestbye , or to my unsightly prickly collection. UPDATE(19/08/16) :I changed the angle and positioning of the two units and added more holly cuttings. No cat poo in sight :-) However the next day the familiar stink rose from the other side of the garden in another bed :-( I filled it up with holly cuttings and no Pestbye yet and no cat poo there either. UPDATE : 06/12/16: Huge poo in direct sight of Pestbye unit, where holly cuttings blew away in recent bad weather. Deeply dejected :-( UPDATE : 10/09/16. I figured the sound must irritate the culprits, but maybe the cat was eluding the motion sensor. So I "planted" 2 sets (4 units) in plant pots at opposite ends of the garden, with the plant leaves activating the device when the breeze moved the leaves in the plant pot. I also cleared away the rakes and spades and sticks from the beds (not the holly cuttings just yet) to see what would happen. 2 days -no "deposits"! I turn off the units in the morning, and on at dusk. Lets see how long the batteries last. Fingers crossed! Rating updated to 3 stars today UPDATE: 27/09/2016: Not a deposit in sight!! I think we have a result..So the key is the outwit the cat, by keeping the unit sporadically active using the swaying motion of leaves of a potted plant or shrub-in 4 different locations. Yes it will mean more battery usage, but with nothing horrible and smelly in sight I think its worth it! ( I saw an almost lynx size wild cat go around my garden and across the road one early morning last week! Wonder if this was my worthy adversary!) rating updated to 4 UPDATE: 26/11/16. Its cold, so I hardly go out, but when I do I don't seem to smell the cat deposits like before. This afternoon I peeked out and look who I saw sunning himself (picture of offender..(finally!) enclosed) Grrr..This after I have 4 units installed. One unit visible flush against the fence. Should I check the beds ..or keep calm till spring..hmm..

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.

I bought these to deter cats from constantly fouling on my lawn. It happens on my front lawn and also the lawn at the side of the property. Since installing 2 of these 14 days ago I've noticed that squirrels and birds are no longer playing in the area that the sonic repellant effects. The cats however, couldn't care less, and have fouled right in front of each sensor on a daily basis. I clear this up every single day and also lay down orange and citrus peel to help deter but with no luck. They keep coming and going. We have numerous feral cats where I live and even though it's only 2 specific cats that keep fouling each part of the garden, I've seen numerous other cats happily strolling past the sensors without a care in the world. I have of course checked the sensors are working on numerous occasions. They both trigger instantly and from a wide angle. I can pick up on some of the audible clicks. So they are both working as they should. The simple fact is that they DO NOT WORK ON CATS. I'll be sending mine back for a refund and using money to get a pir triggered water squirting device as this seems to be the only guaranteed option.

We live in a neighbourhood with many cats. We do not own a cat. Most of the neighbourhood cats like to use our vegetable garden as a litter tray, particularly at this time of year when few plants have established. We try everything, stakes at angles, cat repellent powder and several cat scarers. Our last one lasted 2x years which was reasonable as although they are "weatherproof" IP44 isn't enough to survive many winters. We've had solar ones but the solar panel always dies. Bought these as a pair to try to cover all entries. They state it can take a few weeks to be fully effective as cats poop in a routine. Initially the cats pooed again but they now appear put off. They disturb the earth but no droppings currently. Using in conjunction with repellent powder. Longevity will be the question. So far I'm reasonably happy.

These cat carers definitely keep the cats off my garden as I no longer have cat mess. Good value for the money.

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.

Easy to install. Seems to be working fine, see the attached video where the cat is obviously changing direction!

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.
