RatKil Animal Repeller with Water Spray – Motion Activated Sprinkler for Garden Perfect As A Cat Repeller, Pigeon Deterrent, Fox Repellent & Bird Scarer – Chemical Free Pest Control for Gardens

Neighbourhood cats were pooping in our garden on a regular basis. Since installing this device there have been no more poops to clean up. We once caught a cat attempting entry into the garden and as soon as water started spraying they ran out faster than you can say "I'll find somewhere else to do my business". Works perfectly as advertised.

Worked fine and deterred cats ... Result I thought ! Cats moved to another part of the garden... when I moved device and switched on again .... water spraying everywhere - the black screw part in front of where the hose attaches - has split ... We had only had it 2 Months.. Contacted amazon customer service - directed to Ratkil site... still waiting on a reply. All we needed was a small replacement part - currently the device is hopeless.. and the cats have free rein .. Unimpressed !

Very effective product that was good value for money. Strong sturdy design with a long battery life.

Brilliant bit of kit to deter the local cats and foxes. We've tried other brands and they fail or leak but this one is superb. We're the only house without a cat or dog, so all the local moggies treat our garden like a toilet. This stopped them in a day! The foxes aren't so bothered, they wander past but have stopped pooping. It's also caught a few delivery drivers and cold-callers! Good quality and easy to set up onto a hose.

Purchased this as a cat had decided that my flower bed was it's new litter tray. Having a dog a didn't think it would be a good idea to get an ultrasonic type of repeller, so plumpt for this one. Setting it up was easy enough and it does seemed to have worked as no more cat 💩 in my flower bed. I usually set it up to use during the night, I have an expanding hose which holds about 5liters of water.I pressurise the hose between the tap and the repeller then turn off the tap. After the first few days the hose was empty in the morning indicating the sensor had been triggered, after that the hose remained just about full, indicating it had not been triggered. My only negative observation is the sensor cannot easily be switched off, you have to remove the batteries, but overall it's great.

This was great for 1 night then the head stopped turning, i sent 2 messages to try and troubleshoot the problem but had no reply back so instead got a refund through amazon, these products are actually great a keeping foxes from digging all over the garden but unfortunately this one stopped working and doesn't spray very far even with a fully open tap.

Update: Unfortunately has to lose another star as the second one has now broken after just a few weeks. The thread has snapped off at the bottom of the plastic extension tube. A good product let down again by poor materials. I would now hesitate to recommend this 😥 Works well to deter a very persistent local heron and several cats that have been using my garden as a litter tray. However, it must lose one star for poorly fitting plastic end cap that blew off after just one day and would not stay on due to very poor threads on the ground spike. I returned it for a replacement and immediately changed the plastic cap for a brass one. Fitted it with plenty of PTFE tape and tightened it carefully but firmly by hand only. No problems since. Overall I would recommend it but with the above modification.

Don’t waste ya money on this. It is more hassle than it’s worth. I brought this to scare off foxes. Instructions are printed out but poor to read. I connected it up to my hose and it does spray out water when activated. Unfortunately it sprays water in a 270 degree arc so saturates stuff well beyond the zone you want it to. No online back up. Put me boot through it in the end. CRAP. Avoid. I only gave it 1 star because I had to. It’s not worth the 1 star.

Very 👍 good

The distance for the sensor is too great and you cannot change it. In a small backyard my dogs trigger it too easily, and aren't unable to move around without setting the sprinkler off. Also, the watering area is too great not suitable for a small area.
