ultrasonic cat repellers?

[chrisbonnie]

do they work?

 

a sneaky little cat got too close to the pigeons for comfort today, i was sitting down in the garden, but the little sneak was on top of the shed, only i stood up, i wouldnt have seen him until it was too late, so i think a repeller is the answer, providing they work of course

 

anybody have any advice on these?

 

cheers lads

they do seem to work but the range is limited

the fixed ones work for some cats but not all, the hand helds are no good, by the time you point it at a cat the cats seen you and run any way!

[chrisbonnie]

ive a pretty small back garden,. i was thinking of getting 2 of them, on each end of the loft, waste of money, or worth a punt?

Had two a few years back and was convinced they didnt work - However a friend has been raving about the one he has so plan to try one in the coming weeks. I will let you know the make when i do.

I had one for a few years and wasn't convinced it worked, jack R was better but when I moved in with the ex she had 2 cats. Me being such a cat lover i plugged the ultrasonic in on the landing to stop the cats coming upstairs, one cat would dissapear until it was turned off and the other would curl up and go to sleep by it!

I am sure that they work when you first switch them on. But eventually the cats get the hang of it and will ignore it in favour of getting at your pigeons.

The best deterant is an electric fence. It is quiet, never sleeps and totally reliable. And best of all, no-one need know that you have one.

I have used one for years without the slightest need for me to worry about cats, dogs or foxes. At one time I used a battery operated unit which meant that I had to keep an eye on the level of charge in the battery. These days I have a mains unit. I just have to occasionally make sure that it is not fouled by herbage, and that's it. Once an animal gets to know what it is, they will know the sound and keep well away.

Not if the cats are deaf, or real determine.... be better of pay £50 for an electric fence I reckon.

the best cat deterant is one of your own i used to have a cat and he used to sun bath on top of the loft with the birds walking round him, i had trained him from a kitten not to toucgh the birds

a lot of fanciers i know say this ( you're own cat etc. ) i bought an ultrasonic supposed to do mice, spiders, moths etc...no use at all. isn't there a water sprinkler type for cats..don't know if thats any good

[just ask me]

moved into house that was vacant for a year or so about 20 cats were in the back yard at night couldn't sleep with them also the smell got the one advertised in the racing pigeon all cats gone in 3 days one kept coming back for a about a week dont see him anymore either after a week i get the odd one on his travells to jump on wall but u can see him when he hears the ultrasonic repeller the hair stands on the back of his head then he shoots up wall like he got a good kick up the ar*e

do you know what brand it is? im in Ireland, so if its not in b&q ill have to order it online

 

an electric fence, im a terraced house, no side entrance, but im still looking into that, it would be ideal wouldnt it

[pearse1888]

i had one and i had it for a few weeks thought it must have been working because there was no cats about then one morning i woke up and a big black cat was rubbing its *expletive removed* on it scratching itself i had a few and any i had didnt work waste of time haha

[Guest numpty01]

[chrisbonnie]

i got a sonic one in B&Q earlier, ill see how it does, and keep you informed, but i reckon in the long run, an electric fence is the best option

i'm probably talking sh*t...but don't some garden centres sell dried tiger/lion poo for gardeners to put on their flower beds to deter cats....the smell of a bigger predator....do you live near a zoo (evil)

[little sam]
