Pestbye® Waterproof Cat Repellent - Solar Powered - Quick Fix Ultrasonic Repeller Cat Scarer with Ground Stake

Does the job, keeps cats out of our garden. Have just bought a replacement, the original one probably lasted about 3 years. We could tell when it needed replacing-next doors cat left a present on the lawn

Have been using this product for 6 weeks. The included batteries have run out already but they were only 800mAh (takes 4) and I've found that the solar panel didn't work to prolong their life at all. Granted, there's a slim chance that this could be due to the surrounding trees and bushes but very doubtful. In fact, the solar panel won't work on its own at all. However, the product itself works perfectly on the batteries to keep the guilty cats away and our garden is no longer used as their litter tray. So, overall, I'm very happy and have invested in some 2500mAh rechargeables to keep it going longer and save on battery costs. Rated 4 stars due to the short battery life and poor performance of the solar panel, but bearing in mind the cost of the product and its effectiveness.

Great cat repellent, very easy to setup. I also use garlic repellent granules to educate the cat to develop a new habit. You should see results within a few days. Cats soon learn to go somewhere else.

This makes a slight, Very light clicking noise.& not effective at all. The sensor does work as it lights blue which in itself lets me know if a cats in my garden, If or when I happen to look at it at night.My previous one from my supermarket was much better.

Got this in the summer and placed it in full sunlight. Seemed to keep the cats from messing in the front garden, and could easily be seen working when triggered by somebody passing in front of it. After a couple of months I noticed that the light didn't come on anymore when I passed by. Looks like the solar panel is not big enough to generate the power required to keep it fully charged unless it's a bright summers day. It will come on if it gets a good amount of sunlight, but certainly doesn't work all day like it used to.

After being dogged by the local feline menagerie with anal deposits all over my lawn I tried this device after a recommendation by someone at work. I got one (not solar powered) for my lower lawn and the amount of poo definitely reduced. The side effect was an increase of the stuff on my upper lawn, which is when I discovered the solar powered equivalent. Now both lawns have protection and both are free of unbidden messages. One thing to bear in mind is that if you allow young people in your garden they are very likely to get quite upset because their young ears are receptive to the high frequency sounds emitted by the devices. This is not a problem for me though; indeed, I get the added benefit of deterring young hooligans.Disclaimer: I have also lined my lawn borders with pellets of lion poo so this may well be helping to keep the cat population at bay. However, I observed that its effectiveness on its own had begun to wane, which is why I'm using these devices as an additional weapon.A note on battery life - the non solar powered one has been in use for over a year and I've only had to change the batteries once. The solar powered one (which is really a solar assisted one, since it still needs batteries) is too new for me to comment on battery life but it will be interesting to see if they last longer in that one.

It worked well for the first two weeks, I was so happy that I got my back garden back from the cat, than my bubbles burst it stop work. I wouldn't recommend it. Solar panel doesn't work. Rubbish.

I bought this on 25th February. I charged the batteries before installing them.The unit isn't in direct sunlight but there is a blue light which comes on when movement is detected and it is still happening today 12th March. (nearly 3 weeks on).I don't know how effective it is at keeping cats away but I haven't seen any since.
