Pestbye® Waterproof Ultrasonic Cat Repeller and Scarer with Ground Stake (Battery Powered)

I recently took-up slate chippings at the front of my house and replaced them with a Cotswold stone. I had no inkling that a couple of months later the neighbour's cat would suddenly decide to use it prolifically as a litter tray - eventually three times in four days leading-up to the installation of my new cat scarer. I read the reviews and chose the PestBye in the hope that this would resolve the problem! It arrived in a plain box (inside the usual Amazon packaging) with minimal instructions. It requires 4 AA batteries (not included) and it is fairly self explanatory to assemble, simply put the batteries in, put the rubber seal around the back and use the four screws to attach the battery cover. I couldn't get the battery cover to be absolutely flush and the screws wouldn't go all the way in and I didn't want to over-tighten at the risk of splitting the plastic, but with the rubber seal I think it should be waterproof (time will tell and I'll update on here if it isn't!). I am using it on a stake rather than attaching it to a wall (the stake was fairly easy to attach and drive into the ground - so that the unit was 4 inches above the ground). As it is only a small area I have reduced the sensitivity to the minimum level (and it still works fine). I am using the dial on the third frequency dot as per a very helpful review further down (which will tell you which frequency is most effective against which pest), it doesn't give any suggestion in any instructions. I have adjusted it so that it covers just the space in front of my house, it can cover up to 80 degrees. I am giving it five stars for the effect that it has had on the cat, who seems to hate it as I don't see it wandering around the front of my house anymore - but I would say the instructions are poor and I wouldn't say that it is fantastically constructed as the back doesn't `fit flush'. The neighbours children can hear it as well, so consider that if you want children to be able to play in that area. Just two points to note if you are buying: Make sure you have 4 AA batteries Make sure you have a very small cross-head screwdriver to hand - easily purchased from any pound shop or DIY place ***UPDATE*** I've had it for 2 months now and it has worked a charm, not a single bit of cat mess! I've noticed that another neighbour has recently installed one to cover his lawn. I was told that some older cats go deaf and can't hear this signal - to sure if that is correct or not but the cats nearby seem to be fairly young so it isn't a problem for me.

J'ai acheté ce produit en juillet 2015 dans l'espoir de faire fuir les chats du voisinage qui venaient crotter sur mon allée et ma pelouse. J'ai donc cherché un dispositif pérenne pour éloigner les chats (et après essayer le poivre et autre, dont les effets sont très limités voire nuls). Après quelques recherches, je suis tombé sur ce type de produits, les bornes à ultrasons, avec des retours plus ou moins élogieux selon les modèles et les situations. Pour ma part, depuis sa mise en place, la tranquillité est revenue, plus de mauvaises surprises dans l'allée. Piles inchangées en 8 mois et toujours fonctionnelle après les tempêtes hivernales. Bref, à installer sans hésiter ! (et vous avez 30 jours pour vous faire un avis de toute façon) Mise à jour : après deux ans et un remplacement de piles, le produit fonctionne toujours. Petit bemol pour la rouille apparue dans le comportiment a pile.

Sarà la mia grande stima per la razza felina, sarà per il sano scetticismo con cui approccio le cose che promettono una risoluzione immediata di un problema, ma devo ammettere che in fase di acquisto non ero molto fiducioso sulla reale funzionalità di questo dissuasore. Spiego meglio: ho appena acquistato una casa con due piccoli giardini, davanti e dietro, inserita in un contesto di villette a schiera in campagna, in cui molti inquilini possiedono dei gatti. La casa, prima del mio acquisto era stata lasciata un po' andare, e i giardini erano diventati la latrina degli amici felini dell'intera strada. Data la mia inesperienza sul disabituare gli animali a fare i propri bisogni nel solito posto, ho cercato su Amazon la soluzione, e viste le recensioni ho acquistato (con sano scetticismo, ripeto), questo dissuasore, e l'ho posizionato nel giardino davanti casa. Incredibile ma vero: funziona! Dal giorno dell'installazione non ho trovato altri "ricordini". Unica pecca a mio avviso: il rilevatore di movimento è molto sensibile, tanto che gli ultrasuoni si sentono anche se cammino in casa con la finestra aperta: probabilmente devo solo ridurre il raggio di azione. Le istruzioni non sono molto chiare, ma il montaggio è intuitivo: basta inserire le batterie (delle normali pile stilo, non incluse nella confezione), rimettere la guarnizione e avvitare lo sportellino.

庭の駐車場で猫が車の屋根に上るのを防止するために購入しました。 この商品に決めた理由は、有効距離を調整出来るという点と、防滴では無く防水で雨の日でも気を使わなくて良い点です。 効果のほどは半信半疑でしたが、使い始めて3～4日で車に猫が上った形跡が見られなくなり、2週間が過ぎた今日でも効果は持続しております。 私の家の庭には梅の木があり、この木に野鳥が羽を休めに、または、餌探しに来て目を楽しませてくれるのですが この野鳥まで撃退されたら困るので、有効距離の調整機能が使い物にならなかったらどうしようと思っていましたが、 これが思いのほか優秀で、しっかり微調整すれば駐車場だけに有効範囲を絞ることが出来て大変満足しています。 この距離調整、左側のツマミ（Sens.）で行うのですが、目盛の最小値は実際に検証してみたところ3mくらいからになります。 私の家の庭の環境だと野鳥がとまる梅の木が駐車場から3mの距離に有り、目盛の最小値だと網羅してしまうのですが 実は、この目盛の最小値はツマミを回し始めたところから始まっているので1mくらいから微調整可能です。 有効範囲を小さくするとイコール省エネモードというオマケ付きで、野鳥の羽休めの邪魔もせず駐車場の猫だけを撃退、しかも省エネ♪ 言うこと無しです。 小型で設置場所にも困らないので、距離調整とあわせて上手にセッティングすれば限られた環境での難しいオーダーにも 答えてくれる、なかなかの優れものです。

Buenas, he venido a escribir esta reseña porque verdaderamente funciona, tenemos una casa en el pueblo, segunda vivienda, y cuando no estamos el jardin es el patio de juegos y el WC de los gatos. Hemos probado otras cosas, pero este sistema es lo que ha acabado con las cagadas de los gatos, ya no vienen. Lo único malo, por ponerle alguna pega, es que nuestros hijos también escuchan el sonido, los adultos no escuchamos nada, pero los niños si, y dicen que les molesta...Un saludo.
