Product Information

To set this Scarecrow model from Contech up, you just need to insert the supplied 9V battery into the main unit then connect it to any standard garden hose and you’re good to go, Detection of intruders is handled by a motion sensor that can be set to be triggered by even the smallest movement using the sensitivity adjustment, so you will have to carefully think through where you will place it so it doesn’t get unnecessarily triggered by things like cars going past, or trees blowing in the wind if you want to have it on the highest setting. Once the sensor has detected movement, heat or both, the device is triggered. In the case of ultrasonic cat scarers, a sound that is barely audible to humans but very annoying to animals is sent out over a wide area to scare your little intruders away. The sounds frequencies are beautifully demonstrated in this video: With a 55 degree vertical angle, and a 110 degree horizontal arc, the sensor in this model covers a wider area than Pestbye’s device, and also has a longer range of 9 metres, that’s 2 metres longer than its rival.

Yes, there are cat deterrent sprays available on the market. These sprays contain natural ingredients that cats find unpleasant, such as citrus or peppermint oil. Spraying these around your garden can help keep cats away from areas you don’t want them to enter. One thing you can’t switch off is the flashing blue LED light that comes on at night or on dark, rainy days. It isn’t the brightest thing in the world, but if you have the device placed near to a window, it might get a bit annoying, and it would have been nice to have the option to switch it off. You could also try using citrus peels or coffee grounds as natural repellents; many felines dislike their strong smells and won’t come near where they’re scattered around your garden beds or furniture legs. FAQs Can you put cat spikes on your fence? We looked at 20 other cat scat mats. Even though they didn’t make our 5 best cat scat mats list, they’re the best of the rest and each is still a great option for your home or garden. The information you’ll need to compare each one is included with the listing. If the sensor on your cat scarer is cheap and not sensitive enough, even on the higher settings, the device will not even trigger and it is relatively useless. On the other hand, an oversensitive sensor will get triggered by all kinds of things, such as trees and plants blowing in the wind. This just leads to the batteries in your device running out prematurely, and a waste of water in the case of some type of cat scarer.The maximum range for this cat scarer to be effective is said to be between 7-10 metres, but it all depends on what obstructions are in the way. You also have the option to change the range of the sensor, but strangely there is no on/off button. Instead, you either have to turn both control dials completely to the left, or take the batteries out if you want to switch the machine off. If you want to reinforce your flower beds, vegetable garden or even the rooftops of your home with cat-proof defences, then these Scat Cat Mats with Spikes from Your’s Bath may well be one of the easiest and cheapest options out there.

The flexible spikes are uncomfortable under-paw, discouraging cats from walking or digging in those areas. The strips are weather-resistant, so can be left year-round. Ultimately, the best option is up to you depending on what works best in your situation. No matter which method you choose, using cat spikes or other deterrents will help protect your garden from neighbourhood cats without harming them.

Water jet spray cat scarers If you fancy yourself as green-thumbed, it can be quite disheartening to see your carefully curated garden being used as a feline outhouse. By investing in one or more of these options, you can ensure that your hard work isn’t undermined by any irreverent cats, while also protecting your plants from having their roots disturbed by digging. What types of cat repellent are there? These fully weatherproof products are encased in a high-quality plastic that feels strong and sturdy, and you should have no worries about leaving them out in any weather conditions, whether staked into the ground or hanging from your fence.

This is a high-quality machine though, the plastic used is very tough and I have no doubts that it is a durable product. The ground spike that comes with the cat scarer is made from aluminum, and so it will not have problems with rust. This is quite important considering you’ll be leaving the machine outside all the time. One thing I did notice about this model was I could hear the sound that was being emitted when it was more than I could with the Pestbye cat scarer. This didn’t bother my wife though, so I think it is different for everyone and depends on your hearing sensitivity. If you don’t fancy using neither the ultrasonic nor the water spraying cat scarers, there is still another option for you to consider. It’s very low tech, but actually very effective if used correctly.
