Cat deterrants

[Timmy35]

Okay ruling out shooting the buggers. Has anyone tried any of the motion activated ultrasonic anti moggy devices, and do they work?

Edited to add, I don't really want to muck about spreading chemical stuff everywhere, or getting up all night to chuck water over them. Hence the idea of one of these automatic devices.

Like I say, I'm not asking for a general discussion about various methods. I'm specifically asking if anyone has used or bought an ultrasonic cat deterrant. Did it work.

i did as im v allergic to them and they kept going on my garden sofa. noticed that after putting one in.. £25 quid from homebase) the cats started going across my conservatory roof to avoid triggering them.

You may need two to eliminate cats completely. They make a fairly high pitched noise when being triggered and also use batteries quickly so 12v connection best.

good luck

Thanks! I've ordered a £20 one, so we'll give that a go, and see if it keeps the sodding things out.

Why ???

we've got an ultrasonic deterrant on our garden and it does work. Also try getting some 'Get Off' spray (think B&Q do it.

It took about a week for it all to work but the cats soon got the message and don't bother coming over to use over borders for a toilet anymore.

Lazy feckers don't even bother digging a hole, just squat and go.

Quite, my entirely reasonable suggestion of attaching corks to the end of the bolts for my mini-crossbow and using them as the moggie equivalent of plastic bullets was vetoed by the Missus.
