Product Description
Product Description
Protect your garden habitat with the Defenders Mega-Sonic cat repeller.
There are 9 million cats in the UK. The mammal society says cats kill around 275 million prey items a year, including 55 million birds. Voles and other small mammals make up much of the remainder.
The Sonic Cat Repeller will help protect your garden habitat and encourage wildlife and birds back into it. The Sonic Cat Repeller incorporates a sophisticated PIR (Passive Infra Red) detection system, which constantly monitors a fan shaped area of a 98 degrees arc up to a distance of 12 metres. The protected area is over 120sq. meters of unobstructed space. The Sonic Cat Repeller detects animals moving into this area and triggers a burst of continuously variable ultrasound, which sweeps a frequency range of 18,000Hz, 24,000 Hz to repel them. Simultaneously the LED indicator on the front of unit signals that it is now activated.
The Sonic Cat Repeller is powered by two 9V alkaline batteries. Battery power is conserved by the PIR detection system, which allows the unit to remain on stand-by between activation periods, therefore maximizing battery life.
The Push on/off Test Button on the face of the unit will drop the sonic frequency to an audible range. This enables you to check that the unit is functioning properly and to hear the swept frequency. The unit is also weather resistant.

after spending £65 on various sprays, powders and even lion poo from the zoo I wish Id bought this first.
Worked out of the box.
After 4 months of cats leaving deposits in the garden they no longer come near it.
I watched for about 25 minutes before the first cat dared to invade and I can tell you, its the first time I have seen a cat do a vertical take off from a standing start, only wish i could of videoed it for you-tube.
One problem my neighbours keep popping round to borrow it!

I have 4 cats that moved next door late last year, i must admit there had never been a problem with cat litter untill recently...
I bagged up nearly half a dustbin liner of the stuff and thought enough is enough...determined to get rid of them i spent a small fortune on jeyes fluid and sprayed all my borders and lawns to no avail..
People told me citruss lemon smells would keep them away another
£20 in chemicals only minimised the situation..more money spent on deterrent gels which i placed all around my rear garden they attacked my front garden..so i covered the front garden they deffacated all over my rear lawns...
I'm not a cat lover and i wouldn't harm them but found myself screaming at them when they were bouncing on my 4 year old daughters huge trampoline and messing next to it..
The big cheese has totally stopped them even walking on my garden..
Ive had one soiling in a week since placing them on my garden and i may have missed that when placing them...
I can't praise this product enough don't waste money on gels disinfectants
and time tying bags to trees to scare cats just purchase the big cheese it
has definately made a difference to my garden :)

I installed this product 5 weeks ago, after checking with the manufacturer (STV Pest Control) whether the "Cat Repeller" could be expected to work against dogs and foxes. Frankly, I'm not an expert on animal poo, and didn't know what kind of animal was fouling my front garden, typically 5 times per week. They said it should work, and that the more expensive "Cat, Dog & Fox Repeller" simply has a higher power output to cover a larger area.
So does it work? During the 5 weeks since installation I've seen only one cat hang around in my garden for any length of time, and that was on one occasion only. The rest have passed through quickly, at some distance from the device.
In fact, after two weeks I thought the fouling problem was completely solved; but, as one of my kids pointed out, my DOG-owning neighbours were away on holiday. The animal fouled my garden within 12 hours of the neighbours' return 10 days ago, but only once since then -- which is a welcome improvement, if it continues. Perhaps their dog is still learning and will eventually stop visiting altogether. Fingers crossed for now.
Additional comment:
Several reviewers of the Cat Repeller have reported that "their" cats seem happy to settle down near the device. The manufacturers of a similar product (not the one under review) state on their website that this is not unusual behaviour. Apparently these cats are trying to intimidate the device and make it go away. It takes them a while to learn that they can't win the battle... so be patient -- the instructions supplied with the Big Cheese Cat Repeller clearly state that it may take up to 28 days to break the animals' habit in the case of persistent fouling.

I hope its working. If it is, it's great value. I haven't seen a cat in the garden since installing it but I did try scattering coffee grounds at the same time.

This did kind of work, but seemed limited in range and meant that my small garden was not totally covered, they were still coming in the garden and doing their business. Read more

Cats kept at bay.
I found this product really works most of the time, the problem is the cats are quite intelligent and soon realise it is their movement that triggers the alarm. Read more

waste of money
Apparently Manx cats are immune to this! Appears to have had no effect whatsoever. Cats still digging up my seedlings. Very disappointing.
