Pestbye® Waterproof Ultrasonic Repellent 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.

As many other reviewers, I found it fiddley to assemble. Battery cover screw holes had to be enlarged before accepting self tapper screws. Common complaint, assembly information detail given (simple anyway, apart from being awkward). The important part where a bit of help is required, i.e. operating instructions were non existant. These it turns out are available on [...]. The repeller actually works. I got rid of a persitant visitor after about five days. It required a bit of setting up in right posistion. I would say that the Pestby is most effective in a small garden. To save you hunting, details of operating info attached below. The Cat repeller is the quickest fix for cats in the garden. Battery powered, it's easy to install by pushing into the ground using the stake supplied, or it can be screwed to a wall or fence. Fully waterproof, it can be left out in any weather. Why the motion sensor? The repeller comes complete with an infra-red (PIR) motion sensor which turns the device on when a warm body enters the controlled area. This has an important purpose other than saving battery life: researchers have found that cats can become desensitised to the noise if they realise that random sounds are not associated directly with their presence in the controlled area. With the motion sensor, the cat learns to associate the noise with its own movement and is much less likely to stop being afraid of the noise. Frequency Settings This repeller device allows you to change the output frequency, enabling you to have the most effective solution for your particular pest problem. Listed below are the types of animals that this repeller can be used against and the most effective setting for each. Working from left to right (from the smallest dot to the largest) Cats - Between 3 - 5 Dogs - Between 3 - 4 Foxes - Between 3 - 6 Squirrels Between 2 - 7 Rodents - Between 2 - 7 Insects - Between 2 - 7 Roaches - Between 9 - 11 N.B If set on numbers one or two the chances of humans being able to hear this are greatly increased. Batteries Requires four AA batteries. Battery life depends on how many times the device is activated, but they typically last 3-4 months assuming 10 activations per day.Batteries are not supplied as standard but we can supply them (see options above). What area does it cover? It covers an 80 degree arc, to a distance of up to 23ft (7m), giving a total unobstructed working area of 184sq ft. Unlike most other repellers this allows you to cover a smaller area with the sensitivity dial. The repeller will give you the full 7m if the dial is fully round to the right to decrease the distance turn to the left, this will help to increase battery life as the repeller will cover the distance you want it to. How quickly will it work? If cats have a habit of feeding and fouling in your garden, it can take 14-28 days to deliver the full deterrent effect. 'Occasional' visitors will usually be stopped within 7 days. If you have a dog, the dog may be affected if it is allowed in the same part of the garden. The sound doesn't travel well through walls and fences, so it won't affect a dog in the house, or a neighbour's dog. Of course, as with all methods involving animal behaviour, we can't guarantee effectiveness in every situation, however, our own experience and the feedback we get from customers suggests that this device is effective in almost all situations. Will it affect birds? Not at all - you'll be able to welcome the birds back to your garden. Occasionally, children and some adults may be able to hear this device. If this happens it will usually only occur while children are in the garden. Dimensions Height 10.5cm, Width 10.5cm, Depth 4.7cm.

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.

感度と音の周波数を変更できるため，週一程度，周波数は調整している。 確かに，周波数を低くすると，わずかにキンキン聞こえる。 人間も不快感を受けるので，効果はあるものの， センサが反応しない（エリア外）所は糞害がある。 説明書は必要最低限の事しか書いていないので， ガーデンバリア（ミニ）は「とてもよく」見えるものの， あちらは微調整ができないため，鳴り始めと終わりの高音が耳ざわりである。 簡便さはガーデンバリア（ミニ）。 工具使用（電池蓋のねじ止め）が苦にならないなら，こちらを奨めたい。

Ich habe das PestBye gekauft, um zu verhindern, dass unsere Katze es sich auf meinem Cabrioverdeck gemütlich macht. Dort war leider ihr Lieblingsplätzchen, auf dem sie jede Nacht mengenweise Katzenhaare sowie andere Dinge, die eine Katze so in ihrem Fell mit sich herumträgt, hinterließ. Zunächst habe ich das Gerät am hinteren Ende der Carports angebracht. Leider hielt sich der gewüschte Effekt in Grenzen, die Katze schien wenig beeindruckt von dem Piepsen, das in der Nähe durchaus auch für Menschen wahrnehmbar ist. Somit war nach wie vor jeden Morgen Katzenhaarentfernung angesagt. Nach Beobachtung der Katzentatzenspuren auf der Karosserie stellte ich fest, dass unsere Katze sich von der Einfahrt her in den Carport bewegt um dann entweder über Motorhaube oder Kofferraumdeckel auf das Verdeck zu gelangen. Bei der Anbringung an der Hinterwand führte dies dazu, dass der Katzenvertreiber schon weit im Vorwege auslöste. Bis die Katze auf dem Verdeck anlangte, war der Alarm offenbar schon wieder verstummt oder die Katze hatte sich bereits an den "Lärm" gewöhnt. Ich habe das Gerät dann relativ dicht seitlich des Autos etwas oberhalb der Verdeckhöhe installiert, so dass die Auslösung erst dann erfolgt, wenn die Katze sich wirklich auf das Autodach begibt. Und siehe da - seitdem habe ich keine Katzenhaare mehr auf meinem Cabrioverdeck. Fazit: Das Gerät funktioniert, mit dem Ort der Anbringung sollte man experimentieren. Der erste Batteriesatz hält inzwischen schon vier Monate - auch hierfür die volle Punktzahl.

Muy contento con el producto
