Touted by Amazon as “easy to install” – requiring only pipe assembly from the provided kit before placement in the ground – the product vows to fend off unwanted visits from cats, foxes, badgers, bats, and rodents alike, reports the Express.
Sporting an impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars from reviewers, one satisfied customer proclaimed: “Even my dog leaves the yard in retreat from these! We have neighbouring cats that love to soil our plants. We bought two of these and they work a charm.”
Another satisfied consumer added their endorsement: “Good unit to keep cats and birds away from vegetable patch and freshly dug soil.”
A third reviewer shared their success story: “I have tried everything in the past to keep cats from using my garden as a toilet. Nothing really worked until (I) bought this product. I have not had any issues since installation. Cats still come in the garden but no mess left behind. I’m happy up to now. Hope it lasts!”.
One relieved customer couldn’t hide their elation: “I was absolutely desperate after months of a neighbour’s five cats using our grass as their toilet, nothing I hadn’t googled and tried!!
“I researched these repellers, reviews were good… I can’t actually believe it seems to work, not 1 single poo since it’s been in the garden and it’s been there 2 weeks now at least, yay!! Let’s hope it keeps working, order this one I’m really impressed and overjoyed to not be picking up daily vile poo!!”
On the other hand, there was a less satisfied customer who remarked: “Had the thing set up on the cat’s normal fouling area and the next morning there’s poo right in front of it. Save your money.”
Someone else voiced their frustration, saying: “Just got this and turned it on and stuck it in my garden. So far it has not stopped blinking and beeping. Nothing is moving. This thing will have flat batteries in about 5 minutes. It’s far too sensitive.”
