Thinking about getting a cat scarer, the ones that emit a sound inaudible

Have any of you had one? Do they work?

A somewhat iffy address but I'll I'll assume you are genuine ....

I have bought 2 static plus a hand-held ultrasonic cat "scarers".

They do seem to work - we haven't had much cat activity in the garden
for some time. A couple of observations:

1. If battery powered, you do need to make sure to replace the batteries
:-)

2. They are directional - make sure they point in the right direction!

3. Moggies aren't entirely stupid - they do learn. So, if your local
moggies have multiple access routes and options for wandering through
your garden, then you need to move the cat scarers every month or so.

4. Our garden is very enclosed, with fences, rambling roses, shrubs,
etc. There are very few routes for moggies into the garden. In these
circumstances, I think the scarers work pretty well. If your
garden/allotment has more open access then I guess it will be more
difficult - you'll need more scarers and need to move them around more.

5. I bought the first one from the RSPB - a bit pricey but seems to
work. I bought a 2nd static plus a handheld on-line (not the site to
which you refer and I entirely agree with your attitude to the poster on
that site - stuff him!). Can't remember who but I think it was the same
company who supply RSPB but bought direct.

6. Many white cats are congenitally (?) deaf (which shows that many cat
breeders know as much about breeding cats as Crufts and dog breeders
know about breeding dogs). If your particular problem is a white moggy,
you may find that ultrasonic scarers don't work ....

7. The hand-held ones are quite useful if a moggy makes if past the
static scarers and you spot it. Most leave very rapidlly :-)

I've tried two of those, - useless. The middle one in the top row
and the hand-held one in the second row.

I tried pointing the hand held one at about 3ft distance at a friend's
dog and it was under-whelmed. :-)

Tried loads. All useless. Fed up with cat stuff all over the place and
cats digging in seed beds and all that. Then cat from up the road
moved in. He's aggressively territorial. Hates moles by the way. He's
been here for a few years now and goes back to his old garden to do
what he has to do. Result, no cat stuff (in our garden anyway), no
cats digging in seed beds and no moles (that he doesn't catch). Only
downside is that he has to sleep on the bed at night or makes such a
racket that no-one else gets any sleep.

So answer is don't bother with cat scarers. Get a cat!

See his website at http://www.rivendell.org.uk/Pillster/ and please
don't tell me I'm daft!

Our cat is very clever - she digs her stuff into the ground after she's
done it - a *very* clever cat !

But is she clever enough to avoid newly sown seed beds? ;-))

Yes, many white cats are deaf, so the scarer will not work on them, but you
are hardly likely to have lots of white deaf cats in your garden, are you?
I take exception to your opinion about cat & dog breeders and more so about
Cruft's judges.
You know a Cruft's judge personally? I do, and she has the highest ethics
in the world otherwise she would not be my best friend.

Simple solution. Train your cat to use the toilet..

No they don't work. I had one with a PIR sensor and various sound
settings. Humans, depending on their age, can hear them starting up at
the beginning of the ultrasonic sound burst. Initially the local cats
were scared but within a week they got used to it and reverted back to
their old patterns. Even moving the device around a lot had no effect.

Local foxes were not scared by it at all. I could see that they were
aware of the device going off but apart from maybe a jump of a few feet
they carried on regardless.

And no I dont have a gun.

I believe that an effective deterrent is to put some food out laced with
some anti-freeze. Other than that a large store of stones to throw
keeps then on their toes.

Anyone with high ethics would have resigned from being a Craft's judge
years ago when it became public knowledge that the organisation
supported the long term in-breeding of animals.
