What sort of area do these things work over Mike?

30 - 40 feet. We have had this one for quite some time, move it about and
not seen ONE bit of cat crap. We did think that it scared the birds away but
as you can see, we have plenty now :-))

Very sorry that others don't believe me, but there it is, their loss :-))

(I was asked the other day why I put that in. Muppet, please explain)

About that :-)) It has its advantages in that you don't have to sit there
with the gun cocked ready. The disadvantage is, that whilst the cat clears
off for quite some while, it is still 'warm and upright' and might return to
try it's luck :-(

The neighbour's cat is deaf, so the high frequency gizmo we have doesn't
work on it.

I'm currently building various defences against cats (deaf or
otherwise); including Prikka-Strips for the perimeter, repeller rods
impregnated with "essence of lion", and the current PIR detector (for
non-deaf cats).

As a last resort, I may need to buy a gun.

There's always this fun gizmo:

http://www.deteracat.co.uk/products/waterjet.html (commercial link).

The so called "Scarecrow® Motion Activated Water Sprayer".

Wouldn't it chase off the birdies too, though?

Anyway, I don't think my other cat deterrent (the dog) would enjoy being
squirted with water every time she went out for a pee.

I think that they have fooled you, and they are shamming. Just
exactly HOW would even a group of domestic cats scare a badger?
They have better sense than to try.
