   At first this product seemed like a dud, but now the feral cats are no where in sight. My next door neighbor feeds feral cats and they were making themselves at home in my yard and leaving me "presents." The morning after I installed it I saw a cat drinking from my small pond, very close to the unit. Every time it went off she looked up , but didn't seem bothered at all. So I thought that was $50 down the drain. I adjusted the sensitivity to a higher setting and put the unit on a small hill so it would detect movement better. After that, the cats have been staying away. I am impressed. Twice I saw a cat walk in my yard and then turn around a walk right out, before activating the sensor. I am guessing they had been blasted by it and decided not to take a chance. It's been less than a week at this point, so I will update this if anything changes. It also worked fine after spending the night in a torrential down pour. I thought for sure it would be filled with water, but it just kept working.

   You can set the sound level and sensitivity for small to large animals. The flashing led lights can be turned on on off as well. I have many deer in our area and when it snows, they get real hungry and start eating all our plants and bushes. I have put these on a 4 foot to 5 foot pole, so the snow will not cover them. They solar charge easily all winter and summer, so there is no need to replace batteries. I just put them in place and let them do all the work. Sounds is not very auditable by humans, but the dear and animals sure do not care for the flashing lights and sound these produce.

   Was skeptical about these but gambled and ordered several. I live in the country & have problems with deer eating everything in my garden (shrubs, flowers and vegetables). I have recently had close encounters with black bear within yards of my house. I scattered these around the perimeter of my yard and had immediate success with deterring the deer. The lack of nibbling was obvious. I have no guarantee about the black bear but since putting these around my yard, I have not seen any within the Hoont perimeter. An added benefit that I really wasn't expecting is that these have also deterred armadillo which can dig up my yard overnight. I plan to buy more in the future to add to my perimeter and to attempt to protect a chicken coop from predators. These were easy to install and unless tripped by something are fairly unobtrusive in the landscape. The clicking noise can be annoying if I am working in the yard but I just switch them off and make sure to switch them back on when I complete tasks. These have been installed for about a month and I've had no issues with them at all, in fact, the range is much wider/broader than stated. I can turn into my driveway (30 feet away) and they will flash. You do have to be strategic in the way you angle them but a little thought as to where the deer were entering my property seems to have worked.

   This year the birds decided they like to look in the side mirrors on both sides and poop all down the side of my truck or get on the toolbox and look in reflection on back window and poop al over the tool box. I drilled a hole in 4x4 piece of wood I had just big enough for the stake. Set this on the tailgate and facing back window. The birds have stop pooping on my truck. I do fold in the mirrors and have to fake rubber snakes hanging on the mirrors. I was spending 6 dollars a evening at the car wash. It is water proof so rain does not affect it. It has solar panel that recharges the batteries. I only have charged it one time per the instructions when I first got it. It been working great for one month. I had purchase another 10 snakes and fake Owls and they did not work after day or too. I did have guy walking bye who could hear it. I cannot hear it.

   I've had this in my yard next to my dwarf peach tree for two weeks now, and it seems to have worked really well for keeping squirrels away from my peaches. Last year, the little fellas ate every peach on my tree! So far it seems to be working great. I waited two weeks before reviewing to make sure. If anything changes, I'll provide an update. Regarding placement, I stuck it in the ground about 2.5 feet away from the tree trunk, and have it facing the tree. If anything approaches the tree from anywhere other than directly behind the device, it starts clicking and strobing. If a squirrel approaches from directly behind, it could get really close but it still has to get somewhere the sensors will pick it up before it would get to the tree. In that case, the thing is going to go off right next to him and that'll probably scare the squirrel off even better, lol. The sensor has a very wide range. I'm really impressed with the batteries. I've had a lot of bad luck with solar powered items with batteries that are charged by sunlight. You can charge the batteries in this device with a USB cable, which is nice if your yard doesn't get enough sun where you're placing it. I charged the batteries up in this the day I got it, and I have not had to plug it up since. The solar charging seems to be doing the trick. Two 18650 lithium ion batteries come with the device, so that's nice as well. I have nothing bad to say at all.

   We love this product! We recently moved to a new home on 2 acres, with about 50 squirrels, and some possum, wandering throughout the property. We did a lot of research on the damage squirrels can do to outdoor furniture cushions, etc.and were victims of squirrel damage at our prior home. Articles ranged from fox urine, to toy snakes on the ground, etc., but most of the reviews were pretty bad on their effectiveness. By dumb luck, came across this solar battery in one article and because of the cheap price we bought two of them six weeks ago. Within one day, the squirrels had moved from the areas where the units were installed, and congregated at other spots of our property. So we bought two more, and the squirrels moved again to the areas where there were no units (I think the distance one device can cover is about 30-40 feet or so, which seems accurate based on where the squirrels started moving to). We bought 2 more a week later and the squirrels are now virtually gone from our property. We will probably end up buying 1 or 2 more to cover outer perimeter of the lawn so possum don't eat some of the flowers. We are totally satisfied with this product. It's almost like a miracle given all of the articles I read, which implied that it was almost hopeless. We also like that the units are solar powered, and so far we've had no problems with any of the units that we have. One reviewer downgraded their review because the "squirrel" setting in the instructions was too low. I agree with that reviewer and it does need to be turned up a notch or two to get the squirrels to move. We also have a golden retriever, and she is not bothered at all with the setting we've used. Plus, it's easy to test at the beginning with your dog in the house to see if they react. I wish the units had a longer range than 30 feet or so, but the supplier is pretty honest about the range. And for the price, plus solar batteries, it's a great deal - in our opinion.

   Bought for my brother who had had several issues with cats getting in his dang trash. I was on the fence by the reviews half swearing by it other half saying its junk. Ordered to give it a try only bevause i trust the company never had any issues on the few other products i have gotten. And I must say he has had no issues in 4 days like legit. We stayed up and watched one night and the light lights up when simething gets close so i really dont know if its the waves or the light scarrying them away. But either way he is happy and I don't have to drive through trash everymorning to pick up my neice an nephew so that's allright in my book!!! Does have different settings for different types of animals , lile i daid i dunno if that works or if its the light!

   This repeller uses ultra sound to keep all the animals away, which is amazing because I didn't want any chemicals and poisons being spread in my garden. I have little grandkids and a dog, and I didn't want to get any of them poisoned. It's also very good bexause it doesn't kill animals. I love them, and I dodn't want them to get killed, I just want to scare them away, so it's the perfect option for me!

   I like this device. From its appearance to its compactness and ergonomics. It is quite convenient to place it in the garden, it does not interfere and does not cause rejection. It is absolutely safe for people because it contains a special program that activates light flashes and ultrasound at the moment when stray animals or large birds enter the territory of my garden. For me, this device is just a salvation
