The repeller comes with an infra-red (PIR) motion sensor which turns the device on when a warm body enters the controlled area.Research has found 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.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 increase battery life as the repeller will cover the distance you want it to.
If cats have a habit of feeding and fouling in your garden,it can take 14-28 days to take the full deterrent effect.'Occasional' visitors will usually be stopped within 7 days.If you have a dog,it 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.As with all methods involving animal behaviour,we can't guarantee effectiveness in every situation;however,our own experience and feedback from customers suggests that this device is effective in almost all situations.
The repeller allows you to change the output frequency,so you have the most effective solution for your pest problem.Below are the types of animals that this repeller can be used against and the most effective setting for each.
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.
