am i the only one who can hear these cat scarers, they give off a high pitch sound and you can hear they from quite far away, some one a few doors down had one until i asked them to remove it as i couldnt sit in the garden peacefully without a noise in my ear every few seconds0

I am about to try SILENT ROAR.
Will let you know how I get on.
...living close to Dudley Zoo (within scrounging distance), I can confirm that lion poo works well. Cats are really territorial, and know to defer to a bigger, harder, !!!!-of-the-walk cat.
The roses never looked so good either0 -

I dont have a cat, but i do have two toddlers who will eat anything they come into contact with..
On nice days like it has been i have to check all the garden and remove crap before i can let them out to play. Great job to do, clean up after somebody elses cats when im pregnant and have other things i would rather be doing as i dont OWN a cat!
those sonic things, a caller on a local radio station was also complaining he could here it and had been knocking on all his neighbours houses asking them not to use them !sus x0 -
I completely sympathise - there are at least 4 cats in the immediate vicinity of my flat that choose my garden to dump in and none of them cover up their muck.
I have tried all manner of powders / smelly things which haven't worked. I got my sonic deterrant from ebay, was about £15. It worked really well for the first month, but they seem to have got used to it now, even though I moved it round the garden so the noise would come from different directions.
I don't have an external water source, but if I did, I'd try one that shoots water at them - my Dad (who's retired and so able to sit at home and watch them!) has a water pistol and has successfully managed to 'train' all the neighbourhood cats to avoid his garden!January Grocery Challenge: £200 Spend £158.99

meanwhile.... back to the opening post...money saving and all that......
Ultrasonic Deterers. My experience is dont bother with battery ones they don't last 2 minutes. Mains powered ones run from a low voltage adapter and often have just a long, small, safe cable to the unit outdoors.
How about this one? http://www.shoppersworld.co.uk/templated/darlington/factoryshop/product.asp?s=334&d=1784&p=14850&c=13&s1=0&s2=0&s3=0
£9.97+£4.99 packing (unless you live near Darlington shop) Better to buy 2 as price drops to
2 x £7.97+£4.99 packing = £20.93 for 2, stick one each end of the garden to deafen poor little Mr Tiddles.
even better if you find something to take the order to £35 for free post. £7.97 is very good as its the same unit as this http://www.everythingforpets.com/ultrasonic_animal_chaser.pet/use.id.5.item_id.1298.dept.0/
at £25 !!!0 -
Let us be clear here. This thread is a MONEY SAVING thread to find the best deal for a sonic cat repeller.
It is NOT a place for discussion on the ethics of cat ownership or ways to stop cats that may or may not be deemed illegal.
I have removed a number of posts on this thread and I would ask that this thread remains on topic.
This is a money saving board.
