    People only post here when at their wit's end. You never hear of the majority of cases, where people have a friendly chat with their neighbours, which resolves the problem.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I guess those devices are very close to your property boundary. Have you considered putting something on your side of the fence which either blocks their sensors, or reflects/absorbs the noise?

    not really helpful but those wires would have been cut by now if she was my neighbour 
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    How waterproof are these devices if you were to take your hose out every day to water the garden?

    They are designed to be outside, in the rain, so I think this is a very long shot.

    I bet they wouldn't survive being used for baseball practice.

    Cut the wires when they are out. Squrells may have bitten them (use something rough!).

    These sort of things annoy me too. Despite my crappy can't often determine speech tinnitus ears I still can hear high frequency for my age. Neghbours here within one year went from moaning about my cats pooping (they were not I made a rasied bed in my gerden for them to do that and they used it, it was others), to useing the silly things (fortunatly not pointed out, which makes no sense unless they want to stop them pooping in my garden), to getting two cats of their own. People eh!

    this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. firstly, I'm intrigued to find out what "silly things" they were using, and why you don't want to name them...?
    but aside from that, why did it not make sense? is it not what they wanted to do, stop the cats pooping in the garden??

    Have you got a link to these cat repellants ?

    Might be a way to disable these things without any physical damage to the units 

    Personally I would looking to block the sensors so they never go off

    A discreet spray of clear varnish or perhaps hair lacquer over the sensor might do the trick ??
