Tired of finding stray cats on your property? Or even worse finding what they leave behind the next day? Nothing can be more pestering than finding the damage left by animals that aren’t even your own. With an ultrasonic motion sensing animal repeller you can make sure that you keep cats out of your flower bed or garden. All you have to do is Simply place this unit facing the area you want to protect and it will emit a piercing, high-decibel ultrasonic alarm when the built-in motion detector senses motion. The Ultrasonic Motion Sensing Animal Repeller requires the use of one 9-Volt Alkaline Battery for power, sold separately. This sensor will detect motion up to 300 feet and will send the cats fleeing. Don’t worry though, it is a humane way of keeping cats away, and the ultrasonic sound waves are not audible to humans. The unit operates for 9 months on one 9V battery and covers 300 square feet. The only downfall is that it is only recommended for use with cats, not dogs or rodents. But nevertheless, in many neighborhoods there is more likely to be stray cats strolling through your yard.

This bug repeller unit performs double-duty. An eco-friendly color-changing LED light emanates a gentle glow that will be sure to provide comfort in even the darkest night. It keeps pesky bugs and other critters at bay with ultrasonic sound waves. With short wavelengths, the high frequency sound waves are too high-pitched for humans to hear but will drive bugs away. Nights will stay silent and bite-free! Electromagnetic signals also provide an extra level of protection against pests. A pulsing signal irritates insects and rodents to keep them away from you. No chemicals or poisons are used in case children or pets accidentally open up the unit. Since it doesn’t trap the bugs, there will be no messy cleanup. The unit automatically turns on at dusk so you won’t forget to activate it and you can rest easy, knowing you are always protected. Read more
