Pretty good build quality - I'm nervous that the speaker might get damaged in due course but the plastic is rigid, the knobs feel solid and the metal spike is well made and easily removable. Range is great - I had expected it to be a problem, but it switches on at the slightest movement at up to 4 metres. I have four to cover a large gravel drive which has become the cat equivalent of a an ancient roman public toilet - emptying bowels in front of my house has become a local cat attraction. I have concerns about how long the batteries (four AA) will last as it activates several times a day - I never realised how much I walk down my driveway. I can (just) hear the detectors when I set them off but not if I'm not right in front of them. They do seem to work. I have had no cat mess on my drive for two weeks. I did see one cat on the drive but it was obviously unnerved by the strange sounds and did stay for long. I've noticed a lot more birds out front who do not seem to set the devices off and so are unaffected by it. I have no idea if some frequencies work better than others or if they work on any other animals. If the batteries last three months I'd say they were well, well worthwhile. If they only last a month I'd say they're expensive to run. Read full review

The product does seem to be working, we have had it installed for a week now and the visiting animal is no longer messing on our property. However, the only instruction as to the frequency of the deterrent is on the website, which is no good if you are given it as a gift and are not on the web. Also, there are no instructions to be found as to what range in meters each little dot on the unit represents. This is very important as I have an open plan front garden and I do not want it to effect the other properties on the close as they all have animals. Fortunately I am able to walk in front of the sensor to gauge the distance, but not everyone can.

Appears to keep cats at bay. Standard of construction is ok but battery compartment cover is not as precise enough for our rainy British weather. Waterproof performance is key to this type of product; time will tell

A well built, sturdy device! The nine volt rechargeable batteries to run it don't come cheap: two per device. On the evidence, I'm not entirely convinced the product deters "all" cats. A back-up plan may be needed. Like human beings, older cats' hearing deteriorates and this particular model operates at a high ultrasonic level some older cats may not be able to hear. Despite no less than TWO newly installed Pestbye Cat Scarers covering my small front lawn, I discovered a new pile of cat poo the very next day after installation! The evidence was almost about three feet in front of one of the devices. I've now included an older cat scarer (which I know from a free audio analysis app) works at a lower ultrasonic frequency which I had otherwise retired on receipt of the two new Pestbye devices. The lawn has since been cut short, all traces of previous cat poo removed and a generous application of lemon juice applied all over. Apparently, cats hate the smell of citrus and so far this has worked. Unfortunately, the it's the same rigmarole every year in training cats to go "elsewhere" to do their business. Read full review

Good product. Arrived on-time, easy to assembly. I brought two Ultrasonic garden deterrent two weeks ago as I had cats/foxes defecating in my garden every day to my horror! These Ultrasonic deterrent appears to be working. No more Cats/Foxes defecting in my garden. My only concern is how long will batteries last.
