Ultrasonic Outdoor Cat Deterrent

Contech CAT001 CatStop Ultrasonic Outdoor Cat Deterrent

Protect the vegetable garden and flowerbeds from neighborhood cats with this unique device. Using ultrasonic sound waves that are not audible to humans, the cat deterrent emits a piercing, high-decibel ultrasonic alarm for two seconds when its built-in motion detector senses motion. The cat soon associates the area with this unpleasant experience and avoids the area in the future. The cat deterrent covers 330 square feet with a detection range of 20 feet in front of the device in an 80-degree arc. For convenience, there are no controls or adjustments. Simply place the unit facing the area needing protection and install one 9-volt battery. The battery should last about nine months, which is an estimate based upon 4,900 activations spread over 245 days at an average of 20 per day. Another highlight includes weatherproof construction–the device can be left outdoors in all conditions, rain or shine. The cat deterrent measures approximately 8 by 3 by 18 inches.
