FAQ
Q) What is a cat repeller?

Q) Do ultrasonic cat repellers deter other animals as well?
A) Some ultrasonic cat repellers have adjustable sound frequency that can repel cats, dogs, mice, rabbits, squirrels, and even larger animals like deer.
Q) Where should the cat repeller devices be placed in order to be most effective?

When used for cats only, the device should be mounted approximately 30cm from the ground, or higher if you are “aiming” at bigger animals or the area is grassy.
Q) How can I make the ultrasound devices more effective?

Q) Are the ultrasonic cat repellers harmful to cats or other animals?
A) They are not harmful to animals or humans.
Q) How are the ultrasonic cat repellers powered?
A) Most models work with mains adaptors and batteries.
Q) What is the motion sensor of the ultrasonic cat repeller for?
A) They serve dual purpose – to preserve the batteries and to make the device more effective - if the sound is emitted continuously, cats learn that this sound is not triggered by their presence and tend to ignore it.
Q) Do the cat repeller devices chase away birds?
