Sends out a very loud noise at a frequency that cats can hear but is too high for most humans to hear. This is annoying and frightening to the cats but does not affect birds. Also effective for dogs and foxes.
- comes with motion sensor
- 40 ft operating range.

I am writing to let you know how DELIGHTED I am with my recent purchase of the ultra sonic cat repeller. After ages of being faced with cat fouling on my garden, not to mention uprooted seedlings and young plants, within 12 hours - no more fouling, and this has continued.
Thank you for a fantastic product. - Rita W
Why the motion sensor? The Cat 40 comes complete with an infra-red (PIR) motion sensor which turns the device on when a warm body enters the controlled area. This has an important purpose other than saving battery life: researchers have found that cats can become desensitised to the noise if they realise that random sounds are not associated directly with their presence in the controlled area. With the motion sensor, the cat learns to associate the noise with its own movement, and is much less likely to stop being afraid of the noise.
Batteries
Requires two 9V batteries (the rectangular ones used in smoke alarms) Battery life depends on how many times the device is activated, but they typically last 3-4 months assuming 10 activations per day. Batteries aren't supplied as standard.
What area does it cover
It covers a 98 degree arc, to a distance of up to 40ft (12m), giving a total unobstructed working area of 1200sq ft (120sq m).
How quickly will it work?
If the cats have a habit of feeding and fouling in your garden, it can take 14-28 days to deliver the full deterrent effect. 'Occasional' visitors will usually be stopped within 7 days. If you have a dog, it may affect the dog if it's allowed in the same part of the garden. The sound doesn't travel well through walls and fences, so it won't affect a dog in the house, or a neighbour's dog. Of course, as with all methods involving animal behaviour, we can’t guarantee effectiveness in every situation, however, our own experience and the feedback we get from customers suggests that this device is effective in almost all situations. If you need more advice on how to get the best out of the product, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Will it affect birds?
Not at all - you'll be able to welcome the birds back to your garden.
Occasionally, children and some adults may be able to hear this device. If this happens it will usually only occur while children are in the garden and there's an on-off button that can be used if required.
