I've read a lot of negative reviews, how it fills up w/ water in the rain, stops working, etc. I sealed the edges w/ some clear silicone, put some duct tape over the battery compartment and it works all the time! I watched my nemisis, The Cat, nearly jump out of his fur just as he was gettng ready to poop in my garden. It was hilarious! I since purchased another one for my front yard.

We've been using ours for 8 months now and it stops cats from coming into our yard near our back wall. That is, until the batteries run out once a month. The sign that the batteries have run out is usually seeing a cat in our yard. I wish it had its own low battery indicator.

this deterrent is a band aid only. Looked at all the options and went for the cage instead. My section of town was crawling with cats a few months ago. A cage in a few weeks took care of 90% of the problem, simple and effective, never needs batteries. If you live next to the "cat lady" or the like, the deterrents --and I've tried many, work for about a day. After that the cats alter their routine or get used to them. Why rig up your house trying to place deterrents everywhere, just get rid of the problem. Link to a small cage, might need a bigger one.

This thing is supposed to detect moving objects and issue bursts of high-pitched sound
to deter animals from pooping nearby. Mine, and also one my neighbor bought, cycled
on and off every minute or two regardless of absence of animals, thus rapidly depleting
its batteries.

It isn't great, but it seems to have helped a bit. What I have noticed, is that when I see stray cats walking across my lawn, they walk pretty slow so they don't seem to trigger it as much as it triggers when I simply walk in front of it myself. BUT: there is less cat poop in my yard, and I see the cats a bit less.
