However some modern units work from a small reservoir of water, doing away with the need for a hose. This means a little more setting up is required.
The disadvantage of this type of deterrent is that it requires a connected hose for the water, and also a power supply to power the motion detector and the jet of water. Your garden would be protected from cats, dogs, deers, critters and vermin. The advantage over ultrasonic units is that all animal are deterred, even if they are deaf. The sound and the water act as a double deterrent to cats and other animals who immediately run off and remember not to come back again. When the unit detects movement it automatically sprays a jet of water for a few seconds in a small arc. Water Cat Repellents use a short sharp spray of water to scare cats off, rather than the ultrasonic sound emitted by other devices. They do work though, read proof and see them in action in our Do Cat Repellers Work page. The chances of this are slim however, making ultrasonic repellents an inexpensive solution for many gardeners to the issue of cats fouling their gardens. The only caveat with these detectors is obvious - a cat must have average hearing to be affected, deaf cats would not notice the tone and could still be troublesome. Some versions come with a 9v adapter option, or it is possible to hand wire battery versions to work with an inexpensive power adapter. Ultrasonic devices require power to operate and this is usually by a 9v battery. After a short period they will stop coming in to the area, not just for a while, but for an very long period. Unable to withstand the noise they move on to other areas, leaving your garden cat free.Īll ultrasonic repellents work by sensing movement, which in turn activates the ultrasonic tone, lasting for a few seconds.Ĭats remember this uncomfortable experience and quickly learn that it will happen every time they visit area. Ultrasonic Cat Repellents work by emitting a high frequency tone that cats and other animals find uncomfortable. All of these mats work equally well with both cats and dogs. See our list below and choose the best scat mat for your own situation. For example, if you need to stop your cat from sitting on a kitchen window sill, then a large scatmat more suited for a couch is probably not the best size for you, get the strip instead. Scat Mats are available in a variety of different sizes, have a think about your likely usage before deciding which scatmat is best for your house. Here’s a brief video compilation showing how cats react to the scatmat. In fact, one owner who had zapped himself by mistake called it more like a psychological shock than an electric one. This makes the Scatmat ideal for protecting your indoor surfaces where cats tend to climb, for example windows, tables, furniture, kitchen areas etc.Ĭat lovers need not worry however as the electric pulse is no more severe than a static shock, it is the surprise element that makes a cat jump, and deters the cat from returning to the area. When a pet activates the mat by standing on it, a tiny electric pulse is delivered, giving the cat a very brief, but memorable moment of unpleasantness. You may have noticed we highlighted the “shocked” word in the review introduction – there was a good reason for that, because this is exactly how the Scatmat works. We’ve been reviewing cat repellents for over a year now, and we were “shocked” to find a product that was receiving unheard of satisfaction rates, that we had not reviewed! So here it is, the scatmat review, is this the perfect product to control and train your cats (and other pets such as dogs) indoors, and is it even better than Catscram?
