Seems to work very well so far

So far not much luck. The squirrels keep coming and so did the big bear who strolled through my garden. Not deterred one bit. I don't know how the raccoons and skunks will react. I hope I have better luck with them.

Thank you for your feedback. That's unfortunate this hasn't worked so far in deterring the squirrels and isn't intended to deter bears, only smaller animals. Our customer service team will reach out to you to ensure the setting is correct on the unit.

Questionable. does the ultrasonic beep prevent the rodent from leaving its den.

Thank you for your feedback. This will not prevent rodents from leaving their nests or dens. It works entirely on the line of sight. It will irritate animals that are already out in the open, but this device will not penetrate solid walls, wood or dense earth.

So far so good. No new squirrels under the hood

Seems to work well. We have three of them covering different parts/levels of our dock in attempt to prevent otters from pooping on the dock (needed 3 to cope with the location of the outlet relative to the layout of the dock). Too early to be definitive but no fresh poop in the last few weeks and the otters may have taken up residence elsewhere (our hope). My only criticism is the use of a wall-wart adaptor (and wire that does not appear to be very robust/protected) which makes it difficult to connect multiple units to a single outlet, even with a multi-outlet adaptor, and raises longevity concerns in our exposed environment However, we have had one hooked up for several years and just added the other two this year - as the otters tried to move to a part of the dock that was not covered - and they are all still undamaged and functioning.

There should be a "Meh" rating... It does what it says for sure, a very high pitched, very irritating noise, never fail zone capture, triggers all the time. My 2 local resident deer, after demolishing my gardens several times dispite netting, bracing, Bobex, dog, I hoped this was to be the solution. I think they avoided the yard for about 3 weeks, then they didn't care and the antlered anacharists continued with their pillage. On the bright side, it continues to keep my 20 something adult children at bay, they hate it!

We're glad to hear the Ultrasonic Pest Deterrent has been effective at keeping at least some unwanted visitors away... even if your adult children weren't the intended target. We're sorry it didn't provide the long-term deer deterrence you were hoping for. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and our Customer Service team will reach out to see if there's anything we can do to help.

I think it is working and we now have a line of them n front of 3 house and no bunnies. Used C batteries but they didn't last long but they may have been old. I will use just purchased batteries to see they last longer failing which I may need to use power cord.
