Cat watch Ultrasonic Deterrent

Product Information

If building a cat proof fence isn’t an option, the Catwatch Cat Deterrent is an effective and humane way to deter cats from entering your garden. It’s easy to install, requires minimal maintenance, and is designed with the safety of both cats and humans in mind.

The PIR Infrared Technology contained in the CATWatch has been extensively tested in British gardens and the units are specifically designed to deal with the UK’s domestic and feral cat population. This means they have to go past the device when entering here. It also means that when it activates they would have to run towards the noise if they were determined to get into the rest of the garden. Does the Catwatch Cat Deterrent Work?Many people find cat-fouling a nuisance. This device is proven to reduce the presence of cats in gardens and the deterrent effect increases over time. Electronic micro-circuitry and computer controlled microchip activates signal as cat enters protected area & switches off as the animal leaves. Both measures of deterrent effect appeared to increase with time over the period of the trials, suggesting cats were learning to avoid gardens with active devices, rather than becoming habituated to them.“ Requires mains 12-volt adaptor (available separately) or one 9-volt alkaline battery (not supplied).

Many people find cat-fouling a nuisance. This device is proven to reduce the presence of cats in gardens and the deterrent effect increases over time. CATWatch, the UK's leading cat deterrent manufactured in the UK, successfully completed a two-year scientific trial conducted by the RSPB to determine its deterrent effect on cats in residential gardens. The results are published in the Applied Animal Behaviour Science Journal after peer review.

Cat deterrent

The CATWatch becomes more effective as time goes on because the more the cat triggers the alarm, the more it learns to associate your garden with the unpleasant high-pitched sounds. Staying out of your garden becomes a habit. This process of behavioural change is what will keep the cat away from your garden over the long term. Like most of us, cats can lose their hearing range as they get older so while the Catwatch cat deterrent is never going to work on all cats, its success rate is higher than other ultrasonic deterrents I have tested and is only second to thewater deterrents, the American Hoont Cobra and the the UK Pestbye cat sprayer. Conclusion I’ve got 2 cat deterrents. The first we bought over 25 years ago ….it got mishandled by builders who accidentally broke it about 13 years ago. That’s how I got a second one and in purchasing that I found they … the makers (Concept Research), did repairs. However, I thought I’d dispensed with the ‘broken’ one but I found it a few weeks ago in the shed. So I sent it off never thinking this 25 year old gadget could be repaired as it looked in a very bad state. However, the makers of this glorious and very effective gadget is now repaired and all it’s lost bits replaced and the repair fully completed. I’m so impressed that a deterrent aged at least 25 years old, that had suffered an accident with the builders, left in the shed for the past 10 years is now fully functional and deterring the neighbor ing cats from CATWatch, the UK's leading cat deterrent manufactured in the UK, has successfully completed a two-year scientific trial conducted by the RSPB to determine its deterrent effect on cats in residential gardens. The results are published in the Applied Animal Behaviour Science Journal after peer review.

Of all of the ultrasonic cat deterrents I’ve tested this was the only one that I was able to leave in its original position. The cats soon became accustomed to others I tested and several would just ignore the devices after a month or so unless I kept moving it around to keep them on their toes. Push the Catwatch ultrasonic cat deterrent into the ground, and when the sensor detects movement it emits a high-pitched sound disliked by most cats (but inaudible to humans). The frequency emitted is unique to cats hearing range, so the Catwatch won't bother other garden wildlife, such as hedgehogs.
