Seemed okay but might be better for people with a bigger lot. We live in a pretty densely populated area and our neighbors are quite close. I was pretty sure I couldn't use the audible alarm or lights without disturbing the neighbors but hoped the ultrasonic would be okay. We have rats that come for debris around the bird feeders and I'd rather discourage them than trap them. It did seem to have an effect and I saw less evidence of activity but I think it was also bothering some of the neighbors' pets so I stopped using it. If we had even a normal or medium sized lot I don't think it would be an issue. I'm not 100% sure how well it works, that is hard to judge. And no deterrent is going to be anywhere near 100% effective.

Nice unit. Ready to use right out of the box but it's recommended you give it a full charge before use. Easy to install, we'll made, loud with a good range. We'll priced.

Handy item. Makes a loud noise.

We had initial success with this device, as we noticed a decline in activity from the mole that had been causing issues in our yard. But over time we have become less confident in its overall effectiveness, especially when it comes to squirrels.Pros:• Motion detection: the motion detection is a solid feature, the device activates when animals or even people move nearby.• Light and sound modes: the four different modes, especially the loud ones, may initially be effective in scaring off animals, though they could be bothersome to humans or neighbors.• Versatility in mounting: the option to mount it on the ground, wall, or fence allows you to position it strategically for better coverage.• Solar power: the solar charging option eliminates the need for constant battery changes, which is a great convenience and environmentally friendly.Cons:• Diminishing effectiveness: over time, the deterrent effect might wear off. The animals could become habituated to the noise or light. • Noise concerns: modes 3 and 4, while possibly effective, could be disruptive, especially to neighbors. This could make it less practical in residential areas.• Limited impact on gophers/moles: given that gophers and moles spend most of their time underground, they may not be as sensitive to the device’s sounds or lights as other animals.While it could still be useful for some surface-dwelling pests in the short term, it hasn't proven to be a long-term solution for us, particularly for the squirrels that seem to just ignore it. For persistent pests, you may need to explore a combination of deterrents or consult a professional pest control service for a more targeted approach.

This pest deterrent was very easy to assemble and seems reasonably well built; no gaps or spots for water to get into. The solar panel is smooth and fully a part of the product. There are 4 domed motion sensors around the deterrent with 2 red LED lights in each quadrant.I’ve used similar devices for other purposes so I have realistic expectations. The sounds/lights are an annoying distraction to animals and they leave. However, animals have a way of learning that the flashy/noisy thing didn’t actually hurt them and start ignoring it. Even the deer that used to run away now ignore my frantically barking dog. But if I can get a few plants in the garden to grow and keep the squirrels off the deck and birdhouse it’s worth it. I’ll bring it in and out to keep them guessing.My observations:• It’s very sensitive; only a slight motion and it goes off• The detection range was about 12 – 15 feet• The lights aren’t that bright; they are just LEDs (with reflectors so they stand out but just aren’t penetratingly bright. The dome that I thought would be a light is actually the motion sensor• The siren sound is quite loud; you hear it and wouldn’t want to hang around it but it doesn’t hurt your ears. I don’t think I can use that though or the neighbors would consider me a pest• The device will charge itself with the sun, unless you have some cloudy days. It comes with a USB charging cable. I don’t like that the one end is a barrel connector (the other is USB-A); why it’s not some common form of USB I have no idea. Now I have to keep up with the special charging cable• You can mount it on the included stake or attach to a wall/fencepost• I can’t tell how well it works as a deterrent yet. If I don’t see something, did it not come or did it run away? I’ll need to watch for a few weeks to see whether less of the plants/grass/yard get destroyed by the squirrels, deer, and elk.

The device was ordered to repel the uncontrolled invasion of shrub/plant eating deer in our suburban neighborhood. The device mostly works as represented and makes a racket when it is triggered by an animal or human moving within detection range, nearby. It does seem to repel deer.It has several good features that distinguish it from similar products. First, comes with a ball joint configured to be mountable either on a wall or fence, as well as a stake that can alternativelyg be used to support the device about 2 feet above ground. Second, it has multiple sensors and loudspeakers to provide 360 decgree coverage with minimal blind spots.It hasn't been in place long enough at this time to assess long term durability/reliability.

The sensor does a good job of detecting critters, but the ultrasonic alarm doesn’t seem to bother the raccoons. They don’t run away, they just walk right by it. I have seen the frequency of the raccoons showing up decline which I attribute to the alarm.
