Has anyone purchased one recently and got it to function?
The one I bought was by Home Defence and would not work reliably. Learnt it was very old stock so was returned.
Would like to try again as I think it would protect my veg patch from my cats.

It worked fine for several years.
I often forgot about it and would get a soaking as I walked down the garden tho...

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
We were getting a lot of damage in the garden. I suspected badgers and set up a wildlife camera. Turned out to be both badgers and a cat.
My neighbour recommended Voss Sonic 2000 Animal Repeller.
I wasn't convinced but thought it worth a try so bought a couple.
I set one to cat and one to badger and they are working well.
No damage in the last 2 months, when we used to have a problem every 3 or 4 days.

I live in a Scottish valley, so at this time of the year we don't get any sun on most of the garden for anything like 6 hours. The devices work fine anyway. All I do is plug them in every ten days or so to top the power. This is probably more often than needed, but I don't want them to run out and stop working.
It just takes a couple of hours each time, the red light stops flashing when they're done. I do it during the daytime as the cat and the badgers are nocturnal visitors.
So far so good here .... I might pick up another for by a tree in another part of the garden.
Good luck if you decide to try.
