The cat breeder and trainer expert confirms that it will not get the cats to come into any area than they already do. It will just train them how to behave when they do.
If a cat comes onto my property I want it to leave immediately … not crap.
Members of my family have cats … they do not leave the house unsupervised and do not leave their own garden/territory … for their own safety and for their neighbours’ enjoyment of their own property.
I should not have to provide my neighbours’ pets with toilet facilities.

We used to have cats but after the last one died we agreed not to get another as they are so devastating to baby birds. As I want to encourage more birds into the garden I shoo out the neighbours' cats when I see them. They do poo in the garden - even in the middle of the lawn. OH clears it up. If it's in the borders I clear it up but quite often I just detect a lingering whiff of it. It doesn't happen often enough for me to worry too much about it - just one of those things. And the nepeta will be going as that is a big draw for them.
My 2 dogs don't take any notice of the sonic thing,nor do the cats,but my youngest daughter finds it uncomfortable. So humans can hear them. I've got some hearing loss,and at certain angles I can hear it.Hosta I already posted you a quid!!
There's definitely a certain viewpoint by many misguided people that cats are 'just doing what cats do' and it's all fine and dandy, and everyone else should just deal with it. It's not though, as several of us have said - many times. If I still had young children, or if I had grandchildren visiting, I shouldn't have to check the garden first to see if it's safe for them to play in it. Some of the sonic devices seem to be better than others @Nanny Beach. I've never found them to be effective, but the one @Bee witched mentioned earlier this year [I think it was the Voss 2000] seemed to work for her, and she has a big plot to cover. I'm tempted to get one because of the frost problem with the scarecrows, which means I'm without it for around 6 months of the year. More money.....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Where we live, front gardens are open plan,you're not allowed to put up fence,or shrubs on the boundary) it's also car parking and folk allow their dogs to ****in the garden, really annoys me! Also means when you "pick up" you inevitably loose some of the shingle. I tried laying bits of my holly on my daughters garden,the cats just scraped and did what they did. Hubby has literally just finished a raised bed on the patio just outside the conservatory,we put 200 bulbs in there,"something" has dug a hole,soil all over the slabs,it's pouring,so I haven't investigated,but my dog has just gone out,and is inspecting it,so maybe the dreaded feline. He's not normally interested in holes!
Those sonic weapons do affect people's brains even though the frequency is higher than our usual audible range. Some people with sensitive hearing can actually hear and be tortured by them.
Have you heard of those sonic weapons that Cubans used on US spies and US people working in the consulate there a couple of years ago? The frequency of those were only a bit higher and they were made very sick without anyone being able to pin point the reason for their sickness for a very long time.
Wish we could say the same, bl**dy things are stripping the bark in the small bit of woodland and the more they’ve increased, the more the birds have decreased.

Possibly squirrels if you get them - for your bulbs?
