Bird-X Solar Yard Gard, Ultrasonic and Solar-Powered Animal Decoy Device with Motion Sensor, Easy to Install, Covers up to 3,000 sq. ft., 15-25 kHz Frequency, 8.5" x 7" x 4"

Update It took three plus days to get rid of my neighbors cats comming into our garden. This was costing us money to replace rubber mulch, flowers, and time on weekends to take back our garden. Bird X helped. The suggested frequency was not working for cats. My husband suggested to turn the frequency up high and it worked. You saved our garden. We were thinking about removing our garden and replace with concrete. We live on a cul de sac up on a hill and downhill. However, passers decides to let their dogs poop without scooping it up, we have signs with a camera pointed directly in that area. We bought another one and hid in our hedges and dogs and their owners keep moving. We love animals and don't mind if your dog have to go but its done on private property so have decency to scoop the poop. However, we don't own any pets, so its time consuming and costing us to clean after owners pets. We put down signs and its not neighborly.

Mainly it did not deliver the expected result, the sensor and the flashing light worked, but the birds (peacocks and rooster) continued to ignore the ultrasonic response. The Solar ultrasonic hardware was too low in height, had to continuously trim the surrounding grass, and if tilted a little the rain water got inside and damaged one of the pieces (not waterproof).

I've been using this product for over 2 years now, I'm quite satisfied! If you're finding that it's not keeping certain animals away, please read the manual. You have to adjust the settings for the type of animals that you're trying to keep away. Also, you shouldn't be hearing this at all. It omits a high frequency sound that only the animals can hear and one that they clearly do not like, this does not affect house pets. I've had black bears walk right by my feeders after putting this up. So again, read your manual and adjust your settings. You'll find this is really a great buy! They only cover a certain area, so if the area you need protected is fairly large, I highly suggest (for effectiveness) you pick up another.

Limited results after a few days. It kept birds away the first day but they are gradually returning and becoming pests again. Easy to use and setup, just wish it actually kept birds away.

I had a problem with multiple animals in my front and back yards: * The neighbors' cats loved making a litter box out of my front yard and came nightly to do their business. * Raccoons traveled through my back yard, as if they owned the place, and left their smelly and dangerous poop in my back yard. * Squirrels ran gleefully across my front and back lawns burying the goober peanuts and walnuts that my neighbor faithfully provided to them to keep them coming to his backyard. I was desperate for a solution so I started buying multiple motion-detected ultrasonic devices over the past several years. Of the different brands that I've purchased, the solar-powered Bird-X Solar Yard Guards have been the most reliable. They aren't as fancy as some of the other devices that you'll find on Amazon that include loud audible noises and flashing red lights but I've found that the Bird X are the most reliable. (Most of the other brands malfunctioned or stopped working altogether after a limited period of use.) If you have a decent size area to cover (as I did), you'll need to purchase multiple devices and position them so several devices are always going off at one time over the area that you want to protect. I call these zones Animal Annoyance Zones; they don't harm the animals but they annoy the heck out of them when multiple devices are going off at the same time. So, I'll give you the good news first. Here's what HAS worked with the Bird-X Solar Yard Guards: * They quickly annoyed the neighbors' cats that used to come into my yard — so much so, that now the cats avoid my yard completely. They literally will walk on the sidewalk or in the street in front of my house to avoid coming onto my property. I'm happy to report that my front yard is no longer the neighborhood litter box! * The raccoons took some time. (What can I say raccoons are stubborn beasts!) The raccoons would come through my yard and initially be startled by the strobe lights and then move away from my yard. Later, they would come back and investigate the devices to try and determine what they were and then quickly move through my yard to another location. I found that putting a motion detection device that flashed red lights at night with the Bird X Solar Yard Guards eventually drove the raccoons from my yard. They seemed to have gotten tired of dealing with all the audio frequency and flashing light activity. Now, the bad news! Here's what HAS NOT worked with the Bird-X Solar Yard Guards: * They are useless on squirrels (even when I used the recommended frequency which is different from the frequency for cats and raccoons)! I still have goober peanut shells all over my yard. Yesterday, I went through my front yard and found the neighborhood squirrels literally dug holes in front of several of my Bird-X devices. Clearly, the squirrels appreciated me putting these landmarks out for them so they can locate their buried nuts in the future! So, there you have it: if you're willing to buy multiple devices and position them correctly, these devices can work on some animals. However, if you're using these devices to drive Bullwinkles' friend - Rocky - out of your yard, Rocky is probably not going away anytime soon.

Excellent product

Me sorprende que funciona muy bien para perros y gatos desgraciadamente tengo vecinos irresponsables que no mantienen a sus mascotas en sus casas y venían a ser destrozos en la mía me ha funcionado para evitar que entren a mi casa. No sabía qué hacer y era desesperante no solucionar el problema, hay vecinos que hasta han envenenado a los animalitos por la irresponsabilidad de sus dueños y esta me pareció una excelente solución sin hacerles daño.

Nope doesn’t work…I should’ve listened to the reviews…..you should listen

No me sirvió, lo compré para mapaches y siguen metiéndose a mi jardin

Useless I do not recommend
