How & Why it Works
The CatStop is easy to use. Simply install a 9-volt battery and then place the
unit in your garden, with an unobstructed view of the area you want to protect.
There are no controls or adjustments. The built-in motion sensor detects any
cats entering the area and emits a piercing, high-decibel alarm that startles
the cat and frightens it away. Since the sound is ultrasonic, you and your
neighbors cannot hear it.
The CatStop is an effective cat deterrent for several reasons
- a powerful burst of ultrasonic sound startles the cat
- the cat equates the location with the unpleasant occurrence
- the cat avoids the location in the future
- unlike pest deterrents that operate continuously, the CatStop unit waits for the animal to come into its range before activating, making the function unpredictable for the cat, and therefore more effective.
