About this deal
Many people find cat-fouling a nuisance. This device is proven to reduce the presence of cats in gardens and the deterrent effect increases over time.

Every single CATWatch is hand-built and every single unit is individually tested before leaving the factory, as well as being provided with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Unlike many pest deterrents that operate continuously, CatWatch waits for the animal to enter the protected areaMains Adaptor– CATWatch is 30% more powerful when run off the mains, so it recommended that it is run from an adaptor where power is available. The cat learns that going in the protected area causes an unpleasant occurrence, therefore they stay away. Like most of us, cats can lose their hearing range as they get older so while the Catwatch cat deterrent is never going to work on all cats, its success rate is higher than other ultrasonic deterrents I have tested and is only second to thewater deterrents, the American Hoont Cobra and the the UK Pestbye cat sprayer. Conclusion Push the Catwatch ultrasonic cat deterrent into the ground, and when the sensor detects movement it emits a high-pitched sound disliked by most cats (but inaudible to humans). The frequency emitted is unique to cats hearing range, so the Catwatch won't bother other garden wildlife, such as hedgehogs.

Of all of the ultrasonic cat deterrents I’ve tested this was the only one that I was able to leave in its original position. The cats soon became accustomed to others I tested and several would just ignore the devices after a month or so unless I kept moving it around to keep them on their toes.
CATWatch, the UK's leading cat deterrent manufactured in the UK, has successfully completed a two-year scientific trial conducted by the RSPB to determine its deterrent effect on cats in residential gardens. The results are published in the Applied Animal Behaviour Science Journal after peer review. Both measures of deterrent effect appeared to increase with time over the period of the trials, suggesting cats were learning to avoid gardens with active devices, rather than becoming habituated to them.“ Requires mains 12-volt adaptor (available separately) or one 9-volt alkaline battery (not supplied). As you can also see, there are trees on the other side of both fences in this corner so it was an ideal spot for cats to gain access to our garden.

Some cats will see the device as a challenge initially, and it may take up to four weeks to put them off coming into your garden. Using the highest quality components, the CATWatch is also built to last. Its durable construction is suitable for withstanding the damp British climate, ensuring continued protection for your garden.

The manufacturer has an excellent reputation for producing high-quality animal deterrents, having formed close links with the RSPB, the Mammal Research Unit at the University of Bristol, and a range of home and garden publications and retailers.
