Pest XT Jet Spray Battery Operated Motion Sensor Activated Cat and Fox Scarer & Repellent - Animal/Wildlife Repeller, Deters Garden Pests, Connects to Garden Hose (Single Pack)

A bit fiddly to set up and the unit itself is quite top heavy and therefore difficult to secure the spike solidly, so that it doesn’t move.I used quality batteries that are lasting ages (6 weeks so far). However the key point is - IT WORKS! Within a wFew weeks it was clear that it had become an effective deterrent and my cats now don’t go anywhere near it. Much better than the sonic versions of these types of repellent, which didn’t work, and because you can’t hear them it is impossible to tell whether it is emitting a sound or not. If it did, my cats ignored it. This model shoots and scatters a water spray and the noise alone now makes my cats keep away from it. It works!

I bought this to deter pigeons on my new lawn. Worked great and also strayed the cats, foxes and my daughters thought it was a great game in the summer. Only issue I pushed it into the ground and the plastic peg broke and now it’s unusable. Need to arrange a replacement part but no idea how on amazon.

Easy to set up after a simple mechanical adjustment, all in the instructions. Providing one has a decent mains water pressure, a fresh set of batteries, I use AA Lithium batteries for longevity. Very powerful, highly effective spray. Well made unit that is surprisingly a lot of kit for the money.Awarded four stars for now having just purchased the pest spray.

I received this item a few weeks ago on 7 September. Initially it was very effective and seemed to deter the foxes and other people's cats from fouling my garden. It stopped working a couple of days ago. It came with a sheet proclaiming '12 months guarantee' but my deadline for returning it to Amazon a few days previously and as this sheet also advised contacting the Supplier (BVG Group) before returning, I did just that. BVG then advised me that as I had purchased it from Amazon, I should contact them. This was not easy as none of the drop-down menus were relevant to my problem. Eventually, in desperation, I pretended I had a complaint about a Kindle download and the assistant managed to transfer me to a retail assistant who has arranged a refund. Questions for Amazon - why do you make it so difficult to return faulty goods by applying a return-by date that does not coincide with the actual guarantee? Perhaps you should look at The Consumer Rights Act 2015. In my opinion, this item is not fit for purpose.

Did what was expected for the first few months but a) didn’t bother the fox enough and b) has now split and broken. The water goes up through the base and it’s only joined by a plastic thread which has split so that water just sprays constantly out of the bottom. Looking for a return option from amazon but don’t seem to have one now

Arrived on time. Worked from the very night it was set up and I’ve had it a month now. Only one random incident of cat poo, so 29/30 nights isn’t bad considering the neighbour’s cat was doing its business every night in the garden before I got this. Original batteries still going strong, even though the odd car/pedestrian has been setting it off during the night also! Covers a reasonable spray angle, have to give this 5/5.

So far, so good... In terms of solving my problem with the neighbourhood moggies using my small lawn as a toilet, which I assume to be an indication that the motion sensor is sensitive enough to detect a cat sized critter. That's all I care about. It works for me. One week and no cat poo! I'm happy!However there are some quality of control issues to be aware of. There are three ways you can adjust this sprinkler's settings: distance of spray, arc of spray, and sensitivity of motion sensor, and three out of three settings do not work... The distance setting knob makes no difference, the means of adjusting the arc does work properly, and the sensor seems set at one level of sensitivity and there's no means of turning it off! That's pretty poor! Luckily for me the spray distance is adequate for my tiny lawn, the arc of the spray is sufficient without using the rotating mechanism, and the sensitivity seems adequate. I can simply turn it off at the tap and turn the sensor to one side to effectively turn the thing off.Anyway, luckily for me, despite these faults, it does the job.Now, let's see how long it lasts!Update: a new design fault has manifested itself... The sun and shadows seem to trigger it off... So if you have any overhead foliage casting any kind of shadows falling over the sensor... It goes off! I think the morning sun shining into it does the same too... FFS!Also seals aren't great either.... I shall persist with it as it still works as intended : keeps the filthy cats off!

Easy to install and setup. We were getting daily fouling of our lawn from the local cats and as we have young children around the house the sonic deterrents were not an option so we thought we would try this. It has worked extremely well as we have had no mess in 7 days. I have seen it in action, when we first installed it, and the offending feline couldn't get out of the garden quick enough. No cats ware harmed but they are certainly not happy since this bad boy came to town. (PS. It is also highly amusing when family members wander down the garden having forgotten to turn it off and end up running the Gauntlet LOL)
