Has anyone used these lights to deter a wandering coyote??

I have coyotes, mountain lions, bears, and bobcats on the ranch behind my place. Never had coytoes or mountain lions come into my chickens, had a bear wander through and was more interested in my bird feeds hung around off and on for a month. Coons and foxes don't usually come up here from the valley, we're about 500 feet higher and dryer. I have had bobcats, great horned owls, skunks and once a raccoon. Since I've had the nite gards I've never had any night time predators. Usually by this time of year I have trapped 3 - 5 skunks, but have had none this year. Which is a first in 10 years.

Sorry I know there are coyote in the area, but racoons and possums are the things we have the most trouble with.

Hi, no coyotes, but I don't think it would work. Raccoons and skunk have walked right in front of, and around mine- these would not scare off a coyote.

Bon: Haven't seen a single coyote since we put them up on our patio! They do work well for skunks and raccoons though.

Yes to the video however unless the Coyotes are within 10 to 15' of the camera at night or up to 30' during the day you won't get a good picture. I mounted mine on a light pole at about 18' high and anything outside the base plus maybe 10' of the pole is not clear and at night it is half that. I think its better to use a Camera rated for several hundred feet when using outside and then you may get half that range that is useful.

I have had nothing but luck out of mine! Works AWESOME! I have called in a Coyote with it already!

Hi,The Yard Sentinel is very effective against Coyotes. We would recommend using the cat/dog range indicated on the frequency unit as a guideline for setting the unit for dogs.Rick JCustomer serviceDeal Republic

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

Can't verify the use of the Coyote for deer. I use him in my garden area to keep dogs from using my lawn as a potty. I can tell you when I lived in the woods the only thing that did help with deer was deer fenceng and spraying the plants that the deer fencing did not cover with my own solution of eggs / hot sauce / water!

I haven't but this light overall is pretty weak. I tried to use it for mountain biking in the evening and it was insufficient. I am instead purchased a 4000 light off of ebay for 30 bucks with a rechargeable battery pack and it was awesome. Only drawback is that it interferes with computer.

No. Sorry I was off mark in my previous response, I was inadvertently looking at wrong item. You get what you pay for. These lights just aren't wearing well and the sensor isn't particularly responsive on 2 of the 3 I purchased, and to the best of my knowledge, not distance adjustable. No worries tho; these def don't go 30 feet.

Hi JT, I don't have rabbits in my area (or they have never been an issue), I use it to keep away the neighborhood cats who were using my yard as a litter box. I use the setting for cats, (mid-range) and it has been working really well, I am very pleased and can recommend the strobe Yard Sentinel for the same situation :)

Short answer....YES. I have four of these operating outside lights and found them easy to install and function well. One problem, night critters (cats, raccoons, etc.) will turn them on. I set up a night camera and found what was causing it. Hope this helps..P'Cola Bob

Predator Guard deterrent lights are designed to repel 'wild animals' - if raccoon have become habituated to a home or property and have been visiting your yard regularly for some time, Predator Guard lights will have less effect. If raccoon are still 'wild' and visit your area only occasionally, Predator Guard lights will be more effective. Many people have success using ammonia-soaked rags as a 'smell deterrent' and hot pepper flakes as a 'taste deterrent' alongside Predator Guard lights.

No. I have had a few issues with them now.. My son still has bugs and we keep his space very clean. You cannot tell if they actually work and I do believe I got a few duds. I do not recommend it for small animals like a racoon. Get yourself a live trap!

It should work pretty well finding your dogs but scaring off a mountain lion I don't know about that but if you shine it on the mountain lion the light is bright enough that it probably won't see you.

Yes, they work very well to keep doves away. I was sitting on my covered porch and saw a dove fly in and it was looking for a place to land but couldn't because of the bird spikes. It just hovered around a few seconds and then flew off. :)

I have two predators and they blink with different patterns. So far no damage from deer and rabbits. Try restarting by removing battery and replacing.

Hi. Unfortunately they cannot be programmed I have one in my backyard for my dog. It will usually stay on for 30-35 seconds. The sensor is pretty good with movement I also like the brightness of it Takes 4 D batteries. Durcells work well

No. 1st night in service I flipped on the outdoor flood light and discovered 4 Blacktail deer munching grass 20' away from this device. They had not been exposed to this before. It's a bit irritating blinking all night. I wonder if it would be more effective if it had a motion detector on off function, like most solar LED security lights.
