Can this device work if placed behind a garage door and not outside? I have a problem with stray cats who are pooping in front of my garage door.

i would say no, because it works with a sensor and if you will have a door between a can and this device, how it will sens a cat?

Won't work behind something. Uses IR sensor to activate, so it must be in a direct line of sight from the target cat. Also... it worked for about 2-3 days for my indoor cat who always wants outside. Varied the frequency, but didn't really help. Might be better for a stray cat now and then.

Well, it's random and that's what sends the cats running. I know when I'm outside, I trigger it, but it's not right away and I hear this scratchy noise. It's not very loud for me, but I know it's loud enough for the cats and that I still don't have cats pooping in my garden, so it's working.

dont really know but i am sure it might help some but only in any enclosed area like a garage, small home. there are systems that are made for the outside of a home or garage. that kind helps with racoons, possums, mice, deer, rabbits & some birds & other critters, good lUCK !!!

It would have to work only on a slot mailbox that has some type of mechanism that allows the motion sensor to be moved. I use a "driveway alert" fixed motion sensor that is perfect. When the mail is dropped into the slot, the mail slips past the sensor and it triggers the "alert" to send a signal to the receiver in the house.

If the unit currently isn't near a window, the external device will help. I have used the external antenna in two locations -- one with the antenna right at the window, and the second with the antenna outside mounted on the side of the building. Both situations were resolved with the external antenna.

I don't think so, only when it's below freezing. Plug it in outside & as soon as it gets cold you'll know for sure if it's working. Great item for my feral porch kitties

HI, was not for me, but may be for some cats. Mine, jumped in and did their thing... Love it when they walz in house from outdoors and go to the litter box. I pick their little butts up and put them back OUTSIDE!!! LOL

I mainly use this to keep my cat's away from my lizards but it should work if you set it up correctly or you can always build a cattery outside

This device works via sonic waves. Any barrier between the device and the dog will absorb and lessen those waves. If your barking dog is nearby, the sonic waves will still have an effect if sent thru a glass pane but if the dog is at the outer range of the 50 foot effective area, the Bark Free will not be effective. It is best to have no barrier or any sort between the dog and the Bark Free. That means fences, bushes, trees, windows....anything that will absorb sound waves will lessen the effectiveness. I kept my unit outside a second floor window, pointed downward so nothing was between it and the neighbor's dog and it worked wonderfully.

This high sided litterbox works best for cats who spray rather than squat when urinating, like my cat. The walls prevent the pee or poop from ending up around the outside of the box...unless your cat hangs their rear end out of the entrance. If your cat is old and missing the box, perhaps he/she has other issues that should be checked out by a qualified veterinarian. I hope this helps you.

I am troubleshooting it to see how I can respond and help you with this question. Make sure you pull the lever to the plate where they step on as far back as possible, then hook it onto the hinge lever and test it. That seems to be the only way these traps work. ai have many years working with these kind of traps rescuing stray cats....

No. I don't see how one could and I don't think it would be a good idea. This is a great and useful thing for giving cats a taste of the outdoors, or even using it indoors to keep them from getting under foot, but you still need to monitor them when they're in it.

I have neighbor cats that don't seem to mind. Since I can't hear the frequency it sends out, I really don't know if they hear or not. Don't point it at your house/where cats are, instead point in direction of the problem animals and AWAY from your home. I understand some animals effected and some are not....( just like people ) :)

I use it outside to keep the cats away. It will keep all strays away. It works well outside, and it also works in the rain.

I had no success with this deterring our cat at all. He just found it interesting. I put it outside (in a protected area) to deter the neighbor's cat from using our yard as his litter box...equally unsuccessfully. Maybe it works better on dogs?

We use it for stray cats outdoors, under a open patio. We were able to put a heater inside that plugged into an outdoor outlet. 3 strays we feed wintered nights in the igloo as it gets cold in the winter in Colorado. They wouldn't go in if we went out the sliding glass door to the patio and if they were in they would scatter. But after we went back in the house they would return to the igloo to keep warm

Probably not. It doesnt work if I go outside in my garage (detached) and its right next to my house
