I am looking for something to keep cats out of my raised vegetable beds. Will this work for that?

No. Try this search. I would use deer netting. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=deer+netting

Keeps cats away. Nothing to do with birds since they are usually higher up.

Probably not. Also this is too low a quantity to dose a garden with. Try a cat repellent or scattering pinecones in your garden

Most likely, the elastic netting fits well on my full/queen, not gaps with room to for thick 3" mattress topper and 9" featherbed. I do not know how any product can truly protect against dogs and cats.

I used it full strength outdoors to stop cats from wollowing out bare spots on my lawn. It didn't work.

Absolutely, this keeps deer out of our yard. Be careful with neighbors pets or your own pets This works great Crank it up on settings initially and use A/C power cord It will keep squirrels away from feeder as well

It will work wonderfully with a cover. When I set it up inside for practice and to acclimate my dogs, one or the other of my cats moved in and I couldn't take it down for several days (or I didn't for them). They used it to keep the dogs out! I bought The Proselect Ex-pen octagon cover. Very easy to put on and remove. I have the 48" tall pen, so I think that helped too.

I am currently trying it for rabbits ... doesn't seem to be keeping them out of my garden.Also, be aware it is very stinky and red in color so it will stain.

I used this in a raised bed, some large containers, and around some newly planted plants. It seemed to help keep the critters out of those, but I think it would take a truckload to work around my fence, and eventually the rain washes it away. On my fence I have tried putting a one-foot-wide chicken wire topper to discourage them climbing over, tree tanglefoot spread on the chainlink, spraying with garlic oil, spraying with orange oil, even aluminum foil. I just purchased an electric fence charger and wire from amazon and will be installing that near the top of the fence. Maybe THAT will stop the raccoons.

As long as it's not sprayed on vegetable. Spray around them, not on them. I bought it for ground squirrels and it worked for me.

It should, if you wire it up with the hot/ground wires close enough together. I use mine with alternating hot/ground wires (2 each, so four lines total) around my 15x5 raised garden beds. The wires are spaced 6" apart. I had lots of problems with raccoons eating my corn, and the first night I set it up, I heard a satisfying zap and yelp from one of the buggers through an open window. No problems since. As a side note, this unit sends a pulse every 1 second or so. It won't kill an animal on contact, which is what I was looking for, but it definitely will cause some pain. I tested it on myself by using my arm to complete the circuit so I knew it would be be strong enough, and I felt it was appropriate to test on myself before using on critters. Hehe. My arm tingled for a good 5-10 min, but didn't cause any damage. Good luck!

Yes, this works great for me. It keeps all critters out except chipmucks which scoot right under the wire. I run two strands of wire: one about an inch or two above the ground and one around six inches higher so groundhogs, rabbits, etc. cannot get in without touching the wire. If you want to keep deer out, you will have to run a strand higher up as well, maybe 3-4 feet high.FYI: anything that touches the wire will short it out so you have to keep weeds and garden plants from touching the wire.

I would suggest only using this in a protected area (away from heavy rain/wind) as it is rather light in weight. We have it on a covered porch and our feral cats (2-3 at a time) curl up inside it.

Get a main Scat Mat (the one with the battery pack included) and any extensions you need to cover the length of your counters. My brother and sister-in-law used these to keep their Labrador off their counters. That's how I got the idea to use it to keep my cats off my daughter's bed.

Hi Irene,Sadly this product did not work outside to thwart my neighbors cat who got into using my patio flower boxes. I then tried orange oil, pricey did not work. I ended up fencing these areas. A friend has your same inside problem and put tin foil down and little by little her cat is coming back to the litter box.

This detects squirrels on the front porch, so I would expect it would work for cats. The detector can be mounted and masked to detect motion only in a particular area.

Look for Preen Vegetable garden Weed Preventer. It is designed especially for this use and is organic. It also provides nutrients for vegetable plants. It will not stop established weeds from emerging, but sure works wonders at preventing new weeds from taking over. This product does list many vegetables that it can be used for, but I prefer the other product around the veggie garden.
