I thought I saw on cat from hell that this was used on outdoor area where there was dirt and cats were peeing in. Does this work on outside like under decks or stairs where outside cats are going???

I have never used it outside. I watch that show as well =) It's a great product but perhaps trying to sprinkle pepper or lemon rinds will help. Best of luck to you.

I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats. I think a lot depends on how soaked the area is as well. I'm only guessing that an area that is really soaked underneath (carpet pad, soil?) is harder to deter than a fresh one. If I were testing the idea, I'd spray the area and let it soak a bit to get rid of the urine odor and then perhaps rinse off the pea gravel to get rid of the Fizzion. Even if you can't smell it anymore, I think your cat could for a while anyway. In my atrium, occasionally a stray sprays one of the outside walls. I spray it down with Fizzion but ,eventually, it gets sprayed again.

The vacuum has a small container for the dirt. This may not stand up to your cat's mess. It works well for cleaning my carpet and hardwood floors but we have a small apartment. It is not a great expense, though. Perhaps, you should try it.

No. It didn't work at all with my cats. I used it for months and they just walked right past it.

Our home only has a wood deck, which overlooks the water, so the only thing I can see if you were to place this on the grass, is the cat might be able to sneek under and get loose or the wind, might lift this unit high enough, so the cat can escape??

Yes, it works on cat urine if the urine is fresh - If you leave your cat for a weekend and the urine is dry by the time you return it may work. It depends on the material. There is a version of the product specific for cat urine and I've not seen a difference. It's important not to try water or soap first and the worse the stain the more time it needs to soak. I use multiple towels to try todraw the urine out. Nothing is perfect but this is the best product for the job.

I have 6 indoor/outdoor cats in my house right now (I foster kitties) so trust me when I say, yes, it's GREAT for flea control! If it weren't for this vacuum, I would not be able to let the cats outside, or I'd probably have to flea bomb on a regular basis. Fleas never seem to be an issue, and it's great that you can easily empty the container into a plastic bag, right after you vacuum.

I put it in my garden because of a stray cat using it as a litter box. I took out a lot of the old dirt, put in new dirt and added mulch along with half the container of Critter Ridder. The next day I saw another cat using it as a litter box.

That's the same reason I got mine! I stupidly connected the first one in my kitchen, and, wow, my cats bolted out of the room. But it seems to have no effect on them when they are set up outside - of course, it's Texas and I don't open my windows.... and the catstops point away from the house. Actually I only use them long enough to get other cats out of the habit of coming into my yard... then I loan them to friends who also have a cat problem!

I used this in my garage to keep ferel cats out. It worked very well for that. Once the cats were out I am working on bats in my attic, it seems to work for this also. Time will tell I have only had it on for a week or two. The weather here has not been very warm until the last few nights, that's when the bats like to come out.

From my experience and how mine is mounted it that it will work. Being that close to a step cats will be able to sneak under and dogs will be able to reach head under and cause problems.

No, the cord is for indoors. My cats love them! I wish now I would have gotten them sooner. Now, if you could add an outdoor extension cord and the cord that is attached does not get wet, then it could work outdoors. Again, you have to make sure it dos not come into contact with any water.

Unfortunately no, but ive heard that putting dog urine (nasty i know) would help by putting it around the border of your yard. This product helps with when a cat urinates and you need to clean it up and get rid of the smell but it is good to put around if that stray cat was there because itll erase its "territory"

I would not. It's not built for outdoors. They make SSSCAT Training Aid that is a motion detected can that sprays the offender. Can use with small animals outside. I saw Jackson Galaxy (My Cat From Hell) use it in TV. I wish I knew what you were doing. I'm not a vet or anything but have a lot of experience with animals. For outdoors you probably need a "comprehensive program". Try the SSSCAT. Or get a motion detector sprinkler if that would work. Good Luck. Liane

Used it on cat pee on a hardwood floor. The new cat had no inclination to pee where the old cat had.

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

Yes, it can be used on all surfaces. I have three cats that urinate on my unfinished basement floor. When the urine has soaked into the floor for a time, it can take 2-3 applications of Fizzion (pour it on, let it sit until dry) to get rid of the odor, but it does work for these applications. Vertical brick or cement surfaces might take even more applications, because the liquid may not be able to soak in quickly enough before it runs off. Finely misting these surfaces numerous times should get rid of the odor, however.
