I want to get rid of bobcats jumping my 4ft fence to come into my backyard. I have small dogs in the yard. Will this deter bobcats ?

I have not purchased this ultra sonic device and I have no idea why I keep receiving questions on this product. I purchased 18 Nite Guard Solar Predator Control Lights which are placed in a large circle around our house. We had a problem with coyotes coming near the house between dusk and dawn, which caused the dogs to start barking, waking us up, etc. Since installing these flashing red lights over 2 years ago, we have not had any coyotes near the house at night. We also have bobcats, but to my knowledge, the bobcats have not come near the house so I do not know if the lights are a bobcat deterrent. We have 5 dogs (ranging from a toy Yorkie to a 72 lb. greyhound), 3 cats and we live in a rural area with all kinds of wildlife. Personally, I would not rely on any device, or even our 8' high fence, to protect our animals from bobcats or coyotes. If the animals are outside, even inside the 8' ft high fence, a human is always with them. I saw the other response of the scarecrow sprinkler and I plan on buying several of these sprinklers to scare away bunnies, etc. once I finish my green house and new vegetable beds, but I doubt a sprinkler will stop a hungry bobcat or coyote from jumping a 4' fence.

I don't think it will help you. It will only deter timid animals like deer or squirrels. Bobcats are more aggressive animals and the ultrasonic sound will not have much effect. I suggest you try one of the items that others here recommend.

NO! Search Amazon for the Scarecrow. It's a motion-detecting sprinkler. I have one in my yard and it scares off cats, dogs and other animals. It's the only thing that has worked. Don't waste money on "ultrasonic" junk.

We do not recommend any of our chargers to deter bears. When touching a fence, they may become angry and violent. We apologize for any inconvenience.

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?

I don't know if it is designed to deter larger animals. The only animals we have had trouble with is mice, for which this device is excellent.

That was sort of my situation, and it didn't bother my cat or the other cats,, but it did seem to draw predators like foxes. this did not work for me at all. Waste of money. You'd be better off getting the thing that's motion activated and squirts water, then you can aim it away from your cats and the strays will hate it.

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"

Basically yes. The idea is to give a minor shock to the animal so it is a deterrent from going close to the wire. I have the wire on the posts, as instructed, with the idea that it would keep beavers out of our yard. It has worked good but you have to be careful in putting up the wire not to leave openings where animals can move through without going near the wire. So i had to redraw my line and put the wire up to cover all areas that the beaver would walk through. Since then, the beaver has never been back in our yard. However, I have seen rabbits jump over the wire so you might have to do a double wire for other animals. It doesn't bother the birds. For some reason it seems to be keeping the deer out of the yard also but the moose doesn't seem to be bothered by the wire. I'm not sure i answered your question?

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

Probably not. I got it to try and keep skunks raccoons, possums, and cats away, they are still coming around. Wish I could find something to keep them away

Yes it will work. But, I found out some of my cats can go thru. and others can jump it. Dogs respect it.

Since I did not use it to deter deer, I don't know. However, that does not stop me from answering your question. Drape the netting over plants and trees the best way you can, tying parts of it to branches. If that doesn't work, try poles, or anything else you can think of. The netting completely protected plants against squirrels. it did not help much on the lawn.

I guess it would depend on how large the bobcat was because I think some are very large. I have trapped raccons many times with no problem. In fact one time I had two small coons at he same time.

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.

These will have an effect on your cats. They are extremely strong smelling and offensive to the cats. We used them to get rid of stray cats hanging out in the back yard and on the porch. The cats did not like them at all and do not hang around the premises any more; thus, I would think your own cats would try to get away from the deterrent triangles. You might try them on the exterior perimeter of your yard if that's at all possible.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with that. I was using it to get rid of chipmunks. We don't have any outdoor cats in the area.

Your best bet is to mount the transmitter high enough off the ground say 3 to 4 feet or more so that it will not detect the cats walking under it. This unit is one of the best out there for it's price and reliance. Well worth the money!

It won't harm the animals but just teach them to not go in the vicinity of the fence. I use hot wire to keep livestock in and predators out. It doesn't work on bears that have heavy coats and just smash down the fence or big cats that will jump the fence.
