I want to deter rats and mice but not my cat. Will this equipment accomplish that?

I got one to deter deer which I am happy to say it seems to work. Another was placed to deter armadillos. I'm not real sure how it has affected them. They really did a number on flower beds before I got it set up. I'm not sure about rats and mice. If they are on the list for these give them a shot. Make sure that you set them up correctly. You may also have to set them up tilted down toward the ground and not on the ground. We also have neighborhood cats in our yard unaffected by this machine.

Why doesn't the cat get the mice and rats??? I have no idea as to your question. I use it to deter deer.

Really don't know. Doesn't sound like a good idea. A good mouser cat should do the job.

Even some frequency setup for different animals, from my experience, it works very weakly

It's supposed annoy all rodents with sensitive hearing, from guinea-pigs to squirrels. It works like a dog whistle. However, It didn't work for me or my mice problem in the garage. I resorted to cats and enclosed sticky traps.

This device did not work for my situation. Never caught a mouse or rat with the device.

I don't have this experience, but this equipment doesn't repel cats and dogs on my yard by using ultrasonic with low volume of sonic.

It works on mice, but not for rats. I think they have one formalated for rats, tho. Look at the website. That's the best I can offer.

I havent caught anything other than rats but thats because i used it indoors. If you put bait that attracts squirrels i would imagine it will catch them. I would suggest looking for a "humane rodent trap" that wont harm them if you are worried about that

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.

I would think this trap would work wonderfully for rats. I've caught chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits with... mice however, would more than likely be too small.

I'm not sure if deters rats but the safest way to keep rodents out is to keep doors closed plug any openings with steel wool n keep the home clean if they can't find stuff to eat they will move in

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.

I do not have a rat issue. My problem is with field mice in the winter. The device has had limited success with the mice so my thought would be that it would not work with rats. Good luck and I hope you find a solution.

I assume that it will work on rats as well as the mice and squirrels that it's worked on in my attic.

It all depends on the distance from the sensor to the object. Close up it would detect both. At a certain distance it would not detect cats but detect humans. I'm guessing that would be greater than 20' or 30' or so.

Yes, it keeps mice and rats completely away from your home (including inside the walls). Remember, you have to give it a couple weeks to work completely. When you plug it in, make sure it's on the correct setting and then leave it alone.

No. It didn't keep anything away. Not cats, mice, moles, voles, gophers or chipmonks.

Yes, probably would work for mice or rats, question is if mice are heavy enough to drop the doors, but I would venture to guess they would and the mesh wire is small enough to keep all but the most tiny in the trap.

Gutter Brushes would work as a deterrent, but I don't believe they would be sufficient to stop a determined rodent.
