Will the Yard Sentinel keep squirrels and rats out of my mango trees?

Returned, not suitable for my purposes, to keep domestic animals from my yard.

I doubt it. It didn't have any effect on ducks, geese, squirrels, birds or rabbits. Another buyer said the only way it would chase anything away is if you throw it at them. I have to agree.

It kept birds away. Rodents got used to it. Get a cat, or launch projectiles with a barreled instrument.

i'm not positive- the container says "deer, rabbits, and tree squirrels that feed on flowers, plants, shrubs, bulbs, trees, and seedlings". i bought this to keep rabbits away; i can say, however, that we have absolutely neither squirrels nor chipmunks in our yard.

I've used it for several years and it has worked beautifully on mice and squirrels (judging from critters the people around me have fought), but I don't know about rats.

Not sure about it working on squirrels but it definitely works on gophers.. We broke the blocks into pieces and put it at the junctions of the tunnels the things were making in our yard

The material is pretty flimsy so I doubt it would stop a determined squirrel. That being said I didn't have any squirrel problem at all. Whether it was because of the material waving in the wind or the fact that I trap any squirrels I see in my yard and export them across the river I don't know.Keep Smiling

The sparrows are the largest ones that can get in to it. Mostly chickadees and it will keep out the squirrels. They tried and finally gave up.

First of all, squirrels bring to an area...a rat's favorite food, PEANUTS. That being said, I haven't noticed a lack of squirrels in my yard and I have this stuff out 24/7 My last application has been in place for about 5 months with out being touched by any critter. That is just what I wanted.

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.

I live in wooded area in northern MN. Lots of squirrels attracted to squirrel-proof bird feeders... Squirrels crawl up over warm engine blocks of vehicles parked jusr outside of garage doors. nibble on electrical wire coverings and heater components. Very expensive repairs... I purchased POBD-1-02 several weeks ago, plugged it into garage wall socket, and all squirrels immediately disappeared from my yard! Now, several weeks after I installed the pest control unit in my garage, I saw squirrels in both my front and backyard bird feeders. Unplugged and moved pest control unit to new closer wall location, squirrels didn't leave... Please advise...

Yes. I got this to prevent birds and squirrels from eating my buds. It works.

Do not know about rats,or skunks,because i do not have a problem with them,but Squirrels. I still have them! Did not work for those pesky little rodents. I purchased two of them figuring it would be a double wammy ,but they are still running around the attic.

Not particularly squirrel proof but does a great job keeping away hornets and wasps. If you hang it from a thin diameter shepards hook and spray that with silicon it will make it very tough for the squirrels to get at it.

Don't know. Mine keeps 98 percent of the birds off of my deck and porch, but every once-in-a-while I get a persistent bird that will try to walk around the spikes when its after a bug. Your squirrels might try the same thing to get at something that they want. I would say its better than having nothing at all though. Get a small box of the spikes and if they work you can always order more.

I think you're on the right track but it sure sounds like a lot of work to keep those little buggers away from the new sprouts. Regarding the wet ground and discharge, I'm not sure. My installation with two wire mesh screens on top of the bird feeder keeps the squirrels off and I notice that when the snow covers the screens, the batteries seem to keep a charge going, although they may be running down a little faster. Wish I could be of more help.

I don't know. I only have one unit that I keep on my back porch & it works great keeping the squirrels off the porch. Hope to be getting a unit some time soon for my attic.....I'm just waiting for my son to put a plug up there!

The PestChasers will repel rodents such as mice and rats. They would not be recommended to repel squirrels.

It just does not work. The deer graze within feet of the unit. I do not know about squirrels since they ar not a problem in my garden but I doubt this thin will help.
