DURANOM Solar Animal Repeller – Ultrasonic & Strobe Motion Sensor Deterrent for Deer, Raccoons, Cats, Dogs – Outdoor Garden Protection, Solar Powered & USB Rechargeable

Started using the Duranom Animal Repeller and it's working great so far. I've watched it work on our Ring doorbell at night for a pesky cat that has continued to do stuff on our porch for the last 4-5 years at least. As it walked up the porch it turned around and hasn't come back. I hope it lasts! Two thumbs up!! This really works! Follow-up Review: 02/11/2019 This is my second Duranom since I liked the first one so much. Mainly bought it to keep an outdoor cat off our front porch at night. Leaving its mark allover the porch and outdoor furniture. The only challenge has been the solar charging. It's been raining so much that it can't recharge itself outside. I just bring it in and use the USB charger, which works great. I will probably be buying more.

I bought two of these. Initially, they worked well, although they alarmed loudly (obnoxiously) for about 30 seconds after being turned on. But after a few months, both units consistently tripped and were set off continually for no apparent reason. At that point, once turned on, they do not stop alarming at all. They are useless at that point. The batteries are standard AA and are easily replaceable, but if the unit will not stop alarming, there isn't anything that you can do. Avoid this product.

We recently purchased this device to help fight a rash of skunks that have been trying to use the area under our screen room/shed as home. As suggested by reviews by other people fighting a similar issue, you can't rely on "one" method. That said, so far based on watching the video from our surveillance camera we set up to monitor the screen room/shed, we have seen the unit chase away not just the skunks, but rabbits and the occasional fox. The unit itself is easy to use. We were worried about if it would upset the neighbor's dog at night, but haven't heard any issues with the dog barking. The unit claims to charge via the installed PV cell on top. I'm sure it will. We suffer from the location we need to set up the unit that it gets sun only a few hours a day. We've taken the step to simply put it on charge, when necessary (we have power at the screen room so it impacts us very little). With the ground still frozen/snow covered, we have not been able to use the enclosed stake. The stake appears flimsy side (thin aluminum) but hopefully once the ground thaws, it will work just fine. I've been trying to find a more robust replacement, but no such luck yet. But I'm still trying. The good thing is our soil is mostly sand so the stake should work. Like I said, we have been able to see the reaction of the wildlife when the strobe goes off so we know it is working. Overall, we are happy with the unit. It works as advertised. Thinking about getting one or two more to make any skunk or other critter from getting too comfortable in our yard.

Not real good in rain

I charged the 3 units I purchased for 8 hours, and after installing still had a rabbit make an appearance!! I thought....these don't work!! I WAS WRONG!! I haven't had ANY animals in my yard after the first day!! No more rabbits!! SO THEY do work!!

We bought two of them, three total. The first one didn't work at all. When we contacted the seller, they replaced the item immediately. However, that one only worked for about 4 weeks. The second one we had purchased still operates when you walk by it, but we have raccoons, possums, and stray cats moving through our yard and this doesn't thwart them at all. We have tried all the settings and we watched as two raccoons walked over to it and investigated the orange beeping thing. This was a big waste of money. I don't know whom you people are supporting this product, but you're either lying or your critters are not urban tested.

This device doesn't do what it claims it can do. Followed the directions to set the device to deter pests such as squirrels, chipmunks, and racoons due to the damage they are doing to my plants and bird feeders. You can tell they hear something because they look around, but they it isn't enough to get them to leave. Every time they just kept foraging, eating, and destroying. Alarms, motion sensing do nothing except temporarily (for seconds) interrupt.

I was so frustrated because the deer were eating my flowers as soon as they bloomed, so I decided to try this product. It worked great, and I haven't had a problem with deer since. The product was placed on a post approximately 3 feet tall and set on one side of the garden to reach all areas. It took us a little while to get the settings correct because the kids could hear an unpleasant tone at certain settings, which adults could not hear. Once we got that figured out, we have had no problems.

Great product exactly as described, exactly what I wanted and fast delivery
