Product Information

Size. Before choosing a cat scat mat, measure the area where you’ll place it to make sure it’s an adequate size. Some cat scat mats can be cut to size, increasing their versatility.

One thing I did notice about this model was I could hear the sound that was being emitted when it was more than I could with the Pestbye cat scarer. This didn’t bother my wife though, so I think it is different for everyone and depends on your hearing sensitivity. A scat mat is a mat that is made up of hard plastic or polycarbonate that is used to keep your pets and other adventurous animals away from the things you do not want to be destroyed by their paws or any other misadventure. These cat scat mat strips are versatile and can be wound around poles, trees, and planters to deter cats and canines. They can also be used to repel cats and dogs from indoor and outdoor furniture, as well as counters and scratch mats. The recommended way to use this kind of cat scarer is to bury them just under the surface of your flower beds, or wherever else the cats are doing their business, and when the cat stands on them, it will be so uncomfortable they will move on somewhere else.Still, if I had to choose just one type of cat scarer, I’d go with the ones that squirt water, or maybe an ultrasonic one that also has flashing lights and an optional alarm feature. Ultrasonic cat scarers Simply set the cat scat mat in an area where you do not want your cat to go. Cat scat mats can be placed on furniture or countertops in the home. When the sensor does detect movement and heat signatures within its very large, 1000 sq/ft (claimed) range, the scarecrow cat scarer will be triggered and do a number of things to scare the animal away. The combination of water burst, sudden movement from the unit, and noise is very effective and will scare away even larger animals such as foxes.

This device features seven correction modes, including tone-only, low, medium, and high static correction, allowing you to customize your cat’s training experience.

Looking to keep cats from using your garden as a toilet? Our picks of the best cat repellents will keep your lawn clean and pristine

Cat scat mats are an effective and humane way to keep cats out of gardens or away from furniture. Rather than a strip this is a mat made with a polypropylene mesh that is covered in small 1″ soft spikes. When a cat steps on the mat, the spikes are uncomfortable without causing any harm. Ultrasound repellents are all well and good for an empty garden, but any hutched animals you keep outside can set off the sensors and will be made uncomfortable by the frequencies. In this case, you’re better off going with PestBye’s Jet Spray which, if positioned facing away from the hutches, will keep your garden clear without impacting your pets. Ultrasonic cat scarers take time to work, and this can put some people off, especially if they’re not the most patient human beings out there. However, I have had success with them, as have friends of mine, so I would have to say that they are effective too.

In addition to cat scat mats and fence spikes, there are other deterrents available for keeping cats away. Motion-activated sprinklers detect movement and spray water when triggered by a passing animal such as a cat; this startles them enough so they stay away but does not cause any harm. This electronic cat scat mat safely and effectively trains your cat to stay away from no-go areas such as the sofa, bed, or countertops. One thing you can’t switch off is the flashing blue LED light that comes on at night or on dark, rainy days. It isn’t the brightest thing in the world, but if you have the device placed near to a window, it might get a bit annoying, and it would have been nice to have the option to switch it off. Cat scarers are devices that are designed to keep cats, and other unwanted animal visitors such as foxes, rabbits, etc. away from your garden. There are a few different designs out there, but the main ones use either ultrasonic waves, or a good old squirt of water, to scare the animals away.This plastic cat scat mat can be cut to size as needed. It features flexible plastic spikes that will deter your cat without harming them. They can be easily cut into shapes so you can place them in any awkward places you need to protect. Most come with large staples so you can pin them down. Ideal if the visiting cats like to dig in your yard. Training Tool - When your pet steps on the mat, they will feel a safe yet startling stimulation that discourages them from entering the off-limits area That was a fair old while ago, and well before the internet became a thing in our daily lives so my options were very limited. These days, there are some incredible products out there that really do what they say they will – scare off cats and other animal intruders without causing them any physical harm, and I have taken advantage of this and my garden here in good Old Blighty has a system set up that I’m very happy with. Cat Scarer Buyer’s Guide

Scat mats have different kinds of features to keep your pets and other animals away e.g. some scat mats come with soft spikes which are ideal to be placed over furniture or couch so that it becomes hard for your cats to sit over any of that, some other scat mats come with hard spikes which are better to be used in the garden area or around a tree which not only saves them from your pets but also the pets of your neighbors or any stray invasion.The flexible plastic allows plants to grow through the mesh, so you won’t have to worry about choosing between protecting your garden and your plants flourishing. Compared to other options, this one is extremely low maintenance: just lay the strips out and leave them to do their job. They’re weather- and UV-resistant as well, so will protect your patch all year round. Some of our customers have reported a couple of problems with their jet spray cat scarers, but they were usually easily solved. For example, there have been instances of the main unit leaking at the joints and connections, but this is a simple fix with some PTFE tape. When this machine is triggered by an animal, not only does it spray water but it also emits a noise which is audible to both animals and people and is actually quite loud, so you might get some complaints from the neighbours if you live in a terraced house with a narrow garden.
