I have raccoons on the other side of a wall fence, but they make noises that bother me at night. Can this be used by manually pressing the button everytime?

Maybe but haven't had much luck with this model, I bought 3 of the Bell & Howell type, I think they work better. Also are solar charged.I'm thinking a S&W; 38 might work better but don't want to spend my Old day in Jail!Jim

Sure if you want to stand there and press the button all night. They are obviously coming for something. I'd get bear or wolf urine or feces and spread or spray it on the wall etc. . It will do the job. It's the best non-lethal way.

I really don't know. Watch the link I've sent and try to determine if this seems like a viable solution. Initially I had no luck with it until I watched the video for the 5th or 6th time and caught the words "make the trap sensitive", then I trapped my gopher. I waited until I saw the gopher moving his dirt out and then I set it. He plugged the hole at first but sometime during the night he unplugged it and started moving his dirt and,... BAM "lights out". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQbZ4Z_3uXU

I might be being played however, I do not, and could, have trouble with raccoons. I do use the product shown on the left of the screen. Sweeney's Mole and Gopher tool. It works for me. I have sent it to friends in other states and it works for them.

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

It doesn't work at night. It doesn't work during the day, if you are asking whether it is repelling any animal friend. The animals simply ignore its red light sensor.

It is not equipped wit auto-off. It was what I was looking for as I use it for feral cats ad wanted something that I could leave on. It works fine for my intended use.

My duplex neighbor and I have 3 of these units to ward off raccoons. Neither of us can hear any sound from them. Your unit may be defective. I remain very pleased with the product. Good luck.

We have two in the woods in North Carolina. The only solution(after talking to Wild Birds Unlimited) in our area is to bring the feeders in at dark. The keeps the raccoons away. Everyone around here does it this way. I leave the hooks out. Ours locks pretty well. You could slip a strip of wood in the hole where the hook enters the bracket to get it some extra friction. Hope this helps.

I would not use it got this purpose. Didn't work to stop my dog from barking. Use an electric dog fence about a foot inside the perimeter of the fence you have now.

I have not done that , but it makes sense to me, that when the wall mount is active, so is the siren.( it is connected directly by speaker wire), When I forget to disable, it goes off every time. I have to rush to disable, so the neighbors don't call the police ! Good luck, hope this helps. RWM

I, too, use the tone to call my dog and he always comes running. The device does not "sleep" afer periods of inactivity. What may be happening is that the switch for a second dog may be moved. If that happens, the remote will not communicate with the collar. Because I have occasionally "pocket-stimulated" my dog, I have begun using the selector switch to make sure that I don't.

Personally I cannot be 100% sure. However I would suppose it could. I say this because when you push the button it make a "CLICK" sound in the wall portion. I believe it is making this sound because some sort of actuator or something is actually moving a physical switch inside the wall unit. Therefore it disconnects the circuit like any "normal" wall switch.

Thomas..it wont hurt them..it makes some sort of noise that they dont like..just a quick 'zapp' is all you need..it worked on Cathy's chihauhaus..didnt hurt them..but you could tell they didnt like the sound it made..you wont hear a thing when you press the button..but a light will come on..a little red light that will show you that the thing is on when you press the button..it will need a battery..a 9 volt I think..one of the square type ones like they have in smoke detectors...good luck..Jon

Yes. I think so. The only problem I see is if the animal is so light and/or light on foot that it does not make a vibration to set off the alarm. I have cats and it is somewhat the problem.

Yes. There are both options. You can set it so the light changes from "sleeping bunny" to "awake bunny" without noise. The other option is with sound and it sounds like a rooster when it goes off.

In my opinion, no. The camera is supposed to emit a loud vocal warning and flashing lights when it detects motion, which might startle the animals. The 1 I ordered didn't have the power supply, so I don'r know how loud it is but would not recomend anyone buying this for any reason. I returned mine as it arrived incomplete.

I suppose you could use it as an alternative to a bark collar but you would need to press the button every time your dog barks.
