night time does the scarecrow work in the dark? That is when I have the problem with cats using my yard as their personal bathroom.

Yes, the Scarecrow works in the dark. In fact it may work even better the the animals body heat will be even more clearly visible against the ambient background temperature.

Yes. Make sure the sensor is pointed low enough to "see" the smaller critters.

He did once, but I've purchased some electronic toys that have been keeping him busy & he's way better. I have to keep his view of the outdoors blocked, too. He sees the strays in the neighborhood & that's when he'll do it. Watch or go to Internet site for the show, "My cat from hell", he gives lots of help. Give them toys, cat nip, keep 'me busy! And get a Nature's Miracle urine cleanser. Black lights help show where they've gone. I have 5 cats. :D

I wish they would answer this question. All of my outdoor houses have a second opening. I like this but would be worried if my cat was trapped so I will skip this product. We have racoons here and they can get into any space so be trapped by a predator is a real concern.

I used this in my garage to keep ferel cats out. It worked very well for that. Once the cats were out I am working on bats in my attic, it seems to work for this also. Time will tell I have only had it on for a week or two. The weather here has not been very warm until the last few nights, that's when the bats like to come out.

I have 4 outside cats that all live in my backyard (they hardly ever go in the front). I've had this ball chillin' in the backyard next to my exercise equipment for a couple years now. To my knowledge, they have never once even approached it. Not sure why but I do think that if they wanted to damage it, they probably could. They scratch on my wooden post a lot and it looks pretty damaged, but never this ball. I think it intimidates them or something.

Lemme ask the end user.... .... Ok. She says: It's fairly dark, really dark inside. She'd like some windows. And a fan. And a catnip tree. She doesn't seem to think about the outside much, but thinks it's a fairy dark tone with not much in the way of red or burgundy overtones. Her only real complaint was that I wasn't playing with her more while I was trying to assemble it. So she sat in the shipping box. She doesn't care that I think it looks rather classy in the bathroom, when an open box would suffice.

If the cats move in front of the sensor, at the height where is installed, they might activate the lights. otherwise, if they just walk on the floor passing by the room, the switch will not be activated.My dog comes and goes from our laundry area without activating and turning the lights on.

Only when it's dark. It's been well over a year and I have just recently changed the batteries for the first time. I have them all (4) mounted outside at strategic positions around my house. Excellent product.

yep, check with a vet when cat starts to pee outside box..it can be very serious. But cats go outside the box for a few reasons. I'd start perhaps by taking the top off the box, so the cat can clearly see what and where shes' getting into until she gets used to it. Because this box is rather large and the hole is low down on it, its pretty dang dark in there..yes i understand cats see in the dark, but my cat much prefers a bright box so yours might as well. I'm thinking of sticking a lamp close by to illuminate the inside better for my girl..or sticking one of those disposible taplights on inside of lid and leaving on. You can replace the lid when you need to roll the box, as well as once cat gets used to it. I've had this issue with other boxes before. Another thing to remember is cats dont deal with any change well...everything should be done in stages. You might well want to try the box with top off for now. Good luck..peeing outside the box is no fun, but do get your animal checked out!

If your window is low and the cat could reach and tap on the window glass, I think the alarm will go off. It will not go off if he is just nearby.

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.

No. There are three light levels to cycle through and then it returns to off. I find ours to be relative touchy. Our cats have even turned it on when pawing at the side of the headboard.

I'm thinking it would look like a cat lurking in the dark. I love mine , but I must admit it is , I have it on a light wall but I think I would have gotten it even if I had a semi dark wall as well!

We live in the country. It's real dark out here. I think it's plenty bright for our use. It can light up the trash barrels around midnight if I think a dog or other creature is in it.

I personally had a conversation with a pro pest control person, and he advised me to try this unit in my crawl space for Pack Rat control. He said that they hate lights at night, which is when they are most active. He specified a powerful strobe lite. They are trap shy after two catches, and so I have to try this method and see if he is right.

Cats cannot hear it, but I have wondered about their delicate sensitive nerves though. I don't know if I am imagining it or not, but they do seem to be obsessively cleaning. I use Revolution so they don't have fleas. I need further study.

I would think if it keeps cats away, (very well I might add), it would keep rabbits away. Not Positive but it is logical.You may have to turn up to max output which is a lot because my neighbors complained it woke them up, so I turned it down a bit.
