The elderly in particular use a cat-deterrent in their garden. It is a
small apparatus with a speaker attached to it. It produces a
high-pitched bleep of more than a 100 decibel. The sound is mostly
only audible for children, youngsters and people with ears that are
still good. Many cat-deterrents use the same noise as the Mosquito.
The sound causes pain in the ears, headache, and ringing in the ears.
If you have any complaints consult your GP and make mention of it on
social media!

Working Mosquito: 17KHz-20KHz 90dB
Working Cat Deterrent/Animal Chaser: 16KHz-23KHz 130dB

They don't work anyway, a complete rip off.

I suffer from arachnophobia, fear of spiders. I have one of those ultrasonic spider repellant devices.
Well I started using it in conjunction with one of those chemical sprays about six months ago. I haven't been troubled by spiders since, but am not sure if it's because of the toxic spray or the ultrasonic device.
It's said not to upset domestic pets, but then they'd say anything to make a profit, so I turn it off when I'm expecting the cat to visit and turn it on when I'm out of the house.

I have often wondered whether they do, but haven't got one yet because
I, too, have heard that they're not much good.

Maybe the water sprayers that suddenly spray the area when a cat hits
the beam work?

Surprisingly, not as much as dogs. The trouble is, they bury their booby
traps - which can catch you out if you are doing a bit of digging. At
least dogs give you a fair chance of seeing their offerings.

I was thinking of poop buy incessant barking from a neighbour's dog.

The cat is the only animal that covers its feces. Humans often don't. Cats deserve respect for that. I don't know what the problem is with cats doing that in your garden. It's a precious gift to make the roses grow. What's your problem?

Its also high in protein too.
Hence why dogs eat it.
