Where to put it
Place it near the area you want to protect, pointing along the path the animals use, with the solar panel facing the sun. Shrubs and fences block the sensor, so keep the area in front of it clear.
Good to know
Results vary between animals; some take a few days to change their habits. Ultrasound is above the range of human hearing but can be heard by pets, so avoid aiming it at your own pet's regular spots.
