Z1 Ultrasonic Rodent, Squirrel, Cat, Repellent - Waterproof Effective Outdoor Electronic Deterrent for Dog, Rat, Deer, Raccoon, Bird, Snake, Pest Repeller Control – Green

Unfortunately, our inspection period of our new house did not include time to observe the robins and their propensity to blanket outside cars with their poop. I'd wash the cars and would hear them in the trees, angrily reprimanding me for disturbing them. Minutes afterwards, I'd look out the window to find 5-6 of these scoundrels happily defecating on the car from nose to tail - almost as if it were an intent to spread poop equally across the entire automobile. "Leave no panel unspoiled" seemed to be their motto. I purchased 2 of these deterrents and they were delivered quickly. As I was positioning it, a robin was sitting on our adjacent car, apparently scoffing at my efforts. I turned it up to 5, and he let out an alarmed squawk; they've never been seen since. No more morning crap parties, no robins eying me through the window of my office, and then turning around and dropping a deuce on the windshield. NOTES: It initially creates a very unsettling high-pitched sound, and then goes into silent mode until the motion sensor detects movement. It's quite sturdy and can be left out in 20 degree temps. The solar panel seems to work well. I've only tested this for birds.

March 2022-- the first unit worked perfectly as intended. It worked so well, I ordered a second izbie Z1. The second unit did not perform as well as the first.The motion detector sensitivity switch of the second unit did not work to allow any motion sensitivity adjustment. The first unit motion detector set-off the sound and flashing lights from more than 45 feet away and at an angle of at least 75 degrees. . . wow! At the extreme sensitivity setting of the second unit, I had to walk to within five feet and not more than a 30 degree angle for the sound and flashing lights to work. hmm?The sonic repellent on both the izbie Z1 first and second units are much more noticeable than the sonic repellent on devices from other brands I have installed surrounding my property on similar/identical settings. Of the four different brands I have installed, three are pretty much identical in appearance and structure. As with other brands, I expect the rechargeable batteries will need to be replaced within two years.August 2022--downgraded from four to one star. Worked well at first but . . . after six months of use, both izbie units are not working! I have others that are still working after nearly two years! The rechargeable batteries on my units had low capacity cheap batteries which needed replacement within two months. Worked well for another three months after installing better quality rechargeable batteries. Now the izbies are completely useless.

I purchased 3 of the same Izbie Z1 Ultrasonic Rodent, Squirrel, Cat, Repellent - Waterproof Effective Outdoor Electronic Deterrent for my yard. I had a new raised bed and garden which was becoming a litter box for all the Feral cats in my neighborhood. I planted 2 in the back yard and it started working that night.In the front yard, the cats still are using the yard, lawn etc. So now, I cleaned up the yard, sprinkled, cat repellent, chillie flakes, and have added the izbie Z1 Ultrasonic machine. It still did not work. My lawn had poop and the flower bed still had cat poop.It looks like we will need 2-3 to protect our yard. For now, I have to live with the one 1 have a buy later another 1-2.

We had a problem with squirrels digging up potted plants on our patio to bury nuts. They would break plants and scatter dirt all over the place. Cute but destructive! This product is easy to set up and use. While it does not keep squirrels away 100% of the time, they clearly don’t like the sound and the problem is much better than it was before. Our patio does not get a lot of direct sun, so it is necessary to recharge this with the included plug and a (not included) USB adapter. Recharging this way takes a long time (10 to 12 hours).

I bought this to keep my ducks safe at night from racoons and fox. The motion detection is works like a charm. It is sensitive enough that the shadow of a tree branch moving in the wind sets it off and that is fine with me. The different settings are great. You can use the barely audible to human ear high pitched deterrent, all the way to the lights flashing, alarm sounding, get out of my yard deterrent. Being solar is a definite plus!
