DURANOM Solar Animal Repeller – Ultrasonic & Strobe Motion Sensor Deterrent for Deer, Raccoons, Cats, Dogs – Outdoor Garden Protection, Solar Powered & USB Rechargeable

Started using the Duranom Animal Repeller and it's working great so far. I've watched it work on our Ring doorbell at night for a pesky cat that has continued to do stuff on our porch for the last 4-5 years at least. As it walked up the porch it turned around and hasn't come back. I hope it lasts! Two thumbs up!! This really works! Follow-up Review: 02/11/2019 This is my second Duranom since I liked the first one so much. Mainly bought it to keep an outdoor cat off our front porch at night. Leaving its mark allover the porch and outdoor furniture. The only challenge has been the solar charging. It's been raining so much that it can't recharge itself outside. I just bring it in and use the USB charger, which works great. I will probably be buying more.

I bought two of these. Initially, they worked well, although they alarmed loudly (obnoxiously) for about 30 seconds after being turned on. But after a few months, both units consistently tripped and were set off continually for no apparent reason. At that point, once turned on, they do not stop alarming at all. They are useless at that point. The batteries are standard AA and are easily replaceable, but if the unit will not stop alarming, there isn't anything that you can do. Avoid this product.

We recently purchased this device to help fight a rash of skunks that have been trying to use the area under our screen room/shed as home. As suggested by reviews by other people fighting a similar issue, you can't rely on "one" method. That said, so far based on watching the video from our surveillance camera we set up to monitor the screen room/shed, we have seen the unit chase away not just the skunks, but rabbits and the occasional fox. The unit itself is easy to use. We were worried about if it would upset the neighbor's dog at night, but haven't heard any issues with the dog barking. The unit claims to charge via the installed PV cell on top. I'm sure it will. We suffer from the location we need to set up the unit that it gets sun only a few hours a day. We've taken the step to simply put it on charge, when necessary (we have power at the screen room so it impacts us very little). With the ground still frozen/snow covered, we have not been able to use the enclosed stake. The stake appears flimsy side (thin aluminum) but hopefully once the ground thaws, it will work just fine. I've been trying to find a more robust replacement, but no such luck yet. But I'm still trying. The good thing is our soil is mostly sand so the stake should work. Like I said, we have been able to see the reaction of the wildlife when the strobe goes off so we know it is working. Overall, we are happy with the unit. It works as advertised. Thinking about getting one or two more to make any skunk or other critter from getting too comfortable in our yard.

I charged the 3 units I purchased for 8 hours, and after installing still had a rabbit make an appearance!! I thought....these don't work!! I WAS WRONG!! I haven't had ANY animals in my yard after the first day!! No more rabbits!! SO THEY do work!!

Okay I suppose. Kinda sucks that is says nothing about rabbits on it. But other than that I guess it does what it says it'll do.

I received the Duranom solar repeller after much research but had to return. I could NOT get one of the screws out of the battery storage door. The screws provided are too small for most screw drivers and too soft. One of the screws resisted all attempts to loosen and finally stripped. If I could not get the battery door open, then the product was of no value no matter how good it was. Larger steel screws needed and not tightened at the factory so much that it was a job to get the screws loose that I did finally and one totally resisted.

I purchased this product to deter a herd of deer that was making nightly treks through my front yard, leaving loads and loads of their droppings behind (much to the dismay of my small dog, who uses the front yard to do HER business!). While I *do* have to periodically change the location of the device in my yard to keep the deer at bay -- if I leave it the same place too long, they smarten up and begin to ignore it! -- the device has completely met my expectations. Customer service provided by Duranom has also been exceptional! I lost my charging cord over a year after I purchased the product and they not only responded to my email the very same day, they went above and beyond to help me. I'd definitely recommend this product to others.

While this product was working, it did an awesome job. I had it staked about 12” off the ground. Unfortunately, about a month after i had it outside I noticed my plants were being eaten again. I checked the device and it was no longer functioning. I picked it up and it was full of water!!! I am not sure how a product such as this is not waterproof? Maybe the seller can help me answer this question.

Great product exactly as described, exactly what I wanted and fast delivery
