I have been doing the 'long menacing hiss' when I have seen them approaching, and have now found my shrill rape alarm.
Neither of those works when they sneak in whilst my back is turned.
Today my solar animal repeller arrived so I set it up.
It has 3 sound levels for various sizes of animals, one strobe light function, and a setting that activates all the previous four.
I set it on '3' for 'small dogs, cats, birds' and placed it on the balcony. No cats tried trespassing all day, but this evening a problem has arisen.
Children can hear it! It must operate like those 'mosquito' devices that are used to disperse gangs of chavs.
The local children are my friends. They say hello and smile when passing, sometimes pause for more conversation. Two children live in the flat above me.
I cannot use it projecting the whistling sound they have told me they can hear, so it is now set for 'strobe light' only, which is likely to be less effective.
