They're also good at destroying structures like brassica cages. Looking at solar-powered ultrasonic deterrents but reviews are mixed. (And in a crossover with the senior moments thread, I'm sure I posted this earlier but clearly not - must have forgotten to press Submit...)

Flatlander 26 May 9:56pm, 26 May 2020 1710 posts	0 Flatlander I have cat scarers and they work for me. My scarers have motion sensors so that the cats don't get used to them (they don't work too well on deaf/hard of hearing cats). Also, mine are mains powered which means they give a more reliable sound than battery or solar powered scarers. As for foxes, there are some sprays which make foxes think that there is an animal around that is dangerous to them and so they are deterred.
