The Havahart 5266 Sprinkler Cat Repellent we are reviewing here is the improved version 2. If you are looking for a low cost cat repellent that uses water jets, this is probably one of your best options.
How the Havahart 5266 Spray Away Motion Activated Sprinkler repels cats
The 5266 uses two methods to detect cats in your garden. The first is a motion sensor that will detect any movement in your garden up to almost 2000 square feet. The second is a body heat sensor that will work day and night to make sure no warm blooded animals gain aces to your garden without getting a short sharp shock (of water!).
With this cat repellent’s infrared technology, it can detect an animals body heat up to a distance of 35 feet. Upon activation the spray away sprinkler immediately starts to spray out short bursts of water, combined with a noise that startles the animal, this cat repellent immediately sends the animal into flight mode and they cat will fly out of your garden quicker than it came in! Because of this type of detection technology, this device will protect your garden from cats night and day.
This device has a sensitivity setting for various types of animal at different ranges, please see our Settings Guide below for how best to set this adjustment for your own situation.
