Essential Info

Scare away racoons, stray dogs and cats, opossums, skunks, chipmunks, deer, squirrels, gophers, moles, rabbits, voles, woodchucks, coyotes, etc.

The Critter Gitter uses a passive infrared sensor to detect the body heat of animals within a 40 ft. range. This battery-powered device then produces startling high-pitched sounds (note: sounds are audible to humans) coupled with flashing lights to scare animals away. The sound pattern changes randomly so animals do not get used to it. You can also use the Critter Gitter to train pets to keep away from certain areas. Features include high/low volume settings. You'll enjoy wireless operation for up to a year with a single 9-volt alkaline battery (included).

    Very effective repeller for cats, racoons, etc. No effect on our wild turkeys. Considerable variation in sensitivity unit to unit. Needs all weather housing.
    KAREN -- greenwood, SC   1/7/2011
    So far, so good. I got this to keep the cats away from the birdfeeders. It's doing a pretty good job of that. Doesn't faze the squirrels though. It's been outside in rain and snow and is still going strong inside it's little baggie. I do wish that it was completely weather-proof.
    JOAN -- petersburg, NY   9/13/2010
    This product seems to be working great. I guess the proof is no critters in my garden since I got it.
    IDA JEANETTE -- bloomington, IL   8/22/2010
    Works as described. Siren and flashing lights are set off by rabbits, squirrels, dogs, and people. My neighbors were curious about it. I guess I should have told them about it. Since I have used the Critter Gitter, I have not seen the foxes in my yard. Another good sign is that the rabbits have flourished. They are not detered by the siren. My neighbor's dog is also used to it. I plan to purchase more and give them as gifts. The siren will scare any intruders who try to sneak into your home while you are out or asleep.

    Nice samll package, plenty loud, too bad you have to put a clear baggie over it, I guess it is not waterproof
    SAM -- madison, MS   8/1/2010
    effective in keeping deer from plants. Only problem is range is only 15 feet not 40 as stated. madison, ms.
    JOSEPH M -- venice, FL   7/2/2010
    Units work well but there is a wide variation in sensitivity. poor weather protection. I have made housings for each unit which provides ample weather protection.
    KRISTINA -- luck, WI   6/21/2010
    We put this in our garden because we have a deer problem. So far it seems to be keeping the deer away!
    GEORGIA A -- east jordan, MI   8/28/2009
    My husband put this in the garden to keep the deer out. It is working great. We are thinking of getting another one to put in the front of the house to keep the racoons out of the birdfeeders.
    FERNANDO E MURR -- el paso, TX   2/26/2009
    The Critter Gitter works fine and hope it will stay that way a reasonably long time
    SUZANNE K. -- buffalo, NY   9/7/2008
    I set these up around my tent for the summer to keep a (black) bear from being quite so interested in us. While it doesn't seem to provide a different light/sound sequence each time as advertised, it certainly has done the trick in scaring the bear away. He mostly avoids my camping area, and skedaddles pretty quickly when he trips the alarm. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet, and the alarm is loud enough that the nearest neighbour can hear them going off and calls to check on me when he hears them at night!
    HOWARD -- honeoye, NY   8/7/2008
    Not useful because it is NOT weatherPROOF. The little plastic bags that come packed with the units are a joke. Condensation forms inside the plastic bag and on the unit. Very unhappy. Would not recommend unless used indoors.
    KIRK -- kalamazoo, MI   7/12/2008
    We are using the Critter Gitter in combination with the Scarecrow (water sprayer device also sold here) to deter woodchucks from eating our herbs and vegetables. The combination works quite well. I noticed that the woodchucks returned when the battery for the Scarecrow died. Likewise we had limited success using just the Scarecrow but together with the Critter Gitter the woodchucks stay away from the garden. Obviously no deterrent is going to work 100% but if you're looking for a humane solution this combination has worked for us.
    MILTON -- decatur, TX   5/17/2008
    Your Critter Gitter has worked as advertised. We live in a rural area and haven't had any problems with rabbits or deer - and our dogs even stay clear of the garden.
    WM -- dover, OH   5/9/2008
    very loud,good detection,easy install.2-3 weeks ago still going strong
    ETHAN -- glenshaw, PA   4/14/2008
    haven't used it yet, but got the cats attention and raccoon stays off porch , now
    CINDY -- paradise, CA   12/26/2007
    We were a little surprised that the alarm was not louder but it seems to be keeping the bears away so far.
    JOHNNY -- russellville, AL   10/13/2007
    This was a replacement for a defective unit. Thanks for your prompt shipment.
    F. Toda -- the dalles, Oregon   9/12/2008
    Critter Gitter is a winner. We have several cats in the house. It is great for training the cats to stay off the furniture, or out of certain rooms. It has been great letting us know when the baby wanders into a room we want off limits ... and I recently bought 4 of these to track my fater in law from wandering into a dangerous area of the farm. Thank you
    MARC ANTOINE -- st jerome, QC   8/5/2007
    I have now tested the unit in the field for 3 weeks non-stop, and it works really fine. The infra-red sensor is very sensitive, and indeed tracks up to 35-40 feet and 70-90 degrees wide. The 9V battery is still working, and this may be a good indication that it will indeed last for one year, as claimed. The alarm is extremely loud, and the whole unit seems to be rugged enough for outside use. Smarthome shipped my order to Canada in a week flat. I paid by credit card, and never had no problem whatsoever with their service. I would not hesitate to order again, or recommend Smarthome to others.
