What's Included

  • YardContro Electronic Yard Fence YC12
  • More Info


    When the built-in motion sensor detects an intrusion, it responds by emitting a high-frequency 120dB sound blast and flashing a powerful strobe light. A selector switch lets you choose how it responds. To fend off dogs, cats and other wild animals, use the ultrasonic mode, which emits an alarm that's bothersome to animals, but inaudible to humans. To scare away human trespassers or would-be thieves, use the standard mode that everyone can hear.

    The YardContro features weatherproof design for indoor or outdoor use, even in wet weather. Runs on 4 "D" batteries for up to 2,000 10-second sound releases (batteries sold separately). Includes brackets for easy mounting to walls, fences, trees or posts. Manufacturer's part number YC12.

    PAUL -- west point, VA   4/6/2011
    Stopped working after 2 weeks
    JONATHAN -- jacksonville, FL   2/5/2010
    Positive: seems to work Negative: no way to turn off the strobe light feature and sucks batteries dry in one day (ability to plug, but cord not included)
    ARLENE -- mckinleyville, CA   9/16/2009
    this is a replacement unit, we use it and it works to keep kritters off our lawn. We can use the yard again. a good product from a reliable company. AA
    ARLENE -- mckinleyville, CA   9/8/2009
    This is our second unit, we think it works well to keep the unwanted out of our yard.
    DAVID -- jacksonville, FL   5/11/2009
    I have three of these now. One is a back up. I have had these for about 2 years now. They do keep the rodents out of my Engine Bay. I just put in the engine when the car is cool and it does the rest.
    RICHARD -- los angeles, CA   9/30/2008
    When a squirrel, your dog, and a few neighbor's cats all walk right up to the device and sit down in front of it, staring at it, then it gets a poor rating. SO what if it blinks and has a sound coming out of it. It's ineffective!
    DAVID -- jacksonville, FL   8/12/2008
    I have two other of this same product and love them very much. They work as stated and do not effect the other wild life. We use them to keep the field mice and other small critters out from the car's engine bay, etc.
    EMLYN -- north richland hills, TX   5/3/2008
    I was disappointed in the sensitivy range. I wish that the burst of sound was longer. The cats soon found that if they waited the sound would go and they would be on their way to an out of range area. The battery install has much to be desired.
    TERRENCE -- leesburg, VA   4/16/2008
    This product has been amazing...took care of our terrible raccoon problem. I thanks so much
    PETER -- victoria, BC   10/1/2007
    Lacks any quality control. Many units dead on arrival. Limited range
    ALLAN C. -- semmes, AL   8/23/2007
    does not work as advertised.
    PETER -- victoria, BC   8/20/2007
    When the unit works it is good, unfortunately we have had about 1 out of every 5 dead upon arrival. Poor quality control
    ALLAN C. -- semmes, AL   8/9/2007
    Product does not work as advertised.Doesn't even come close. I actually witnessed a dog approach it, sniff it, urinate on it, sniff it again and it never went off. I returned the first one as being defective. I'm going to return the second one as well.
    Robert G.G. -- garden grove, Ca.   11/29/2010
    I saw many complaints about Yard Contro not being water tight. The design is the problem. And the O ring falls out easily. I put 2 small dabs of silicon glue on the bottom of the O ring & a thin layer of silicon grease on the top. Still I do suggest putting a plastic bag or a small, kitchen, glass over the control cover. No water problems & the device works fine.
    Bay -- Texas   10/23/2010
    It work OK for several months, then, the high-frequency sirening sound did not work, just it produces a lower mild sound with the strobe light, which did not scare dogs at all
    Bruce -- Wisconsin   5/14/2010
    This unit has good electronics and weather protection but does not ward away deer. I have seen deer walk up to the unit while the strobe is flashing and the speaker is emitting sound. They are not at all frightened by it.
    Den -- victoria, BC   8/1/2009
    Operating instructions say Do not immerse this unit in water ... However, this device cannot handle water from rain or sprinklers - bought three, all three returned to factory within 30 days plus one was DOA. Audio alarm is inconsistent and controls break down all too easily - and rather than be frightened, at least one dog wanted to get closer to it - despite my changing the frequency. No way to get your money back after 30 days even with brand new replacements that are unlikely to last any longer than the first ones: a POOR Product.
    PETER -- victoria, BC   8/2/2007
    Had several fail in a rain storm. Not as weather proof as advertised.
    CHRIS -- webster, TX   8/1/2007
    I'm using it to guard my fish pond from birds. I have not lost any more fish, so it seems to be doing the job.
    HORACE C -- burlington, ON   8/1/2007
    The unit was purchased in order to keep away Racoons. It is not keeping them away.
