Pedro1962 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 An article in the latest issue of Practical Poultry caught my eye. Effective against all sorts of critters, including bear, raccoon and mountain lion!! (Not many of those in these parts. Maybe it DOES work). For predators like fox, coyote, bobcat, wild boar, mountain lion and bear; put the lights approximately 100 feet apart around your entire perimeter (all four sides of the area) and place them eye level to the predators which is approximately 20-25 inches off the ground. If the area has sides longer than 100 feet, more lights should be used on each side. Face lights outward from protected area. MORE INFO HERE It's solar-powered and costs £16.00. Might be worth a punt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I noticed that in Practical Poultry yesterday, meant to look it up. It's a lot cheaper than Foxwatch, it wouldn't work for me because it might scare the cat off, but for some Forum members that would be a distinct advantage, I know!

Pedro1962 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 It does look like you would need to buy more than one, depending on the size of your set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 May be worth getting to keep the neighbour's blasted cat away from the bird table, she tends to turn tail quite rapidly when the chooks start to create blue murder (probably preservation of eardrums !!!) or the dogs come out into the back garden, but the front garden where the other creatures can't go is another matter! I wonder if the bees will stop her frequenting Cafe Wild.............. ! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
