Works for what we needed it for.
Read this review before you buy! This will be perfect for some people, and it won't work for others. It really depends on what you need it for.
What it won't work for: keeping animals out of open areas. They can sprint past it and it won't register until they're gone. This spray senses heat more than motion, so the heat of the animal needs to register before it'll spray.
What it'll work for: keeping animals away from objects or locations that you don't want them near. It'll keep them away from an area you don't want them to scratch or sit on.
Here's what we needed it for: We close our bedroom door at night. We always make sure the cats have food and water before bed, so their new little "game" has nothing to do with that. Their new "game" was to jiggle our door handle in the middle of the night until one of us woke up and told them to knock it off. Then they would wait and do it again in an hour. Cats, am I right?! It was all fun and games to them and they were just bored so they wanted to annoy mom and dad (because of course they don't have enough toys to play with...) And boy, did it work. First, we would drape something over the door handle so they couldn't jiggle it. They'd figure out how to knock it off, even if we tied a hair binder over the knob on top of the sweatshirt or whatever we used. Then it was JIGGLE JANGLE time again. I came across this and read reviews and decided that it should work for what we need. We close the door at night, and place this beside our door frame so that it sprays when they're approaching and getting ready to jiggle the door. It works for us, and it may work for you if you're needing it for a similar situation.
Note: takes 4 AA batteries that are not included. I can't testify for how long the spray will last since we've only had it about a week and a half. I am hoping this will condition our cats in the long run so that we don't need to buy refills and they'll just stay away from the can. Time will tell. Even if we do need to buy refills eventually, the added sleep at night will be worth it!
