The Broox Solar Animal Repellent seems well made and features 5 different modes along with adjustable sensitivity. Enclosed in the box is the repellent, two stakes, a USB charging cable, and a card with an email to register the repellent for a 5-year warranty and gift. The manual is fairly clear, but page 8 mentions a charging indicator light when charging the repellent via USB cable, which I could not locate on the repellent.I charged the repellent 8 hours per the manual and stuck it outside to do its job, which it does fairly well. The manual mentions the IP code of the repellent is IP44, meaning it will operate normally under normal rainfalls, but should be removed during a rainstorm. This is somewhat difficult to do during hot summer days due to pop-up thunderstorms that could occur while you’re away from home. There was one instance where a thunderstorm popped up while I wasn’t home and the repellent was exposed to heavy rain, which didn’t seem to affect it as it still works normally. I wouldn’t recommend continuous exposure to heavy rain, and one review mentioned placing a quart-sized plastic food bag (perfect fit) over the Broox and zip the bag closed underneath on either side of the short stake, which apparently doesn’t affect operation.The solar battery charging, replaceable batteries, and adjustable sensitivity are huge pluses. I test it weekly by doing a slow walk by and it alarms without fail. At lower sensitivity settings, it does not alarm for smaller animals like squirrels and small birds, and is not prone to false alarms like another repellent I purchased from Amazon which went off randomly and repeatedly from just the wind.I bought the Broox repellent to use in conjunction with a low height goose fence to help deter geese walk-ins. I use Mode 4 (flashing + alarm sound) with sensitivity at the lowest setting because I want to detect large slow-moving geese, not squirrels and other small birds which I welcome into my backyard. I had a small gaggle of about six geese apparently tripped the repellent, and they went about their business, as in they stayed out of my backyard. While the Broox repellent may have handled a small gaggle of geese, I have had gaggles upwards of 30 geese approach my backyard in the past, but not since I installed the Broox repellent. Whether it will scare off such a large gaggle remains to be seen. A larger gaggle may require a second repellent which I am considering.The Broox repellent Mode 3 emits ultrasonic frequencies between 20KHZ - 25KHz, which may prove useful in deterring geese. The prevalent school of thought is that birds cannot hear ultrasound. However, after doing a little research, I found that some birds, including geese, are able to perceive certain ultrasound frequencies. Dr. Philip Whitford, PhD, experimented with a goose in a lab environment by testing its' reaction to a 22,000 (Hz) / 22Khz burst of sound. The goose toppled over instantly, became rigid, and the eyelids flickered open and closed. After the ultrasound stopped, the goose recovered and stood, seemingly unharmed. The experiment was repeated several times with the same results.The Broox repellent is a powerful tool which will help ward off unwanted animals in your yard.

I’m really impressed with this Broox animal repellent! Super easy to set up right out of the box, and it feels well made. The motion sensor is very sensitive, and the ultrasonic sound combined with the flashing light works perfectly to keep unwanted critters out of the yard. I love that it’s solar powered, so no need to worry about constantly replacing batteries. It blends nicely into the garden too—hardly noticeable. Overall, great quality, effective, and totally worth it!

I was skeptical at first, but the Broox 2025 Upgraded Solar Animal Repellent has completely exceeded my expectations. We've had issues with squirrels, raccoons, and stray cats digging up our garden and making a mess, but after setting this up, they’ve stopped coming around!The motion detection is spot-on, and I love that it runs on solar power—super convenient and eco-friendly. It’s also waterproof, which is a huge plus since I don’t have to worry about rain or sprinklers damaging it. The ultrasonic feature is totally silent to humans but clearly effective on the animals.If you’re dealing with unwanted wildlife or neighborhood pets, this is a must-have solution. I’ve already recommended it to my neighbors!

We had great success keeping the larger animals out of our entrance flower bed to our community. It is at the guard house where people come in and leave. I put the device in a corner, where it gets good sun for solar re-charging. Then I set it on "5" because I wanted it inaudible. It faced the road where cars exited, and so it went off frequently. It wasn't the animal's moving through our flowers that set it off, it was the cars, and apparently that just drove the "varmints" nuts. I loved the Broox because I put it in place the first of June, made sure nothing was covering the solar charger during the summer, and just let it do its thing. I planted these wildflowers from seed mid-April, and the community raved all summer!! Attached is a photo. You will see the Broox at the bottom left. If you "squish" the photo open with your fingers, you will see the diversity of the numerous, beautiful flowers - none of which were eaten. SUCCESS. I found this well made and the price was worth it for the results I achieved.

The solar repellant works very well and we have not has a problem since we installed it . It is important to read all the written material, make sure it's charged and placed in a sunny spot that gets ~ 4 plus hours of sun. No more problems with unwanted cat/dog in the yard.
