Customer Rating:
Summary: Very disappointed
Comment: This item doesn't work very well. For starters, the range of motion detection is about 4-5 feet, not the 30 feet claimed by the manufacturer. Once triggered, the sound and strobe light only activate for a short period (1-2 seconds) so that it's really not all that distracting for the racoons. It sounds constantly when it rains. And finally, it takes a long time to reset once it's been triggered. I purchased the unit to keep the raccoons away from my garbage cans, and it helps to some degree, but it does not keep them away permanently as I had anticipated.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It does not work, Tech support is useless
Comment: Just bought the device, does not activate unless you are 6 inches in front of it. So, it is not very effective unless the animal walks really close to the device. Tried to speek with tech support but they don't really help, they want me to ship them the item with my money although it is a product defect.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor Sensitivity
Comment: Sensitivity range is less than advertised. Only alarms when directly in front of unit and within 4-5 feet.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It works for me.
Comment: This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review for a product. The reason for my review of this product is because, quite simply, it works for me, and it would seem that, based on most of the other reviews here, it needs a vote of confidence.
During the Spring and Summer months I used to have a problem with raccoons climbing up onto my wood deck and then defecating in the corners. There would be a new pile at least two or three times a week. Quite a smelly mess to have to clean up all the time, not to mention the stains left in the wood. After getting the Lentek YC12G all I did was mount it on the deck near the stairs and turn it on. It's been nearly 3 months and not one sign of raccoon activity on my deck. I even adjusted the alarm volume to a barely audible level and still no raccoons.
I bought the Lentek YC12G, despite the negative reviews I read here. I knew it would be a gamble but I was desperate to find a solution. I'm just glad I gave it a try because the gamble paid off.
UPDATE: After using the Lentek YC12G for a couple of seasons I'm still glad I bought it because it has pretty much kept raccoons off my deck. Hasn't kept them completely away but it has greatly reduced raccoon activity in the area. Having good batteries is important and they usually last about 3-4 months (haven't tried the AC adapter). The alarm sound travels so you may need to adjust for consideration of the neighbors.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Alarm System - Poor pest repellent.
Comment: We purchased this to keep dogs away. It did not do it. I did use it too chase away a rabbit building a nest in our ornamental grass, it worked very well.But, we use it as an alarm. It works fantasticly. We use it indoors to let us know if someone is in the house while we are sleeping. It is much cheaper than any human alarm system I could buy and lets me sleep much better at night knowing I would get advance notice before anyone gets to where we sleep. Also, we have a toddler, who may want to wander, it also informs us when he is trying to go wandering before he gets very far. Anytime you want to know if something or someone is coming, it is ideal. I would not rate it highly for its stated purpose though. It makes audible sound even on the animal settings. But, it does make a darn good alarm!

Get a pest deterrent and burglar alarm in one! The YardContro electronic yard fence helps keep outdoor spaces free from unwanted pests or trespassers by creating an undetectable, 360 degree radar zone covering an approximately 30 ft. (700 sq. ft.) area. 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 not included). Includes brackets for easy mounting to walls, fences, trees or posts. Manufacturer's part number YC12.
