Anyone tried Foxwatch?

This is from their web site http://www.foxolutions.co.uk/index.php? ... ucts_id=10

Foxwatch is the most successful ultrasonic fox deterrent ever invented, and the reason is simple; Uniquely, each time the fox approaches its body heat and movement are detected and activate an ultrasound alarm (calibrated to be extremely loud to foxes ears but inaudible to humans). As the fox retreats the alarm stops and in this way the fox learns to associate its movement with the noise and give a wide berth to the protected area of over 1,350sq ft. Other ultrasonic fox deterrents do not do this. They simply emit a random or permanent ultrasound signal regardless of whether a fox is present or not. As a result any passing fox soon realises the constant sound of the alarm is not caused by them and therefore becomes immune to its effects

I wonder if its similar to the ultrasonic mouse one that did not work for me I actually found mouse poo on the unit over 1 night I think it attracted them [smilie=a_doh.gif]
