A mum has expressed her frustration after her neighbours decided to fit several ultrasonic cat repellents in their garden, as they make a high-pitched noise that makes it "really uncomfortable" for her to use her own outside space.
The woman explained she has been hearing the "very shrill" noise for several weeks and upon researching online, she discovered that the cat deterrents should be inaudible to humans, so shouldn't be giving her any trouble.
She also said the devices - which emit a high-frequency sound that is uncomfortable to cats, foxes, and other garden visitors - can be heard from her house when she has her windows open, which isn't ideal now that the summer weather is upon us and she's having her windows open more frequently.
