If you hate those pesky gangs of squirrels who hang around in alleyways at night, or more realistically, want to rid your garden of the neighbour's cats, then this is a pet-safe way of doing it.

It can target animals up to 20 metres away with its laser-light aim sight and dual sonic and ultrasonic output that will make the furry critters run off faster than Jerry as chased by Tom.

Effective on dogs, cats, aforementioned squirrels and "other nuisance animals" it had us at "easy trigger action" and "laser-light aim sight".

If you're just as easy pleased then it's battery powered (stock up on your 9 volts) and £9.99, available now.
