Best Ultrasonic Pest Repeller Please

Hey, I'd love to hear everyone's opinions please on the best ultrasonic pest repeller to buy.

My situation: We unfortunately must share our drive (we own it) with our neighbour behind our property. They are in a land-locked situation. They refuse to allow us to install a gate across our entrance-way (apparently they can legally do this and they state that we must not in any way impede them entering our driveway at any time of the day or night).

The problem: We have people, cars, dogs, chickens etc. coming into our property at all times of the day and night. I would love to be able to allow our goats to safely forage our long driveway which is overgrown with assorted weeds and loads of brush, but feel I cannot do so for fear of dogs attacking them.

The solution: This is where you guys come in. Any thoughts/pearls of wisdom please?? So far the best I've come up with is this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hoont-Powerful-Solar-Battery-Powered-Ultrasonic-Outdoor-Animal-Pest-Repeller/201628752969?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid=0&algoISC.MBE&ao=1&asc=37472&meid=9d30ea48d2e84ac580cfadfe5beb2515&pid=100009&rk=1&rkt=1&sd=222145994046

but, I need something that isn't going to freak out the goats every time something enters our property. Specifically I also need something that isn't going to hurt the goat's sense of hearing too. It doesn't have to be solar powered as the one in my example is. We could just as easily wire something in. Anyone use anything like this that you could recommend?

Eagerly awaiting wise words

Thanks

I don't think I would take your neighbors word that you can't install a gate
Sounds like they have a deeded egress to their property
Likely at some point it was one property and divided with it written in the deed that the back lot has access
Installing a gate wouldn't impede their access as long as it is unlocked or if locked they get a key
I would see what the deed actually says

Thanks for your reply. We have been told by our Foundation that according to Thai law we cannot install a gate unless we have our neighbour's agreement.

Your assessment of the problem is correct....the neighbouring property was once owned by a family member of the owner (previous owner) if our new place. At that time of course it wouldn't have been a problem having a family member using your driveway to get to the back house.

The current neighbours must drive right up outside our bedroom window in order to drive through their gate between and our property and theirs. So - they happily can gate off their own property but disallow us to do the same. These same neighbours also allow their own dogs to wander in the driveway and onto our property (we keep our own 3 dogs fenced in behind the house). So, I'm trying to come up with alternative solutions to a gate across the entrance to the driveway. I had thought of a cattle stop/grid (that's what we call them in NZ) across the driveway but on further research feel it probably wouldn't stop dogs.

Seems very unfair to me!

It appears that we just have to live with this.

That is a rough one. If you can't put up a gate can you put up hot wire along the side of drive so they can get to the forage and yet not on the drive. In USA the dogs would simply be shot; I am sure that wouldn't work for you either. They may have right to the driveway but certainly they don't have right to let their dogs on your land.

We might need to see a picture for some ideas but I wouldn't trust the pest repellent when it comes to dog vs. goats. They make hot wire netting that is temporary so maybe you could put it up, let the goats browse and then take it down.

Yes is it extremely frustrating!! Ok, will get some photos posted.

Ok, here's photos of our driveway.


You can see the orange wall at the entrance of our driveway. There's great forage to be had on both sides of the driveway.


This next photo shows this forage up closer. Unfortunately I don't think there's enough room here to put an electric fence down this side of the driveway??


3rd & 4th photos show the opposite end of the drive where it curves around the front of our house and then up towards the neighbour's entrance way into their property. (Hope that makes sense )


This last photo shows the neighbour's gate across their own entrance way directly off our driveway. In this photo they have one side of their huge gate open. Our house is directly opposite this gate, out of view on the right hand side of the photo.

Oh by the way Babs...in Thailand the common practice here is for people to poison dogs. No one would ever tell their neighbour that their dog was a problem, instead they would just quietly poison the dog. Not keen on doing that.

Hey guys....just found these. What do you think? Maybe in conjunction with something else, e.g. hot wires?

How much land do you own on each side of the driveway? And do they keep their gate open all of the time?

I have no experience with the repellents. They make underground hot wires to keep dogs in but I don't know if the dog has to wear a collar to get shocked or if they make one that will shock no matter what.

Check out this...no idea of price.

Thanks Babs, that's a great idea! I'll do some research on this concept.

We legally OWN the entire driveway. The neighbours are saying they have right to share 15 feet from the boundary fenceline. We do have a document which appears to confirm that. That 15 feet therefore goes across to the treeline on the inside of the drive. The neighbour has also stipulated that we cannot put any structure or anything else on the boundary fenceline up the driveway (darn! There is a perfect spot there just at the curve which would be ideal for a buck pen). We probably need to check all this legally with lawyers of course....just no money to do so.
