CARCAT Ultrasound Rat Repellent for Automobiles - 4th Gen car Rat Repellent - red - Made in INDIA -Waterproof Rat Repellent for cars - 94% efficacy, cream

The car rat device has certainly exceeded my expectations with its effectiveness in keeping rodents away. Its user-friendly design made the installation process quick and easy, saving me valuable time. I appreciate the peace of mind it provides, knowing my car is protected from unwanted guests. The device's consistent performance has proven to be reliable, making it a worthwhile investment. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to others.

The media could not be loaded. We park our cars outside and we recently had two incidents - rat bit and damaged the fuel line in my 18yr old Getz and couple of weeks later, it bit off the wiring in my wife’s Jazz. It’s not a matter of money, but rather the availability of the damaged parts and of course, the downtime. First I tried to eliminate the rat, but when I couldn’t I moved to creating a deterrent. Tried naphthalene balls, tobacco and eventually settled for spraying the engine bay with 3M rodent repellent. This was effective, but one day I saw rat droppings on the engine of the Jazz and attempted bite marks on my Getz’s fuel line. This meant the rats were revisiting and I needed to keep spraying the engine bays regularly. This is not always feasible, so I started looking for more permanent solution. I researched for devices that could be installed in the car that would keep the rats away. That’s when I came across Carcat. Went through their website in detail, read customer reviews on Amazon and other sources. One thing I realised is that the company has really put a lot of thought into their product, including researching on vermin behaviour and how to improve the product to counter the vermin menace. I didn’t find any other product which gave such detailed explanation on the problem and how the product was going to help deal with it. Sure, it’s expensive, but think of the ROI. Changing the wiring harness in the Jazz costs 17k, and if the ECM is damaged, add another 25k to that. Now imagine you having to change this frequently. In the case of my Getz, it was grounded for 7 weeks because I couldn’t find the replacement part! I had to finally source it from outside the country! So that’s that. Also, the product has nifty features, like turning off when the engine is started and the standby mode (when you go on vacation). It’s easy to install, just follow the instructions provided (which is pretty detailed I must add); it took me all of 30mins to find the spot to fix it, drill holes and finish the wiring. Adding the pictures and videos of the install done on our Jazz; one of the videos is the device disengaging when the engine is started and another one of the light works inside the engine bay when the bonnet is closed. I installed the device three days back and so far it’s doing its job. You may ask why this detailed review - well, I’m sure there are folks out there with the same predicament I was in and need a no-BS review, so here it is. I’ve purchased a second device for my Getz, which I’ll be installing tomorrow. And no, this is not a paid promo; I wish it was, but it isn’t. Hope this helps.Update: couldn’t upload multiple videos as Amazon doesn’t allow it. So, put all three in one. Enjoy.Update 2: It’s been more than a month since I installed the Carcat in both our cars and I’m happy to report that there have been no intrusions in the engine bay nor any untoward incidents with the car involving the vermin. No, it is not that they’ve migrated to Canada; I still see them scurrying about (big fat ones) - they just don’t mess with our cars. So, all in all a great product and a worthy investment.

I ordered this product hoping it would solve the rat problem, but unfortunately, it didn’t work as expected. Despite proper installation and usage, it had no noticeable effect. Complete waste of money in my experience. Not recommended.

This is the good and effective product to protect the car from the rat attack.

My observation and feedback may appear very exhaustive, but please have patience to go thru it fully. Having observed some rodent droppings inside my Ford Figo car engine compartment, along with teeth marks on my battery, added with some fish fry leftovers lying next to the battery, I had to act upon finding a permanent workable solution to curb the rat menace.I had initially wasted my time and money spraying 3M Rodent repellant 2 to 3 times every week. Although it was keeping the rodents at bay, I had to take care to ensure that spraying should be done only when the engine is cold, lest it may catch fire. I was inquisitive to know more about when my neighbour told me about this CARCAT was available with Amazon.Without loss of time i quickly logged into Amazon, located that and went thru the details. I was doubly convinced that the product being certified by ARAI must be a very reliable and dependable one, to thwart away the rodents when fixed in the car. I immediately placed order for the CARCAT unit on 4th November,2023 which was delivered to me after four days. The instruction manual gave me ample clarity on its usage with fixing procedure. I could do it myself as per that since I myself is a retired automobile professional and I had extra zeal and enthusiasm in doing it. Touch wood, till date there is no trace of a rat in the vicinity of my car and I can always hear the beeps at regular intervals from the installed unit. There is no question of the car battery discharging beyond a point as the unit consumes very less power to keep it functional 24x7.To prevent battery run-down due to this while car is parked unused, it's sufficient if you run your car atleast once or twice a week. It is almost 9 months now since my purchase date and i am quite happy and fully satisfied that it is serving my purpose intended. Imagine otherwise the cost incurred towards repair and replacement of parts namely, wiring harness and other damages due to rat bites besides causing mental pain and agony.Overall, CARCAT is a very feasible and economical solution for the rodent nuisance. I only wish it works well for a prolonged period even after this one year warranty. The manufacturers should offer the primary warranty for 2 years looking at their product reliability instead of their offer to buy extended warranty at a cost. That will boost their sales besides expanding their satisfied customer base. New and used car owners can blind-foldedly go for this CARCAT unit. It's a win-win situation for both.- J.Manohar
