How to Setup My PetSafe® SSSCAT® Automatic Spray Deterrent

Choose the Best Location

Choose best locationChoose best location

Choose an indoor location for the SSSCAT® Spray that meets the following:

  • Temperature is between 60°F and 80°F. 
  • Within 39 inches of the path your pet will cross.
  • Pointing in a way that your pet will pass in front of the unit instead of walking towards it.
  • Not near or pointed towards heat sources like HVAC vents, heaters, stovetops, ovens, etc. or somewhere that receives direct sunlight during the day. The heat can interfere with the motion sensor on the spray nozzle.

Do not use this device near pet birds as it can startle them.

Adjust the Settings

Once you have selected a location for the unit, you can adjust the activation range if it seems to be activating from too far away. For more information, visit How to Switch Modes on My PetSafe® SSSCAT® Automatic Spray Deterrent
