COL. JONN BLASFORD-SNELL:
THE EXPLORERS CLUB:
Dear Sir,
I have just returned from an expedition in Mongolia where we used your "Critter Gitter" to keep wolves away from our horses at night. It was most successful.
I should like to have three of these splendid devices sent by airmail to my colleague.
Please could you advise me.
Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
- John Blasford-Snell |
HAPPY GARDENER
THE CRITTER GITTER WORKED FOR HIM
To Whom It May Concern:
I received your “Critter Gitters” as a gift last Christmas. My son and daughter in law felt badly for me because every year,I take great pains to plant and nurture a vegetable garden. Every year,the garden is savaged by deer, rabbits and other small animals.
I mounted the “Critter Gitters” as specified in the instructions. I must admit at first, I wasn’t sure if they were going to work. After a few weeks, I noticed that none of my vegetables had been touched! The high pitched squeal that sounds when an animal approaches has become music to my ears.
It’s nice to see a company deliver what they promise. Thanks for the best garden that I have had in ten years!
Sincerely,
Sam Natoli |
PROTECTED CAMPERS
THE CRITTER GITTER WORKED FOR THEM
We were camped in our patio boat for the night on Lake Shasta. Since I am afraid of bears, we set up our Critter Gitter. We placed it on a stake, in the dirt, on the right side of the boat facing North. We slept in the front of the boat with all the canvas closed. Around 2 AM, the Critter Gitter went off. It was loud. We quickly opened up the canvas and saw the rear end of a large bear racing up the hill. Needless to say, he didn’t come back. When the sun came up, we followed his tracks. He must have bumped into the Critter Gitter as it was facing North and he came up from the South.
It was after that adventure that we got another Critter Gitter so we were secure in both directions. We could sleep worry free under the protection of the Critter Gitter.

DEER DETERRENT
THE CRITTER GITTER WORKED FOR HER
Dear Service Representatives,
A year ago I purchased one of your animal control products “Critter Gitter” I live in an area with a large deer population. Since the area is close to a college campus, the deer are not easily discouraged by people. They are very destructive to the gardens and shrubs, creating a problem for the neighborhood.
I found your animal control product in a gift catalog and decided to try it before resorting to an electric fence.
The “Critter Gitter” has been effective in discouraging the deer. They avoid the area protected by this device. I have now ordered additional ones to protect all of my yard. Since it is battery operated, it can be placed anywhere. I use clear plastic to protect it from the weather.
Thank you for this amazing product!
Sincerely yours,
Carolyn Holmes |
BEAR & SKUNK REPELLENT FOR BEEYARDS:
THE CRITTER GITTER WORKED FOR THEM
New Bear and Skunk Repellent for Beeyards (article)
Amtek’s Critter Gitter is a safe and effective electronic animal repellant that works quickly to keep wild animals such as bear, deer, raccoons and other wild animals from any outdoor area.
Using heat and motion detection, Critter Gitter detects intruding animals from up to 40 feet away within a 90 degree radius. Each time the animal enters this protected area, the Critter Gitter emits a startling, high pitched sound, which frightens them from the area. The unit also has flashing red lights to simulate the threat of another animal. The unit resets automatically after each intrusion and resets for the next.
After just a few entries, wild and domestic animals alike learn to stay out and away from any area. Many customers have reported successful use of the Critter Gitter in keeping:
- Bears away from beehives and campsites
- Deer away from flower and vegetable gardens
- Raccoons away from plants and garbage containers
- Neighborhood dogs and cats from littering in the yard
The Enhancer is an accessory to Critter Gitter for situations that require more versatility. Plug it into your Critter Gitter and it will activate at the same time as the Critter Gitter, adding extra sirens and flashing lights. The Enhancer will mount easily to give you more ways to customize your Critter Gitter system. |
THE BEARS AND THE BEES
THE CRITTER GITTER WORKED FOR HIM
Hello, I have an apiary near Barriere, British Columbia. You may have heard news this summer of the huge forest fire outbreaks we’ve had. In early July, I purchased a Critter Gitter, as we needed protection for the apiary from the bears. As we also have a camping area near the hives, we were reluctant to install an electric fence. My property is minutes away from one of the largest grizzly bear conservation areas in B.C. and we also have a healthy black and brown bear population. Not an ideal place to operate bee hives, but I really wanted to try and produce some forest honey (a blend from forest plants to produce a totally different taste). July was great but very dry. We only had one morning of rain on July 2nd. The berry crop was really poor this year and the bears started to move down into the valleys in search of food. Across the lake from us, hardly a day went by that we didn’t hear the air horns warning of bears in the area. August 1st we were evacuated on short notice due to the Barriere fire, which even now is not extinguished and nearly took the town (over 100 square miles). The whole area was evacuated and I had to leave the bee hives unprotected, and was not allowed back into the area for two weeks!
Upon my return, I fully expected to see the smashed remains of my bee hives, as there were no occupants on the lake for two weeks. I expected to see a lot of damage from the animals. When I drove up, I saw my hives, still standing as I had left them. Forgetting about the Critter Gitter, I hurried over to inspect the damage…Wow, that woke me up! The siren wailed and my first reaction was to get out of there! The hives were untouched, even though bears were foraging right across the street. I harvested a great crop of forest honey that is very popular and selling fast.
My thanks for your product, next year I want to add a strobe horn, as I plan on adding more hives.

CRITTER GITTER REVIEW:
Howdy:
I wished everything in America worked as good as a AMTEK Critter Getter.
I just purchased three more AMTEK Critter Getters. The first four AMTEK Critter Getters I purchased from you August 1, 1995, haven't quit I just wanted more security. This time we also bought the 9V battery eliminators.
Having received the merchandise in good shape, I thought I'd drop you a line, so all the newbie?s in your company would have some idea how AMTEK Critter Getters have performed over the years. It seems like only yesterday I was trying to keep the stray dogs, cats and other animals off our property.
In November, 2009 we placed our AMTEK Critter Getters inside our boat, RV and shop to keep thieves from stealing our property after a rash of burglaries resulted in the loss of a motorcycle, gasoline and tools from our neighbors.
During that period, somebody turned us into the police, probably the thieves, because our AMTEK Critter Getter alarms were going off as so called "Dog Walkers" past within 40 feet of our home. We just turn the AMTEK Critter Getters in a different direction and left them on.
We always use our AMTEK Critter Getters at home when we travel. Having logged more than 62,000 miles across North America our AMTEK Critter Getters give us peace of mind knowing that anyone in close proximity to our property will have the bejesus scared out of them when they set off that high pitched alarm.
Thank you for all you do,
Skip Sumstine
CRITTER GITTER ALARMS REALLY WORK FOR ME
I just want you to know that the Critter Gitter alarms really work for me.
I like cats but they used to come into my back patio and leave the remains of half eaten gophers near my patio door.
After I got the Critter Gitter alarm, I had no more problems with my back patio.
However, the cats then left their bounty on my front porch. The solution---another Critter Gitter! It worked and I have no more problems.
I live alone and I found the alarm also let me know when unwanted sales people came to my door. It keeps them away too!
Sincerely, Rose White

WE'VE HEARD IT ALL....
TESTIMONIALS FROM ONE OF OUR RETAILERS:
As a seller of Critter Gitters for several years now, I have to say, this little black box is a remarkable device for keeping usual and unusual unwanted animals away.
I have heard all kinds of stories from our customers....
Oregon Department of Forestry recommends Critter Gitter to help with bear problem...
· Two elderly ladies in Oregon were afraid for their lives and property. They were being terrorized by a bear that broke into their shed to raid the freezer in the building.
The bear had graduated to trying to break down the door of the house, so the Oregon Department of Forestry lent the ladies a Critter Gitter to protect the house and them.
It worked very well so they bought Critter Gitters to protect the freezer and the house. The bear has not been back.
Florida man gets help from cranes destroying his plants...
· A man in Florida had a field that a flock of cranes regularly dug up the plants there. Cranes are a protected species so he couldn't trap or kill them.
A series of strategically placed Critter Gitters did the job of letting his plants grow.
New York man protects his fish from herons...
· A man in New York has a pond with exotic fish. He purchased Critter Gitters to keep herons away from the pond.
The Critter Gitters lie face up on an island in the middle of the pond.
· Chicken growers use Critter Gitters to keep foxes away.
· Beekeepers use Critter Gitters coupled with an electric fence to keep bears away.
The fur is thick enough that they often break through the electric fence only to be turned away by the Critter Gitters.
California man keeps bats from his eaves...
· A man in California uses Critter Gitters to keep bats from nesting under the eaves of his house.
Hawaii & eastern states deter wild pigs...
· Critter Gitters are used in Hawaii and several eastern states to keep wild pigs away.
· Campers use them to keep cougar and bears away from their food supplies.
· Cabin owners keep animals away from windows and doors by placing Critter Gitters under the eaves pointed at the portals.
· Ranchers in northern regions keep deer out of their yards with Critter Gitters.
· Orchard owners keep deer and elk from debarking the trees in winter by surrounding the orchard with Critter Gitters.
· Vineyard owners use Critter Gitters to keep rabbits and deer away from the vines.
· A man bought a Critter Gitter to protect a bird nest from Owls. The owls removed the Critter Gitter from its nail and dashed it on
rocks below so the man strapped the new Critter Gitter onto the tree next to the nest and it did the job.
· In the winter, squirrels like to sleep inside the engine compartment of my car to keep warm. I keep them out with Critter Gitters.
· A friend uses a Critter Gitter to protect his coy pond from cats.
Moose and skunks ignore them.
Critter Gitters aren't much good for these animals. |
