Cat deterrant

Hi
Like to ask about cats, not everyone’s favourite animal, but love them or hate them, I don't really want to hurt them
I have a problem at the moment with cats coming into our garden, and stalking the birds.
When I’m around I can normally chase them off, but this is not possible during the week while at work.
Sorry to say I missed one yesterday and it caught a bird, don't know how many more have suffered the same fate
I would like to know if these cat deterrent boxes are any good, anyone used or had experience of them.
There supposed to send a noise only audible to cats
C.J.Wildlife are selling them at £49 and recommended by the RSPB. they are supposed to protect up to 125 Sq metres, which is more than apply for the bird feeding stations
Do these things have to go on the ground or do you fit to the wall a bit like you security light.
Mick
