I'm lazy.

It takes 3 D cells and they last a long time it the raccoons don't hold a 
square dance on the deck. I first bought one to try to dissuade the coons 
but they like to see what they're eating and thanked me for the improved 
ambiance. Then as the days got shorter I realize it was a lot handier than 
fumbling with the lock like I'd been doing for 30 years. The cat has 
worked out the coverage and seldom triggers it.

When the batteries are getting weak it triggers repeatedly which is as 
good as an additional low battery indicator. I had one of those on a LED 
flashlight and it earned its keep by draining the battery so it could show 
how well it was doing its job. later iterations of the flashlight skipped 
that 'feature'.
