I got one a few years back from Magenta electronics :-

http://www.magenta2000.co.uk/kits/867.htm

Pretty easy to build, and also has options for extra slave units.

It pulses at random intervals which seems to be more effective than
continuously blasting out a signal.

When I was testing it I had it on an extension lead from the house
and switched it on when a cat came into the garden.  The reaction was
quite dramatic - the cat was definitely upset and couldn't figure out
what was causing it.  After a few seconds looking around it scarpered
pretty sharpish :)
