Plai 6 x Flat Prickle Strip Dig Stopper, Cat Repellent Mat, Scat Mats, Wild Animal Digging Deterrent with 12 Garden Staples and 30 Twist Tie

VERY, VERY sceptical about these. However, no amount of garlic, lemon or cat deterrent sprays/granules worked. We were at our wits end. Couldn't just chuck kids out to play in the garden without going out every day/throughout the day and cleaning it up.Anyway, was unsure due to price whether they would work and the fact it's a bit of plastic really. Well, we are gobsmacked! They ACTUALLY WORK! We have not seen one turd in sight! 👍 The plant troughs out the front are completely clear for the first time in ages. They are a godsend! Soft enough that if you leaned on them, they wouldn't cause pain just a bit of discomfort but obviously unpleasant to cats! Yes, they are pricey but they are a godsend, no more poop in the garden or flower beds!

Great strips and did do the trick of keep the cats off the lawn. Unlike others strips these come flat so don't curl up when you unpack them as you try and lay them down. Only issue is price as the strips are small you'll need to pay for two or several packs to cover larger areas otherwise I'd give 5 stars.

Absolutely brilliant, and a life-saver (cat's life, that is...)! Very easy to cut to the right size and shape, I installed mine in 2 round pots. I use coco-soil in my pots, and my cat was going crazy for it! Every time he was near the pots, he would immediately jump in, and start digging frantically. With this little mesh any digging is completely impossible. The cat is still curious about the pots, and jumps in and walks (albeit awkwardly) around the tree, but he can't get to the soil anymore. The spikes are blunt, soft'ish, and very well spaced so that they go between his digits and don't hurt his paws. Is it too pricey at £16.99? Possibly. But who can put a price on peaceful co-existence with our furry rascals!

These pricks were apparently not sharp and painful enough when stepped on to stop hungry foxes from going through our waste bin (placed on the floor around the bin).I think they may work better against less motivated animals or to prevent digging where more force is applied.On the plus side - they were easy to setup, the holding pins are great.I ended up buying a different kind which worked perfectly for me.

OMG. this may be an expensive product, I have have spent about £50 on this stuff over the last year, but it is definitely worth it. At last, our patio pots are no longer used as cat toilets. The smell has gone, the stress has gone. It was really getting me down. The pots have been clear for about a month now. Im also starting to wonder whether it stops slugs and snails which would be an incredible bonus! thank you.

Total rip off. The description says 12 pieces, there are only 6 (which it does say in one of the images so they get away with it). For what you get this barely covers any area of soil and is a rip off.

We have a problem with cats thinking the flower beds are their toilets and have tried everything!I bought these as a deterrent with all fingers crossed.They’re easy to cut and put in, and though they came with fixing accessories I did t use them, I just partially buried the mats.In the few weeks I’ve had them the number of ‘gifts’ has reduced to just one, but this may have been because I buried the mat with not enough left above ground.There isn’t a huge amount of coverage for the price, but they are worth it if you value your garden!

My squirrel nemesis was finally stumped by these very useful plastic honeycombs. In one case, the squirrel just looked at them and gave up, in other cases he jumped into my pots but quickly realized he couldn't do anything, so he hopped out, and tried all the other pots I'd placed them in... they stopped him every time. These plastic things are easy to cut to any size with ordinary scissors. I ordered another set to use to protect my bulbs until spring.
