Pomeat15 PCS Scat Mat for Cats Indoor 16 x 12'' Dogs and Cat Deterrent Outdoor Mat with Spikes for Garden Yard Fence Furniture Couch, with 10 Stakes, Black

Love these strips. They help to ensure my cat children have not engulfed my sofa set while I’m away from home through the day. Nice design, great size, affordable, durable in usages, and easy to operate. Will purchase more for other areas of the home.

This product really works. I have trimmed it and cut it to position area surrounding the post where the numbers to our house is. The dogs will step on it and leap off immediately. No more dogs peeing on that post and no more dogs pooping on my garden right at the entrance to my home. This is a marvelous thing. I see the same dogs that used to dump right there walk on it and immediately run off. They never do it twice. And it’s fairly good looking as well! It’s a dark area surrounding the flowers that I have growing there and looks really quite elegant and professional. I can’t help running to the window every time a dog walks by to watch them, not poop on my yard. The dogs in the neighborhood have learned, they don’t even sniff in that direction anymore. They just walk on by.UPDATE: I still love this solution to my problem. Having had it down now since my first entry, I have discovered these trap small leaves in the fall. I just pull them up, stacked, rake the leaves, and re-apply. Presto! A neat, new look. Also - now the Unconscionably Rude Dog Walkers who leave their dog's poop have selected another part of my front border upon which to leave their feces, despite my lovely garden filled with summer flowers for all to admire and take delight in. (sigh) I am prepared to cover all of my parking strip if I have to; I have ordered 10 more boxes.

Very good product. The only complaint is the fastening mechanism. It’s terrible to try to push these things together especially with arthritis. You need a flashlight and a screwdriver. Then the plastic just breaks away.That’s the only complaint as a fastening method, very weak.

I tried these at Christmas to keep my cat away from the tree. I tested to make sure they didn't hurt her and they did not. They were uncomfortable enough that she didn't walk on them though. The best thing is that last year the rabbits were eating my Hosta's, but this year, after putting these around the plants, they don't get close enough to bother them. They are a little hard to get apart and handle due to the points, but tolerable and worth it to me. Since my mulch is also black, they don't show up that much and I can enjoy the Hosta's all summer... It's been great! I worried they were too light weight and might blow away, but they didn't move at all. I do recommend them for both issues.... Except I didn't keep them around the tree as they don't exactly look nice on the floor but did keep them long enough that the cat got used to not going around the tree anyway.

Previous tenent started a garden then abandoned it leaving a bare dirt patch which turned into a litter box for neighborhood cats. Reseeded the area and laid these over the area to keep the cats out. Worked perfectly and stopped the cats immediately.I used the stakes to keep the exterior tiles down incase I tripped over it, I wouldn't have to reseat them. But they stay down on the dirt fine without them. This set was the best size to price ratio I could find on Amazon so it's a great deal.

Mats are a great idea,but not enough of them for the price Also should come with more stakes to install them.It takes more than given.Other than that they work great.

The media could not be loaded. I bought these mats instead of a spike strip because they are described as 1 inch wider than the strips, making the total area a better value than the strips and offsetting the need to connect them; however, the assembled mats measured 11 inches wide, just like the strips (see photo). I contacted the seller, who told me the width is 11.81 inches, which I guess includes the length of the connectors on the ends because the mats themselves didn't measure that way. Additionally, only the long edges include connectors, so if you want the full 160 inch (13.3ft) length, you will need to come up with a way to connect the mats yourself (I used bread ties). FYI, the length of the mat when I connected the long sides together was 9 ft 5 inches. I think these mats might be better suited for people who want to cover area around things instead of along things.My box included 10 mats and 7 metal stakes. It did not include instructions for joing the mats, which gave me a few pokes and scrapes. I eventually settled on slipping the rectangular connector over the split arrowhead (it'll make sense when you look at the pictures =-) and pressing one edge of the rectangle down until it popped beneath the edge of the arrowhead, then twisting til the other edge popped down led to the fewest ouchies. They were easier than I'd expected to undo as well by twisting in the opposite direction. the mats were molded with rectangular connectors throughout which were oriented in different directions, which would be convenient for cutting and fitting the mats, and there were even spikes molded in that I thought could be snipped out and used for extra ground stakes, or maybe folded out to hook onto neighboring mats.I'm happy with my final mat, but if I'd understood how the product had been measured, I would have got a better value with less hassle by purchasing a strip.
