kylie: I love these. It requires a little work though! I always dig down slightly and then pour some soil over top of the scat mat. It’s kept things out from under my deck and it has stopped the dogs from digging at the fence. It’s visually appealing because you don’t even know it’s there.. which I like! Nothing looks worse than holes around the deck and fence and then having to use wire. This is a great option

GK: Laid it out on a strip aside the house to keep the neighbors cat from pooping where it was. At first, due to the size of this I thought that buying another one was necessary but it isn't. Apparently just by laying one of these was enough to keep the cat away.

CJ: Works great for flower bed to keep out neighbourhood cats.
I've been using this mat for a few years, have not needed to replace it but I do take it out in the spring to remove all the fallen leaves that get stuck to it

Amazon Customer: This seems to be working well keeping the racoons off the garden shed roof which was being used as a toilet ugh! Hope it carries on keeping them off lol

Mark C.: I almost feel bad for giving this fewer than five stars for a reason that has little to do with quality, but I want to point out for other buyers a trade-off they might not realize they're making.

(BTW: for keeping cats off stuff, I used to cut up those desk-chair floor-protectors for carpet that had big spiky nubs on the underside: Those worked great, but were hard to cut (lots of obnoxious plastic dust), & the nubs weren't as pronounced, & you had to keep a big, awkward sheet that you sawed chunks out of: I didn't realize "Scat Mat" was a whole thing now till I found it while actually **searching for** the old deskchair-mats. Thank god this is a thing now! SO much easier!)

The trade-off you might want to consider is this: a lot of the more inexpensive Scat Mats come in rolls, which, while being more flexible if you need longer lengths, means you have to pretty aggressively FLATTEN IT if you want it to lie FLAT (and this is almost always the case, no?)...ESPECIALLY the last little bit, which is tightly curled, in a very tight radius at the center of the roll.

I reverse-rolled small sections (rolled them "inside out" from the way they'd been shipped)...

betsallonu: Been fighting Racoons and feral cats for 3.5 years now in this new house. Spent about $600 between electronic devices sprays, pest repellant granules, home made essential oil sprays, ammonia spray, Cayenne pepper, etc. You name it, I've tried it. Everything works for a little while and either they get used to it and start coming back or it rains and washes it away (Florida rains)or I am out of town for work. I come home to raccoon sh__ in my pool, muddy tracks all over the deck or a feral cat laying sunning himself at the end of the pool. They don't even move if you throw a rock at them or yell. This mat works well for cats under my fence or deck. (chicken wire even with the proper tool still hurts my hand after cutting a few strips).The problem is wherever you don't have this mat they will just find a new place. I have a huge yard and this can get pretty pricey. For racoons they just grab it and move it like everything else I've tried (cinder blocks, 2x4's, cinder blocks holding 2x4's, etc.) I think a big dog will solve a lot of my problems but I travel for work. I think if they could make a heavier version of this will stronger tie downs the Racoons would not be able to lift it....
