This 8-pack of green stakes from Aecity is designed to provide a dense perimeter grid for home gardens. Using solar power, these units operate with zero ongoing energy costs. The green color is a practical choice for those who want the devices to be less noticeable in the grass. The 8-unit count is specifically intended to allow for a close-knit formation, which helps ensure vibrations reach all parts of the yard.
The chassis is made from ABS polymer. Due to the nature of this material, it is important to avoid stepping on the units, as they can become brittle under constant UV exposure. The solar panels require about 6 hours of direct sun to power the 400Hz to 1000Hz pulses for a full 24-hour cycle. In areas with dense root systems or very heavy clay, the effective radius of each spike may be around 15 feet.
Specifications indicate that these units are best kept away from heavy irrigation spray, as the seals are designed for standard rain rather than high-pressure water. The internal batteries may show reduced performance in extreme cold, so some users may find it helpful to store the units during mid-winter. This setup offers an eco-friendly alternative to using poison baits in your lawn.
Summary: An unobtrusive, solar-powered grid solution for medium-sized lawns that works best when protected from physical weight and extreme cold.
