This 12-pack of Rwsefk stakes is one of the largest kits available, designed for high-density perimeter overlapping in large yards or gardens. These units are made from ABS polymer, which is selected for its impact resistance. By using a larger number of stakes, homeowners can better manage areas with many underground obstacles like foundations or large trees that might block sonic signals.
The solar-powered design ensures zero ongoing operating costs. However, the polycrystalline panels can see a drop in efficiency in overcast conditions. Each unit emits a pulse between 400Hz and 1000Hz, which is most effective in loose loam. In very compacted clay or earth, the range of the vibration may be significantly reduced. The internal Ni-MH batteries are sealed within the unit and are not intended for easy replacement.
Because these stakes have a wall thickness of less than 1.8mm, they are best installed by first creating a hole with a shovel or probe. This prevents "crush failure" that can occur in dry soil. The water resistance is rated for standard outdoor splashes, but the units should be moved if the yard experiences flooding or heavy irrigation to protect the internal circuitry.
Summary: A high-capacity 12-unit set for extensive yard coverage, offering a non-toxic alternative to baits when placed in optimal solar and soil conditions.
If you prefer a smaller kit that includes integrated path lighting, you might look at the LED-integrated 8-pack for your walkways.
