Customer feedback describes the spikes as good quality, but reports tricky installation and disagreement about effectiveness. Some feedback also highlights sharpness, including a report of finger injuries during fitting. For buyers, that makes careful handling and a suitable mounting plan important, while results against pests remain uncertain. Aggregate ratings are generally favourable but include a meaningful range of lower ratings, so they do not settle the mixed reports.
