Highlighted Reviews

— Steve

"I had a problem with my dog peeing in the same spot no matter what I did. I thought I'd try Stay Away even though the price was high. Well, it was a good investment because my dog won't go near the spot anymore. It' only took a couple sprays for him to learn. No more cleaning up urine!"

— 4P54NT05

"The motion sensor can hardly detect the cat that litters in my garden. If it do so, the sound is not audible enough to scare the cat and the sprayer is not working. This product is just a waste of money."
