Yes and no. The 'explanations' are complete, er, crap. And, of
course a physical barrier will work - I use chicken wire, as has
been used and recommended by gardeners since the industrial
revolution created it .... The traditional method uses any
convenient twigs - hawthorn hedge clippings are what used to be
recommended before chicken wire became cheap.

Its claim that it can be used to protect lawns is true, but only
in a politician's sense of 'true', and not in anyone else's. You
would need them dense and tall enough round all edges to stop cats
and squirrels walking, climbing or jumping over them, which would
make mowing impossible without removing them every time.

It will protect ONLY where you place it, and is a fiendishly
expensive way of doing what you could do yourself using wire loops
or any suitable twiggery.

Like I said in my other posting, 60+ pence each to keep the neighbour's
vermin out. WHY WHY WHY do WE have to put up with the damn things?
