We have a lot of goat heads (that's what we call them in Idaho), they are brown with little spikes - will it prevent flats from those?

I have been rolling with Conti Gatorskins and these tubes since January, and we have loads of goat head thorns (Denver, CO). I haven't had a single flat with this combination. Last year, on typical specialized racing slicks and standard tubes, I'd have a flat about once every two weeks. So, while I'm reluctant to say *anything* is proof against goat heads (I once had one of these babies puncture my hiking boot sole), this has been a great option for me.

I am not familiar with those. however, the inner tubes have performed very well in the city of murfreesboro, TN. My college girls were continuously getting flat tires and with these inner tubes i haven't dealt with a flat yet.

I am more familiar with glass shards, nails and other manmade roadside debris found in throughout Florida. I imagine they should be (in all likelihood) more hazardous than the goat heads you're referring to. If you mate the Sunlites with a heavy-duty tire (i.e. Gator Hardshell or Armadillo), you should be able to roll over just about anything unscathed. Obviously, this is NOT a typical/ideal race setup; but it is probably the most effective way of limiting/eliminating the possibility of flats. Cheers!

In order to obtain the best possible solution to flats caused by goat heads, mate this tube with tires that incorporate Aramid or Kevlar, fibers used in Police radials and body armor.

The package is listed as 3 pounds shipping weight, two pounds of this is rubber. That is two pounds per tube. I'm guessing these will work against any thorns shorter then 4mm. Just keep in mind that these greatly increase rolling resistance.

Not completely flat. It has low ridges, I presume for drainage. They are barely visible in the picture on the site.

Well, no, probably not. You should look into an actual repellant, like the type designedto keep pets out of flower beds. Amazon stocks several of these.

I'm too arid to know the answer to that question! These did work pretty well keeping the squirrels away until the raccoons kept uprooting them and throwing them at the horse :)

If this is the tall netting, depending on the crop you can use posts, or laying the netting over the crop will deter deer!

I think there is a powder to put on plants that will keep deer away. We put up small fences around our trees and sprinkles them with red pepper or chili powder.

Nothing that I know of. But I have heard that if you wipe the outside of the red cap with white vinegar it will help and not hurt the birds.

Probably not. I got it to try and keep skunks raccoons, possums, and cats away, they are still coming around. Wish I could find something to keep them away

If the mice are climbing up inside the downspouts, the gutter brushes would prevent them from exiting the downspouts. The brushes lay in the gutter and would block the hole to prevent them from getting on the roof.

Yes. I got this to prevent birds and squirrels from eating my buds. It works.

In my personal experience, poles were used to support the netting and it worked perfectly to keep the deer away from precious plants. As a matter of fact, they no longer frequent my yard. The poles I used had raised notches on them which allowed the mesh to just latch onto them without the use of any ties or hardware.

i had the posts, so i just used them to cover my beans because i wanted to pick underneath them, but i suppose you could just lay it on top of whatever you want to protect.fyi - depending on what you are wanting to keep the deer away from, i have foundthat the weed barrier (for the ground) works the best. they can't stand walking on it, & you have abonus of no weeds, less water usage, clean product, no rot (pumpkins) & warms the soil fora product like tomatoes! ":-) i roll it up & use it year after year.

Sure just dont put them in really high so its pulling their fur really tight because they may dig and scratch at it. We are going to use then on our daughters pony for its next show!

The Hair Snare has ridges for stacking purposes. The ridges would prevent a proper seal allow water and hair to go down the drain.

I would say its good to use to prevent flatheads for your child. The only drawback for this item that I noticed was the material used does not breathe as well. That could cause some issues.

Kathy, since you place these underground, they could potentially be okay. What I did observe in one case, the critter actually pushed the 1/2 poison block to the surface. In that case, it would be a problem for free range chicks.

You just have to use thr right size for your tires. I have no idea what a Goathead is but if it punctures tires these will work
