Store medication and pest bait somewhere a pet can't reach — not just up high
"High up" stops a toddler. It doesn't stop a cat or a counter-surfing dog. Fewer than five independent reports so far, so it is still unverified — try it and file one.
Why it works
Cats jump onto counters and shelves routinely, and larger dogs can reach further than owners expect standing on hind legs. A closed cabinet or container defeats both; a high open shelf defeats neither.
Did it work for you?
One report per person. This is the only thing that moves the badge — there is no like button.
