Nationwide — Keith and Kenneth Evans, African American twin brothers from Camden, New Jersey, are the masterminds behind a new invention called Poop-Alert™ by BarkBack. Their interactive, motion-activated talking yard sign automatically plays a voice reminder when someone walks nearby, encouraging them to clean up after their dog.
Unlike traditional static signs that are often ignored, Poop-Alert™ by BarkBack grabs attention in real time. Even more, it really does help homeowners, businesses, and property managers solve one of the most frustrating everyday problems — people not picking up after their pets.
“Most signs get ignored. We wanted something that actually speaks up when it matters,” the brothers say. “It’s about solving a real problem in a simple but effective way.”
How it Works
• Motion sensor detects movement up to 15–20 feet away
• Built-in speaker plays a customizable voice message
• Weather-resistant design for outdoor use
• Rechargeable battery with optional solar add-on
• Easy setup in lawns, businesses, or shared spaces
More Than Just a Pet Sign
While originally designed for pet waste reminders, Poop-Alert™ by BarkBack is part of a new category of interactive talking signs that can be used for small businesses promoting products or sales, property management reminders, event messaging, and custom warnings or greetings.
Customers can personalize their sign with their own message and voice recording, making it a unique and engaging communication tool.
Turning Frustation into Innovation
The idea for Poop-Alert™ by BarkBack came from a common issue faced by many homeowners — repeatedly dealing with pet waste left behind in their yard. Instead of relying on passive signage, BarkBack developed a proactive solution that interacts with people in the moment, increasing the chances of behavior change.
As awareness grows, it is gaining attention from homeowners looking for practical solutions, as well as businesses interested in using interactive signage to engage customers in new ways.
Poop-Alert™ by BarkBack is currently patent pending, reinforcing its unique design and innovative functionality.
