Note - Fitment against cats
This is a tech product and good fitment must be ensured. Priority is to cause discomfort and NO HARM
Cats can have degrees of tolerance to the spikes which derives from breed, age and experience. Cats can actually walk on broken glass once up at a height but they will not jump on the glass!
Please ensure the spikes are fitted 6 ft> so cat has to jump on them
Suggest moving anything the cat can use to climb up. Ensure the cats have to jump onto the spikes for them to be MOST effective
Fit on edge of fence the cat will gain access and not centre. Cover whole surface, leave no steps or gaps (Inc fence posts)
You may find cat will attempt a few times and then go away
Legislation
These devices are legal as long as they are mounted on heights of over 6ft, not fitted as to be a deliberate means to injure and a weather proof warning sign is fitted in the area of fitment (Supplied - 1 sign per 10 strips)

Bought these to go on my fences to stop pesky cats and squirrels from frightening off the garden birds, and from the squirrels from nicking the food. Really well made stuff. Can be used as single, double or triple strips, depending on the width of the fence or wall. Tacks or glues into place with no effort. Arrived in 36hrs. Highly recommend, cause it really does work, and is heavy duty, not flimsy like some I've seen. Great.

Well, so far, so good. These spikes do appear to work. Obviously, it's a bit difficult to 'prove a negative' but so far I have not had any more furry visitors.
I did notice one cat climbing up towards my wall, putting one paw gingerly up towards the area that has had the spikes fitted and then quickly deciding that perhaps it wasn't such a good idea. Another local moggy just looked disgusted and stalked off.
I think that the secret to successful use of these spikes is in the positioning. If you can, fit them in an area where the animal is going to have to jump up, then they will work very effectively. However, if you fit them somewhere where the animal may simply walk, albeit carefully, in, on and around them, then they will not be so effective.
The strips each have three rows of off-set spikes. They are fairly easy to fold, if you want to fit them around the top of a fence. Equally, they are fairly easy to split into 2 or 3 strips by the careful use of something like a Stanley Knife. The spikes are made of very solid and hard plastic and are considerably more robust than I thought they would be, which is good.
I am also using a PestBye Battery Operated Cat Repeller and that, with the spikes, has resulted in a cat-free or, more to the point, cat poo free back yard.
So - recommended, but a little bit of planning may be necessary in order to make the most effective use of them.

I was told by my local Health & Safety officer that, in her experience, these plastic spikes are not really effective but that carpet grippers (little nails sticking out from long wooden strips) are better and cheaper. She had the same problem with cats invading her garden. However, having already bought this product, I nailed the plastic strips onto my fencing, only to be disappointed. As with alarms, commercial cat deterrents simply do not work. Finally, I hit upon a solution, which is to run green (almost invisible) small gauge chicken wire about 10cm above the height of the fence for the section of fencing my neighbour's cats use. Together with the plastic spikes, I have had success in blocking the nightly cat run with the desired results of a clean lawn. Once my shrubs cover the wire, there will be no visible trace. I would not advise purchasing cat alarms, which, in my experience, are useless. These spikes are effective in combination with chicken wire, however.

I like this product; very good value for money to 'finish off' the job of new gates or fences. Good news here is that they are unobtrusive and don't look hideous or 'aggressive'... Read more
