About this product
Cats using your fence as a motorway, squirrels treating the garden wall like their climbing frame. These prickle strips sit along the top, making it uncomfortable enough for them to find somewhere else. They're not sharp enough to cause harm, just enough to deter. Made from weather-resistant polypropylene that won't crack or fade in the sun, so they'll still work next year. You get six strips that fix down with cable ties, screws, nails or silicone, whatever you have. They work on garden walls, fences, sheds, anywhere animals get over that you'd rather they didn't.
The polypropylene construction stands up to rain and UV without deteriorating. Six strips in each pack let you cover a decent stretch of fence or wall. Multiple fixing options mean you can use cable ties for quick installation or screws for something more permanent. The spike design discourages climbing and perching without causing injury to animals. Weather-resistant build keeps them effective through all seasons. Suitable for garden fences, walls, sheds and gates. Comes with a manufacturer's 1-year guarantee for peace of mind.

Customers Say
Effective and easy-to-install fence toppers that deter cats, pigeons, and foxes. Durable and good value, though less effective against squirrels and some birds. Some users wish screws were included.

Flexible and strong
Bought this a few days ago and have fixed them to a gazebo to stop pigeons sitting on the bars. Works great. Also put them over the garden gate. Very durable, and easily splits down to narrow strips where needed.

Subtle feature
I bought this last week and found it to be reasonably priced and easy to fix to the fence. However, it is too early to report if it has been a deterrent to both cats and pigeons.

Fox / cat deterent
Having bought this item twice so that I could install it completely around the garden to fend off foxes from entering the garden . Is so simple to install and has proved extremely effective in its purpose. No foxes have been seen in the garden since it's attachment on top of all the fences. The lengths are ideal as 4 strips fit one fence panel exactly.- well designed.

No use for deterring squirrels
I can't say how this product does in preventing cats, however I bought it to prevent squirrels getting at my bird feeder, when I saw a squirrel sittn on one of the stip I realised tha it wasn't going to work!! The product seems well made though and is easy to fitad I guess if you are trying to deter cats, quite possibly effective.

Cat deterrent
Very happy with this product. Fastens over the whole of the top of the fence curvature. Durable to all kinds of weather and keeps the neighbours cat out from fighting with mine. Recommended 5 stars.

Fixed the problem
Fixed to top of fence to prevent cat sitting on fence by a bird box . It was a bit awkward to fix as the points got in way of attaching to fence

effective
An easy, reasonably priced and very effective way of repelling pigeons from my trellis.The inclusion of screws would have been helpful.

Cats phew!
I hoped these would keep the local cat out my yard, but I think the one that keeps trying has been trained by Vaslav Nijinsky, it seems to be able to dance through the gaps between the spikes. The deterrent is there though, not a bad product, for te price some screws would add to its value.
