Fence Spikes
As mentioned in a previous post an important part of deterring cats from your garden is securing your perimeter – an effective method of doing this is to put security spike cat deterrent strips on your fences, as this is one of the most common ways that cats will get into your garden.
Most types of security spike strips come in a variety of colours and are made of weather resistant materials such as polypropylene. The plastic spikes are designed to provide maximum discomfort and minimum harm.
The ones I use consist of 3 rows of spikes per strip (half a metre long, 4.5 cm wide, 1.5 cm tall) which I find just perfect for my fence. The strips consist of 2 hinges allowing you to affix them to angled surfaces easily. This also make them easier to cut them into 3 x single spike strips suitable for the tops of thinner fences. You can either screw, nail or glue them into place.
If you are serious about keeping cats out of your garden you should definitely consider picking up some.
