Please note that we will supply a product that is identical to the images shown on ebay. Many sellers don’t send you the product shown on ebay, and the product you will receive may have blunt/rounded spikes that are not as effective, especially against cats
The Cactus Wall Spikes are by far the best available in price, looks, design, function and colour availability.
MADE IN HARTLEPOOL, UNITED KINGDOM, NOT CHEAP IMPORT
All packs come with professional warning signs which are text and pictorial. The warning sign is printed on 0.70mm plastic and are 81mm * 57mm in size (ONE SIGN PER 10 STRIPS)
Competitor products issue a laminated piece of paper for a sign, which does not satisfy current legislation, as not weather proof
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
