Pestrol Prickly Devil Animal Repelling Spikes – 40cm

Flexible Animal Deterrent for Fences, Ledges & Problem Areas

Pestrol Prickly Devil Animal Repelling Spikes – 40cm provide a simple physical barrier to help discourage unwanted animals from climbing, crossing or settling on fences, walls, ledges and other surfaces around your property.

The strip features multiple raised plastic spikes of varying heights, creating an uncomfortable surface that animals are less likely to walk across, climb over or use as a resting point.

Unlike metal spikes, wire or improvised barriers, the Prickly Devil is manufactured from UV-stabilised polypropylene, providing a lightweight, rust-free solution suitable for long-term outdoor installation.

The flexible base can also be bent or cut to suit different surfaces, making the 40cm strip easy to adapt to individual problem areas.

What Animals Can Prickly Devil Help Deter?

Pestrol Prickly Devil Spikes can be used as a physical barrier to help discourage animals such as:

• Cats
• Possums
• Dogs
• Larger birds**
• Other animals attempting to climb or cross protected surfaces

Rather than attracting, trapping or poisoning the animal, the spikes simply make the protected surface difficult and uncomfortable to use.

Results will depend on the animal, installation position and whether alternative access routes remain available.

How Do Prickly Devil Spikes Work?

Prickly Devil uses a series of raised plastic spikes at varying heights to create an uneven and uncomfortable surface.

When installed across an animal’s usual climbing, crossing or resting point, the spikes reduce the amount of comfortable space available for paws or feet.

This can help discourage animals from:

• Walking along fence tops
• Climbing over walls
• Accessing roofs
• Resting on ledges
• Perching on suitable surfaces
• Using regular entry or exit routes

Because it is a physical barrier, there are no electronic components, batteries or chemical repellents to replace.

Where Can Pestrol Prickly Devil Be Used?

The flexible 40cm strip can be installed across many common problem areas, including:

• Fence tops
• Walls
• Roof edges
• Ledges
• Beams
• Windowsills
• Gates
• Tree trunks
• Posts
• Around selected garden areas
• Other surfaces regularly used by unwanted animals

Multiple 40cm strips can be installed together when a longer continuous barrier is required.

Flexible Design for Different Surfaces

One of the key advantages of Pestrol Prickly Devil is its flexible polypropylene construction.

Rather than being limited to perfectly straight surfaces, the strip can be bent to accommodate suitable curves, corners and irregular areas.

The strip can also be cut to the required length, allowing individual sections to be adapted to smaller spaces.

This makes it useful for installations where rigid animal or bird spikes may be difficult to position.

Suitable for Outdoor Conditions

Pestrol Prickly Devil is manufactured from UV-stabilised polypropylene.

The plastic construction means it will not rust like untreated metal barriers, while UV stabilisation helps the material withstand prolonged outdoor exposure.

This makes the spikes suitable for permanent or long-term installations around residential, rural and commercial properties.

How to Install Pestrol Prickly Devil

Before installation:

1. Identify the route or surface regularly being used by the animal.
2. Clean the installation surface and remove loose dirt or debris.
3. Position the strip so animals cannot simply walk around or beside the protected area.
4. Cut or bend the strip where required to suit the installation.
5. Secure the strip firmly using a fixing method appropriate for the surface.
6. Check that the entire problem area is adequately protected.
7. Inspect periodically to ensure the strips remain firmly secured.

For longer areas, position multiple strips together to create continuous coverage.

The best fixing method will depend on whether the product is being attached to timber, masonry, metal or another surface.

Tips for Better Results

Correct placement is important when using any physical animal barrier.

For best results:

• Identify the animal’s usual access route before installing.
• Cover enough of the surface to prevent the animal simply stepping around the spikes.
• Check for nearby alternative access points.
• Use multiple strips where necessary to create continuous coverage.
• Make sure each strip is securely attached.
• Periodically inspect outdoor installations.
• Combine physical barriers with good property and pest-management practices where required.

Persistent animals may look for another route when their normal access point is blocked, so check surrounding areas after installation.

Why Choose a Physical Animal Barrier?

Physical barriers can be particularly useful when animals repeatedly use the same route.

Unlike chemical repellents, Prickly Devil does not rely on a scent or active ingredient remaining present. Once correctly installed, the spikes provide a continuous physical obstacle across the protected surface.

There are also:

• No batteries to replace
• No electronic components
• No sprays to reapply
• No poison or bait
• No ongoing power requirements

This makes Prickly Devil a straightforward option for protecting specific problem areas.

Whether you’re trying to discourage a cat from walking along a fence, prevent possums from using a regular climbing route or stop larger birds settling on a suitable ledge, Pestrol Prickly Devil Animal Repelling Spikes – 40cm provide a versatile physical deterrent.

The flexible, cut-to-size design makes the strip easy to adapt to a wide variety of locations, while UV-stabilised polypropylene provides durable, rust-free performance outdoors.
