FAQs
Can these spikes be used on windowsills?
Yes, they are designed to fit on window sills and ledges to prevent unauthorized access.
Are these strips weather-resistant?
Yes, they are made from high-strength ABS plastic designed to withstand standard outdoor elements.
Do I need special tools to cut them?
Standard tools like a hacksaw or heavy-duty snips are sufficient to cut the plastic strips to your desired size.
Will these harm cats or birds?
They act as a deterrent by making the surface uncomfortable to land on or touch, but they are designed to be non-lethal.
How many strips are included in the package?
The pack contains 10 individual security spike strips.
Troubleshooting
Spikes are not sitting flat against the fence.
Ensure the surface is level and remove any protruding debris or uneven wood chips before tightening the screws.
The plastic feels brittle during cold weather installation.
Avoid bending or forcing the strips in freezing temperatures, as ABS plastic is more prone to cracking when cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves securing the strips using screws or nails through the pre-drilled holes into your chosen surface. Ensure the surface is level and clean before mounting. For masonry walls, you may need appropriate wall plugs to ensure a firm hold. While the strips are weather-resistant, occasional cleaning with a soft brush to remove debris or spider webs is recommended to keep the spikes clearly visible and effective. If you need to cover a shorter gap, use a fine-toothed saw or heavy-duty snips to trim the ABS plastic to the required length.
