When an animal tries to jump up the fence, its paws land on the paddle, which spins, preventing the intruder gaining traction and causing them to fall to the ground. Extendable: These anti cat spikes or cat deterrent for garden prickle strips can be extended in all directions by using the connector clips on all sides.
Furthermore, geese are can be more difficult to manage than either alpaca or dogs, sometimes being relentlessly aggressive towards people as well as predators, and foxes have been known to kill both wild and domestic varieties. Suffice to say I tackled the back fence first placing a single continuous strip my side of the fence at finger grabbing height so that it wasn't seen from the public path the other side.
Combining prickle/brickle/Oscillot strips with chemical repellents applied to any entrance and exit holes in the garden, as well as to ‘take-off’ or ‘landing’ sites, probably provides the best opportunity to prevent foxes getting in.
Application to entrance/exit points, areas of disturbance such as digging, and to faeces can be successful in deterring the fox. Their deployment removes the requirement to use poison (illegal in the UK but widely employed in the US and Australia) or exercise similarly expensive and continual fox shooting programmes.
The need for an overhang can be eliminated and the security of the run increased by covering the top with mesh, thereby completely enclosing the residents. An alternative is to bury the wire at a 45-degree angle, rather than at the 90-degree angle shown above, or pave around the perimeter with the mesh running under the slabs. Fitting anti-cat (Prikla Strips) to the tops of your walls or fences is the humane way to deter unwanted animals from climbing into your garden. Domestic geese breeds have also been used as guardian animals, although I’m not aware of any formal studies on their effectiveness. The cat repeller spikes or "Prikka Strip" as its sometimes known, are designed to cause maximum discomfort but are unlikely to cause injury.
I have seen photos of foxes sniffing detectors trying to work out what they are and here a fox has scent-marked this working repellent. I am aware of other examples where badgers, stoats, weasels and even rats have caused similar damage having gained access to a coop, and I know of at least two instances where a pet cat was attacked by a dog that had gotten into the residents’ garden in the early hours. After a few days it became evident that the squirrels and cats simply straddled the strips so I bought another pack to completely cover the top of the wall. The basic premise of such experiments is that a fox eats the carcass of, say, a gamebird that has been laced with an emetic (vomit-inducing chemical) and is then sick. Each product has unique features and is more or less effective at what they do, so I recommend thoroughly investigating each product and what they offer.Hence rescue centres always aim to release rehabilitated foxes as close to their capture site as possible as soon as possible. Several general Acts, including the Protection of Animals Act of 1911 and The Wild Mammal (Protection) Act of 1996, make it illegal to cause ‘unnecessary suffering’ to an animal. e. just shifts their habitat use), which is important because if they stay in the territory they prevent new animals from moving in.
