Product Information

Full details

The B&Q Humane Cat Deterrent Spike Mats are ideal for homeowners and gardeners seeking a non-toxic, ethical way to protect flower beds, vegetable patches, or furniture from pets and wildlife. By utilizing gentle pricking sensations rather than sharp blades, these mats effectively deter cats, dogs, and birds from scratching or digging in unwanted areas without causing them physical injury. While highly effective at modifying animal behavior in designated zones, users should note that they are not a permanent architectural barrier and must be placed strategically to ensure full coverage of the desired area.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will these mats injure my cat?

No, the spikes are designed to be humane and provide a mild pricking sensation that encourages the animal to move away without causing physical harm.

Can I trim the mats to fit smaller spaces?

Yes, the plastic construction allows you to cut the mats with heavy-duty scissors or shears to fit specific shapes or gaps.

Are these safe to use on delicate garden plants?

Yes, they can be placed around the base of plants to protect them from being dug up.

Do I need to secure them to my sofa?

While they are usually heavy enough to stay in place, you can use light adhesive or tucked covers if they slip on smooth surfaces.

How many mats are in a pack?

Each pack contains 8 individual mats measuring 33x42cm.

Can they be used in direct sunlight?

Yes, the materials are designed to be durable and weather-resistant for outdoor exposure.

Troubleshooting

Mats shifting in outdoor wind

Use metal garden staples or U-shaped wire pegs to anchor the corners of the mats into the ground.

Animals bypassing the mats

Ensure that the mats cover the entire perimeter of the protected area; animals will look for the path of least resistance if there is a gap.

Accumulation of dirt in the spikes

Regularly rinse the mats with a garden hose to maintain the effectiveness of the pricking sensation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires no specialized tools. Simply lay the mats flat on the target surface. If using outdoors on loose soil, you may want to use garden pins to secure the edges to prevent them from shifting. For indoor use, the mats can be placed directly on furniture or under lightweight covers. To clean, rinse with water or use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. When not in use, the mats can be stacked for easy, space-saving storage.
