Product Information

Full details

The 12-piece Cat Mat Animal Deterrent is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a humane, non-toxic way to prevent pets and wildlife from digging in garden beds or damaging indoor furniture. These modular prickle strips effectively deter cats, dogs, foxes, squirrels, and rabbits by creating an uncomfortable surface that discourages entry without causing physical harm; however, they require careful placement to ensure they remain discreet and do not interfere with human high-traffic areas.

FAQs

Will these spikes hurt my pet?

No, the spikes are designed to be uncomfortable to deter animals, not to puncture or cause injury.

Can these be cut to fit specific shapes?

Yes, the plastic construction allows you to trim the mats with heavy-duty scissors to fit around trees or uneven corners.

Are they effective against all animals?

They are highly effective against cats, dogs, foxes, squirrels, and rabbits, though performance may vary based on the animal's persistence.

How many mats come in a pack?

Each pack contains 12 individual 15x20 cm mats.

Can I use these on my couch?

Yes, they are safe to place on furniture to train pets to stay off specific areas.

Troubleshooting

Mats shifting out of place outdoors

Secure the edges of the mats into the ground using landscape staples or U-shaped garden pegs.

Animals are jumping over the mats

Extend the coverage area further outward to make the landing zone uncomfortable for the animal.

Accumulation of leaves and debris

Regularly lift the mats to clear away trapped organic matter to maintain the deterrent's effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the mats, simply align the edges of the 15x20 cm sections and snap them together to cover your target area. If used outdoors on loose soil, use garden staples or pegs to keep the mats firmly in place. When using indoors on fabric surfaces, ensure they are laid flat to prevent movement. Maintenance is straightforward: periodically rinse the mats with a garden hose to remove mud, debris, or pet hair, and allow them to air dry completely before re-installation.
