Anti-Mouse Spikes: Physical Barriers for Eco-Conscious Prevention

Anti-mouse spikes represent a non-invasive defense against rodent intrusion. These metal or plastic strips feature sharp protrusions that deter climbing without causing harm. Installation on ledges, fences, or pipes creates an impenetrable barrier for mice and rats.

A 2023 UK study demonstrated 92% effectiveness in preventing roof rat access when spikes were combined with stainless steel mesh. Unlike chemical repellents, spikes require no maintenance and have a lifespan exceeding 10 years.

For historic buildings or food processing plants, spikes offer compliance with strict hygiene regulations. Innovations like UV-resistant coatings now prevent material degradation in outdoor applications.
