Looking after it
Clear leaves and nesting material out from between the pins once or twice a year. Once enough debris packs in, a bird can stand on that instead of on the spikes, which is the one way a fitted strip stops working.
About this product
A page named for an animal that does not live here.
Possums are an overseas animal and not a Philippine one. The strip is real and it works on climbing animals; the name is the one people search for.
The same 304 stainless strip, listed under a search term rather than under a local animal.
Possums are an overseas animal. They do not occur in the Philippines, and this page says so rather than implying a problem you do not have.
What the strip does do here is break a climbing route: a fence top, a beam, a service pipe or a wall capping that an animal is using as a path.
That covers cats on a boundary, rats along a pipe run and anything else that walks a line to get somewhere.
Sold per 50 cm with no minimum, and cable ties suit a round pipe better than adhesive does.
Worth saying plainly, because it decides what you order. Nine pages on this site sell the SAME stainless strip, named for the animal people type into a search box. There is no different spike behind the pigeon page or the seagull page. What changes from page to page is the advice, and that genuinely does change.
This page exists for two reasons and both are worth stating. Some visitors arrive from overseas searching for a product they know by name, and some arrive locally having read the term somewhere. Neither is served by pretending possums are a Philippine problem.
The useful reading is the one about routes. A climbing animal is not choosing a view, it is travelling. It uses the same beam, the same pipe, the same fence rail every night, and that repetition is what makes it easy to interrupt.
So find the route rather than the destination. Look for rub marks and droppings along a horizontal line. Treat the whole line, because a two metre gap is not an obstacle to something that is already walking.
On round pipes and rails, cable ties beat adhesive. On a fence top, screws. On a concrete beam, silicone on a clean dry surface. Nothing here is a trap and nothing here is designed to injure an animal that meets it.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. You have 15 days from delivery to return an unused item in its original packaging for an exchange or a refund. Refunds exclude the original delivery charge, and you pay the postage back unless the item was faulty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do possums live in the Philippines?
No. They are an overseas animal. This page is named for a search term, and the product is a general anti-climb strip.
So what will it work on here?
Anything that travels along a line: cats on a fence top, rats along a service pipe, climbing animals using a beam as a route.
Is it the same strip as your bird spikes?
Yes, the same 304 stainless strip. On this page it is fitted along a route rather than on a perch.
How do I find the route?
Look for a continuous line of rub marks or droppings on a horizontal surface. Animals repeat themselves, which is what makes this easy.
Do I have to cover the whole run?
Yes. A gap in the middle of a route is not an obstacle, it is a step.
How do I fit it to a round pipe?
Cable ties, spaced every 20 cm or so. Adhesive on a curved surface will let go.
Will it hurt the animal?
No. The wires are blunt. It makes a surface unpleasant to walk on and nothing more.
Is it a trap?
No, and we would not sell one. Nothing on this site is designed to catch or injure an animal.
Will it stop rats getting into the roof?
It can break the route along a pipe or a beam. The entry hole itself still needs closing with mesh.
Can I use it on a tree branch?
We would not. Fixing anything to living bark is bad for the tree, and pruning the branch back solves the same problem.
What about the plastic version?
There is one, on the possum spike strip page. Plastic costs less and needs no assembly; stainless is better outdoors and under load.
Will it work on cats?
On a fence top, yes, which is what the cat spikes page is about.
What are they made of?
304 stainless steel pins on a UV stabilised polycarbonate base. The pins do not rust and the base does not go chalky in the sun.
How are they sold?
Per 50 cm strip, with no minimum. Order one if one is all the ledge needs.
How many strips do I need?
Measure the run in centimetres, divide by 50 and round up. The half metre you leave bare at the end is exactly where they will stand.
Do I need two rows?
On anything wider than about 15 cm, yes. One row down the middle of a wide ledge leaves landing room on both sides of it.
What do I fix them with?
UV stabilised silicone adhesive on masonry and tile, screws or nails where there is something to bite into, cable ties on railings and pipes.
Do I have to prepare the surface?
Yes, and it is the step people skip. Scrape off the old droppings and moss, wash the surface, let it dry. Dirt under adhesive is why a strip lifts after one rainy season.
Can I cut them?
Yes. Trim the last strip so the run finishes flush and there is no gap at the end.
Will they fit a curved ledge?
Yes, in short lengths. Several 50 cm pieces follow a curve; one long piece forced round it will lift at the ends.
Do they hurt the animal?
No. The wires are blunt and closely spaced. The animal arrives, finds nowhere to put its feet, and goes somewhere else. That is the whole mechanism.
Are they safe around children and pets?
They are meant for surfaces out of reach. Fit them where nobody puts a hand: above head height, along a parapet, on top of a fence rail.
Will they rust in the rain?
No. 304 stainless is the reason this version costs more than the plastic one, and in a coastal or monsoon climate it is the version worth buying.
How long do they last?
They are made for permanent outdoor use. We do not publish a figure in years, because the honest answer depends on the site.
Are they visible from the ground?
The base is clear and about 5 mm high, and the wires are thin. From street level most people never notice them.
Do you install them?
No, we supply only. Anything at height should be a job for someone equipped to work there safely.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is Philippines wide. It is free on orders over ₱1,900 and ₱650 below that, and orders leave after a 24 to 48 hour handling time, arriving in about 5 to 7 days.
Can I return it if I ordered the wrong amount?
You have 15 days from delivery to send an unused item back in its original packaging for an exchange or a refund, and 30 days to tell us if something arrived faulty or was not what you ordered. Cancelling a paid order before it ships carries a 12.5 per cent processing fee. None of that affects your rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
Do you deliver outside Metro Manila?
Yes. We deliver across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, and the free threshold and the flat rate are the same wherever you are.
Can I buy in bulk for a building or a site?
Yes. Ask for a quote on the wholesale page and tell us the total run in metres, the surface, and whether access needs scaffolding or a lift.
