Outdoor use. It does not rust and it does not corrode
Maintenance
None beyond clearing leaf litter out of the spikes
Material note
The live listings name the plastic three different ways on three different pages for what is one product. We publish what we can stand behind, which is that it is a moulded plastic strip that does not rust, and we have asked the supplier to confirm the polymer rather than guess at it.

About this product
We are not going to tell you this stops snakes.
It is a moulded anti-climb strip and it is sold here as one. There is no good evidence that spike strips exclude snakes, and a snake is not a problem to guess about.
This page sells our moulded plastic anti-climb strip. What it does not do is claim to be a snake barrier, because we have no evidence that it is one.
Snakes move differently from mammals and birds. They distribute their weight along a surface rather than standing on feet, which is precisely the thing a spike strip exploits.
A physical snake barrier is a fine mesh fence, buried at the base, angled outward and with no gaps. That is a different product and a different job.
If a snake in your garden is worrying you, keep your distance first. Thailand has dangerous venomous species as well as harmless ones, and catching or moving a snake is a job for a professional.
As an anti-climb strip for mammals it is a good product at ฿150 per 50 cm with no minimum, and that is what we are selling.
We are keeping this page because it is a live address on the old site and because the question behind it is real. What we are not doing is repeating the claim. The captured listing described this strip as providing complete protection against snakes and there is nothing to support that.
The mechanism argument is straightforward. A spike strip works by denying a foot somewhere to land. A snake does not land, it flows, spreading its weight along whatever it is crossing. A row of blunt plastic spikes is an uneven surface rather than a barrier.
Thailand has dangerous venomous snakes as well as harmless ones. If you have found one, keep your distance and call a professional snake catcher or your local rescue service rather than trying to move it. Habitat is the real lever: log piles, long grass against a wall, rubble and rodent activity are what makes a garden attractive.
Fitting is the same story as with any strip. Clean the surface, cover the whole run, and take it right into whatever it terminates against. A gap at one end is not a rounding error, it is the route.
Once it is up there is essentially nothing to do. It does not corrode, it does not need painting, and the only annual job is flicking leaf litter out of the spikes so nothing packs down into a platform.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Send any item back within 15 days of delivery, uncut, unused and in its original packaging, for an exchange or a full refund of the product price.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. We pay the return postage, and you can have a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
We make no such claim. A spike strip denies a foot somewhere to land, and a snake spreads its weight along a surface rather than standing on feet.
The listing used to say they gave complete protection.
It did, and we have not carried that across. There is no evidence for it and a snake is not a subject to guess about.
So why does the page still exist?
It is a live address on the old site and the question behind it is real. The useful thing to put here is a straight answer.
What does exclude a snake?
A fine mesh fence, buried at the base, angled outward at the top and with no gaps. That is a construction job rather than a strip you stick on.
What mesh size?
Small enough that the species in question cannot pass, which means identifying it first. There is no universal number.
Should I try to catch or kill it?
No. Some Thai snakes are dangerous, and most bites happen when people try to handle one. Keep your distance and call a professional snake catcher or your local rescue service.
I have found a snake in the garden. What now?
Keep your distance, keep children and pets away, and call a professional snake catcher or your local rescue service. Do not try to move it yourself.
Who can identify or remove it?
A professional snake catcher or your local rescue service. Do not get close to identify it yourself; a photograph from a safe distance is enough to describe it.
What actually reduces snakes in a garden?
Habitat. Move log piles and rubble away from the house, cut a clear margin where long grass meets a wall, and deal with rodents, which are the food.
Why does the compost heap attract them?
It is warm and it is full of prey. It is a classic spot for exactly those reasons.
Do ultrasonic devices repel snakes?
There is no good evidence that they do, and we would not sell you one for that.
Do the powders and granules work?
The evidence is weak at best. We do not stock them.
What is on this page then?
Our moulded plastic anti-climb strip: one piece, 500 mm, ฿150, no minimum. It is a good product for mammals.
Would the strip do anything at all against a snake?
It might make a smooth surface slightly awkward. That is not the same as a barrier and we will not sell it as one.
Is it dangerous to have snakes around?
It can be. Thailand has venomous species, so treat a snake near the house as potentially dangerous until a professional has identified it.
Should I block the gaps under my shed?
Reducing shelter near the house is sensible generally, as long as nothing is inside when you do it.
Do you sell snake mesh?
Not a purpose made one. Our finer galvanised mesh is intended for solar panels and we would not want it bought as a snake barrier on that basis.
What about my chickens?
A snake going after eggs or chicks is a coop construction question: fine mesh, buried, with no gaps. Same principles.
Does the strip work on rats?
It can deter them from a run. A rat problem is a proofing and hygiene job and a strip is a small part of it.
Can I fit it around a pond?
You can, but be clear about what you are expecting. Amphibians and small mammals use pond margins and a strip is not a species-selective thing.
What is the maintenance?
Flick debris out of the spikes once a year.
Do you always talk customers out of buying?
Only when the product will not do the job. It is cheaper for both of us than a refund.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Delivery is free on every order, anywhere in Thailand. Allow up to 7 working days for delivery after dispatch within 2 working days. A tracking number is emailed as soon as it ships.
Which payment methods do you take?
Card and PayPal. Both go through the checkout on this site and neither of us ever sees your card details.
Can I change my mind after ordering?
Yes. You can send it back within 15 days of delivery for an exchange or a full refund of the product price, as long as it is uncut, unused and in its original packaging.
What if the order arrives damaged or faulty?
Tell us and we will replace it or refund it. That is separate from changing your mind: a faulty or misdescribed item is always put right at no cost to you.
How do I track my parcel?
The tracking number is in your dispatch email, and there is a tracking page on this site. If the number has not moved for a few days, email us and we will chase it.
Do you sell to trade and in bulk?
Yes. There is a wholesale page on this site with a quote form on it. Tell us the run length or the quantity and we will price it.
Are the prices shown with tax included?
Yes. The price you see is the price you pay, in Thai baht, and it already includes 7% VAT. Delivery is free, so nothing is added at the checkout.
How do I get hold of a person?
Email theteam@birdspikes.asia, or call or message +66 92 713 8443, which also takes WhatsApp and LINE. We are an online supplier with no shop counter, which is a large part of why the prices are what they are.
The complete guide
Snakes, spike strips and what actually helps
4Bird Spikes Company
The claim we are not making
The listing this page was built from said this strip gives complete protection against
snakes. There is no evidence for that and we are not repeating it.
The reason is mechanical rather than a matter of degree. A spike strip works by denying a
foot somewhere to land: a pigeon cannot get its feet down, a cat cannot get comfortable
footing, so both go elsewhere. A snake has no feet. It spreads its weight along whatever it
is crossing, and a row of blunt plastic spikes is an uneven surface rather than a barrier.
What a real snake barrier looks like
If exclusion is genuinely needed, it is a fence, not a strip:
fine mesh, small enough that the species cannot pass
buried at the base so nothing goes under it
angled outward at the top so nothing goes over it
no gaps at all, including at gates and corners
That is a considered piece of construction and it is not what is on this page.
Start with identification
Thailand has many snake species, and some of them, such as cobras, kraits and vipers, are
genuinely dangerous. Do not try to catch, corner or kill a snake yourself. Keep children and
pets away, keep your distance, and call a professional snake catcher or your local rescue
service to remove it.
Most bites happen when people try to deal with a snake themselves, and it is rarely
necessary.
The lever that actually works
Habitat. Snakes are in a garden because there is cover and there is food:
log piles, rubble and stacked material are shelter. Move them away from the house.
long grass against a wall is a corridor. Cut a clear margin.
rodents are the food. Deal with those and the reason to visit goes.
compost heaps are warm and full of prey, which is why they are a classic spot.
None of that is a product we sell, and it is still the honest answer.
What we are selling
A good moulded anti-climb strip, ฿150 per 50 cm, no minimum, for mammals on beams, pipe runs
and fence tops. If that is useful to you, it is a well made thing. If you came here about a
snake, please read the two sections above first.
Tell us the bird, the surface and roughly how long the run is, and we will tell you what suits it before you buy. Delivery is free anywhere in Thailand.
Snake Spikes page at birdspikes.asia (Bird Spikes Company, Thailand). The product listed is
this site's moulded plastic anti-climb strip: a single piece moulded plastic spike strip with blunt alternating long and short spikes on a flat mounting foot, 500 mm long, THB 150 per 50 cm strip (was THB 200) with no minimum. The page states explicitly that
the store makes NO claim that a spike strip excludes or deters snakes, and that the captured
live listing's claim of complete protection against snakes is unsupported. The mechanism
reason is given: a spike strip denies a foot somewhere to land, and a snake distributes its
weight along a surface rather than standing on feet. A physical snake barrier is a fine buried
mesh fence, angled outward and gap free, which is a different product. Thailand has dangerous
venomous snakes, so the page advises keeping a distance and calling a professional snake
catcher or local rescue service rather than handling one; habitat management (log piles, long
grass against walls, rubble, rodent activity) is the effective lever. The strip is sold here as
an anti-climb deterrent for mammals. Delivery is free anywhere in Thailand and takes up to 7 working days in transit. Prices include 7% VAT.
