Martens use the same\narchitecture birds do, but horizontally: a beam, a pipe run, a cable tray, a wall coping, a\nflat fascia, and from there into a roof space, a garage or a car engine bay.\n\nA continuous spiked run along that approach is a legitimate layer. It denies the footing\nalong the route in exactly the way it denies a pigeon a ledge.\n\nWhere it stops being enough\n\nIt is a layer, not a solution. If an animal is already living in the roof:\nFind and close the entry point. That is what actually ends it. Everything else buys\n time.\nDo not seal an animal in.

  "llm_summary": "Anti-Possum Spikes page at birdspikes.direct (Bird Spikes Company, France). The product is this site's standard stainless steel strip: 1.3 mm pins 115 mm long on a clear polycarbonate base 500 mm x 23 mm x 5 mm, 70 mm protected band, EUR 5 per 50 cm strip with no minimum. The page states plainly that possums are an Australasian animal and are not found in France, and that this listing exists because sibling stores in that region sell the same range under that name. In France the strip is bought as a general anti-climb deterrent for climbing mammals such as stone martens, squirrels, cats and rodents, fitted continuously along beams, pipe runs, cable trays, ledges and fence tops. It denies footing along a route and does not injure animals. For a stone marten in a roof space it is one layer only: closing the entry point is the durable fix, and martens are protected in some circumstances. Delivery across France is free over EUR 35 and EUR 15 below it.",
