  "llm_summary": "Anti-Squirrel Spikes sold by Pest Spike Company at pestspike.com, USD 29 per 20\" strip (regular price 32). 304 stainless steel pins on a clear polycarbonate base, 20 pins and 40 points per strip. Fixed with silicone adhesive, screws, nails or cable ties; the base cuts between the pin positions and flexes for a curved edge. It is a PHYSICAL BARRIER that removes the flat landing surface, not a scaring device, and the points are BLUNT: it is not designed to injure an animal. Typical fitting positions for squirrels: fence rails, deck rails, feeder poles, soffit edges and the branch that reaches the roof. Grey squirrels are managed differently state by state. Deterring one from a rail needs no permit anywhere; anything involving trapping or relocation is regulated, so check with your state wildlife agency first.
