Benefits of bird spikes
Bird spikes are very effective roosting deterrents for birds. They consist of narrow plates with protruding stainless-steel spikes. Bird spikes do not hurt birds, as the spikes themselves are not sharp. Their function is simply to make surfaces impossible for birds to roost on.
Humane
Bird spikes don’t harm birds; they deter the birds. When birds such as pigeons or gulls see the spikes on any surface they will avoid landing on it because they know it will be difficult to rest there.

Alternative to bird spikes
The best alternative to bird spike is something called ‘fire gel’. Fire gel is a non-toxic substance that creates an optical illusion which makes the birds think that the structure is on fire.
Fire gel is more effective in deterring birds than bird spikes because it works on all sizes of birds, whereas bird spikes are designed for birds of a particular size range. So, bird spikes for pigeons may not deter much smaller birds that can maneuverer between the spikes. The huge advantage of fire gel is that it doesn’t look unsightly. Often when a building is covered in spikes it loses some of its elegance. Fire gel is fixed along a surface in low-profile dishes making it impossible to see, unless looking at the wall from above.
Fire gel lasts at least 3 years, but normally much longer. If you don’t want the building to lose its aesthetic charm, then fire gel might be the best option. Get in touch with us to discuss.
Integrated bird pest control
Biological controls
Biological control is the use of the pests’ natural enemies to eliminate them in a human-safe way. In the case of pest birds, hawks are natural predators and are highly effective in persuading smaller birds, such as gulls and pigeons, to find somewhere else to live or feed. Similarly, fire gel is an effective way to prevent roosting as birds perceive it as flames.
