Benefits of bird spikes

Bird spikes are a very effective roosting deterrent for birds. They consist of a narrow plate 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.

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.

Fast & durable

The spikes come in 1-meter strips and can be affixed to virtually any surface in minutes with either screws or adhesive. Bird spikes can last up to 15 years, making them a fast, robust and long-term solution to bird problems.

Highly effective

Bird spikes are a highly effective bird deterrent. They have long been hailed as the best method of bird proofing in the industry. The popularity of bird spikes is due to their great effectiveness.

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 bird, 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

The most effective, long-term way to manage birds is by using a combination of different methods that work together to ensure the pests do not return. Below are the three primary tactical approaches that could be deployed depending on the situation.

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 a natural predator, 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 it is perceived by birds as flames.

Cultural controls

Cultural control is about understanding what operational procedures are contributing to the pests’ ability to thrive, and making some modifications. Once we know how the pest gains access to food and water on the site, we may be able to recommend better codes of practices to limit these.

Physical controls

Mechanical or physical controls can block pests from entering, or make the environment uninhabitable for them. Examples of physical controls for birds include spikes that make bird roosting impossible, eliminating entry points into buildings, bird netting, using acoustic or visual scaring technologies.
