Bird spikes are arrays of stainless steel or plastic barbs that prevent birds from being able to land. They are available in two basic versions:
Poycarbonate base: stainless steel wire fixed into weather-resistant plastic.
Metal base:: the wire is welded or plugged to a stainless steel plate.
The nearly endless variety of shapes, lengths, and materials means that spike arrays can be custom-designed for any and all applications.
Important features of bird spikes
Bird spikes are one of the most time-tested and versatile methods of bird control, demonstrated in both scientific tests and decades of practical use.
Bird spikes are either glued, nailed or bolted to the surface to be protected, depending on the application. Each of these provides a strong and lasting hold. Gluing, in particular, avoids any alteration to the underlying structure.
As the strips are available in a variety of lengths, widths, and materials, spike configurations can be designed for any request.
Bird spikes are effective detterents for all sizes of bird populations.
