Aviaway - Bird Spikes Landing Deterrent
Depending upon how severe your bird problem is, what type of bird you are trying to deter, type of surface the bird spikes are going to be installed on and branding concerns, bird spikes may be the appropriate deterrent control for your bird problem. Bird spikes work by deterring birds from having an easy landing point on flat ledge surfaces. As a bird lands, it wings go from open to closed and as its feet hit the ledge the bird spike rods that slightly overhang the ledge surface interfere with the bird’s ability to close its wings and deters the birds from the treated areas.
What Bird Spikes Work Best?
Bird spikes come in various sizes and type of material. Typically, bird spikes come in narrow, wide and extra wide depending upon the surface area treating. In some cases, you may need to install multiple rows of bird spikes to deter the birds. Bird spike can be entirely stainless steel, entirely plastic or a combination of a plastic base and stainless rods. There are various pro and cons of the construction type depending upon the application specifics.
Bird spikes can be used on ledges, window sills, window air condition units, fences, railings, beams, roof lines, vent stacks, signs, pilings, lighting fixtures, under eaves or awnings, and other similar areas.
Bird spikes can be used to deter pigeons, sea gulls and crows. Note that if the bird is very large like a sea gull or turkey vulture, the birds’ weight can bend the spikes and prevent them from working.
