Defender Plastic Anti-Bird Spikes Pack | 30 m with Glue | Pigeon Control Guide | Various Size Packs

Product Information

Pigeons love pergolas and arbors. They offer a high-up, safe place to watch out for predators and identify food sources. The problem, in most cases, is that below them are beautiful patios, cars, pathways or seated areas which get covered in pigeon droppings. Another method is to use cable ties. Again make sure you have the correct length spike for the individual bar. Hold the strip in place above the bar and wrap the cable tie around the base and the bar. Feed the end through the fastener and pull tight until the spike base is held in place securely. One cable tie at each end should be sufficient. The ends of the cable tie can be cut short to neaten the appearance or left long.

Step 1 - Clean the Area: Before starting any installation of seagulls spikes, it is essential that the area is clean, dry and free from droppings and debris. It is important to look up; it may be that the source of the mess is actually from ledges or pipes higher up on the building. If this is the case you will need to spike these as well.

Most fences and pergola beams are between 2.5 cm – 5 cm in width, so position the spike in the centre. The 8 mm narrow plastic base is flexible along the length and this means it can be fitted along a curved surface, such as an ornate fence or trellis if required. It may need additional screws or cable ties to hold it in position on the curve.

Aerial clips can be attached to the base of the pigeon deterrent spike. They very simply snap onto the base. Whatever length of bird spike strip you need, 2 clips are generally all that is needed for each piece, one at either end. Ensure the clips are facing the same way, on the same side of the spike base and are in a straight line. These clips can then be used to attach spike strips to the various director elements or bars along the main length. Be extra careful not to overstretch the clips to fit over a particularly wide bar. This could eventually cause stress fractures to the clip. If the bars are particularly thin, you may need to add a little of the included silicone to the inside of the clip just to hold it in place and upright.Step 2 - Fixing: The Defender® Gutter Spike will fit all standard half-round or square plastic guttering or hoppers that do not have a lip or ornate design on the front edge. The gutter spike has 2 clips attached to the spike that just slip over the edge of the gutter and secure them in the correct position. The clips should just press into position no excessive force is required. A wide range of Bird Spikes for next day delivery.
