How do spikes help to keep away birds


Posted November 9, 2020 by safespraypest

If installed correctly, bird spikes will prevent larger birds from being able to land anywhere on or around our business.
 
Bird spikes are narrow strips of spikes that can be attached to eaves, roofs, window sills, and anywhere else large birds land or congregate. Because they have glue tracks and screw holes, the spikes can safely be attached to almost any surface including wood or concrete.

At Safe Spray Pest Control, they offer plastic and stainless steel bird spikes. While both plastic and steel spikes work the same way, steel spikes offer a few unique benefits. Steel spikes also come with a longer guarantee and are able to withstand hot temperatures and direct sunlight. The strips of spikes come in 3-, 5-, and 7-inch lengths and can be attached end-to-end to cover any desired length.

Larger bird species such as gulls, pigeons, and crows all have large feet that are designed more for walking than for clutching. Due to the size of their feet, these birds need quite a bit of space to land and maneuver once they have landed. Birds spikes block and cover the areas the birds can land and walk around, effectively making it impossible for them to get anywhere near your business.

It's important to note that some smaller species of birds such as starlings and sparrows will not be permanently deterred if you use bird spikes alone. This is mostly true when the birds are nesting or mating. Tiny birds use their feet to clutch branches, cables, and other objects. Birds that are small enough can still clutch the edge of a building or even the spikes themselves if necessary. Further, many small birds will build a nest around the actual spikes, eventually covering them up. Luckily, bird spikes are humane, safe, and environmentally friendly. The spikes themselves are designed to make it difficult for birds to land without causing any actual harm or injury.

However, both stainless steel and plastic spikes are safe for the environment and will last up to 10 years or more before needing to be replaced.
