Create a Safe Environment with Anti Pigeon Strips

Posted on June 10, 2014 by Kathy Fritsch in Bird Spikes

Anti pigeon strips stop pest birds from perching on your property without injuring them. Pigeons are notorious scavengers, and if your commercial or residential property attracts them, bird spikes are ideal to install on rooftops, company signage, light posts, air conditioning units, and any other flat or curved surface. Implementing a preventive bird control plan is essential—pigeons naturally return to familiar nesting and roosting sites year after year.

Health Risks and Damage Caused by Pigeon Droppings

Installing anti pigeon strips prevents birds from foraging and roosting around your facilities, eliminating hazardous, messy, and corrosive bird droppings. Fecal matter from pigeons, starlings, sparrows, and geese can harbor over 60 different transmissible diseases. When pigeon droppings dry, they crumble into dust that carries harmful fungal spores and bacteria that can enter human mucous membranes via inhalation.

Property maintenance crews cleaning up dried bird waste must wear protective personal equipment (PPE) to avoid infection and respiratory hazards. Prompt cleanup of fresh droppings is equally critical to prevent dangerous slip-and-fall accidents on walkways. Once an area is cleaned and sanitized, applying anti pigeon strips ensures birds cannot return to contaminate the site again.

Discreet and Effective Physical Barriers

Anti pigeon strips made from unbreakable polycarbonate provide a low-profile, long-lasting bird barrier. Available in crystal clear and other architectural colors, plastic bird spikes blend into building structures so customers and visitors rarely notice them. Spikes do not trap or harm birds; they simply eliminate flat landing areas, forcing pigeons and other medium-to-large birds to fly away and roost elsewhere.

Installation Versatility and Technical Specs

Anti pigeon strips install easily on ledges, parapet walls, eaves, I-beams, windowsills, awnings, and curved canopies. They feature a flexible, UV-stabilized base with pre-drilled holes and glue troughs, allowing them to be secured using commercial polyurethane adhesive, screws, or zip ties. Polycarbonate spikes come in 2-foot lengths and 3-, 5-, and 7-inch widths to match the depth of the surface being protected. Because polycarbonate is non-conductive, plastic spikes will not interfere with electrical wiring, security systems, or communication equipment.

Integrated Bird Control Strategies

Protecting your property from pest birds works best with a multi-layered approach. Polycarbonate bird spikes can easily be paired with visual deterrents like predator eye diverters or wind-powered units to deter birds before they attempt to land.
