If you own or manage a warehouse, aircraft hangar, shipyard or other large building that's semi-exposed or open most of the day, you know that pest birds can be a problem. Among the biggest problem areas are girders and I-beams. Pest birds love to perch and roost on these lofty structures, raining down droppings and nesting debris on workers and/or customers below.

Larger birds like pigeons and seagulls create mounds of droppings that, left to gather, can eat into metal surfaces, removing paint and other protective coatings. This leaves girders and I-beams vulnerable to rust and erosion. To make matters worse, wet bird droppings can create dangerous slip-and-fall hazards for maintenance crews--whether walking on girders or I-beams or simply moving about on the floor below. Finally, the bacteria, fungal agents and parasites found in bird droppings and nests have been known to carry serious diseases, including encephalitis, salmonella and meningitis. This can pose an environmental hazard to maintenance crews and/or customers.

One of the most proven effective ways to keep pest birds off girders and I-beams is through the use of bird spikes. And the best bird spike available to deter them is Bird B Gone-s Girder Bird Spike.

Specially Designed for Girders and I-Beams

Bird B Gone Stainless Steel Girder Spikes are uniquely designed to prevent larger pest birds from landing, roosting and nesting on girders and I-beams. These anti-perching, anti-roosting spiked strips won't allow birds to land on or near them. Ideal for keeping bird pests from lofty, impossible to reach areas, they provide an effective measure of deterrence that extends from three to seven inches wide--choose 3", 5" or 8" splay width. After a few unsuccessful attempts, even the most stubborn pest bird will give up and move on. Girder Spikes create an effective bird deterrent in Light to Heavy Bird Pressure environments. (Heavy pressure--many birds nesting or roosting at the site; Light Pressure--only a few birds stopping during the day.)

The Safe and Humane Bird Deterrent

Like all bird spikes offered by Bird B Gone, Girder Spikes are blunted at the tips, so they won't harm pest birds, pets or people. They have been approved by a number of humane groups--including the U.S. Humane Society, as well as the GSA.

Designed to Perform, Built to Last

Bird-B-Gone Stainless Steel Girder Spikes are firmly embedded in an unbreakable UV-protected polycarbonate base. This specially fabricated base ensures that the spikes will last for years through harsh outdoor weather. The accompanying aluminum mounting clamps won't rust.

Bird-B-Gone Stainless Steel Girder Spikes have been specially designed for easy installation. The spiked strips come in two-foot long sections and 50 feet to a box. The spiked strips are designed to fit any girder up to 1 (2.54 cm) thick. There's no need to buy separate clips or hardware. The attached girder clamps make for easy Installation. Once installed, girder spikes are virtually invisible.
