Stop nuisance pigeons from landing with pigeon spikes
Nuisance pigeons continue to present a costly problem to property owners worldwide. They deface and damage buildings and structures to the tune of millions of dollars every year. Maintenance costs climb annually as cleanup and repair crews try to keep pace with the droppings, nests and other debris. Sidewalks, entryways, windows and doors are often covered with unsightly pigeon droppings that must be cleaned on a weekly and sometimes daily basis.
Nuisance pigeon droppings eat into metal, wood, plastic, vinyl and stone surfaces. Left to gather, these droppings can cause expensive damage to rooftop AC units, ventilators, skylights, solar panels and water drainage systems. The droppings are often hard to remove and may require maintenance crews to wear PPE (proper protective equipment).
Ladders, scaffolds and fire escapes coated in nuisance pigeon droppings can make them dangerously slippery and unsafe. Even walkways and entryways can dangerously slippery when pigeon droppings are wet or become damp. Pest pigeons nesting in electrical signage or near other electrical wiring has led to fires.
Say Good-bye to Nuisance Pigeons with Pigeon Spikes
The best way to get rid of these “rats with wings” is with professional-level bird control deterrents. Chief among these is the world-renowned pigeon spike. Bird B Gone Stainless Steel Bird Spikes are specifically designed to permanently keep nuisance pigeons off building rooftops, parapet walls, light fixtures and other flat or curved surfaces. They are the #1 specified pigeon spike by architects, contractors, and government agencies. The spiked strips come in 1-, 3-, 5- and 8-inch splay widths to provide increasingly wider areas of protection—up to 10 inches wide. These rugged spiked strips feature a patented “bend-and-crush” design, which keeps the spikes firmly embedded in an unbreakable UV-protected polycarbonate base. This flexible base bends a full 360 degrees, so it can easily “follow” a variety of curved mounting surfaces.

Non-conductive, the plastic spikes will not interfere with electrical or communications and transmissions . The spikes carry an industry leading 5-year guarantee.
