Why Pest Birds Hate Plastic Bird Spikes
Pest birds can present a costly, annoying problem, and figuring out how to get rid of them can be equally challenging. Unfortunately, there are all manner of homegrown bird control remedies out there—everything from ultrasonic devices to propane cannons. The former cannot be heard by birds, while the latter can shatter windows and ear drums. Neither is effective in the long run. Unless you use a proven bird deterrent that physically prevents roosting, you will continue to deal with persistent birds, their nests, and hazardous droppings.
Creating a No-Landing Zone
Bird spikes are among the most effective and humane bird deterrents available. They create an anti-perching, anti-roosting barrier that prevents birds—especially medium and large species like pigeons, gulls, and crows—from landing. Try as they might to negotiate a landing, birds cannot settle on the protected surface. After a few failed attempts, even stubborn birds move on to find another roosting site. Spiked strips provide continuous 24/7 protection, ensuring returning birds fail every time.
Humane and Approved Protection
Plastic bird spikes from Bird B Gone are specially engineered to deter birds without causing harm to wildlife, curious pets, or installers. The spike tips are blunted to prevent injury and are approved by humane organizations nationwide. Architects and government contractors routinely specify polycarbonate bird spikes for commercial, industrial, and municipal projects.
Where to Install Plastic Bird Spikes
Plastic bird spikes provide ideal protection for ledges, rooflines, parapet walls, eaves, I-beams, windowsills, commercial signs, light posts, awnings, and canopies—essentially anywhere pest birds gather. Bird B Gone plastic spikes are available in several colors, including crystal clear, brick red, light gray, brown, black, and tan, allowing them to blend seamlessly into any architectural background.
Selecting the Right Spike Size
Plastic bird spikes are manufactured in two-foot sections and three distinct widths—3-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch—to match the depth of the surface you need to protect. The base of each spiked section is only 1.5 inches wide, making it easy to install on narrow ledges, pipes, and sign rims. Sections are packaged in 6-foot, 20-foot, and 50-foot kits to accommodate projects of any scale.
Fast and Flexible Installation
Bird B Gone plastic bird spikes are designed for quick setup. Each strip features pre-drilled mounting holes and integrated glue troughs for secure installation using polyurethane adhesive, screws, or zip ties. The bendable polycarbonate base easily contours to rounded architectural elements, curved signage, and light poles. Made from unbreakable, UV-protected material, these spikes withstand long-term weather and sun exposure without degrading.
