We also have a spike for small birds - stopping small garden birds like sparrows and starlings but also the larger birds like pigeons and seagulls too.

Step 1 - Clean the Area: Before starting any installation of seagulls spikes, it is essential that the area is clean, dry and free from droppings and debris. It is important to look up; it may be that the source of the mess is actually from ledges or pipes higher up on the building. If this is the case you will need to spike these as well. If this is not done, then droppings, twigs etc. may fall onto the seagull spikes below rendering them less effective. One of the prime spots pigeons, seagulls, or small birds will perch on is ledges and windowsills. The windowsill width varies from home to home; unfortunately, one size does not fit all. Firstly, establish the bird or birds causing the problem and then measure the width or length of the sill. Once you have this information, you can choose from the options below. The choices for window sills can be overwhelming; call us on 01626 835055 if you need help deciding which system suits your bird problem.
