Plan a secure fit
Measure the mounting length and width, check the supplied instructions and choose compatible fixings. Adhesive, tools and installation are not included unless listed.
Pest Spike Company sells bird spikes, netting and visual deterrents for homes and businesses across the United States. Fit them yourself on a ledge, a sill, a rooftop, a fence or a shop sign, after checking the product instructions and suitability for the site.
Complete spike packs, two netting options, reflective tape, round discs and a two-owl decoy pack. Both gel packs are on hold. Was figures are calculated comparison prices, 20% above the current price. Tell us the pest and the surface and we will tell you which of them suits it, including when the answer is the cheaper one.
Also known as bird pigeon spikes and bird repellent spikes.
Measure the mounting length and width, check the supplied instructions and choose compatible fixings. Adhesive, tools and installation are not included unless listed.
Choose Bird-X stainless steel pins on a clear polycarbonate base, or KraAra Brown pointed plastic strips. These have different profiles and complete-pack contents.
A physical obstacle can discourage perching on a suitable surface. Measure the whole area and inspect it regularly; no product guarantees a bird-free site or eliminates every cleaning need.
Both current spike offers have pointed parts. Neither is a verified pet or child safety barrier or an injury-proof product. Suitability for every mammal and small bird is not established.
Spikes suit pigeons, gulls and crows. Small birds such as sparrows can settle between the pins, so for those we point you at netting instead of selling you the wrong thing.
Where a figure is not published, our page says so instead of guessing at one. Ask us and we will go and find out.

Complete Bird-X 10 ft stainless steel kits and KraAra Brown 12-strip / 12 ft plastic packs. Check profile, surface and suitability before ordering.
The same two complete spike packs appear under common pest search terms. Suitability is not established for every bird or mammal.
Parapets, window sills, air conditioning units, signage and beams.
Pointed Brown plastic spike packs. These are not the former blunt strips or a verified pet-safety barrier.
Fence rails, deck rails, feeder poles and the branch that reaches the roof.
Fence tops, garage roofs and the run up to a soffit.
Deck rails, planter edges and the foundation ledges they burrow under.
Reflective discs and scare tape, for open places with no ledge to fix to.
White nylon and Green polyethylene netting in two distinct sizes, plus a complete two-owl decoy pack. Both gel packs are on hold.
Anywhere a bird can get a foothold and settle.
The classic pigeon perch. A window sill or a flat ledge above a shopfront is the first place to treat, and usually the one causing the mess below it.
Gulls and pigeons use a roof edge as a lookout. Spikes along the ridge or the parapet take the standing room away.
A nest in a gutter is a blockage waiting to happen. Gutter spikes stop it being built in the first place.
Fence spikes stop birds lining up along the top rail, and the same strips deter cats and possums from using it as a walkway.
Shop signage, banners, security lights, masts and aerials. Anywhere droppings land on something customers look at.
Open beams and plant on a flat roof attract roosting. Where there is no ledge to fix to at all, hanging discs and reflective tape are the tools that reach it.
We sell bird control for a living, so this is the short version of what we have learned: what each product is good at, where it is the wrong choice, and how to fit it so it is still doing its job in a few years.
The current offers are a Bird-X kit of ten 1-foot stainless steel spike strips, totaling 10 feet, and a KraAra Brown plastic pack of 12 strips with supplier-stated 12-foot coverage. The pointed profiles create physical obstacles. Check the mounting surface, full width and included instructions before selecting fixings.
Results depend on the species, surface, full coverage and installation. A spike kit is intended to discourage perching; it does not guarantee exclusion from a whole property.
Small birds may still settle between spike points. If considering netting, check the exact mesh and species: neither available net excludes every small bird or insect, and loose material can entangle wildlife.
The Bird-X offer has stainless steel pins on a clear polycarbonate base and is sold as a complete 10-foot kit. No specific steel grade or transferable manufacturer warranty is promised on this listing.
The KraAra offer is a Brown pointed plastic pack, totaling 12 feet. It is not the old blunt knuckle strip. Compare profile, color, mounting fit and the current product limitations rather than assuming identical safety or performance.
Measure the whole run you want to protect, then divide by the strip length and round up. It is better to have a spare strip than a bare half metre at the end, because birds will find the gap and use it. On a wide ledge you may need two rows side by side, since a single row down the middle leaves landing space in front of and behind it.
Clean the surface first. Old droppings, moss and loose paint stop adhesive gripping, and that is the most common reason a strip lifts a year later. Use a good exterior sealant on a smooth surface, and screws where there is anything to screw into. On a curve, work in short lengths rather than forcing one long strip.
Check them once or twice a year. Leaves, twigs and rubbish can build up between the pins, and once there is enough debris a bird can stand on that instead.
Do not disturb an occupied nest or trap wildlife. If the site is occupied or the applicable local requirements are uncertain, ask a qualified local wildlife professional before ordering or installing a deterrent.
If the birds are being fed nearby, they will keep coming back to the area even once a ledge is protected. A feeder that larger birds can reach is worth moving or changing first, otherwise you are treating one surface at a time while the reason they are there stays put.
Where a spike will not suit the surface, there are other options: reflective tape, hanging discs and owl decoys for places you cannot fix a strip to, and netting for a tree, a bed or a run, where the thing being protected is a volume rather than a ledge.
If you are not sure which product suits your bird or your surface, ask. It is a short email and a great deal easier than sending something back. You can reach us at theteam@pestspike.com.
