Fits in minutes
Strips go on with adhesive, screws, nails or cable ties, on a flat run or around a curve. Most jobs need a tube of sealant and a pair of tin snips.
Take away the ledge, and the pest goes with it.
Pest Spike Company sells bird spikes, netting and humane 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, and the birds move on somewhere else.

Bird Control Spikes
Humane bird control you can fit yourself
Two spike strips, netting, gel, reflective tape, hanging discs and a decoy. 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.
Made to stay outside
Stainless steel resists corrosion, including near the coast. The polycarbonate strips are UV stabilised and close to invisible from the ground.
The mess never arrives
No roosting spot means no droppings to scrub, no nests blocking a gutter and no repeat cleaning bill. You are removing the perch, not treating the mess.
Humane, not lethal
A spike strip is a barrier, not a trap. Birds try the surface, find nowhere to settle and go elsewhere. They are blunt enough that pets and possums are not hurt either.
The right product for the bird
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.

A closer look
Where people fit them
Anywhere a bird can get a foothold and settle.
Ledges, sills and parapets
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.
Rooftops, ridges and chimneys
Gulls and pigeons use a roof edge as a lookout. Spikes along the ridge or the parapet take the standing room away.
Gutters and downpipes
A nest in a gutter is a blockage waiting to happen. Gutter spikes stop it being built in the first place.
Fences, walls and posts
Fence spikes stop birds lining up along the top rail, and the same strips deter cats and possums from using it as a walkway.
Signs, awnings and lighting
Shop signage, banners, security lights, masts and aerials. Anywhere droppings land on something customers look at.
Beams, HVAC and open ground
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.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Bird repellent spikes help prevent roof corrosion, blocked gutters, and tile damage caused by bird nests and droppings. They offer a proactive way to extend your roof’s lifespan .
Yes, many bird pigeon spikes are designed to be almost invisible from a distance. Transparent plastic or thin steel spikes blend into surroundings, offering subtle protection without being an eyesore.

Buying guide
Choosing a bird deterrent that actually works
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.
What bird spikes are
A bird spike is a narrow strip with blunt pins standing up from it. You fix the strip along a surface where birds land, and there is no longer enough flat space for one to settle. Strips come with a glue channel and screw holes, so they go onto brick, render, timber, metal or plastic. They are sold in short lengths and joined end to end, so you can treat a run of any size.
Do they work
On the birds they are meant for, yes. Pigeons, gulls and crows have large feet and need room to land and turn around. Take that room away and they stop trying.
Small birds are a different story, and it is worth saying so before you buy. A sparrow can sometimes settle between the pins, and a very small bird may even perch on them. If sparrows or starlings are the problem, netting closes the space properly and a spike does not.
Steel or plastic
Stainless steel is the stronger of the two. It resists corrosion outdoors, holds its shape and is the usual choice on a commercial building or anywhere near the coast.
UV stabilised polycarbonate is lighter, costs less and is close to invisible from the ground, which matters on a period property or a shopfront where you would rather not see the fix. Both do the same job. Pick on budget and on how visible the run will be.
Work out what you need
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.
Fitting
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.
Before you fit anything, check for a nest
Most wild birds are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and that protection covers the nest and the eggs as well as the bird. Introduced species such as the house sparrow, the starling, the common myna and the feral pigeon are not protected. So treat the surface before the nesting season starts, or wait until the nest is finished with. If there is an active nest on the surface today, that is the one thing to sort out before you order.
When a spike is not the answer
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: gel, reflective tape and hanging discs 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.
Ask before you order
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.

In summary
Page summary
Pest Spike Company (pestspike.com) is an online bird control shop from Caruso Consulting Co Ltd, delivering across the United States. The catalogue is built on TWO physical strips, each sold per 20 inch length: a 304 stainless steel strip on a clear polycarbonate base at $29, and a hard moulded plastic strip at $28. Twenty product pages sell those two strips under the pest people search for, which the pages say plainly rather than implying twenty different products. Alongside them it sells knitted bird netting in two roll sizes, reflective scare tape in three pack sizes, 21 inch reflective hanging discs, a clear bird repellent gel in two pack sizes and a fake owl decoy. Spikes work by removing the flat landing space a larger bird needs, so pigeons, gulls and crows settle elsewhere; they are a physical barrier and are not lethal. They are less suited to small birds such as sparrows, which can settle between the pins, and netting is the better answer there. Strips fix with adhesive, screws, nails or cable ties, are cut to length with tin snips, and should be checked once or twice a year so debris does not build up between the pins. Most wild birds are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and that protection covers the nest and the eggs as well as the bird. It is an online only shop with no showroom and no installation service. Delivery is United States wide, free on orders over $75 and otherwise $22, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.
