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.

Humane bird control you can fit yourself
Spike strips, netting, gels, tapes and sonic units. Tell us the bird and the surface, and we will tell you which of them actually suits it.
Made to stay outside
Stainless steel resists corrosion, including near the coast. Both strip bases are UV stabilised, and the stainless one sits low enough to be hard to pick out 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 squirrels 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.

Meet the team
Say hello to Fifi, our head of bird surveillance
Every bird control company needs someone watching the skies. We gave the job to Fifi, our French Bulldog. She takes it seriously for around four minutes a day. The other 16 hours she spends asleep at her post, which she insists is a stealth tactic.
Here is her record so far: birds spotted, thousands. Birds caught, zero. Which is exactly how we like it. Around here even the security team is strictly no-harm. The spikes do the work, and Fifi takes the credit between naps.

Frequently asked questions
Bird spikes in two materials, bird netting and a fine steel mesh kit, and non contact deterrents: repellent gel, reflective tape, hanging discs, a decoy owl and two solar powered units.
They remove the flat footing a bird needs to land on. The bird cannot get its feet down and goes elsewhere. Nothing is repelled, scared or hurt.
No. The pins are blunt-ended wire and a bird that tries to land simply lifts off again. It is a barrier, not a trap.
Pigeons, gulls, crows and birds of a similar size. Our strip protects a band about 70 mm wide, which is geometry built around a pigeon.
No, and we would rather say so. A house sparrow settles between pins spaced for a pigeon. Netting is the right product for small birds and our sparrow page explains why.
The stainless is €5 per 50 cm, thin and close to invisible from the ground, and the pins fit into the base. The moulded plastic is €7, one piece with nothing to assemble, and deliberately visible.
Stainless for a building frontage or anything you would rather not see. Plastic for a long fence run, or where you want the deterrent to be obvious.
No. They deter the same things. The choice is convenience and visibility, and we are not going to invent a performance difference.
No. It is a moulded strip and it is meant to be seen. If you want something that disappears at a few metres, buy the stainless.
It is stainless steel, which resists corrosion including on coastal sites. That is the claim we make and we do not make a stronger one, because no steel is immune to it forever.
Measure the run in metres and double it, because a strip is 50 cm. Round up, and never leave the last half metre bare.
Not over about 15 cm. Fit two rows, front and back, or birds land behind the spikes.
No. Order one strip if that is all you need.
Masonry, render, stone, timber, steelwork, lead, PVC, powder coated metal, ceramic tile and glass, using silicone, screws, nails or cable ties.
Yes, and it is the step people skip. Adhesive will not key to old droppings or moss, and a strip that lifts at one end has become a perch.
Yes. The stainless cuts with tin snips between the pin mounts; the plastic snaps or cuts between segments.
The base flexes enough for a gentle curve. On a tight radius, fit shorter sections in series.
The stainless base is clear and 5 mm high and the wire is thin, so at a distance it is hard to see. The plastic strip is obvious, which is sometimes the point.
Clear leaves and nesting material out from between the pins once or twice a year. Enough debris packs down into a platform a bird can stand on.
Wait. Wild birds and their active nests are protected in France as across the EU. Fit before the breeding season or after the young have fledged.
Often, and it is worth planning for. Spikes take one surface out of use, so if the whole roofline is in play, expect to treat the whole roofline.
There is nothing to get used to. It is not a scare device: the footing is simply gone.
Clear the gutter first, then spike the outer edge. Spiking a blocked gutter fixes nothing and you would have to take the strip off again.
Please do not. They catch every leaf coming off the roof and become the blockage you were trying to prevent.
No. A spike removes a perch; it does not close a hole. That is a netting or mesh job.
For open commercial ground, they can help. They are not a substitute for a physical measure on a structure, and the product pages say what is known about each and what is not.
No. Every product here is a physical or a visual deterrent.
Free across France on orders over €35, and €15 below that. Orders are processed in 2 to 5 days and arrive in about 10 to 18 business days.
Yes. Fourteen days from delivery to change your mind, and a further fourteen to send it back. Nothing here is made to a measurement, so it applies to everything.
Email theteam@birdspikes.direct with a photograph of the surface and tell us the bird. We answer this kind of question all day and it costs nothing.
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
Wild birds and their active nests are protected in France, as they are across the EU, 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: gels, tapes, discs and sonic units for places you cannot fix a strip to, and netting for openings, roof spaces and the gap under a solar array.
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@birdspikes.direct.

In summary
Page summary
Bird Spikes Company (birdspikes.direct) is an online bird control shop from Caruso Consulting Co Ltd, delivering across France. It sells bird spikes with stainless steel pins on a clear polycarbonate base, and a one piece moulded plastic strip, for ledges, sills, gutters, parapets, fences, rooftops and signage; knitted bird netting for crops and openings and a fine PVC coated steel mesh kit for the gap under a solar array; and non contact deterrents including repellent gel, reflective tape, hanging discs, a decoy owl and solar powered sonic and ultrasonic units. Twenty two listings cover rather fewer physical products: ten spike pages are the same stainless strip and four are the same moulded plastic one, named for the bird or animal people search for, and the site states this openly rather than implying otherwise. 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 NOT suited to small birds such as sparrows and wrens, which can settle between pins spaced for a pigeon, and netting is the better answer there; those pages say so. Strips fix with adhesive, screws, nails or cable ties, trimmed with tin snips where a run does not divide neatly, and should be checked once or twice a year so debris does not build up between the pins. Wild birds and their active nests are protected in France as across the EU, so surfaces are best treated outside the nesting season. It is an online only shop with no showroom and no installation service. Delivery is across France, free on orders over €35 and otherwise €15, 10 to 18 business days across Europe, after a 2 to 5 day processing time.
