From a pigeon's point of view it is close to perfect.\n\nWhat it costs you is not a stained wall. It is the wiring, the mounting and, when it has to\nbe put right, the labour of taking panels off. That is why this is a job worth doing before\nthere is a problem rather than after.\n\nWhat is in the kit\n\nA 30 m roll of galvanised welded steel mesh with a black PVC coating, and 70 stainless steel\nclips. The mesh openings are about 13 mm, which is fine enough to exclude small birds as\nwell as pigeons and coarse enough that leaf litter does not pack against the panels.\n\nIt is malleable, so it follows the edge of an array around corners and into the tight\nreturns without being cut into short lengths.\n\nDo the whole perimeter\n\nNot the side you can see from the garden. Birds will walk around.\n\nClip the mesh to the panel frame, keeping it tight to the roof surface, and check for gaps\nat every corner and at any point where the roof line changes. A 60 mm gap at one corner is\nthe whole job undone.\n\nCheck it is empty first\n\nBefore you close anything, be certain nothing is living under there. Sealing a bird in is\ncruel, and with an active nest it is also unlawful.\n\nDo this outside the breeding season. If you find a nest, wait until the young have fledged.\n\nAbout the roof work\n\nSaid plainly: the risk in this job is being on a roof at the edge of an array, not anything\nabout the product. If you are not confident and properly equipped for that, get someone who\nis. Most solar installers will happily fit a kit you have supplied, and that is a much\nbetter outcome than an accident.\n\nOther uses\n\nIt is a fine, formable, coated steel mesh. Vent covers, small wall openings, machine\nguarding, an animal run. It is one of the few things on this site with an obvious second\nlife, and people buy it for those jobs as often as for solar.", "llm_summary": "Solar Panel Bird Proofing kit sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.direct, in France. A 30 m roll of galvanised welded steel mesh with a black PVC coating and 70 stainless steel fastener clips, EUR 99 (was EUR 129), mesh openings about 13 mm. It closes the perimeter gap between a roof-mounted solar array and the roof surface, which is a warm, sheltered, hidden cavity that pigeons nest in and where the damage is to wiring and mounting rather than to a wall. The mesh is malleable and follows the array edge around corners and tight returns. The 13 mm opening excludes small birds as well as pigeons, which makes this the finest mesh on the site and the product this catalogue recommends where sparrows or wrens must be excluded. The array must be confirmed EMPTY before it is closed, outside the breeding season: sealing a bird in is cruel and, with an active nest, unlawful. Fitting involves working on a roof at the edge of an array, which is the real risk in the job; most solar installers will fit a supplied kit.

Netting is for OPENINGS rather than surfaces: fruit trees, soft fruit, vegetable beds, chicken runs and open structures, where a spike strip cannot help. Installation must be TAUT and staked at the edges, because a slack net entangles birds, hedgehogs and cats; it should also be held clear of the crop, since fruit touching the net is eaten through it. The 20 mm mesh excludes blackbirds, starlings, pigeons and gulls but NOT house sparrows or wrens, which pass straight through; the finer galvanised solar panel mesh on this site is the closer fit for small birds.

If you are not sure which of our spikes to buy, it is almost always this one.", "description": "What a spike strip actually does\n\nA spike strip does one thing. It takes a flat surface out of use as a perch, permanently,\nwithout harming the bird that tries to land on it. That is worth being precise about,\nbecause a lot of bird control copy implies something closer to a force field.\n\nThe pins stand 115 mm high and protect a band about 70 mm wide. A pigeon approaching a\nparapet cannot get its feet down, so it goes somewhere else. Nothing is hurt: the pins are\nblunt-ended wire, not needles, and a bird that touches them simply lifts off again.\n\nHow much do you need?\n\nMeasure the run in metres and double it, because each strip is 50 cm. Round up. The single\nmost common reason a spike installation fails is somebody covering four metres of a five\nmetre ledge and leaving the birds a landing pad at one end.\n\nWhere a ledge is wider than about 15 cm you need two rows, one along the front edge and\none at the back, otherwise birds land behind the spikes on the part you did not cover.\n\nFixing it down\n\nAny of four methods work, and the surface decides which:\nSilicone adhesive on masonry, stone, render and tile. Use an outdoor grade, run a\n bead along the whole base, and weight it down while it cures.\nScrews through the base holes into timber, or into plugs in masonry.\nNails into soft timber such as a fascia.\nCable ties on railings, pipework and fence wire, where nothing can be drilled.\n\nClean the surface first, whichever you use. Old droppings, moss and loose paint stop\nadhesive keying to anything, and a strip that lifts at one end has turned into a perch.\n\nWhen not to use spikes\n\nBe honest with yourself about the bird. Spikes at this spacing are for pigeons, gulls,\ncrows and similar. House sparrows and wrens are small enough to sit down between the pins,\nand on a nesting site they will use the pins to anchor material. If small birds are the\nproblem, netting is the product, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the wrong\nthing.\n\nThe other case is an active nest. In France, as across the EU, wild birds and their active\nnests are protected, and taking a nest out during the breeding season is not something to\ndo casually. Fit spikes before the season starts or after the young have fledged.\n\nLiving with it\n\nOnce it is up, the job is done. Clear leaves and windblown nesting material out from\nbetween the pins once or twice a year, because enough debris packs down into a platform\nand then a bird can stand on that rather than on the spikes. That is the whole maintenance\nschedule.", "llm_summary": "Bird Spikes sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.direct, in France.

Not the marks on the path, but the blocked outlet, the water going\nover the front edge every time it rains hard, and the damp patch that eventually appears\ninside.\n\nThe one thing people get wrong\n\nFit the strip along the outer edge, standing proud of the gutter, so a bird cannot\nsettle on the lip.\n\nDo not fit it inside the channel. Inside the channel it catches every leaf that comes\ndown the roof and turns into the blockage you bought it to prevent. This is by far the most\ncommon mistake and it converts a good product into a bad one.\n\nFixing\n\nCable ties through the base holes are the standard answer. They hold well, they cost\nnothing, and nothing is drilled into the gutter, which matters if it is plastic and matters\nmore if it is old.\n\nWhere a gutter has a rolled or ogee front edge that a tie will not sit on, exterior silicone\nalong the base works, but clean the surface first: gutters carry a film that adhesive will\nnot key through.\n\nWhere it is the wrong tool\n\nIf birds are getting under the tiles above the gutter rather than sitting on it, this\ndoes not help. That is an eaves comb filler or a mesh across the tile gap.\n\nIf the gutter is already blocked, clear it first. Spiking a full gutter fixes nothing and\nyou will have to take the strip off to clean it out.\n\nDoing the whole run\n\nTake it end to end.

Pigeons will show you exactly which\nsurfaces they use, and it is nearly always fewer than people expect. There is usually a\nloafing ledge where they sit in the sun, a roost that is sheltered from wind and rain, and\noccasionally a nest tucked behind a pipe or under a panel.\n\nThose three want different answers. The loafing ledge is what spikes are for. The roost is\noften a recess, and a recess wants netting closing it off. A nest is a legal question\nbefore it is a product question.\n\nThe economics, plainly\n\nPigeon droppings are not only unsightly. They hold moisture against stone and metal, they\nblock gutter outlets and downpipes, and on a commercial frontage they cost money every\ntime the cleaner comes out. Proofing a ledge once is usually cheaper over three or four\nyears than washing it down repeatedly, which is the argument worth making to whoever signs\nthe invoice.\n\nMeasuring up\n\nEach strip is 50 cm.

That is where they\nwill stand.\n\nThe law\n\nWild birds and their active nests are protected in France as they are across the EU.

Coastal air is no problem for stainless.", "description": "Why gulls are a different job\n\nGulls are not big pigeons. They are long lived, they are strong, and they are faithful to a\nnest site in a way that means a pair which raised chicks on your roof will be back. Once\nthey are established, proofing gets harder and the timing gets tighter.\n\nThey also land differently. A gull drops onto a surface with its wings still out and needs\nclear footing to settle. That is the behaviour a spike strip exploits, and it is why a\nspiked ridge reads as unusable to a gull in a way it does not to a small, agile bird.\n\nWhere to fit\n\nThink about flat and near-flat surfaces up high:\nthe ridge, which is where they loaf and watch\nchimney stack tops and the flashing ledges around them\ndormer cheeks and any flat roof section\nparapets and the tops of walls\n\nA pitched slope is not a spike job. If gulls are nesting on a flat roof area rather than\nperching on a ridge, spikes along the edge will not stop them, and that is a netting or a\npost and wire system rather than a strip.\n\nTiming is everything\n\nGet it up before the breeding season. Once eggs are down, the nest is protected and the\nsensible course is to wait until the young have fledged. If gulls are already swooping at\npeople near a door, the nest is close and the answer is to leave it and plan for next year.\n\nCoastal sites\n\nStainless is the point here. On a salt air frontage a plated or mild steel spike will\neventually bleed rust down whatever it is fixed to, and on render that is a permanent\nstain. These pins are stainless and the base is UV stabilised plastic, so the strip is\nappropriate for a seafront building.\n\nUse a marine grade adhesive if you are gluing rather than screwing, and clean the surface\nback properly first. Salt film stops adhesive keying just as effectively as moss does.\n\nExpectations\n\nSpikes take a surface out of use. On a big building with a lot of roofline, expect to treat\nthe whole of the elevation the gulls are using rather than the one bit that is annoying\nyou, or you have simply moved them ten metres.", "llm_summary": "Anti-Seagull Spikes sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.direct, in France.

Most of what people see is harmless, and the species\npeople are frightened of are much less common than the ones they encounter. Photograph it\nfrom a safe distance and get it identified before you do anything.\n\nKilling or capturing a protected species is an offence, and it is also usually unnecessary.\n\nThe lever that actually works\n\nHabitat. Snakes are in a garden because there is cover and there is food:\nlog piles, rubble and stacked material are shelter. Move them away from the house.\nlong grass against a wall is a corridor. Cut a clear margin.\nrodents are the food. Deal with those and the reason to visit goes.\ncompost heaps are warm and full of prey, which is why they are a classic spot.\n\nNone of that is a product we sell, and it is still the honest answer.\n\nWhat we are selling\n\nA good moulded anti-climb strip, €7 per 50 cm, no minimum, for mammals on beams, pipe runs\nand fence tops.

A house sparrow is about 15 cm long and light, and it\ncan sit down comfortably between pins spaced for a bird four times its weight. If sparrows\nare your only problem, this is probably not the product.\n\nWhy they are worse than useless on a nest site\n\nSparrows nest in cavities and they build with grass, feathers and whatever else is to\nhand. Given a row of vertical wires they will weave material through it. What you end up\nwith is a nest that is better anchored than it would have been on the bare ledge, and a\nstrip you now have to clear out.\n\nThat is a specific failure mode rather than a general warning, and it is the reason this\npage exists in the form it does.\n\nWhat does work\nClose the hole. Sparrows get into eaves, soffit gaps, broken vent covers and lifted\n tiles. Mesh or netting fixed across the opening ends it, permanently, and nothing else\n really does.\nDo it at the right time of year. Outside the breeding season, or after the young have\n fledged. An active nest is protected.\nCheck the whole eaves line. Sparrows are colonial. Closing one gap on a terrace\n usually moves them four metres along.\n\nWhen spikes still earn their place\n\nIf the surface is a wide ledge, a parapet or a sign that pigeons also use, the strip is\nstill the right product for the pigeons and it will reduce the overall mess considerably.\nJust do not expect it to be what moves the sparrows.\n\nA word about the species\n\nHouse sparrows have declined sharply across much of Europe over the last few decades, and\na large part of that is loss of nesting cavities in modern buildings. Closing a cavity is a\nlegitimate thing to do on your own building.

A pigeon\npicks a ledge and sits on it, so you spike that ledge. A squirrel is going from the oak\ntree to your feeder, and your fence happens to be the path.\n\nThat means partial coverage does nothing. A two metre strip in the middle of a twelve metre\nfence is a two metre detour, and squirrels have the time.\n\nWork out the crossing\n\nStand where the squirrel starts and look at where it ends up. Usually there is one obvious\nroute with one or two alternatives. Cover the whole of the primary route between two points\nit cannot bypass: a post at each end, a corner, a wall return.\n\nIf you cannot close it end to end, be honest that you are making it slightly less\nconvenient rather than stopping it.\n\nThe branch problem\n\nIf any branch reaches within about two metres of the fence top, the feeder or the roof, the\nfence is not the route any more and nothing on this page helps. Squirrels jump further than\npeople expect. Pruning back is the intervention, and it is usually cheaper than the\nalternative.\n\nFeeder poles\nSquare or boxed poles: the strip works well, fixed with cable ties.\nRound poles: a baffle is better. A baffle presents a surface they cannot get around;\n a strip presents one they can step over.\n\nFitting on a fence\n\nCable ties through the base holes are ideal on wire and metal.

There is no version of this product that changes that.\n\nWe sell the strip. We are still telling you it is the wrong thing for this.\n\nWhat a wren problem usually is\n\nWrens build domed nests in cavities and sheltered corners: dense ivy on a wall, the corner\nof a porch, a shed, a stack of logs, a gap behind a downpipe bracket. The complaint is\nnearly always about the nest being somewhere inconvenient rather than about mess, because\nwrens eat insects and do not foul a facade.\n\nSo the problem is a hole or a sheltered space, and the fix is to close or change it.\n\nDoing it properly\n\n1. Identify the bird first. Wren, dunnock, robin and juvenile sparrow get confused all\n the time, and the answer differs. Send us a photograph if you are not sure.\n2. Wait for it to be empty. An active nest is protected. Outside the breeding season,\n or after the young have flown.\n3. Close it with mesh if it is a gap in a structure, or thin the ivy if it is planting.\n4. Check for other cavities nearby, because if one corner suited them another probably\n does too.\n\nIf you still want the strips\n\nThey are a good strip, and plenty of people buy them for a ledge or a parapet where\npigeons are the real issue. €5 per 50 cm with no minimum.
