  "description_short": "A stainless steel strip on a clear base, sold by the 50 cm with no minimum. 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. Stainless steel pins, 1.3 mm diameter and 115 mm long, mounted on a transparent polycarbonate base 500 mm long, 23 mm wide and 5 mm high, protecting a 70 mm band with roughly 60 pins per metre. Sold per 50 cm strip at EUR 5 with no minimum order; strips butt end to end for any run length. Fixed with silicone adhesive, screws, nails or cable ties to masonry, steelwork, lead, PVC, powder coated metal, tile or glass. Suitable for permanent outdoor use including coastal sites. It removes a flat perch and does not injure birds; it is not a repellent and does not protect an area. Effective against pigeons, gulls, crows and other medium to large birds. NOT suitable for small birds such as sparrows and wrens, which can settle between pins spaced at this width; netting is the correct product for those. This is the same physical strip sold on this site's pigeon, gull, myna, squirrel, possum, sparrow, wren, gutter and fence pages. Under French and EU law an active nest must not be disturbed, so spikes go up outside the breeding season or after fledging. Delivery across France is free over EUR 35 and EUR 15 below it, processed in 2 to 5 days and arriving in about 10 to 18 business days.",
