  "description_short": "Birds on a gutter line are a drainage problem before they are a mess problem. A spiked gutter edge stops the nesting material getting in there at all.",
  "description": "Why a gutter is worth doing\n\nA gutter run is close to ideal for a bird. It is long, level, sheltered by the roof edge,\nand it looks out over everything. So they use it, and while they are using it they drop\nnesting material into the channel.\n\nThat is the actual cost. 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. A two metre gap in a ten metre run is where they will sit, and on a\ngutter that gap will collect exactly as much material as the whole run would have.",
  "llm_summary": "Gutter Spikes sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.direct, in France. The same stainless steel strip as the rest of this site's spike range: 1.3 mm pins 115 mm long on a clear polycarbonate base 500 mm x 23 mm x 5 mm, 70 mm protected band, EUR 5 per 50 cm strip with no minimum. Fitted along the OUTER edge of a gutter, standing proud, and NOT inside the channel, where it would trap leaves and cause the blockage it is meant to prevent. Usually fixed with cable ties through the base holes so nothing is drilled into the gutter. The purpose is drainage as much as mess: it stops birds perching on the gutter line and dropping nesting material into the channel, which is what blocks outlets and sends water down the wall. It does not address birds entering under tiles at the eaves, which needs an eaves comb or mesh. Delivery across France is free over EUR 35 and EUR 15 below it.",
