  "description": "Identify the bird first\n\nThe common myna is a serious invasive pest overseas and it is not established in France.\nThat matters here because this page gets read by people who have seen a dark bird with a\nyellow eye patch going into a soffit, and in this country that is far more likely to be a\nstarling.\n\nThe advice happens to be nearly identical for both, which is why this page is still worth\nhaving. Both are cavity nesters, both are loud, both arrive in numbers, and for both the\nthing that ends it is closing the hole.\n\nWhat spikes do and do not do here\n\nMynas and starlings are smaller and more agile than pigeons. On a narrow rail, a sign top\nor a slim ledge, our strip denies the footing and works. On a broad flat surface it is much\nless reliable, because a bird that size can find room.\n\nWhere they are nesting, spikes are simply the wrong tool. Nothing fitted to the ledge below\na hole stops a bird using the hole.\n\nClosing a cavity properly\nFind every entry point along the run, not the one you noticed. Eaves and soffit gaps\n usually offer several.\nDo it when the cavity is empty. Outside the breeding season or after fledging. An\n active nest is protected.\nFix mesh across the opening, secured at every edge. A fine galvanised mesh is right\n here; a 2 cm garden net is not.\nCheck afterwards, because a determined bird will test the edges of a poorly fixed panel.\n\nWhere the strip earns its place\n\nPerch points near the nest: the gutter line, the rail, the top of the sign, the aerial\nbracket. Removing those makes the site less attractive and cuts the mess considerably, and\nit is cheap enough to do properly at €5 per 50 cm.",
  "llm_summary": "Anti-Indian Myna Spikes page at birdspikes.direct (Bird Spikes Company, France). The product is this site's standard stainless steel strip: 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. The common or Indian myna is a starling-family bird, smaller and more agile than a pigeon, so the strip is effective on genuinely narrow perches and less reliable elsewhere. The species is a CAVITY nester that occupies roof spaces, vents, soffit gaps and eaves and displaces other hole-nesting birds; a cavity is closed with mesh, not addressed with a spike strip. The page notes that the myna is a serious invasive pest overseas but is not established in France, and that most enquiries here are more likely to concern starlings, for which the same advice applies. Identify the species before buying. An active nest is protected by law. Delivery across France is free over EUR 35 and EUR 15 below it.",
