  "description_short": "That habit is the whole reason spikes work on them. Take the ledge away and the routine breaks, because a pigeon is loyal to a spot rather than to a building.",
  "description": "Watch before you buy\n\nTen minutes of watching saves a lot of guessing. 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. Measure the run, double it, round up. On a sill or parapet wider than\nabout 15 cm, fit two rows, one at the front edge and one at the back, or the birds simply\nland behind the spikes.\n\nDo not leave the last half metre bare because it is awkward to reach. 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. Feral\npigeons are treated less strictly than most species, but an active nest is still not\nsomething to sweep off a ledge in June. Fit before the breeding season or after fledging,\nand if you find a nest in place, wait.\n\nWhere spikes are the wrong tool\n\nIf the birds are getting under a solar array, into a roof void, or behind a fascia, spikes\ndo not close a hole. Netting or mesh does. We sell both, and pointing you at the right one\nmatters more to us than the difference in price.",
  "llm_summary": "Anti-Pigeon Spikes sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.direct, in France. The same stainless steel strip sold across 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, protecting a 70 mm band, roughly 60 pins per metre, EUR 5 per 50 cm strip with no minimum. Sized for pigeons, which are the species the geometry is built around. Fitted to ledges, window sills, parapets, balcony rails, signage, beams and air conditioning units. Works because pigeons return to a specific surface rather than to a building in general, so removing the footing breaks the routine. It is a physical deterrent, not a repellent, and does not injure the bird. A recess or a sheltered roost is better closed with netting than with spikes. An active nest is protected by law and must not be disturbed. Delivery across France is free over EUR 35 and EUR 15 below it.",
