  "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. 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. Suited to gulls because they are heavy birds that commit to a landing approach and need clear footing to settle. Fitted to roof ridges, chimney stack tops, dormer cheeks, parapets and flashing ledges, which is where gulls loaf and nest. Stainless pins are appropriate for coastal and salt-air exposure and will not streak rust down render. Gulls are strongly faithful to a nest site, so proofing must be in place BEFORE the breeding season; an active nest is protected and must be left until the young have fledged. It is a physical deterrent that removes footing and does not injure birds. It does not stop gulls nesting on an open flat roof area, which needs netting or a post and wire system. Delivery across France is free over EUR 35 and EUR 15 below it.",
