Bird Spikes
Polycarbonate bird spikes, also known as plastic bird spikes or transparent bird spikes, are a type of bird control device that is used to prevent birds from roosting or nesting on ledges, signs, and other structures. Unlike traditional bird spikes, which are made of metal or other materials, polycarbonate bird spikes are made of transparent or translucent plastic that is nearly invisible from a distance.
One of the main benefits of polycarbonate bird spikes is that they are discreet and unobtrusive. Because they are nearly invisible, they do not detract from the appearance of the building or structure on which they are installed. This makes them a popular choice for commercial and residential properties, as well as for historical or architecturally significant buildings where aesthetics are a concern.
Polycarbonate bird spikes are also effective at preventing birds from roosting or nesting on the protected structures. The spikes create a physical barrier that birds cannot pass through, without harming the birds or causing them any physical harm. This makes them a humane and environmentally friendly solution for bird control.
In addition to their aesthetic and effectiveness, polycarbonate bird spikes are also easy to install and require very little maintenance. They are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be easily cut to fit the specific needs of the property. They can also be easily removed or relocated if necessary.
Overall, polycarbonate bird spikes are a useful solution for preventing birds from roosting or nesting on buildings, signs, and other structures. They are discreet, effective, and easy to use, making them a popular choice for bird control.
Bird spikes are relatively easy to install and can be fixed onto a variety of surfaces using a few different methods:
1. Adhesive: Bird spikes can be fixed onto a surface using a strong adhesive such as silicone or epoxy. The adhesive is applied to the base of the bird spikes and then the spikes are pressed firmly onto the surface. This method is typically used on smooth, flat surfaces such as signs or window sills.
2. Screws: Bird spikes can be fixed onto a surface using screws. The base of the bird spikes typically have pre-drilled holes for screws, which are then screwed into the surface. This method is typically used on surfaces that are thicker or uneven, such as the edges of roofs or ledges.
3. Zip ties: Bird spikes can also be fixed onto a surface using zip ties. The base of the bird spikes typically have small holes that allow for zip ties to be threaded through them. The zip ties are then tightened around the surface to secure the bird spikes in place. This method is typically used on surfaces that are too thin for screws or where adhesive is not appropriate.
It is important to ensure that the bird spikes are fixed securely and that there are no gaps or spaces where birds can still land. Additionally, it is important to regularly inspect the bird spikes to ensure that they remain in good condition and continue to be effective at deterring birds.
