Bird spikes are a humane method of deterring birds from roosting on man-made structures
A spike that is 4 inches high by 4 inches long is appropriate for most bird species. The number of rows you will need is dependent on the width of the ledge and the width of the spike strip. One 4-inch wide row of spikes will generally protect up to a 5-inch wide surface.
Installation should be made on a clean, dry surface. It is recommended that a surface disinfectant be used to remove existing droppings. The strip should overhang the ledge surface by 1/2 inch.
Here is a table comparison of several popular bird exclusion spikes. They are ideal for addressing problems associated with roosting birds and are the perfect application for building contractors, government agencies, office building/property management, industrial warehouses, and banks and gas stations.
