Here’s Why You Should Opt for Bird Control Spikes

When you need a bird control solution for your property, you might come across several options. Many property owners choose bird nets, posts, wires, and other options for mild to moderate bird population. If you have serious bird roosting issues, then it is more effective to choose bird spikes. Here are a few reasons why you should consider bird control spikes.

Built for Durability

When installing an anti-bird solution for your home or commercial property, you want the method to hold up. Most people can’t afford to replace their building’s bird spikes every few years and even if you could, why would you willingly throw your money away to do so? Choosing a sturdy option is the best way to prevent this.

These days many property owners choose bird control spikes as a way to ensure their bird control method will last for more than a single season. These spikes are typically more durable as they are installed directly into or bolted onto the surfaces where they are needed. However, the expenses are set by the fact that they won’t need to be replaced for one to two decades or perhaps even longer!

Are these Spikes Safe?

When many consumers hear the words “bird spikes”, they wince. Isn’t installing spikes a bit harsh for getting rid of birds? Won’t that injure the birds? Fact is there is far less risk to birds who encounter spikes than most people think. The truth is, these spikes are indeed made not sharpened. The vision of tiny blades many people summon to mind when thinking about bird spikes isn’t very accurate; these spikes are more like dull pokers, instead.

So, how do they work if they’re not actually injuring the birds? The spikes do encounter the birds directly, but they generally do no harm to them whatsoever. Instead, they merely knock the birds off balance as they try to land. When installed properly, they are close enough together and arranged at angles that prevent proper balance for landing all around the area where the bird might otherwise try to gain footing. This frustrates the bird and causes them to abandon the effort to land entirely.

Common Bird Control Methods

Some of the most common and effective methods of bird control and deterrence adopted by National Bird Control include:

• Bird spikes for pigeons and other nuisance birds: These spikes are installed directly onto the required surfaces to prevent birds from landing and roosting there – all without causing harm to the birds.
• Bird control posts and wires: These are also installed directly on areas where birds are discouraged to enter. The wires are suspended between the posts, making it difficult or impossible for birds to comfortably land. Again, the birds are not harmed, but the method is extremely effective.
• Bird control netting: This is a popular choice because it can cover large, open spaces when properly installed. It is a great method for controlling the presence of birds in farmland or in gardens.
