How to Use

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Attach the strip using a strong outdoor adhesive or Screw down, depending on the material. If a shorter length is needed, the base includes pre-formed grooves that allow the strip to be snapped cleanly to size without tools. The stackable design also means multiple strips can be carried at once and installed quickly, improving on-site efficiency.

Recommended Accessories: Gutter Fixing Clips

For installations on gutters, two dedicated fixing clips are available to ensure a secure, professional fit without obstructing water flow.

Lipped Gutter Clips for BC Bird Spikes are designed specifically for lipped gutters, providing a straightforward method of attaching BC Bird Spikes directly to the gutter lip to prevent birds from landing, without blocking drainage or interfering with normal water flow

Gutter Clips for BC Bird Spikes perform the same function for standard gutters, offering a secure fixing solution that keeps spikes firmly in position while allowing water to pass through unobstructed.

Both products are compatible with BC Bird Spikes 14S, 20M, and 20G, making them a practical addition to any gutter bird proofing installation.

FAQs

Are bird spikes approved for use by animal welfare organisations?

Yes, bird spikes are endorsed by the RSPCA, confirming they are a humane and responsible method of deterring birds without harm.

How do I install these spikes on different surfaces?

For ledges and flat surfaces, a strong outdoor adhesive is recommended. For pipes or uneven substrates, use compatible clips or cable ties. Always clean the surface before installation to ensure strong adhesion.

Can I install these on curved or uneven surfaces?

Yes. The flexible polycarbonate base allows the spikes to be installed on slightly curved or angled surfaces such as pipes, signage, and decorative features.

How does the stackable design benefit pest control work?

Stackability reduces the space taken up in vans and boxes, allows pest controllers to carry more strips at once (especially when working at height), and helps streamline both transport and on-site logistics, making large jobs quicker and easier.

Are the materials suitable for long-term outdoor use?

Absolutely. The 304 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, and the polycarbonate base is UV-stabilised, meaning both materials withstand harsh weather and prolonged sun exposure without degrading.

How does this product contribute to sustainability?

The stackable design means less packaging material, reduced transport volume, and more efficient storage, contributing to a lower carbon footprint. The durable materials also reduce the need for replacements.

Do these spikes require maintenance?

Minimal maintenance is needed. Occasional visual checks are recommended to ensure the strips remain secure and unobstructed by debris or nesting material.

What birds are these spikes suitable for?

BC Bird Spikes 14S is designed primarily for deterring pigeons and similarly sized birds from landing or perching.

Can the strips be shortened to fit smaller sections?

Yes, each 333mm strip features pre-formed grooves in the base, allowing it to be snapped cleanly to the required length, ideal for custom fits on shorter ledges or awkward spaces. No cutting tools required.
