How to Use

Before installation, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from debris. Fix the strip in place using a strong outdoor adhesive or screw it down securely, depending on the surface material. If a custom length is needed, use the integrated snap points along the base to shorten the strip without tools. The stackable design allows for faster handling and efficient on-site installation.

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.
