The BirdOff Seagull Spikes provide superior bird control for seagulls and larger birds, preventing them from landing or roosting on commercial and residential properties. With a new and improved design, these anti-bird spikes have a cross directional spike row down the centre for enhanced effectiveness.

Features:

• High-strength 302 stainless steel rods provide protection for areas up to 250mm x 160mm.
• UV-stabilised virgin polycarbonate base, measuring 22mm x 500mm for durability in all weather conditions.
• Backed by a 10-year materials warranty.
• Humane Bird Deterrent which prevents landing and roosting without harming birds.
• Designed with multiple obtuse angles for high-density coverage across large areas.
• Can be quickly secured with adhesive, screws, or clips, ensuring easy installation.

• Base Material: UV-resistant 100% extra virgin polycarbonate.
• Dimensions: 500mm long x 225mm wide (between tips) x 140mm high.
• Coverage: Maximum protective area of 250mm wide x 160mm high.
• Rod Details: 1.3mm diameter AISI 302 stainless steel rods with maximum resistance of 2,000 N.
• Spike Count: 50 spikes per strip.
• Specification: Compliant with European EN-DIN-ISO 4892 manufacturing standards.

Preparation:

1. Disinfect the Area: Bird droppings can carry transmittable diseases. Thoroughly disinfect the working area with GuanoFix Plus avian disinfectant before proceeding.
2. Prepare the Surface: Proper surface preparation is crucial for a successful installation. Avoid laying spikes on contaminated or unprepared surfaces.
   • For greasy surfaces, clean thoroughly with Surface Cleaner before priming.
   • For polished surfaces, such as metal or plastic, use Surface Activator to ensure optimal adhesion.
   • Always prime the surface with Spike Adhesive, applying it with a Disposable Priming Brush for a secure, long-lasting bond.

Positioning:

• Ensure the spike tips overhang the leading edge of ledges, parapets, or sills by approximately 10mm to prevent birds from gaining an initial foothold.
• When installing parallel rows of spikes, maintain:
  • 65mm gap between rows for pigeon spikes.
  • 100mm gap between rows for seagull spikes.
• For smaller areas, snap off the spike strip sections along the pre-marked grooves to fit the space.

Note: The polycarbonate base is flexible and can bend along shallow curves. However, increased spacing between spikes on curves may reduce effectiveness.

Installation:

Gluing the Spikes

1. Apply an 8mm-wide bead of neutral cure low-modulus adhesive along the underside of the spike strip.
2. Firmly press the polycarbonate base onto the primed surface, ensuring that glue rivets rise through the holes in the base for a secure attachment.
3. Allow the adhesive to set for at least 24 hours before disturbing the spikes.

Rain Gutter Installation:

• Secure spikes to the outer edge of gutters using BirdOff Gutter Clips..
• Use two clips per strip, placing one at each end of the spike strip for stability.

Important Notes:

• Bird spikes are designed to deter lightweight birds (under 1kg), such as pigeons and gulls. They are not suitable for larger animals, human intruders, or pets.
• While the polycarbonate base allows for bending, this may reduce spike density and effectiveness.
