How to Install Pigeon Spikes

Proper installation is key to ensuring pigeon spikes perform effectively.

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Remove any nesting material, droppings or debris. Clean and dry the surface thoroughly before installation.

Step 2: Measure & Position

Measure the ledge width and ensure the pigeon spikes fully cover the landing area. There should be no gaps where birds can perch.

Step 3: Fixing Methods

These pigeon spikes include pre-formed rivet holes for secure fixing. Installation options include:

• Screwing into masonry or timber
• Riveting onto metal surfaces
• Bonding using specialist bird spike adhesive

For uneven or textured surfaces, adhesive is often preferred. For high-wind or exposed areas, mechanical fixing is recommended.

Step 4: Continuous Coverage

Install strips end-to-end to create uninterrupted protection along the entire ledge.
