At PestFix we stock a wide range of tools for installing bird spikes. Including Gloves, Scrapers, Brushes and Caulking Guns
Surface preparation is the key to a successful installation. Do not lay spikes onto contaminated or unprepared surfaces.
Use Surface Cleaner (BS332) to prepare greasy surfaces prior to priming.
Use Surface Activator (BS365) to prepare polished surfaces such as metal or plastic prior to priming.
Always prime the surface to be adhered to with Silicone Spike Adhesive (BS328) and our Disposable Priming Brush (BS335), regardless of the composition of the surface. This ensures a long‐life bond.
Use masking tape if necessary to avoid priming an area outside of where the spike base will cover. This will ensure a neat and professional finish.
Do not lay spikes on unsound surfaces i.e. flaking paint, rusty metal or rotten timber, they will only fall off. Take time to repair these surfaces prior to installation.
