Bird spikes are a widely used and humane bird control method designed to deter birds from landing or roosting on specific surfaces. Commonly found on ledges, window sills, rooftops, signs, and other architectural features, these spikes are especially effective in urban areas where birds like pigeons, seagulls, and crows can become a nuisance. Despite their intimidating appearance, bird spikes are not harmful to birds—they simply prevent them from landing, thereby encouraging them to move elsewhere.

The primary function of bird spikes is to address issues caused by bird droppings, nesting materials, and potential property damage. Bird droppings are not only unsightly but also acidic, which can corrode building materials and create long-term damage to roofs, stone, and metal. Additionally, accumulated droppings and nesting materials can block gutters and drains, leading to water damage. In areas where food is processed or served, bird presence can pose significant health risks due to the transmission of diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and salmonellosis.

Bird spikes are typically made from durable materials
