Defender Narrow Plastic Spikes

Pigeons were increasingly being attracted into the garden by seeds falling from garden bird feeder. Not much to be done but what the big problem was that they were perching along trellis fitted along sides of deck and the mess on the deck was unsightly, unhealthy not to mention expensive as the mess lifted the paint when cleaned off.Enter Defender plastic pigeon spikes. Result, still pigeons around, but no perching on trellis and consequently no mess whatsover. First day or two the aborted landings provided entertainment, but the point is no birds harmed.The pack is complete with correct glue cartridge (You will need a cartridge gun to use) instructionand booklet including pest birds prevention hints etc is in fact very interesting. I fitted using very small brass screws through the holes which run right along the base which worked perfectly. The ability of the spikes to be easily snapped enabled exact fit to length. Finally, the transparent plastic means the spikes are surprisingly unobtrusive. Excellent all round product.

Effective and surprisingly long lasting.

Arrived promptly, well packaged. Cannot use glue as suggested due to wind- so had to screw these in. Has kept the pigeons and magpies away - no ore cleaning pigeon pooWill have to find a cure for Seagulls which are a nuisance, pooing as they fly over the house, the car....

Very sturdy product good protection

A few broke off when a sponge football hit them so not as strong as hoped, but have helped a lot to keep pigeons off decking. However, I now have huge problem of pigeons elsewhere instead and need to buy loads more and get scaffolding up to fix the new, much bigger pigeon problem instead!

Bought for a nursery school where a sloping roof eave had become a favoured roosting spot for pigeons, and their poop was creating a bio hazard in the playground. I cleaned the ledge of waste, found the spikes easy to cut with pliers to shape the first strip to fit in an awkward corner, and fitted the remainder in a double row. The glue was easy to apply using a caulking gun, and job was done in a few minutes. All the proof I needed was that all spikes are still intact a month later - not broken - and stuck where I installed them, no pigeons, no mess. Time will tell how long they last up there, but so far I'm very pleased with the swift delivery, the ease of use , and the results . I definitely recommend this product - it worked !

After finally decorating my small patio, it seemed all the local pigeons liked it and decided to relocate to the pretty yard add their own artwork! So we put these up and apart from the odd revenge fly-bys has solved the problem ;o)

Got these as fed up with with bird poop on the decking. Easy enough to cable tie to the bars of the shade sail. Easy to either snap or cut to size. Seem durable. Yet to see if they keep the pigeons away. Only gripe is I only got one tube of glue to do 15m of spikes. I suspect there would not have been enough glue had I needed to use it.
