Ecogreen plastic bird spikes come in five different colours: white, black, brown, cream and dark green. We also have a clear plastic bird spike for optimal invisibility, as well as a stainless steel bird spike for those who prefer using stainless steel. View our product page for more information.

1. Both our plastic and stainless steel bird spikes are 33.3cm in length. So, to make up a meter, you will need 3 pieces of spikes. Go to our clear bird spike product page for photo measurements.

Bird spikes can be used in practically any place where birds perch, for example, gutters, ledges, on porches, undercover walkways, balconies, chimneys, external air conditioning units, greenhouses, signboards, storefronts or in big warehouses, stores, barns or factories that are open and therefore give easy access to birds. If you have more questions about this, contact Craig.

No, bird control spikes only prevent birds from landing. You will not see a bird trying to land on a big thorn on the branch of a tree! In a similar way, the bird spike merely acts as a bird deterrent. The bird will not come into contact with the bird spike and it is therefore non lethal and humane. 

Yes, it can. The effectiveness of the bird spike is dependent on how well you cover the surfaces available for birds to land on. Keep in mind that the bird, no matter how large or small, does not actually come into contact with the spike. Rather, when it attempts to land and cannot find a surface, the bird spike acts as an effective bird deterrent. Look at our product page for more info. 

No, we have designed the bird spike with a center spike, which effectively prevents even small birds from landing and therefore roosting in our spikes. Take a look at our installation page for more info. 

The gutter clip makes it possible for you to attach the bird spikes onto your gutter, ensuring that birds do not make nests and cause blockages in your gutter. Go to the gutter clips page for more info. 

On any surface that you may want to remove the spikes at a later stage. For example, you might need to paint behind a spike on a ledge. Simply remove the spike by pinching the top of the Remova-Clip with a pliers and lift the spike. Go to the installation page for more info.

If your ledge is very wide, you may have to add more than one row of spikes. Keep in mind that you need to cover the surface efficiently so that there are no wide gaps for birds to land in. Our Installation manual will assist you with how to do this effectively.

Ecogreen bird spikes are specially designed to fit practically any size ledge. If your ledge is a very narrow one that has a wall on one side, simply cut off the spikes on one side with a sidecutters or pliers. See our installation manual for more detailed guidelines with photo descriptions.

Yes, it is a completely do-it-yourself product! For more information, see our easy to understand installation manual.

If you would prefer someone else to install the spikes - for example if you need to climb on a roof, or are a bit nervous of using a ladder, give your local handy man, paint contractor, or roof cleaning guy a call.
