Choose Bird Spikes For An Effective Bird Deterrent
Bird spikes, also known as pigeon spikes, anti-seagull spikes or anti-bird spikes, are a set of stainless steel or plastic spikes attached to a strip that can be placed on ledges, roof lines and window sills to stop birds perching.
This humane method helps change the behaviour of pest birds, and works on all species, including pigeons, gulls, starlings, crows and more.
Using bird spikes helps to reduce bird droppings, which carry diseases and can become an unsightly health hazard. Bird guano is also highly corrosive, and can cause structural damage if allowed to build up on your property’s exterior.
For commercial sites across the UK, birds can cause serious issues. Integrum Services has provided bird spike installation and bird proofing at a range of sites, including airports, warehouses, factories, hospitality venues and more.
The Benefits of Bird Spikes
Bird spikes come in two different types: stainless steel bird spikes or polycarbonate (plastic) bird spikes. Both materials effectively stop birds from perching, nesting and roosting. Here are some of the benefits of using bird spikes to keep pest birds away from commercial properties.
Long Lasting
Integrum uses only high quality materials, so once our bird control spikes are installed, they tend to have a long-lasting effect on the problem area and can remain in place for many years.
Versatile
Bird spikes can be installed on a range of different surfaces, such as metal, wood, plastic, masonry, brick and steel, making them ideal for a range of buildings.
Cost-Effective
Anti-bird spikes are a cost-effective solution compared to some other bird control methods, which is why they're often a preferred method for many site managers.
Humane
Bird spikes do not harm birds in any way, but instead deter birds and teach them to look elsewhere for shelter, ensuring full compliance with all relevant laws.

Professional Bird Spike Installations
Bird control spikes have been used as an effective proofing method for many years. They work by stopping nuisance birds, such as pigeons and seagulls, from sitting (perching) in their desired area. These areas tend to include shop fronts, ledges, gutters and pipes.
At Integrum, we use bird spikes as an effective seagull management and pigeon pest control method, protecting our clients from the noise, mess, disruption and health risks birds cause. Furthermore, from a commercial point of view, guano (bird poo) can cause significant damage to your buildings and stock, resulting in cleaning costs and lost revenue.
Our expert team have installed thousands of meters of bird spikes over the years, and our expertise in this field allows us to recommend alternative bird control measures if spikes are not the correct option for your business. Depending on the question bird, you may need different size spikes to deter them; for example, seagulls are larger than pigeons, so they will need more robust bird spikes.
Whatever you need, we can carry out bird spike installation that, when combined with our other anti-bird measures, can offer the ultimate protection and safety for your commercial site. Call 0204 566 5522 to get a bird control plan tailored to your unique needs.
Bird Spike Installation Cost
Bird spikes are an affordable option to control a range of birds. However, when calculating a price for the installation of bird spikes, a few factors need to be discussed, so it is best to call us on 0204 566 5522.
Our office team will ask for photos of the property and potentially arrange a site audit if needed. Next, we’ll calculate the cost of bird spikes per meter (species of bird depended) and ensure other areas the birds may move onto are considered.
Furthermore, we may need access equipment to install bird spikes on your property. For example, on some sites, it is possible to proof using ladders, but others require a boom lift or cherry picker. All our technicians are IPAF trained and are capable of operating the machinery needed, but more equipment will increase the overall cost of your installation.
Finally, bird guano is highly acidic and carries dangerous pathogens that must be cleaned up with a professional-grade disinfectant. We’re highly experienced in bird dropping removals and can ensure your building no longer contains diseases.

Alternative Bird Proofing Methods
If you’re unsure if anti bird spikes are the best bird proofing method, then it is best to speak to our experienced proofing team. We operate throughout the UK, installing bird netting, bird spikes, bird wire, and our bird scaring systems, Bird Alert and Flock Off.
No matter the size of the project or infestation, we can help with anti-bird measures designed to meet your site’s needs. For example, we recently installed over 7000 meters of netting at a factory in Southampton and received outstanding feedback. Learn more about our bird proofing services.

Croudace Homes, one of the largest developers of new homes in the South East, was suffering from a long-standing issue with pest pigeons. Pigeons were perching on the exposed ledges to the rear of their building, fouling and causing damage. Integrum repaired damage to a previously installed bird net and installed bird spikes along window ledges and extraction vents, preventing pigeons from being able to return.
