The Benefits of Bird Spikes
Bird spikes come in two different types, plastic and metal. Both materials effectively stop birds from perching, nesting and roosting. If you decide to choose spikes as a control method for your business, you’ll make a great choice as they have the following benefits.
Long lasting
Once spikes are installed, they tend to have a long-lasting effect on the problem area.
Work on all surfaces
Spikes can be installed on a range of different surfaces, such as metal, wood, plastic, masonry, brick and steel.
Cost effective
Bird spikes are a cost-effective solution compared to some other bird control methods.
Humane
Anti bird spikes do not harm birds in any way; they simply stop birds from using the spiked area.

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.
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.
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. 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.
Bird Netting Installation
Bird netting is our most commonly installed pest control measure.

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.
