Pest bird infestations in urban areas and cities like Glasgow are quite common. A large population of pest birds can be a threat to public health and safety and can cause structural damage to homes and businesses. In order to deal with these pest birds such as pigeons and gulls and keep birds away, many domestic and commercial clients opt for professional bird control and bird deterrent systems such as bird spikes.
Bird spiking is a series of harmless metal rods or stainless steel spikes that are mounted in robust plastic. Bird spikes are most commonly used on the edge of buildings, on ledges, or on smaller surfaces like CCTV cameras or light fixtures to stop birds from landing. Measures such as bird spikes are a form of expert bird control that acts as an effective bird deterrent.
Our bird spikes Glasgow technicians will attach this equipment using adhesive, screws, or a mixture of the two to make sure it is secure. The plastic base is also UV-stabilised which ensures it will withstand the elements, including heavy snow and intense sun.
Our bird control professionals take bird control very seriously. Because of legislation in this country, it is crucial that birds are not harmed in the proofing process. This is why in the solutions provided by us, the prongs are blunt which ensures the safety of the bird during this process, making it an effective solution. Common pest bird species in Glasgow are seagulls and pigeons which can contribute to the defacement of buildings through the build up of bird droppings.
Why Choose Bird Spikes as a Method of Bird Control?
Dependable
The products we employ and the installation methods of our bird spikes Glasgow technicians will ensure that the spikes remains effective and that you have a pest bird free property in no time. The prongs will resist the build-up of litter and debris, allowing their looks to be maintained while still performing adequately.
Customisable
No two bird proofing projects are the same, and it is crucial we have techniques we can adapt to different situations. We can use prongs of different lengths and plastic bases of various sizes in order to match your exact requirements.
Durable
Our experienced bird spikes Glasgow team know what it takes to install the product securely. By using our quality UV-stabilised product, we can ensure the spiking will remain effective for a number of years.
Discreet
Bird spiking is difficult to spot from the ground if you are not actively looking. This makes spiking a common choice for facility managers responsible for a building where aesthetics are important, such as historic sites.
Ethical
Bird spiking may look quite intimidating, but it will never do any damage to birds attempting to land. They will merely provide a surface birds cannot land on, encouraging them to fly elsewhere for a suitable roosting location.
Versatile
This product is a popular choice for our local Glasgow experts due to the significant number of applications it can be used for. It is flexible, which means it can be used on curved surfaces and can be cut to fit awkward surfaces.

How Long Does Bird Spiking Last?
There are a number of variables which will determine how long the bird spiking will remain effective. The factors which can reduce or extend its lifespan are:
- The brand of product employed.
- The location of the bird spikes (how exposed it is).
- The skill of the installation team.
Nonetheless, our bird spiking Glasgow technicians have the expertise to offer a guaranteed lifespan of five years at a minimum. However, in the majority of cases, you can depend on the bird spiking to last for as long as a decade.
What Species Do Bird Spikes Prevent?
Bird spiking can be used to combat all types of bird, and we can use prongs of various lengths to tackle specific problem species of bird pests.
If a company is confident in its service, then transparency is not a problem. We are confident, and our sales representative will carry out a free of charge survey upon any properties across Glasgow and surrounding areas. Doing this will allow us to create a tailored plan to address your problems and tell you exactly how much the service of our bird spikes Glasgow team will cost.
Different lengths of metal prongs can be used to tackle different species, including:
- Feral Pigeons
- Gulls
- Magpies
- Starlings
- Sparrows
- Crows
- Canada Geese
Because of its versatility, we can use spiking anywhere that the equipment is ideally suited. The species of birds present in the area does not affect whether or not we can use it.
When is Bird Spiking Practical?
Bird spiking can be adapted for a tremendous number of situations and is incredibly effective. This means it has become a staple when our sales representatives are developing strategies.
The bird spiking method, as we discussed before, is visually discreet. The prongs are dense enough to stop birds from landing but spaced out enough that they are not easily viewable. The professional installation of bird spikes by our fully trained bird control specialists will ensure it does not grab attention.
Spike systems are also very versatile which means they can be used in areas where other methods would not work. For example, on thin ledges, or small surfaces like CCTV cameras or lighting fixtures. The plastic bases are also flexible, which means it can be attached firmly to curved surfaces and windows.
Pest Bird Control Rules and Laws
In Britain, pest controllers need to follow stringent guidelines to stay on the right side of the law. Bird species that are considered to be pests are protected by wildlife laws. Our bird control team consisting of local experts who are trained pest control professionals will never use anything which is not entirely legal and ethical – there are effective methods which are entirely compliant.
Our bird spikes Glasgow team will use these harmless metal prongs to significant effect, making it impossible for problematic species to land. If birds cannot find a suitable roosting spot upon your residential and commercial properties, then they will just go elsewhere. This makes it an effective deterrent and bird control system.
