The product is a modern and frequently used type of protection against large birds, which enables dealing with the "bird problem". Bird spikes are an effective solution for securing surfaces against the unwanted presence of large bird species, which prevents them from building nests in close proximity to dwellings or leaving droppings.. The item is able to provide protection against pigeons, starlings, sparrows, but also stray cats or martens. In combination with gutter brackets, the repellent product can be mounted stably on gutters. The article provides the possibility of ensuring protection, among others. cornices, parapets, facades and other architectural elements. A properly installed system of spikes is very effective and barely visible, blending perfectly into the surroundings.. Spikes allow to solve a serious aesthetic and health problem. Droppings and parasites spread by birds cause many diseases, most often of the respiratory tract, and are also the cause of severe allergic reactions. The product is a basic model of anti-bird spikes. Bird spikes are equipped with stainless steel spring wires spaced 100 mm apart, allowing for effective protection of a 160 mm surface.. The item has 36 spikes per meter of length (a single module is 341 mm). The height of each spike is 105 mm, which effectively deters seagulls or pigeons. The spikes are spaced so closely that no bird can sit between them.. Wires made of stainless steel are easy to clean and do not retain fingerprints. Additionally, the material is corrosion-resistant, so the item can be mounted outdoors without worry - on window sills, stairs, or roofs. The product's durability and strength make it resistant to impacts, abrasion, or scratches. Under variable temperatures the article does not lose its properties. The base was made of polycarbonate. Spikes are mounted using silicone adhesive or screws. In order to carry out a proper installation of bird spikes, several essential tools are needed, the most important of which are a silicone adhesive gun, a utility knife (or other), spatula, wire brush, cloth. Recommended personal protective equipment: protective gloves, safety glasses. Before installing the spikes, the substrate should be carefully cleaned using a wire brush, spatula, or cloth.. Metal surfaces (unpainted, coated) should be wiped with a degreasing agent, for example denatured alcohol. Concrete surfaces should be primed if necessary.. Based on the spikes, we spread a layer of adhesive - about 5 mm - for this purpose, a silicone gun should be used.. For wooden surfaces, we mount the spikes using screws or corrugated nails.. The bases of the spikes have notches approximately every 50 mm, if necessary, the modules can be divided into smaller sections. We carefully arrange the spikes on the substrate. Leave a 2-5 mm gap between the bases of the successively glued modules.. We press the spikes down with our hand or a spatula. The installation of spikes should be carried out on a fully dried surface. The minimum installation temperature is 5 degrees. To avoid stress at the base, the spike modules should be divided into smaller elements.. The polycarbonate base of the spikes has characteristic notches occurring at intervals of approximately 50 mm. They allow breaking the base and dividing it into shorter sections, which can be installed on round, semi-circular surfaces, arches, roof tiles, ridge tiles, parapets, and other architectural elements. Bird spikes can be mounted on narrow architectural elements such as barriers, balustrades, handrails, downpipe elbows.. We recommend installation using glue and stainless steel clamps.. When mounting spikes to wood, we recommend using stainless steel screws or barbed nails.. The polycarbonate base of the spikes has holes allowing for this type of installation (co 50mm).
