Bird Spikes – Stainless Steel – 500mm Long

Bird spikes are one of the most practical and widely used methods of keeping pigeons and larger birds off buildings. These stainless steel bird spikes are 500mm long and built to stay put in all weathers, which is exactly what you need when they’re going up on a roofline or parapet wall and you won’t be back up there to check on them for years. The stainless steel construction means no rust, no degradation, and no embarrassing orange streaks running down your client’s freshly painted fascias.

The spike design works by making any flat or narrow surface uncomfortable to land on, without causing harm to the birds. This matters both practically and legally. Once fitted correctly, birds simply move on and find somewhere else to cause someone else’s gutters to overflow. Job done.

Where Stainless Steel Bird Spikes Are Used

These are a go-to product for roofers and building maintenance contractors dealing with persistent bird problems. They go on window ledges, parapet walls, gutters, ridge tiles, flat roof edges, and anywhere else pigeons have decided belongs to them. At 500mm per strip, fitting is fast and coverage adds up quickly across a run.

Why Stainless Steel Over Plastic

Plastic spike strips are available and cheaper upfront, but they become brittle in UV over a few years and start snapping off, which looks bad and stops working. Stainless steel holds its form, stays sharp-looking, and won’t need replacing on a job you did five years ago. For any commercial or long-term installation, stainless is the sensible choice. The material cost difference per metre is minimal when you factor in the call-back you won’t be making.
