• Poycarbonate base: stainless steel wire fixed into weather-resistant plastic.
• Metal base:: the wire is welded or plugged to a stainless steel plate.

The nearly endless variety of shapes, lengths, and materials means that spike arrays can be custom-designed for any and all applications.

Important features of spikes

• Spikes are one of the most time-tested and versatile methods of bird control, demonstrated in both scientific tests and decades of practical use.
• Spikes are either glued, nailed or bolted to the surface to be protected, depending on the application. Each of these provides a strong and lasting hold. Gluing, in particular, avoids any alteration to the underlying structure.
  
• As the strips are available in a variety of lengths, widths, and materials, spike configurations can be designed for any request.
• Spikes are effective detterents for all sizes of bird populations.
  

Versions

• Spikes are available for various surface widths:
  1 row: spans ca. 4 cm
  2 rows: span ca. 8 cm
  3 rows: span ca. 15 cm
  4 rows: span ca. 20 cm
• For different birds:
Hanging spikes for swallows
Short barbs for small birds such as sparrows and starlings
Long barbs for larger birds including pigeons and seagulls


• Of various types:
  Stainless steel spikes on a polycarbonate strip
  Stainless steel spikes welded to steel strip
  Stainless steel spikes plugged into steel strip
  
• Spikes for various purposes:
  Spikes for pipe, lamp posts, etc.
  Spikes for gutters

Office building Karlsruhe: stainless steel spikes

Office buildings with an atrium are favoured living places for pigeons. In particular, niches on the buildings are very suitable.

We protected the niches with stainless steel spikes – a simple and discreet method. The only challenge with the atrium was the confined space. Special handling equipment solved the problem.

The pigeons were nesting in the venetian blind boxes underneath the eaves of this building.  

The problem was solved with several rows of stainless steel spikes, some of which were installed from inside the building and some with lifting equipment.

Frankfurt inner courtyard: stainless steel spikes

Trees made this inner courtyard very difficult to access – impossible for lifting equipment, routine for our climbing team.

There were enough anchor points on the facade, which allowed our team to work safely.

Goettingen Hospital: Stainless steel spikes

Especially for hospitals hygiene is of extreme importance. Bird and pigeon droppings must be prevented with all means.

At the Goettingen hospital, stainless stell pipes are being used as snow guard. To prevent pigeons from roosting, we have installed a special stainless stell wire-system.

Beneath the roof pigeons also roosted directly on the tiles, since this place is best sheltered from the wind. We have installed PE-netting Antec, glueing it directly on the tiles.

Stainless stell spikes on roof ridges and ledges make bird control on this building complete.
