Bird control is an essential aspect of maintaining a clean and safe environment around your property. At Trojan Roofing, we provide effective solutions, including bird deterrent spikes, to prevent birds from nesting and roosting on buildings in Indianapolis.
Benefits of Bird Spikes
Humane Deterrence
Bird spikes are created to deter birds from landing without harming them. They offer an uncomfortable surface that prevents birds from roosting.
Versatility in Materials
Available in stainless steel or polycarbonate, bird spikes can be selected based on visibility preferences or budget considerations.
Installation Areas
Common Roosting Sites
Install bird spikes on ledges, roof peaks, window sills, and other flat surfaces where birds are known to perch.
Coverage and Placement
Spikes should be installed close together to ensure that birds cannot find a comfortable spot to land. They should cover the entire roosting area to be effective.
Types of Birds Deterred
Large Birds
Spikes are particularly effective against pigeons and other large birds, which are commonly found in urban areas and can cause significant property damage.
Considerations for Smaller Birds
While spikes can deter larger birds, smaller birds may still manage to nest between them. In such cases, additional deterrents like netting may be necessary.
Maintenance and Longevity
Low Maintenance Solution
Bird spikes require minimal upkeep, making them a cost-effective long-term solution for bird control.
Durability
Choose high-quality materials that can withstand environmental elements, ensuring the spikes remain effective for years.
Conclusion
Implementing bird spikes is a proven method to effectively reduce bird-related issues. They are easy to install and can be placed in various locations to deter different types of birds.
