Commercial Building Owners: Install Bird Spikes Now Before Spring Birds Attack

By:




With spring just around the corner, commercial buildings are at the mercy of pest birds. Here's one nagging problem birds can saddle you with and what you can do about it.

Problem: A particularly costly problem occurs when starlings, pigeons or crows build their nests in rain gutters. When rains come--remember, "April showers bring May flowers"--your rain gutters will overflow and water will seep into the crevices in your roof. That means roof leaks, damaged goods in your warehouse and water everywhere. After you clean out the water, which hopefully hasn't damaged your computer systems, desks and file cabinets, you'll have to pay for expensive roof repairs. There's also the damage to packaged goods stored inside your warehouse. And, of course, all the machinery, lighting, cabling and security cameras that will, no doubt, suffer water damage. Not exactly what you need in a recession. The key is to be proactive and install effective bird deterrents nowbefore pest birds arrive.

Solution: One of the best bird deterrents currently available is the Bird Spike. Bird spikes properly installed on roof lines and atop rain gutters can prevent birds from even landing, much less building nests.

Ideal for use against pigeons, seagulls and similar large birds, Bird Spikes are easily installed on rooftops and ledges. All you need is glue, nails or screws. You also have a choice of spikes--either rigid U.V.-resistant unbreakable polycarbonate or high strength, durable stainless steel. The spikes look like they could impale a bird, but they've been specially designed with blunted tips so as not to harm birds or people. Bird spikes have even been approved by a number of humane groups worldwide--including the U.S. Humane Society and PICAS (Pigeon Control Advisory Service).

Bird spikes are also available in different sizes and colors. The stainless steel spikes come in 3-, 5- and 8-inch widths; the less expensive plastic spikes come in 3-, 5- and 7-inch widths. If you prefer to have your bird deterrent blend in with your building, you can get bird spikes with a non-reflective metal finish. You can also choose from a number of different colors--like white, tan, gray, black, brown, brick red and crystal clear. No matter which you choose, birds will choose to leave your property after a few unsuccessful landing attempts.

Remember the key to solving any bird problem is to plan ahead. And now is the time to install and implement bird spikes to keep pest birds away from your commercial property.
