Bird Proofing - Spikes and Barrier Coil



Spikes are aggressive looking steel or plastic projections, which make surfaces far less desirable for birds to perch or roost upon. They are usually constructed in the form of a long plastic base from which metal or plastic spikes stick upwards and slightly outwards. Attachment to the building is achieved by glue or by fixing directly into the surface material. Spike systems vary in size and robustness depending upon the type of bird they are designed to protect against, Betapest can advise you upon what you require.
A fitted barrier coil is very similar in structure to a slinky spring that has been stretched out and fixed in place. Coils perform in the same manner as spikes and are attached using similar techniques.
These commonly used methods provide a high level of protection and have long and effective lives. Spikes and coils are often easily visible from ground level; however we install them in a careful and tidy manner that dramatically reduces their negative aesthetic impact. Due to their flexibility they are ideal for small, irregular or uneven areas, and where other mechanisms are not appropriate or possible.
