Humane Bird Deterrents for Pigeon Control

Pigeon spikes are one of the most effective ways to keep pigeons off your property. These spikes provide a humane, long term solution that stops pigeons from roosting and nesting without causing them harm.

In the UK, many businesses and property owners use pigeon spikes to protect ledges, roofs and other surfaces from the mess and damage pigeons can cause. Integrated Bird Management specialises in supplying and installing high quality pigeon spikes across the UK, helping you protect your premises from pest birds in an eco-friendly and reliable way.

Key Benefits of
Pigeon Prevention Spikes

  • Humane & Legal: Pigeon spikes are a bird friendly deterrent that do not harm the animals. They simply create an uncomfortable landing spot, encouraging pigeons to move on without injury.

  • Highly Effective: When it comes to pigeon proofing, spikes are “one of the best ways of bird proofing a building”. They provide an extremely effective deterrent.

  • Low Maintenance: Once installed, bird spikes require little to no upkeep. They are made of robust materials that withstand outdoor conditions for years.

  • Versatile Installation: Pigeon prevention spikes can be installed on virtually any surface where pigeons perch. They come in strips that can be cut or snapped to size, allowing you to fit them along roofs, wall ledges, window sills, eaves, beams, signs, gutters, CCTV cameras, solar panels, and more.

  • Cost Effective Solution: Pigeon spikes are economical compared to the cost of cleaning droppings, repairing bird damage, or dealing with infestations. They are one of the most inexpensive long term bird proofing methods available.

Pigeon deterrent spikes work by stopping pigeons from finding a flat, comfortable place to land, forcing them to move elsewhere. Each strip has a series of closely spaced pins, usually about 10 centimetres high, which make it impossible for pigeons to perch without being blocked. T

he spikes do not harm the birds; they simply prevent them from settling. Acting as both a visual and physical barrier, pigeon spikes clearly signal that the area cannot be used for roosting. They are highly effective against feral pigeons and even larger birds like seagulls, though smaller birds may require specially designed spikes with a denser pattern.

Choosing the Best Pigeon Repellent Spikes

Not all pigeon spikes are the same, so it is important to choose the right type for your property. High-quality spikes are made from stainless steel or UV-protected plastic, both offering strong, long-lasting protection.

The spikes must be the right height and spacing for pigeons or other birds you want to deter, with wider ledges needing extra coverage or multiple rows. Proper attachment is essential to keep spikes secure in all weather, using strong adhesives or screws. In short, the best pigeon spikes are durable, matched to the bird size and fitted correctly to fully protect your surfaces.

Pigeon Spikes FAQs

Yes, pigeon spikes really do work and are one of the most effective ways to keep pigeons and other large birds off buildings. They work by removing the flat surface that pigeons need to land and walk, so the birds are forced to move elsewhere. This prevents roosting and stops mess and damage before it starts. Pigeon spikes have a very high success rate, especially in cities, and once installed they provide continuous, maintenance free protection. They do not harm the birds but simply stop them from settling on your property.

Absolutely. Pigeon spikes are completely legal in the UK and are widely encouraged as a safe and humane bird control method. All wild birds, including pigeons, are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, so harming or killing them is not allowed without special permission. However, using spikes is legal because they do not injure birds; they simply stop them from landing. The spikes are blunted and designed to prevent perching without causing harm, making them fully compliant with animal welfare standards.

The best spikes to keep pigeons away are those that are well made, correctly sized and properly installed for pigeon control. Both stainless steel spikes and polycarbonate plastic spikes can work very well if they are designed for pigeons and fitted securely. It is important to choose spikes labelled for pigeon or multi bird use, as they have the right height and spacing to stop pigeons landing. Stainless steel spikes are highly durable, rust resistant and less noticeable from a distance, while quality plastic spikes can also be effective if they are UV stabilised and sturdy. In the end, the best pigeon spikes are those made from strong materials, suited to your building and installed correctly, giving you reliable, long term protection.
