Bird-X Bird Spikes,
April 14, 2008
By WhiteDogs

"I bought several boxes of the Bird-X bird spikes because I happened upon a box of them locally and they worked great. The spikes are translucent plastic and very sharp (be careful). We needed to discourage birds from landing and nesting on the 1.5" framing around some of our doors and windows. These spikes fit perfectly on such a narrow spot. I attached them with the included epoxy. Once in place the spikes are not very noticeable, although they are not invisible.
I recommend them to anyone looking to keep birds from landing or nesting on horizontal places."

Great product,

"Bought the product to put above a wooden swingset as birds were messing on the swings below everyday. Installed the product above the swings (single wide) with screws (not supplied) instead of the provided glue. To install with screws you are suppose to use the spikes double wide, therefore I drilled holes in the plastic. Also, I needed to becareful with the screws as if I pushed too hard I think the plastic would have cracked. Product works great, have not had any bird mess on the swings since."

100% effective on balcony railings,
March 26, 2007

"The Bird X spikes were 100% effective in keeping pigeons off a balcony in a luxury high-rise apartment building in the City of Newark, New Jersey. I’m sure the glue provided in the kit works, but I didn’t use it. Instead, I bought a pack of cable ties from a known national retail store. I used 2 ties per foot on the spikes, and ran them along the perimeter of the balcony railing.
I also bought some 1” hexagonal mesh chicken wire, 24” high, and ran it along the outside edge of the balcony railing. And I also used cable ties for the chicken wire. This stops pigeons from landing on the balcony edge and walking in. For the picture windows facing the balcony, I leave the blinds up, and this also deters them. They don’t like to roost on a window sill in front of a clear window, meaning one without any mini-blinds.
I previously tried an ultrasonic device that was a total failure.
Theoretically pigeons could still land, by air, right onto the balcony itself, BUT THEY DON’T. They must feel insecure, because the area is now semi-enclosed. In their own not-so-stupid bird brains, they realize that if they wanted to take off in a hurry, they would need to gain a couple of feet in height to clear the railing. This would take much more time than flying straight, and they know that a predator (or resident) could catch them.
Thanks to the Bird-X Bird spikes, now I can paint my balcony, install pots with landscaping, etc. I can actually enjoy my balcony and my unrestricted sunset views."
