Bird Spikes
Bird spikes have been used as an effective bird control method for many years. They work by stopping pest birds from sitting (perching) in their desired area for roosting or loafing searching for food.

Why choose Invicta Environmental?
- IPAF/PASMA trained staff
- BPCA accredited bird control technicians
- Experts in bird management programmes
- CSCS certified technicians
- National bird proofing service
- Safety critical experts
These areas tend to include shop fronts, ledges, gutters, and pipes. Invicta use bird spikes as an effective bird proofing method, protecting our clients from the noise, mess, disruption, and of course the health risks birds and their excreta cause to customers and staff.
Furthermore, from a commercial point of view, guano (bird poo) can cause significant damage to buildings and stock, resulting in cleaning costs and lost revenue.
The Benefits of Bird Spikes
Bird spikes come in two different forms, plastic and metal. Both materials effectively stop pest birds, including pigeons and gulls, from perching in their desired area. So, let’s look at the advantages of your business if you choose bird spikes as a control method.
- Spikes tend to have a long-lasting effect on the problem area
- They are very environmentally friendly for environmentally conscious companies
- We can stick them to any surface (Brick, Metal, Wood or Plastic) when installed correctly
- Bird spikes are a cost-effective solution compared to some other bird control methods
Bird spikes do not harm birds in any way; they stop them from using the spiked area as a nesting or roosting ground.
Invicta’s Bird Control Process
Invicta will attend your site to investigate what species of bird is causing you issues. We will listen and understand your goals when it comes to bird control to ensure we give you the best possible suggestions.
After attending the site, we will produce a detailed survey report outlining what we recommend to keep your site bird free. Within the report, we will include the costs of each of our bird proofing suggestions.
Once we have agreed on a plan with you, we will book a date to attend the property and carry out our pest control work. Risk assessments, method statements, and copies of our team’s training certifications will be sent over before we attend the site to carry out the work.
Our fully trained bird control teams will attend site to complete the work agreed. We will then invite the site contact to inspect the work and a detailed report will be emailed over to show that all the bird control work has now been completed.
How much does it cost to install bird spikes?
Bird spikes are an affordable option to control a range of pest birds. However, when calculating a price for the installation of bird spikes, a few factors need to be discussed, so it is best to call us.
Our office team will ask for photos of the property and potentially arrange a site survey if needed. Next, we’ll calculate the cost of bird spikes per meter (species of bird depended), but it is vital to proof all areas as the birds will move to the next attractive spot.
Furthermore, we’ll need to understand how we will access the area for installation. For example, on some sites, it is possible to proof using ladders, but others require a boom lift or similar. All our technicians are IPAF trained and can operate the machinery needed to complete a full install of the systems.
Finally, bird guano is highly acidic and carries dangerous pathogens that must be cleaned up by a professional-grade disinfectant by a team with the correct PPE and ancillary safety devices. We’re highly experienced in managing the removal of bird guano from buildings and ensuring this is done in a safe and effective way.
