Birdgo 100m 0.7mm Plastic Coated Stainless Steel Bird Wire - Discreet Prevention Wire to Stop Pigeons from Landing on Ledges

Product Information

Eco’s Bird Wire System consists of a fine, nylon-coated, spring-tensioned stainless-steel wire supported by stainless steel posts, which are fixed into stonework using nylon anchor rivets. Using plastic bird decoys on your home or business is an easy and safe way to keep pigeons from landing on the roof or ledges. Post & Wire SystemAll the fixtures and fittings required to undertake a tailor-made post and wire pigeon wire installation are available as separate items and normally The type of DIY system described for recessed balconies (wire or line suspended above the handrail) is a possible option for this balcony type but it will be considerably more difficult to provide based on the fact that the balcony has three external sides rather than just one. In most cases this system would be too complex to provide as a DIY option. The same applies to netting or meshing this type of balcony. It can be netted or meshed but it will be a complex installation. If wire mesh is used it will need to be made up and provided in panels (one for the front and one each for either side) and if nylon bird netting is used a steel retaining wire will need to be provided around the periphery of the recess, to which the netting would be hooked.

Bird repellent gel is super easy to use and is one of the most affordable methods of deterring pigeons you’ll find. It’s easy to apply to the surfaces where you want to keep pigeons from landing and it works really well. If a baton framework is to be used then the baton will have to be cut to form a frame that will fit comfortably onto the flat fascia of the window frame. The baton frame should then be offered up to the window frame and installed by drilling into the mortar joints and inserting a Rawlplug and screw. The frame should only require 3 or 4 screws to complete the installation as the frame will be supporting little weight. Once the baton is in situ, and it has been treated with a preservative or painted, the mesh can be stapled directly onto the baton. This completes the installation.posts. Spacing of the rows and posts is critical to ensure total protection is achieved. The following table indicates the rows of product that The difference between this method and the others is that you will have to relocate the pigeons once you’ve trapped them. In many cases, medication is needed to remedy the illnesses contracted from pigeon droppings and in serious cases, the infections can lead to further health problems or death.

They aren’t large enough to be a huge eyesore but will get the job done if you have too many pigeons bothering you on a regular basis. The spikes are highly effective and come in several sizes. 3. Electronic Pest Chaser Defender Ridge Spikes™The industry standard method of protecting ridge tiles is to use anti-roosting spikes. If the DIY option appears to be beyond your capability you may wish to install anti-roosting spikes as an alternative. This product is widely available and probably the most cost-effective commercially available option. Always be careful to source anti-roosting spikes from a well-known manufacturer to ensure a high-quality product. But where does the mess go? Into your gutter. Feathers, twigs, poo, the lot. Allow this to happen enough times, and you’ll have to get your drainpipes unclogged – not nice, not cheap.The wires are held in position by vertical stainless steel posts which can be inserted into 25mm masonry rivets or surface mounted in plastic bases. The posts are available in various sizes and stainless-steel split pins can be used to fix the wire into window reveals. The posts, springs, wires and split pins are made of corrosion resistant 316-grade stainless steel. If the horizontal base of the (wooden/UPVC) window frame itself is wide, as is often the case on period properties, it may be worth considering protecting this area with another wire as it is not uncommon for a pigeon to perch or roost on the base of the frame once the sill has been fully protected. This is particularly the case if the pigeon/s has been using the sill for overnight roosting for some considerable time or has previously bred on the windowsill. Pigeons are certainly not a problem in relation to scaring smaller birds away as they are one of the most passive species of wild bird, but pigeons will perch on buildings whilst waiting for food to be provided and this can cause soiling problems for property owners. Interestingly, it is common for pigeons to roost on the property either side of the garden in which the food is being provided and this can, in some cases, cause friction between neighbours. In more extreme cases this friction can develop into minor wars between neighbours and these can continue for years before a resolution is found. It is therefore always wise to be extremely aware of what species you are attracting by providing food and whether the birds that do visit your garden are causing problems for your neighbours. Also be aware that controlling pigeons once they have established a feeding pattern can be difficult if not impossible, particularly where the problem has become entrenched. Another area of your rainwater goods that may need to be protected from pigeons is the ‘hopper’, a V-shaped plastic or cast-iron funnel that connects your horizontal gutter to the vertical downpipe. Pigeons will use hoppers for both roosting and for nesting. It is common to find a pigeon nest built inside a hopper, particularly on period properties that have large cast-iron hoppers.

You also want to choose one that is sturdy and will stay in place if it’s windy or rainy outside. 2. Bird Spikes Traps are not as easy to install or use as other pigeon deterrents but can be highly effective when done correctly. Spikes come in a variety of shapes and materials - blunt or pointed, stainless steel or plastic, depending on your needs. There is also an abundance of suppliers and choices.

A bird net is a simple contraption to add to your building that keeps pigeons from perching on ledges or roofs. In some cases where PiCAS International has recommended the use of lofts to its clients the loft has been used as a means of containing pigeons in one place and then, at night when the birds are roosting, pest controllers have entered the loft and slaughtered all the birds within it. In each and every case where this has happened pigeons have steadfastly ignored the loft subsequent to the cull, rendering the facility useless. It is therefore important to understand that a loft cannot be used for the purpose of killing pigeons and if it is, both the loft and the resource that went into providing it will be wasted. This kit includes the following items and is sufficient to install a double run of wire on a surface of up to 180-metres: In the town of Solihull, West Midlands, a large Council-owned Victorian building in the town centre was pigeon-proofed with an extensive post and wire pigeon wire system
