INTRODUCTION

Stainless SPIKES Needle Strips is the latest bird control product from Bird-X, recognized worldwide as the Bird Control "X-Perts" since

1964. We are the only company anywhere that sells a complete line of bird repelling products, including ultrasonic and sonic sound

generators, visual scare devices, roosting inhibitors, netting and taste aversions. New product development is ongoing. Our sales

consultants analyze problems and make recommendations based on each customer's specific needs.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT AND HOW IT WORKS

Needle strips are a simple, humane, maintenance-free, long-term solution to pest bird problems, and have been used on buildings and

structures worldwide to eliminate roosting and nesting surfaces and landing strips. Birds avoid alighting on the spikes as humans avoid

walking on a bed of nails – the spikes are not lethal, just extremely uncomfortable.

Stainless SPIKES is a base mold of transparent polycarbonate, with two types of spiked projections: stainless steel projections protrude

up and out (angled) to both sides; a central row of polycarbonate projections protrude straight up. There are three variations:

Regular alternates wide stainless steel projections (4.5” spread) with narrow stainless steel projections (1.75” spread) and a central row

of straight-up polycarbonate projections.

Slim Stainless SPIKES has only the narrower stainless steel projections (1.75” spread) in order to cover ledges less than 2" wide, plus a

central row of straight-up polycarbonate projections.

Extra-Wide alternates wide stainless steel projections (4.5” spread) with extra-wide (7” spread) AND narrower (1.75” spread) stainless

steel projections, plus a central row of straight-up polycarbonate projections.
