PRE-INSTALLATION No two bird infestation problems are exactly the same. Treat yours as you would any well engineered project, and begin with research. Success depends on timing, organization and diversity. Collect and consider information related to the bird problem that may have bearing on the actual installation and its success: Survey the birds.
INSTALLATION SPIKES can be mounted on any surface whether flat, curved or irregular, and on any material, whether masonry, metal, canvas, glass or wood. Stackable 12" units affix quickly with SPIKES Special Adhesive, screws, nails, wire ties, etc. Because each unit is exactly one foot long, measurement of the area to be protected quickly yields the number of units needed. A unit may be cut easily to fit lengths less than 12".
can lay each unit upside down (base side facing up) on the surface, in the place it is to occupy. Working along the line, the installer can apply adhesive to each base, then turn the unit over and affix it to the surface. SPIKES Special Adhesive is available from Bird-X, call 312-2262473. One tube will affix approximately 20 linear feet of SPIKES. Screws: Use #12 flat Phillips-head screws and a screwdriver with a shaft of at least 4". Nails: Use 1/8" nails and a nail set.
concave and convex curves. Bell Towers or Domes: As SPIKES is very flexible, the bell can be covered with multiple strips of SPIKES radiating outward and downward from the highest point of the dome. Statues, Columns, Cornices: Apply to base, and around head, arms, curves, crevices and openings. Roofs: Apply to roof perimeter, chimney, antennae, and the ridge on a gabled roof. Apply SPIKES to the inside of a chimney, with the projections facing horizontally inward, to prevent animals from entering.
