Aerial Bird Spikes Installation

Installing Aerial Bird Spikes is an upgrade that should be high on your list of priorities when it comes to home improvements. This facility can provide you with a number of benefits. Whether you love animals or not, birds hanging from your roof can be a big problem. especially when they start interfering with your TV antenna or Satellite Dish reception. Installing bird spikes acts as a deterrent to birds attempting to nest on your antenna.

You can easily encourage birds to find another nesting site. The spiked texture and materials make it impossible for birds to perch on the areas where you installed the spikes. There is no doubt that installing bird spikes on your roof is definitely worth considering.

The reason pigeons perch on TV antennas is that they typically offer the very best vantage point. The solution and a way to stop pigeons here is bird spikes kit. Plastic bird spikes are best. It doesn’t interfere with the tv signal and is positioned so it cannot slip or droop upper side down.

Bird spikes are perhaps the easiest and quickest way to deter birds from perching on your roof and TV/radio antenna and are relatively inexpensive to purchase. Bird Spike are spikes that can be placed directly on the roof with silicone type glue and/or attached to the antenna with cable ties. Once in position, they make it difficult for birds to perch or walk on the television antenna. I recommend installing zip ties on any horizontal parts of your antenna that might provide a bird perch. This includes antenna boom, boom arm (if applicable), elements, reflectors and supports.

Securing the tv aerial bird spikes

Be generous with zip ties when attaching bird spikes to TV antennas as they can become brittle and break over time so you don’t want them to come loose. You might even consider putting on a few wraps of electrical tape.

You may also want to install bird spikes in areas close to the antenna, e.g. in and around the chimney and along the ridge shingles. You’ll need to use a special low modulus adhesive for this task as standard silicone doesn’t work very well. Vogelspikes come in different varieties, some are made of plastic and some are made of stainless steel. They come in varying numbers of spines and sizes, some are marketed for larger birds like gulls that you may have trouble with in your area, on the south coast they can cause a lot of trouble and other smaller spines are marketed for birds like pigeons.

Why Are Birds Roosting a Problem?

Allowing birds to roost on your roof may not seem like a big problem. They don’t appear to cause trouble, and listening to their singing in the morning can be pleasant. However, birds roosting on the roof can cause more issues than first meets the eye. Birds, such as pigeons, are happy to roost in the gutter or on the balcony and cause expensive damage to your roofing materials. What’s more, they can also carry diseases that put your health at risk. Even if you see no immediate problems, it’s in your best interest to get pigeon spikes installed.

Are Anti-Bird Spikes Effective?

Anti-bird spikes are a very effective way to get pigeons and other damage-causing birds off the premises. Birds will find it difficult to land in a comfortable place, and should they land on the spikes, they’ll find it impossible to stay on your roof. But not to worry, anti-bird spikes are not intended to hurt the birds, simply to deter them from roosting in an area where they may create trouble for home and business owners.
