Defender Plastic Anti-Bird Spikes Pack | 30 m with Glue | Pigeon Control Guide | Various Size Packs
Clean the surface…
All packs include a 40-page Bird Control Guide, which features a in-depth bird spike installation guide. We recommend reading this before starting installation.
STEP 1: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from bird droppings.
Apply the glue…
STEP 2: Squeeze a 10 mm bead of Defender Fixing Silicone along the base of the spike. A thicker bead may be necessary if the surface is un-even. A caulking gun will be required if using but is not supplied.
Push down on to ledge…
STEP 3: Place the spike towards the front of the ledge and push down firmly. The glue will ooze through the fixing silicone holes, locking the spike in to position. For wider ledges, two or more rows may be required or consider using Defender Wide Plastic Bird Spikes.
Snap in to smaller pieces…
STEP 4: Every effort should be made to spike all possible landing sites that are 5 cm or greater. The spikes can easily be snapped to size, along 9 patented grooves, using your fingers. The spikes are also flexible, and if screwed or cable tied can accommodate a curved surface.

I had a major problem with a flock of 32 Doves/Pigeons sitting on the edge of my bungalow roof and depositing droppings all over our garden patio. Our window cleaner suggested these spikes and he fitted them in about half an hour. Easy to do if you can get up a ladder to do it. To my surprise they work and our patio is now clean. The birds remain in the area but have sought an alternative perch. I am very pleased as this has proved to be quite a simple solution to what had seemed to be a very difficult problem.
I used these on the bottom of the balcony rails to keep the pigeons from getting in underneath the rail. They also work well in the corners of the balcony area as the pigeons like to sleep there
Protected part if the fence last year with this product and worked great – unfortunatelly birds started using the part that has no spikes, so bought more to cover the res
Bought these to put on my fence as i fitted some artificial grass and the pigeons kept doing their business on the grass.
Since fitting i have had no more issues and with being clear plastic they look good.
We are very pleased with our purchase as we have a problem with seagulls in this area being by the coast. The spikes look fine on our roof, but the glue was just about sufficient for the length of installation. Would definitely recommend for anyone who has problems with large birds trying to nest around chimney stacks or perching on the ridge tiles.
These are plastic spikes and certainly not “heavy-duty”, but they’ve done the job of stopping wood pigeons sitting on (and messing on) my greenhouse ridge. Very easy to stick on. I would recommend.
I got these to stop a huge great wood pigeion from landing on and in my windowbox after the bird food. I got the narrow ones and broke them up into pieces to put between the plants held in place with toothpicks. Do the job perfectly interspersed with barbeque sticks. Sticking to the edge of the box though you really need to get some silicone glue or plastic to plastic glue. This company do some but it is huge bottles and you need one of those holder squeezer things.
Easy to install, solved the problem immediately and didn’t interfere with the TV signal when installed on the aerial.
I have a static caravan near trees which seems to attract pigeons wearing boots. Since installing this product the roof is still landed on but not nearly so often and we are able to cope with their noise much better. They’ve stayed attached now for 2 years despite the Northumberland weather – the roof can get scorching hot in the summer sun and sees it’s share of rain and wind.
To stop pigeons nesting on my sky dish it was just right. Not too spikey to handle
Really good instructions and information alongside easy installation make this a highly recommended product. Since putting it onto my pergola there hasn’t been a single bird messing the place up.
Installed this on the pergola 6 days ago, and so far it has worked, no more pigeon poop on the decking. Was really easy to install, took about 1 hour. Really pleased with the result, was so fed up of cleaning the decking every single day. Definitely recommend.
Bought for a nursery school where a sloping roof eave had become a favoured roosting spot for pigeons, and their poop was creating a bio hazard in the playground. I cleaned the ledge of waste, found the spikes easy to cut with pliers to shape the first strip to fit in an awkward corner, and fitted the remainder in a double row. The glue was easy to apply using a caulking gun, and job was done in a few minutes. All the proof I needed was that all spikes are still intact a month later – not broken – and stuck where I installed them, no pigeons, no mess. Time will tell how long they last up there, but so far I’m very pleased with the swift delivery, the ease of use , and the results . I definitely recommend this product – it worked !
These were so easy to put up, and worked very well, no more pigeons! They look good as well no unsightly.
dont think theres enough silicone in the kit to install it all
These spikes were very easy to fit and have prevented bird guana staining and causing disease around certain areas of the garden.
These are a great Detterent for keeping pigeons of my fence, easy to fit and not harmful to the pigeons or any other birds, which were constantly fouling on my decking
No more bird poop whoop whoop!! Total game changer, well worth the money.
I bought these to stop the birds sitting on my grandchildrens swing frame and leaving a mess everywhere. Did the job perfectly. Brilliant.
Pigeons were increasingly being attracted into the garden by seeds falling from garden bird feeder. Not much to be done but what the big problem was that they were perching along trellis fitted along sides of deck and the mess on the deck was unsightly, unhealthy not to mention expensive as the mess lifted the paint when cleaned off.
Enter Defender plastic pigeon spikes. Result, still pigeons around, but no perching on trellis and consequently no mess whatsover. First day or two the aborted landings provided entertainment, but the point is no birds harmed.
The pack is complete with correct glue cartridge (You will need a cartridge gun to use) instructionand booklet including pest birds prevention hints etc is in fact very interesting. I fitted using very small brass screws through the holes which run right along the base which worked perfectly. The ability of the spikes to be easily snapped enabled exact fit to length. Finally, the transparent plastic means the spikes are surprisingly unobtrusive. Excellent all round product.
These bird spikes were easy to adhere to fence and now the fence down the side of the house is no longer the local pigeon loo. Prior to placing these spikes the paving slabs near our garden shed were covered with pigeon poo which when dry is not good for anyone and certainly not for asthma sufferer. I am very pleased indeed.
It can be cut into small sections but not easy to simply break each section apart with fingers as it is too tough to do but rightly so as otherwise it would be to fragile for its purpose
No pigeons have landed on the pergola since these were put up. So no horrible pigeon mess on the patio.
They don’t look too bad either. Would recommend these.
Yep these did the job of pigeons finding somewhere else to land
Got these as fed up with with bird poop on the decking. Easy enough to cable tie to the bars of the shade sail. Easy to either snap or cut to size. Seem durable. Yet to see if they keep the pigeons away. Only gripe is I only got one tube of glue to do 15m of spikes. I suspect there would not have been enough glue had I needed to use it.
Ideal to stop birds landing on tv aerial and doing their business on driveway. Got roofer to fit them. So far doing the job. Good value for money.
Done the trick no birds on the tv aerial now and no bird mess on driveway
Arrived promptly, well packaged. Cannot use glue as suggested due to wind- so had to screw these in. Has kept the pigeons and magpies away – no ore cleaning pigeon poo
Will have to find a cure for Seagulls which are a nuisance, pooing as they fly over the house, the car….
Adhesive x fits in roof groove perfect it has stopped squirrels !
Good product – just up tonight though – lets hope the glue works
Had to fit these to tree branches. I used cable ties. They work well.
These are as expected and arrived very quickly, sooner than expected. We fixed them to the top of a wooden structure so used small nails/tacks rather than the glue. One week on and we’ve had no pesky pigeons pooing on our garden shelter – great result (and British-made, I believe which is a big thumbs up from us).
Used to stop pigeons nesting on my balcony. Have put them on the railing going around the balcony and on top of the wall which is just over the spikes height below the rail.I was constantly visited by pigeons all day long and as fast as destroyed their nests ,they built new ones as well as making an awful mess These spikes have worked!! I have been pigeonless for 2 weeks now. Absolutely brilliant.
Put these up on a friends sky dish to stop pigeons and has done the job we’ll
Strong spike. Glue sticks very well. No pigeons hurt after installing. No poo on my caravan decking.
Great product. Easily adhered to house guttering with either tie-wraps and/or ‘external no more nails’. Very transparent so hardly noticeable. Thank goodness for no more disgusting bird droppings and a clean satellite dish!
These definitely are a good deterrent. Conservatory roof has never been so clean.
Did the job for us stopping them sitting above the path.
I bought these to stop wood pigeons sitting on top of pergola… and it’s worked .We put them up with nails not glue & that works just fine.
I would definitely recommend this product!
Now my slabs no longer get covered in bird crap
We have 3 audio sonic repellants on the balcony the pigeons still land long enough to leave behind a trail of excrement. We brought twirling batons and hung them along the balcony the birds just laughed. We hung noisy metal defective strips but the annoyed us and the neighbours got tangled up and didn’t deter a single pidgin. They say pigeons are. Dry intelligent they were used to carry messages during World Wars they can recognise human faces. They are so intelligent they realise that if they try and land on our balcony again they will get stabbed with spikes. At last! Something has worked the kids can go out on the balcony and no more coo cooing first thing in the morning. Very grateful improved our lives A note: we used plastic ties to secure them to the railings as the landlord didn’t want us using glue they worked fine also the bonus of being able to lower them if we are using the balcony so not hazardous to humans
Good for keeping birds off window ledges . Easy to use.
Fitted to front and back of caravan roof.Stopped those pigeons from making their mess.
You need to have small nails to attach these to a fence,Which i already had,Really easy to put up,They actually work,Had problems with wood pigeons perching on top of the fence,And the mess that they make,Problem solved!
Attached to the TV ariel on my caravan to keep the pesky pigeons off!
I liked the fact that the product came in short lengths and that there was plenty of holes in the base rail for fixings. I like , even better , that the pigeons hate it.
easy to install most of all the pidgeons dont like em hooray
They do work but I thought they were metal spikes
Work well. No more pigeons on our roof or tv aerial therefore no more droppings on our patio
These work well. The pidgeons no longer use the kids swing as a toilet. The snap off sections are good so no cutting tools needed to get the right length. They have holes for nailing or screwing through but on this occasion I used a glue gun which works well. A good product that does the job.
I bought some tilers lats glued them to the fence with NoNails then the next day stuck them to the lats, they are great at keeping the messy pigeons away, i recommend them.
Great buy, and quick delivery , easy fix and has stopped birds mess on daughters. Swing.
Have bought this item previously. Great on roof edges and ridges and pergolas, etc. Stops pigeons pooing on your patio. Recommended.
Have done the trick…no more pigeons on my greenhouse. Light weight and supplied in easy length strips for glueing.
This may look a bit imposing at first but it did the job perfectly. The pigeons try to land but can’t…so no more bird poop on our decking. Would definitely recommend. Only negative is you need fairly narrow screws if you need to screw it in place, but that’s a small inconvenience for a great product.
Wasn’t quite sure what to expect, or whether they would work, but they did. Had problem with bird droppings in my very compact sitting area, …problem solved within one day. Fixed them to the top of the fence, didn’t look as intrusive as I expected, although the metal version might do. I’m so pleased with these. I didn’t glue these in place, adhesive can be purchased seperately, but screwed them in place. Useful booklet included with the spikes.
Attached then to the top of a wooden swing frame with 3.5mm screws with no problems because I was fed up cleaning Bird poo off the swings. Keeps the pigeons (although they’ve just moved onto the shed instead). They feel very sturdy and had enough flex in them to wrap over swing brackets without any breaking.
A neighbour kept feeding the pigeons and would not stop despite being asked, so I had a problem with the pigeons for a while. As long as they were getting fed they were never going to move on. I bought these spike strips along with a waterproof adhesive. The strips have ‘weak’ points along their length so they can be broken to suitable lengths to fit the window ledge. I first scrubbed the windows ledges to get rid of all the bird mess and provide a clean surface for the adhesive. The strips were easily fixed in place with the adhesive. I’ve had them in place for over a year now and they have worked perfectly. I no longer have problems with pigeons. Prior to that I couldn’t even open my windows because of them. In my case they have been 100% effective. I thought that the spikes might have broken or become brittle over time but they seem absolutely fine. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
I used three small brass screws to hold each section to the top of a wooden fence (I’ll keep the glue for DIY). Seeing birds getting to a few inches away and trying to reverse is a good laugh (if a little cruel). They work 100% and don’t harm the birds. TIP: make sure there are no gaps between sections, and a determined cat could probably snap the plastic spines and get past.
Very good they do the job we’ve have no more pigeon poo on our terrace in Spai
Brilliant ! Easy to install, works a treat – could do with some more !
I put these on my aerial on the roof with tie wraps.,( with the amusement of neighbours as I am 60 ) in a cross pattern on top of the metal cross beams,They are easy to cut to size with cutters as they are made from plastic..You get enough for most jobs, the spare ones I put along a wall with superglue and they are holding fast and the pigeons have gone. I would recommend them.
I have bought a second load of these because any adhesive will not work, I think this would work better if adhesive was included…please read the message propperly about which adhesive to buy…x
So far doing the job it was meant to do. Great. I’ve tried other detergents to no avail.
Have now replaced these with sharper metal ones that are more of a deterrent and don’t snap!
I installed these for a customer recently.
All of the ones adhered to the ariel fell off when a bad frost hit.
The spikes appear to be keeping the pigeons off the roof
Wasn’t sure about this product. Seemed a rather light plastic moulded job for the money. But by far the most important thing is that it worked, certainly for us. We had a problem with bird fouling (large birds too) on our caravan decking. This product worked a treat. So can fully recommend it.
Easy to fit to the caravan roof, which I chose to do with screws, and they have kept the birds away.
A good well made product with a good instruction booklet.
Used before and getting replacement spikes hoping pigeons aren’t so clever at ripping them off… never give up!!
Happy with product – used to deter pigeons on trampoline walls
Easy to use not for long time use as plastic. Got rid of someone’s homing pigeon from my bedroom window sill
These spikes were used to dissuade Pigeons from roosting on horizontal soil pipe runs. I used black cable ties rather than silicone adhesive. The spikes are effective and can be easily cut to length.
Have used these before in a previous home. Very effective so bought more.
Fitted using zip ties and a bead of hot glue where necessary.
Many government buildings and shopping areas using these in huge quantities.
Droppings are toxic and corrosive. Plastic spikes are a great deterrent.
Pigeon dirt is a nightmare for car paint surfaces. Let it harden at your peril!!!!
(Many years in auto trade)
very easy to use and easy to cut it as per the length you want. Don’t know how sturdy it is, but it did fix my bird problem.
Worked a treat on my balcony rails would use agai
Every year these lovely birds try to nest around the pillars at the back of our place. Yes they’re really cute but the mess ( guano) around them is just horrific. These worked perfectly. I did double up as swallows are smaller than pigeons and tried to get through the gaps but it was a doddle & we are bird pooh free
They do exactly as advertised. Put them on top of a fence that pigeons have made a roosting perch from and it was easy to secure them with small pins and/or cable ties. No doubt the glue supplied would work but I felt the method I used was more secure and longer lasting.
Very satisfied with product.
Small book supplied is very interesting too.
Brilliant at keeping those pesky pigeons away. I installed them along the corner of my fence where my garden furniture is, and I’ve not had a single poop on it since! These look vicious when you get them out the box but don’t be put off, the birds can see them so don’t land on them and they’re big enough so the cats can walk around them so they’re not going to be impaled! There is a booklet included which tells you all about keeping birds away from your garden which is very Handly and reassuring. I still welcome birds into my garden, just not to poop on my furniture!
Excellent and easy to fit – glad for the nail holes as it made fitting easy. VERY fragile and spikes snap very easily (I lost a few when hammering in fixing nails) but I just doubled-up in those areas.
I put the spikes on top of childrens swing and slide frame to stop the pigeons messing them. The pigeons dont like them! They are quite fragile so make sure they are secured well enough. I used tacks to secure them. Ordered on a Friday on the frame Sunday morning.
Not bad bird spikes, seemed a little thin but they have worked for what I needed them too. I had a problem with seagulls resting on the edge of our lodge and mess all over our decking NO LONGER.
I like the book included to help with your experience. It has some really helpful tips which I have not thought of it before…
I like the basic quality.
I found them hard to get a drill in between the spikes.
If you like the review please press the helpful button.
Severe pigeon problem solved! Thankyou very much absolutely perfect the glue supplied stucked the spikes straight away didn’t need screwing.
I used a lat and run them along…Covered full length needed…
Metal runners not needed…
Purchased to place in the gutter around my conservatory, where the pigeons settle just to annoy the cat who spends lots of time asleep in there! Since fitting, no pigeons have settled in the gutter, although they have tried! Hopefully they get the message that they are not wanted.
These are the real deal, excellent value package with the booklet being a great bonus. Although in the little known pigeon facts section the costliest pigeon needs updating, it’s now 1.1 million! Worth the money, the spikes that is, don’t know about the pigeon!
Fantastic product and did the job brilliantly. Only problem was I didn’t think about having the proper device to get the glue out of the tube. I improvised and all fine
I was pretty sceptic when I bought the first set but not any more. I have a fence that goes across my garden to section it off and it always had pigeons sitting on it and messing all over my plants and the fence itself it was disgusting and then squirrels would come and sit and peel bits of wood of it too. Now they cannot land on it and although the squirrels will try to walk across it from time to time they cannot stop and settle to pull off bits of wood anymore, mostly they avoid it altogether. Definitely recommend and have bought several boxes to do the whole lot.
Great product, a bit expensive but does the job! The amount in a pack is quite small though
I attached the spikes to our arbour roof with clear silicone sealant (the type to seal windows or sinks).
It only took about 15 minutes to do the job and it looks as good and as inconspicuous as you could expect for this type of product. It has worked, there is no bird dirt on the roof anymore and it was previously very heavily soiled.
Whilst this product has mainly solved our problem with feral pigeons with a bit of ingenuity in locating individual strips, the prongs are just a bit short to inhibit them from landing on a long flat surface.
These spikes stopped pigeons and magpies from covering our swing with their droppings. I used to cover the seat up to protect it but the swing is now looking great and can be used at any time.
I cable tied these great spikes to our TV aerial as the birds liked to use it as a spring board at about 5am each morning. They are brilliant and I now do not get awoken by the ‘twang’ noise. Great company and products and a really useful book was included as well. Highly recommended, thanks.
spikes themselves are actually OK but fitting them was a ‘mare. the fixing material did not work on any of our surfaces (nor did some other “adhesives”). where possible we nailed these in (holes provided in the strips)
Used these around a trampoline and along the gable end of my house. Easy to fix. Used cable ties on trampoline and the supplied adhesive on roof tiles. All been in place 2 weeks now.. no more pigeon poop all over the place! The pigeons are still around but now roost or spend most of their time in the trees like they should….
I bought this as I had a pigeon problem and couldn’t use screws or nails, the good thing I could trim the spikes to fit in tight areas where the birds were getting, the glue has worked perfectly to glue the strips in place
We are pestered by doves and wood pigeons but don’t want to stop all the song birds. We have used these spikes on our pergola this year to stop the pigeons tearing our wisteria apart. If you leave a small space without spikes they will still squeeze in. So don’t leave too big a space between strips. But the spikes are an easy first step deterrent. They are inconspicuous and blend in with climbing plants. I am sure that we will be purchasing more.
These spikes were Purchased to attach to a small ornamental garden pond to stop the birds drinking water and potentially eating my fish. They feel quite flimsy but are doing an excellent job in stopping large crows and pigeons perching where I don’t want them. I have found it difficult to purchase screws small enough to use but this is a minor irritation.
These spikes were only installed yesterday. So far so good.
Nice spikes installed these and as they are now up no pigeons are coming into the garden. I was in the garden installing these when a couple of wood pigeons did fly towards my fence but soon flew the other way when they must have noticed what I bring put up. It’s stopped birds pooping on my decking so it’s a lot more hygienic for my 2 baby’s to crawl along knowing they ain’t going to be picking bird poop up.
Certainly does the job. I should have bought spikes that were slightly wider to make certain that the pigeons definitely couldn’t get onto the swing beam. In the early days after fitting, a did see a pigeon try to get onto the beam (as it had done so, so MANY times before). It was successful, but was obviously a bit confused and couldn’t move much. It soon got fed up and left. No poo on my kids swing seats anymore so it has still done the job.
