OFFO Bird Spikes with Stainless Steel Base, Durable Bird Spikes Arrow Pigeon Spikes Fence Kit for Keeping Small Bird, Crows and Woodpeckers Away, Covers 17 Feet(5.2m)

Compact packaging of product means light assembly required. Mounting variable via pre-drilled screw holes (screws not included), cable ties (included), or adhesive of choice (not included). Individual units can be cut to fit your application. I used silicone caulk to mount on transom shelf over my front door for easy removal after nesting season. Can be left in place year-round, as composition is entirely stainless steel. Much lower cost than similar product sold at hardware store.

Easy to assemble and work like a charm. We did not want to hurt the birds, just keep them off the crown molding over the front door. Perfect solution. Once assembled, the strips make it impossible for the birds to land on the cornice over the door.

Purchased these to help with doves and finches (I think they're finches), but particularly the doves, that ignore the many available trees and prefer to build their nests around my leaders, soffits, and ledges. Live and let live, but these birds are messy and I refuse to allow a nest on a ledge over my front door, which was just starting when these spikes were delivered. I applied these stakes on the ledge with some Gorilla indoor/outdoor two-sided tape. I then applied the stakes to other popular nesting areas around my property - and fingers crossed - this seems to have done the trick. Two straight days with no birds. I have previously tried plastic spikes and the dummy owl - neither was effective long-term, I am cautiously optimistic that these will be more effective. Use some caution assembling these spikes - between the spikes and the base - it's easy to assemble but if you don't pay attention or accidentally grab them the wrong way they can cut you.

Easy and Effective!

Made in Japan, material is 304 stainless steel. Keeps bird from nesting or during storm and taking shelter making droppings. Easy to assemble.

The first two pictures are from 4 years ago and the last one shows the spike deterrents.In 2021 a pair of Robins built a nest on top of one of the lights that are on either side of the door on the front porch of my house. (See Picture #1)I had my doubts whether or not it would survive because of going in and out the door with the dog for walks and, of course, the frequent visit from the Amazon drivers. They constructed a nice looking nest, laid and hatched 3 eggs, but in a short time it was apparent that these were not the best nest builders. In the first picture you can see one of the chicks in pin feathers and one of the parents. Cozy looking, but the nest was actually tilting off to the side. I had to wire it to the fixture, but in no time it was apparent that this wasn't the fix it needed. It started to fall apart, baby chicks fell out, hitting the cement hard from 6' up. The babies were scooped up and put back in the nest, but the one chick was considerably larger than the other two and I suspect it was kicking the smaller ones out. Eventually the smaller ones disappeared.The nest fell off the light; I replaced it. Finally, I just got a silk fern in a pot on a raised stool to hold the nest (with my dog's cone of shame to keep the squirrels away) and the parents fed the surviving chick until it fledged.Not wanting to repeat this scenario, when evidence of nesting showed up this year, the material was removed. And the birds replaced it. I tried to put sticky tape on top of the fixture, but the birds removed it and replaced it with more nesting material. So I found these spikes and put them where the nesting materiel was being placed. The next day, there was no activity! The day after that, there was a string of foliage in the spikes, but they gave up and went to the light on the other side of the door! Now that one is also wearing a crown. These sure seem like they are going to be the fix I needed. But, these Robins are apparently very smart and determined!These were easy to put together and adhere to the light fixtures, wrapping around the part in back of the light that attaches to the house. What's nice about them is that while they are effective from the get go, they aren't obtrusive looking from the sidewalk and street.

Update: The crazy little birds figured out a way! Worked for a while but now they are back at it.So far so good! We have only had them a couple of days. My husband said a bird sat on the edge and looked at it and walked through it but it hasn't been back. He said for that one, he needs to move the spikes a little closer together. We bought the 5 feet option and had 1 strip left. The zip ties wouldn't work for us with our porch posts but they do have little holes in the strips. My husband just put a couple of small nails into the wood to hold them in place. He does not feel like the nails are damaging to our posts at all. So far it's working!

Unfortunately this didn't work for brown birds. Maybe it's because my roof is at angle and they would somehow get between there. But no problems with pigeons. But I took the spikes down and reconstructed the gazebo. That solved the problem.
