Bird wire should be spaced at 1.5m intervals for pigeons and 3m for gulls. We recommend multi-lengths rows with a minimum of 2 rows however more rows are better. Rows should be spaced at 50-60mm for pigeons and 80-100mm for gulls. Anti-roosting spikes stand higher, once installed on a flat surface, than the wire-based system previously described so it will not be possible to install the spikes directly onto the sill as they will interfere with the window opening and closing. The anti-roosting spikes will therefore need to be installed directly onto the base of the frame of the window itself horizontally. Please note that the anti-roosting spikes will need to be glued/attached to the base of the wooden/UPVC/alloy frame of the individual window, not the window frame. This will ensure that when the window is closed the anti-roosting spikes will protect the windowsill and prevent pigeons landing on the sill. On a typical solar panel, use three solar panel pigeon proofing clips on each long edge of the wire mesh and two clips on each short edge. Post & Wire SystemThe Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is the UK’s Government body that oversees the Wildlife and Countryside Act to the surface with a high-quality adhesive. The main disadvantage of using this method is that the adhesive must be allowed to ‘cure’
to all windowsills and architectural features. The system was recommended by an established pest control contractor. The wide windowsills and architectural The industry standard method of protecting exposed pipework is to use anti-roosting spikes. A good quality spike should be sourced from a reputable company on the Internet and the product can then be DIY installed as described above. A far simpler method of protecting a balcony of this type would be to use pigeon deterrent anti-roosting spikes. This product can be installed as a DIY installation by the occupier and should only take a matter of minutes once the appropriate anti-roosting spikes have been sourced. A high quality anti-roosting spike should always be used and, ideally, sourced from the Internet. An alternative to a conventional anti-roosting spike would be to install a pipe spike. The benefit of a pipe spike, particularly the Defender Pipe Spike™, is that it comes ready fitted with all the fixings required to install the product in seconds. An electronic pest chaser is easy to install – simply plug it in and place it where you want it. In no time at all, you’ll have deterred many pests from bothering you. 4. Bird Repellent GelThe coil is made from wire and is simply placed along ledges and other areas where you don’t want pigeons to land.
Spacing between the final row and the wall (or the rear edge of surface to be protected) – no more than 26mm Another common roosting area on the roof of a property is under the roof and/or gutter overhang of a dormer window in the ‘V’ that is created where the roof of the dormer window meets the main roof of the property. This area is an ideal roosting environment for pigeons as it will provide protection from the elements at the same time as being at roof height and therefore free from most forms of predation. Due to the angle of the slope of the roof these areas are rarely ever used for nesting.
This kit includes the following items and is sufficient to install a double run of wire on a surface of up to 180-metres: features were protected with numerous rows of post and wire pigeon wires. Although the system appeared to have been installed correctly, retaining the aesthetics of the
The posts are available in various sizes and stainless-steel split pins can be used to fix the wire into window reveals. The posts, springs, wires and split pins are made of corrosion resistant 316-grade stainless steel. This is often seen as being the most conventional of all window types but with UPVC becoming so popular and often using centrally-hinged or top/bottom-hinged windows that open in and out the side-hinged window is becoming rarer. Whether you have a single side-hinged window or a double, installation is the same. Assuming that the gap between the base of the window (when open) and the sill is greater than 3” then the provision of wires spanning the sill from one side to another, as described for sash windows, will be the most effective DIY pigeon deterrent option. If, however, the clearance between the base of the window when open and the sill is less than 3” then another option will need to be considered. If they aren’t landing there, they aren’t pooping on the building, leaving you with a big clean up job. The more realistic the decoys, the better they work. In many cases, medication is needed to remedy the illnesses contracted from pigeon droppings and in serious cases, the infections can lead to further health problems or death. When pigeons are roosting, they can also damage air conditioning units, solar panels and other machinery that is kept on the roof of your property. This can lead to costly repairs and other issues.In the town of Solihull, West Midlands, a large Council-owned Victorian building in the town centre was pigeon-proofed with an extensive post and wire pigeon wire system Most types of external pipework are installed close to the wall of a building, normally at a distance of approximately 1 to 2” (2.5-5.0 cm) and will normally be either horizontal or vertical. It is, of course, the horizontal pipework that will need to be protected, although any spans of pipe that are provided at a passive angle may also need to be protected. Any pipework provided at an angle of 45 degrees or more need not be protected. Again, like all other exclusion techniques, ultimately a slide will simply move the bird to another convenient location in your structure. If that is all you need, physical exclusion could be the answer to your pigeon problems. If you need more than what is described here, you may need to consider abatement strategies (such as pigeon birth control) to reduce the bird numbers to an acceptable level.
