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)

I keep a LOT of plants, and where I’m at is basically a bird sanctuary. It’s quiet, lots of trees, no predators, and plenty of folks with bird feeders. For whatever reason they love my porch (I guess my the plants) and every year they hang out on my plant stands and SCREAM at each other, hormones blazing, territories to be disputed...That doesn’t bother me at all and my cats love it, but what bothers me is they crap all over all of my plants underneath them while they do it. By the end of summer it’s literally insane.. they still perch on the cages I use, and that’s on me to find a better system, but this is the only thing I’ve found that keeps them from covering absolutely everything in bird poop. It doesn’t solve the problem 100% but that’s because of the cages they can sit on anyway, but the difference between the spiked ones they can get on and the ones they can’t is huge. I bought some last year, and ended up needing three more and didn’t hesitate to get them again.Are they the most pleasant thing to look at? Hell no. But it’s better to look at them than have to deal with handling my plants covered in bird poop when I need to pot them or bring them in to avoid rain or for the winter. And listen guys.. I’m not exaggerating when I say my plants.. get.. COVERED!!!Also, they’re easy peasy to put together. I do wish there were two holes side by side where they have for nails or zip ties because attaching them to the bars would be way easier and uniform. Admittedly, I could probably make that myself, but do any of us really need ANOTHER thing to have to do in 2025?Overall, I definitely recommend.

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.

I can't recommend bird spikes enough-they've completely solved my bird problem. I had issues with birds constantly landing on my balcony and even trying to fly into the screened area. It was frustrating and messy. After trying a few other methods that didn't work, I finally installed birds' spikes from Amazon. They've been a game changer. They're easy to install, barely noticeable, And most importantly effective. birds no longer perch on my balcony railing or attempt to get into my screened space. Out of all the options out there-scare devices, repellents, noise makers-this is the only real solution that actually works. If you're tired of dealing with persistent birds and want a long-term fix, bird spikes are 100% worth it. No more diseased droppings, no more noises, no more stress. Just peace and a clean bird-free space! Thank you, bird spike Seller,

I purchased the 5.1-foot length kit. It came in six sections (about 10-inches in length each) with 15 curved spikes that nicely snapped into the holes provided on each of the six sections. This required more than "some assembly required", it was "a lot of assembly". There was a total of 90 spike pairs to insert, requiring quite a bit of dexterity. I wouldn't recommend it if you have issues with hand strength, arthritis, or such ... unless you have someone to help. At this point, I don't know how well it will work deterring birds from the sill above our front door. Hoping it will be worth the effort assembling and installing them all.

These spikes really work. I have a raccoon and squirrel problem. I put them on the pole that supports my bird feeders. The raccoons and squirrels climbed the pole to get to the bird food. After putting these on the pole, I no longer had a raccoon problem but the squirrels just used them as a ladder to get up the pole so I put squirrel cones on the pole and that solved my problem completely. Now I feed only the birds and have other feeders for squirrels.
