PRE-INSTALLATION
No two bird infestation problems are exactly the same. Begin with research. Information related to the bird problem will have bearing on
the actual installation and its success:
Survey the birds.
Type? Population? Patterns?
Survey your property.
What do birds find attractive about your area? Can it be changed?
Remove all inducements.
Eliminate nests, fledglings, droppings, dead birds, and the residual scent. Also remove food spillage,
garbage, nesting material and other appealing items.
Maintain a clean, changing environment.
Continue to clean nests, debris and droppings.
Install early.
Install before "bird season" begins; it is easier to keep the birds away than to rout them out once they have already
established a living pattern.
Use products synergistically.
Different kinds of devices (add a visual device or a sound repeller) produce a synergistic effect -- in
combination the products yield much greater effectiveness than Stainless SPIKES
alone. You may find this necessary if there are
certain areas where it is undesirable or impractical to install spikes. This will maximize effectiveness throughout the entire property.
Consider alternate locations.
Apply to nearby locations where birds may go when they leave their current area.
Familiarize yourself with the legal and public relations environment.
Are there related environmental laws?
Precaution:
Although non-lethal, Stainless SPIKES’ actual projections are quite sharp. Wear protective gloves, and be careful during
installation and handling.
