We're often asked how to get rid of seagulls on your roof or boat. Seagull spikes can have a powerful deterrent effect helping to keep nuisance seagulls away. They can be installed on buildings, ledges, boats; in fact, just about anywhere.
These deterrents are also known as anti-seagull spikes, anti-bird spikes, anti roosting spikes or seagull control spikes.
How do seagull spikes prevent birds landing?
By installing seagull spikes in key roosting sites, nuisance seagulls will find it uncomfortable to land. Like all birds, gulls are fussy about where they choose to perch. They prefer somewhere up high, with excellent visibility to spot food and incoming predators.
Do seagull spikes cause pain to birds?
No. The spike tip is blunt. In fact, bird control spikes are recommended by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (R.S.P.B).
Won't the spikes look unsightly?
Anti seagull spikes are designed to have low visibility. In most situations, you'd have to be actively looking for them to spot them.
Installing seagull spikes
Seagull spikes come in two foot long sections that can be nailed, screwed or glued to a variety of different surfaces. As these are often up high, it is recommended that a professional do this for you.
