Deterrents

Our Deterrents collection covers two practical property-protection categories: bird deterrent spikes and skate deterrents. Bird spikes discourage birds from roosting and fouling ledges, gutters and beams, while skate deterrent studs, blades and plates protect ledges, benches and rails from skateboard damage, making this range relevant to facility and property managers dealing with either issue.

What's included:

• Bird spikes: Anti Bird Stainless Steel Spikes in wide format (50cm and 100cm strips) and narrow format, plus Gutter Bird Spikes shaped for gutter profiles
• General pest deterrent spikes: Pest-X Spikes as an additional roosting deterrent option
• Skate deterrents: Skate Deterrent Studs, Skate Deterrent Blades and Skate Deterrent Plates for fitting to ledges, rails and street furniture

Use cases:

• Councils and property managers: preventing bird roosting, fouling and associated mess or damage on ledges, signage and gutters
• Retail and commercial building owners: protecting ledges, benches and low walls from repeated skateboard grinding damage
• Facilities teams: fitting deterrents to existing structures without needing to rebuild or replace them

FAQs

Do bird spikes harm birds?
No — stainless steel bird spikes are a humane deterrent designed to make a surface uncomfortable to land on, discouraging birds from roosting or landing rather than causing them harm.

Which bird spike format should I use?
The wide-format spikes (available in 50cm and 100cm strips) suit broad ledges and beams, the narrow format suits tighter surfaces, and Gutter Bird Spikes are specifically profiled to fit into guttering.

How are skate deterrents fitted?
Skate Deterrent Studs, Blades and Plates are designed to be fixed directly onto existing ledges, rails or benches, physically preventing a skateboard from grinding along the edge.

Are these products suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, both the stainless steel bird spikes and the skate deterrent hardware are intended for exterior installation and are made from durable materials suited to ongoing outdoor exposure.
