Bird Flite Pro Spikes

Bird Flite is the brand name for Bird Barrier’s Bird Spikes line of spikes. They are similar to most brands of bird spikes but offer a few nuances including design differences, spike array placement, and pricing.

Bird Flite Types

You can get bird flite in polycarbonate plastic (which is semi-transparent). Stainless steel bird spikes are also available, but are more expensive. They are generally more expensive because they last longer, are more effective, and can withstand more pressure from larger birds and animals.

Bird Flite Materials & Specifications

Bird Flite are made with stainless steel spikes attached to a polycarbonate plastic base. The plastic base allows for flexibilty in application, so you can apply it along curved surfaces.

Basic Information

Bird Spikes

Devices like bird spikes are used in the bird control industry to keep birds from landing on things. They keep pest birds from roosting and therefore fall under the “roost inhibitor” category of bird control products.

The theory is simple: birds will not want to land on sharp needles. Most of the time, they are smart enough not to try and land on or in a set of spikes, but even when they do try (when shelter or food desire is great enough) they are greeted with a prick from the spikes, or cannot find a comfortable way to roost within the bird spikes matrix.

Please note that there are always exceptions to this. Sometimes birds will be able to roost within a spikes matrix, or they may sacrifice their own comfort if their desire to roost or eat is extreme.  Barring these rare exceptions, bird spikes are reported to be the most effective method in stopping birds from roosting in specific areas and ledgings.

Spikes are also known as:

• Bird Strips
• Bird Control Spikes
• Bird Spike Strips
• Bird Needles
• Roof Spikes
• Gutter Spikes
• Bird Nail Strips
• Bird Nails

Spike Materials

In general, all spikes are the same:  a set of spikes set on a base mounting  strip. There are a few variations of spike strips based on materials and dimensions. In most cases, the spikes themselves are made of polycarbonate (plastic) or metal (stainless steel or aluminum). The base of the spikes can be made of either metal or plastic. Spike bases that are made of plastic tend to be more flexible and can be installed on plain surfaces.

Bird Spikes Widths

Spikes come in a variety of widths, from narrow (2″), regular(5″), and extra wide (7″+) to accomodate different surface requirements. A narrow surface like a window sill might require the narrow strips, while someone trying to apply spikes to signage and large surface areas may want to use the wide or extra wide sizes of spikes.

Top Bird Spike Manufacturers

There are many companies that manufacture and sell bird spikes, including Bird-X, Bird B  Gone, Nixalite, and Bird Barrier. These companies all have their own variation of bird spikes.
