Most of you know Lowe’s as the great home improvement store that it is. They carry an incredible amount of items for home  & garden as well as commercial/industrial tools.

Although their current selection is vast, Lowe’s does not yet carry bird spikes! Bird control is becoming an important part of any pest control operation for all industrial,commercial, and residential applications, so hopefully Lowe’s gets the picture soon and starts to integrate bird control solutions in its arsenal of products. There are bird spikes at Home Depot, but not currently at Lowe’s

Until Lowe’s starts to sell bird spikes, we’re going to recommend that you check out the spikes selection on Amazon. They have the best prices on new & used units in addition to incredibly fast shipping (which is one reason why they’re the biggest online retailer). It will save you time and money vs. wandering the long hallways of Lowe’s or any other super-mega-warehouse-store in search of nonexistant bird spikes.

Homemade Bird Spikes

Bird spikes are an invaluable tool in the battle to get rid of pest bird infestations. The first line of defense against birds is to provide a physical barrier to keep them from entering or landing. The two primary physical barriers are bird netting and bird spikes. If birds are roosting on very specific ledges or surfaces, spikes are usually the best option. If birds are inhabiting a large area and causing substantial damages, it may be prudent to invest in larger bird netting system. It would take forever to make your own bird netting, but there’s hope for you if you want to take a stab at making some bird spikes/nail strips.

NOTICE: If you’ve reached this guide with the intention to make your own homemade bird spikes strips, then you’re in the right place. But before you spend your valuable time, money, and hard work in making your own spikes, we’ve got to let you know that your best option is to buy bird spikes strips.

Home Made Bird Spikes Guide

Ok, you’ve checked out Amazon’s selection of dirt cheap bird spikes but you’re still set on making your own, so we’ll start the guide here:

*Disclaimer: this is non-professional guide for creating bird spikes. We do not claim any liability if you injure yourself,waste too much money, or end up with an ineffective bird spikes solution.

What you will need:

• Nails… get the longest you can find (click here if you need to order some)
  • *optional:  Nail Gun (here’s a good one)
• Strip of Wood – at least 1/2″ thick, 2 inches wide. Match to length needed
• Hammer
• Paint to match whatever surface on which you plan to install the spikes

Estimated project time: 1 hr for each foot of spikes

The Process

Step 1: Measure the area where you want to eventually install your spikes. Make sure you get the length as well as the width from the wall or back edge to the front edge of any ledging.

Step 2:  Set up the base strip, face down. You will be hammering the nails from the back side of your mounting strip so that the nails point outwards.

Step 3: Hammer the nails. Hammer two nails across from each other at opposing 45 degree angles (you want to get the “\/” shape this way). Using two angled nails will provide more coverage and effectiveness for your DIY spikes. You can even add an extra center spike for the “best” coverage. The nails in this arrangement will look like a “\|/”. Make sure you have enough width in your base to support a 3-wide nail setup.

Step 4: Optional Paint your base + nails to match the surface they will be installed on.

Step 5: Wait for paint to dry

Step 6: Installing your Bird Spikes
