getting rid of pigeons from roof ridges
In most situations the Defender Ridge Spike™ is the best solution to get rid of pigeons from roof ridges.
the problem
I need some help to get rid of pigeons that are causing problems by roosting on roof ridges as they are damaging tiles and their guano is unsightly.
the solution
Ridge spike bird deterrents prevent pigeons, seagulls and other large birds from perching on roof ridges. They have an angled base that fits directly and snuggly onto all angled ridge tiles. The Defender Ridge Spike™ from Jones and Son is made from stainless steel 304 grade wires that are 6 inches (150mm) high which protrude from a super tough Durolon polycarbonate base with a product warranty of 12 years. Each strip is just over 13 inches long (337cm) and prevents pigeons landing on all shapes and size of roof ridges to help get rid of pigeons from your property easily and efficiently.

how do i install it?
Before starting the job, assess the work to make sure that you can do it safely and without hurting yourself or others. If you have any doubts at all then please contact a specialist. Wear suitable protective clothing, dust mask, gloves, overalls etc.
Squeeze pigeon spike fixing silicone generously onto the base of the spike, about the size of your finger (10mm). Ensure the silicone is applied to both the inside angles of the Defender Ridge Spike™.
Stick the first row of ridge spikes as close as possible to the end of the ridge tiles, so the end is fully protected. Press down firmly to ensure full adhesion.
Every effort should be made to spike the full length of the ridge tiles. Using a hacksaw, cut the Defender Ridge Spikes™ into the correct size to finish off the run.
A word of warning : scaffolders, window cleaners, painters, contractors on ladders etc. can often damage bird spikes. Ask them to be careful whilst working as a slightly damaged spike can provide an ideal nesting or roosting spot for a bird. Any damaged spikes should be replaced before pigeons have a chance to move in.
