getting rid of pigeons from chimney pots

In most situations the Defender Chimney Pot Spike™ is the best solution to get rid of pigeons from chimney pots.

the problem

I need help to get rid of pigeons or seagulls from my chimney pot as they are causing damage to the chimney pot itself and there's also an unpleasant build up of guano.

the solution

You can buy chimney pot spikes which get rid of both pigeons and seagulls by preventing them from landing without hurting them. The spikes come in complete units ready to attach in seconds. They're made of flexible strips of spikes with an overall length of 3.5 feet (107cm) which wrap around the chimney without use of adhesive and there's no need for extra tools. They can even be used on square pots.

The Defender Chimney Pot Spike™ from Jones and Son is used by most pest control companies and councils in the country and are the product of choice for protecting your chimneys. Chimney sweeps love them as their brushes can push past then retract with ease. Other devices on the market that fit inside the pot are easily knocked out by the shove of the chimney sweep's brush.

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.

Wrap straps around the top of the chimney pot, pull tight and hook the spring into one of the fixing holes.

The strip simply wraps around any shape or size of chimney pot, square or round, small or large. For smaller pots it simply overlaps itself and for very large pots simply join 2 straps together. The powerful spring locking clip and serrated strap means that slippage is virtually impossible.

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.
