Defender® Narrow Plastic Pigeon Prevention Spikes

The Defender® Narrow Plastic Pigeon Spike is a great little invention for getting rid of pigeons from your home. Any narrow ledge, sill, or beam that has a depth of up to 7.5 cm (3 inches) can be protected from perching, roosting, or nesting pigeons and birds. As they are made of clear polycarbonate plastic, the narrow pigeon spike becomes virtually invisible once installed. They are also UV stabilised, so will continue protecting your property for years to come.

Long Life Expectancy

Durolon UV Stabilised Polycarbonate Plastic is used to manufacture the Defender® Narrow Plastic Pigeon Spike. This tough plastic ensures that all Defender® Pigeon Spikes can stand up to extreme weather conditions without yellowing or becoming brittle. With this in mind, these pigeon prevention spikes come with a confidence-boosting 15-Year Warranty for UK installations. No other UK manufacturer of pigeon spikes offers this.

Silicone Fixing Holes

The base of the pigeon prevention spike has 20 evenly spaced holes along the base. When the narrow pigeon spikes are siliconed onto a ledge, the adhesive oozes through the holes. Almost instantly this locks the pigeon spike into position. Of course, these holes are ideal to use if the bird spike is to be screwed or nailed into position too.

Snappable Sections

The Defender® Narrow Plastic Pigeon Spike can be adapted to fit any length ledge. The base of the plastic bird spike has 10 breakable sections that are 3 cm or 1 inch long. Simply snap along the grooves on the base with your fingers and fix to the surface with silicone or your preferred fixing method. No specialist tools are required which makes installation quick and easy.

Defender® Narrow Plastic Pigeon Spikes - Key Info

Which birds are they suitable for?

  • Pigeons

The Defender® Narrow Plastic pigeon spike is designed for areas where pigeons or like-sized birds are perching during the day. These pigeon prevention spikes humanely stop pigeons from landing on these areas.

Where can I use narrow pigeon spikes?

The Defender® Narrow Plastic Bird Spike is a great solution for stopping pigeons from landing on any area with a depth of up to 7.5 cm (3 inches). Most commonly these are narrow walls, fences, pergolas, sills, ledges, balcony railings, and even around the top of trampolines and swings. The 8 mm wide base can easily be fixed to most surfaces using our Defender® Fixing Silicone Adhesive Glue or small screws or even cable ties. If the ledge width is 7.5 cm or more, simply attach a second row of spikes leaving as small a gap as possible between the tops of the pins. Alternatively, you may prefer to use one row of our Defender® Wide Plastic Pigeon Spikes that will protect ledges up to 15 cm (6 inches) and is ideal if the area is used for overnight nesting or roosting.

How do plastic bird spikes work?

The whole range of Defender® Bird and Pigeon Spikes are humane. The polycarbonate pins that protrude at angles from the base simply act as a physical barrier and visual deterrent to the pigeon, making it difficult for birds or pigeons to approach the ledge they previously used to perch on. The plastic pigeon spike pins do not injure the birds as they do not come into contact with them, the birds simply cannot get close enough to gain a foothold. They just move on to other more accessible perching sites.

How to install Defender Narrow Plastic Pigeon Spikes

How to install Defender Narrow Plastic Bird Spikes - Photographic Guide


Defender® Narrow Plastic Pigeon Spikes are very simple to fit ledges and surfaces that need protection from pigeons and birds. These Pigeon Prevention Spikes are lightweight enough to fix to pipes and beams using cable ties or, for a more long-term solution, they can be screwed or nailed to the surface using the small holes already in the base. We recommend using Defender® Pigeon Spike Fixing Silicone to attach the strips to the ledge for a quick, easy, and permanent fix.

Step 1 - Clean the Area: Make sure the area is clean, dry, and has no loose dirt or debris. For areas that are heavily soiled with bird droppings please see our "How to safely clean bird droppings guide" for more in-depth details.

Step 2 - Fixing Methods: We would always recommend using Defender® Bird Spike Fixing Silicone to attach the strips to the ledge for a quick, easy, and permanent fix. The prevention spikes are light enough to fix to pipes, pergola beams and railings using cable ties. Simply wrap a cable tie around the spike and the railing and pull tight. A cable tie at either end of the strip should be sufficient. They can also be screwed or nailed onto wooden surfaces using the small holes already in the base. Again, one screw at each end should be enough to hold the pigeon spike in place.

Step 3 - Silicone: Defender® Bird Spike Fixing Silicone should be applied along the base of the bird spike, a 5 mm bead should be sufficient for most surfaces. Push the spike down firmly into position. The base of the spike has 20 evenly spaced holes, so when the pigeon spikes are siliconed onto a ledge, the adhesive oozes through the holes, locking the pigeon spike into position. The silicone we supply can only be dispensed using a caulking gun which is not included. If you do not have a caulking gun we have them available to purchase here and we also have a handy guide on "How to use a Caulking Gun" if you haven't used one before.

Step 4 - Positioning: The outside pin should slightly overlap the outer edge of the ledge so stopping pigeons and birds from being able to land or gain a foothold. Most fences and pergola beams are between 2.5 cm – 5 cm in width, so position the spike in the centre. The 8 mm narrow plastic base is flexible along the length and this means it can be fitted along a curved surface, such as an ornate fence or trellis if required. It may need additional screws or cable ties to hold it in position on the curve.

Step 5 - Full Protection: If the ledge is wider than 7.5 cm, a second row may be needed. Install this row so that the pins almost touch. Repeat the process until the area is fully protected. Every effort should be made to spike all possible landing sites 2.5 cm or greater. The Defender® Narrow Plastic Pigeon Spike can be snapped into smaller pieces, making them fit any length ledge. The base of the plastic bird spike has 10 breakable sections that are 3 cm long (1 inch). Simply snap along the grooves on the base with your fingers, no specialist tools are required, making installation quick and easy.
