Defender® Pipe Spikes for Pigeons

The Defender® Pipe Bird Spike has been designed to keep pigeons off pipes around your home and business. If you have pigeons roosting or nesting on pipes they can cause considerable damage and mess. Pigeons are prevented from landing on pipes by a pattern of 10 protruding stainless steel pins. This pigeon-proofing product is really easy and quick to install. The spike is placed onto the pipe that requires protection and fixed into position by the cable ties - no glue or additional tools are required.

Defender® Pipe Spike - Key Info:

What birds will pipe spikes work for?

  • Pigeons

Defender® Pipe Spikes are the best way to keep pigeons off pipes around your home. These pigeon prevention spikes will stop pigeons and similar-sized birds from landing on any kind of pipe. The pigeon control spikes come ready to install and require no extra fixings or glue - you simply tighten the non-slip cable ties around the area of piping which needs protecting.

Where should I use Defender® Pipe Spike?

The Defender® Pipe Spike can protect all kinds of pipes for example drainage pipes, heating, air-conditioning and even pipes covered with lagging. The cable tie will wrap around any pipe with a diameter of up to 125 mm or 5 inches. Defender® Pipe Spikes come in 33.3 cm (13 inches) lengths, so you will require 3 strips for each metre of piping you are trying to protect from pigeons or other birds. The strips also have snappable sections which can be broken off by hand if the spike needs to be reduced in length to fit the area you are protecting. This pipe spike comes ready assembled with integral serrated cable ties for easy installation.

How do pipe spikes stop birds from landing?

The pins on the spike make it difficult for the birds to land, and if they do manage to gain access, they will find them uncomfortable without being injured. They will simply move on to an easier nesting or roosting location. All of our pigeon-proofing and bird control products are 100% humane. They are even recommended by PiCAS as the most humane type of pigeon-proofing available on the market.

How to install Defender® Pipe Spikes

Defender® Pipe Spikes Installation Guide - Photographic Guide


Pigeons love to perch on areas that are high up on buildings to view the surrounding areas. Pipes such as water waste pipes, overflow, electrical conduits and gas line pipes are great examples of where pigeons perch on the outside of domestic and business premises. Installing Defender® Pipe Spikes will instantly stop the pigeons from being able to land and cause any further damage or mess.

Step 1 – Safety: Before starting the work on getting rid of birds from your pipes, please check for safe access. Only begin the job yourself if you can safely and competently reach the pipes that need to be bird proofed and you feel confident about using ladders to reach the higher areas.

Step 2 – Clean the Area: To ensure a close fit to the pipes, make sure they are free of any debris or old loose nesting materials. A simple brush should do the trick.

Step 3 – Fixing Methods: The Defender® Pipe Spike comes with cable ties already fixed to each end of the 333 mm strip so there is no need for glue. Sit the bird spike on the top of the pipe, wrap the cable tie around the pipe and pull through the end of the cable tie to fasten. Pull tight and it will hold the pigeon spike firm even on sloping exterior pipe work. The ends of the cable ties can be left in place or trimmed to create a neater appearance.

Step 4 - Positioning: If the length of the pipe doesn’t fit the strip exactly, the Defender® Pipe Spike can be snapped to create smaller sections. You may need to reposition the cable tie further along the new shorter-length spike.

Step 5 - Full Protection: The pre-attached cable ties will fit any pipe, square or round, that has a diameter of up to 125 mm (5 inches). If the pipe is larger than this, you can attach an additional cable tie to the original one to make it longer.
