First step is evaluating the affected areas and identifying where birds are landing, nesting, feeding, and entering the structure. We also look for nearby food, water, shelter, and alternative roosting locations that may contribute to the problem.

Different bird species respond differently to deterrent systems. Correct identification helps determine if spikes are an appropriate solution, spike height, width, spacing, material, and placement.

We will measure the landing surfaces and determine how many rows are needed. Leaving uncovered space behind or beside the spikes may allow birds to continue using the area, so complete coverage is important.

Bird droppings, nesting material, loose debris, grease, and deteriorated adhesive should be removed before installation. Proper surface preparation helps improve attachment and reduces odors and biological material that may continue attracting birds.

Depending on the surface, bird spikes may be installed using mechanical fasteners, clamps, brackets, specialty adhesives, or other approved mounting methods. The attachment method is selected to provide secure coverage while limiting unnecessary damage to the structure.

After installation, the system is checked for gaps, loose sections, uncovered landing areas, and interference with drainage, maintenance access, electrical equipment, or moving components.
