Bird spikes, bird scarers and pigeon deterrents

The right bird deterrent depends on the problem. Pigeons roosting on ledges, roofs and solar panels need physical proofing such as spikes or mesh. Birds stripping fruit and veg respond well to visual scarers such as reflective tape and windmills. Everything here is humane and harmless to birds.

Our top picks
• LELYFIT Pigeon Spikes: stainless-steel spikes for ledges, sills and walls
• Bird Proofing Mesh & Clip Kit: for solar panels and gaps where pigeons nest
• OFFO Bird Scare Tape (100m): the cheapest way to protect fruit trees and veg rows
• Reflective Bird Windmills (4-pack): easy, decorative protection for seedlings and beds
• ISOTRONIC Ultrasonic Bird Repeller: battery-powered, for sheltered balconies and sheds

How to get the best results
• Clean droppings and old nesting material away before fitting spikes or mesh.
• Move visual scarers every few days so birds don’t get used to them.
• Never block birds into an active nest. Wild birds’ nests are protected by law in the UK.
• Remove food sources such as open bins and spilled bird seed.

When to call a professional: for large roofs, high buildings or commercial premises where fitting proofing safely needs access equipment.
