Environmentally-friendly bird control company uses 100% recycled materials for Spikes

Spiked needle strips have been used for decades to prevent birds from alighting on rooftops, ledges, sills, building projections, trusses and beams, balconies, tree branches, airport directional signs, boats and boat docks, electrical lines, air conditioners, public transit stations, garages and more. Their popularity is due to their ease, cost-effectiveness and permanence.

Bird-X's Spikes are engineered of 100% post-industrial scrap plastic. Discarded plastic products are ground, formed into pellets, melted, dyed, and molded into brand new products, in this case, spikes. The "recycled" materials provide a high quality end-product for a significantly lower cost than their prime virgin counterparts, and the source of these economical "raw" materials for production is virtually endless. This reduces the flow of usable materials to landfills, reduces dependency on new materials, and cuts the environmental side-effects of producing them.

The spikes themselves project up and out from their base at varying angles to prevent bird landing and roosting. Outer spikes have additional spiked branches to offer full, dense coverage. Birds avoid surfaces treated with Spikes think barbed wire for birds. The transparent polycarbonate plastic material is durable, weather- and UV-resistant, and unobtrusive. It is flexible enough to install on straightaways, curves, corners or irregular surfaces. Modules are one foot long, nest for easy handling, and affix to any surface using adhesive, screws, nails or wire ties.
