Product Description

When you pull this spike strip out of the box, what you see is already ready to go; OFFO Black Stainless Steel Bird 10 Feet Spikes for Pigeons comes as a fully constructed strip covering just over ten feet end‑to‑end. The stainless steel needles extend about 4 inches (100 mm) high and 3 inches (76 mm) wide, with six sharp-but‑blunt spikes per grouping arranged both horizontally and vertically to give virtually full 360° landing prevention along any edge.

They work with old-school elegance: there’s no bait, no gel, no electricity; just a miniature “thorn bush” in steel that birds find too awkward to land on. Combined with the reflected sunlight off the stainless surface (easier on pigeons’ eyes than ours), the spikes subtly convince them to look elsewhere. With no glue to dry out or chemicals to reapply, once it’s in place the system refuses roosts for years.

What makes OFFO Black Bird Spikes stand apart is that they’re made from premium SUS 304 stainless steel, so they’ll resist rust in coastal rainstorms and remain firmly bent (rather than brittle) after long periods of sun and wind, rated for up to 15 years of performance. The matte-black finish on the base helps blend into fences, mailboxes, ledges, and rooflines, so your spike strip doesn’t become an eyesore (many customers say it’s nearly invisible on dark surfaces). Plus, the strip has enough flex to curve gently around planters or pipes; handy when your home’s surfaces aren’t all perfectly straight.

Take David, for example, a homeowner in Atlanta who shared: “My mailbox was a daily landing zone for pigeons. After installing OFFO, I haven’t seen a pigeon post on it in weeks and cleanup is a breeze.” Customers often echo that: “Perfect for birds and easy to install,” with no assembly required and no changes needed even through seasons of heavy rain or sun.

How to Use / Installation Guide

What You’ll Need

• A tape measure, masking tape or pencil
• 1″ stainless‑steel screws (or outdoor-rated nails) & screwdriver or drill
• Outdoor polyurethane adhesive or weather‑resistant silicone (if screws aren’t an option)
• Tin snips or heavy-duty scissors (for cutting the base)
• Rubbing alcohol or mild bleach solution, a rag, gloves and mask

Step 1: Surface Prep & Planning

Bird droppings carry germs so start by cleaning the ledge or ledge edge thoroughly. Wear gloves and use alcohol or a 10% bleach solution to remove gunk and old debris, let the area dry completely before moving on. This step ensures adhesion and screw threads grip fixtures properly (read more on proper prep from bird-control pros at Bird B Gone).

Next, test-fit the strip. Even though OFFO arrives as one continuous 10-ft length, its base is scored every few inches so you can snap or cut to shape without metal trays popping apart; ideal around corners or odd‑shaped mailboxes (according to several user reports).

Step 2: Cutting or Bending to Fit

Want to wrap the strip around a planter, pipe, or unique profile? Gently bend in shallow curves, but don’t force it sharply (that risks springing the needles apart). For tight corners, work small snapped-off sections individually, then stagger‑overlap them for full edge coverage.

If you don’t need the full length, cut it shorter. Offo includes plenty of overlap for gutters, mailboxes or window sills. You can place multiple strips end to end; just make sure no more than 1″ (2.5 cm) gap between segments so birds can’t sneak in midway.

Step 3: Fastening the Strip

For wood, metal or concrete surfaces: pre‑drill or use self‑drilling stainless‑steel screws placed through the pre‑drilled holes in the spike base every ~ 15 cm (6 in). One user noted, “I used 1″ screws… recommend stainless steel,” and said it felt rock‑solid afterward (read user review).

If you can’t or don’t want to fasten with hardware, like on fragile roofing material, choose a strong outdoor polyurethane adhesive or high-quality silicone. Apply glue in a zig-zag pattern along the underside. Press and hold each strip for a minute or two so the bond sets. Anchor the ends with tape or temporary clamps until cured.

Step 4: Finishing & Quality Check

Once all strips are fixed, run your finger along both ends making sure spikes stand upright and there’s no looseness. Make sure no gaps exceed 1″ so pigeons can’t find footing again.

Let the adhesive cure for at least 24 hours before exposing to rain or vacuum cleaning. Keep an eye on it over the first week, if any sections flex or have visible movement, secure with an extra screw or dab of glue.

Pro Tips from Real Users

• On narrow railings or gutters, users cleverly bend strips into a small “V” and zip‑tie them to the railing, faster than glue and just as effective.
• Inspect your work every 3–6 months, especially after storms or strong winds, just to make sure nothing’s loosened.
• If moss or leaves accumulate, gently clean them away. The spike system is chemical‑free so cleaning it won’t compromise it.

Why This Works

According to bird-control professionals, bird spikes only work if no shady perch point is left within a 1″ radius, and the surface doesn’t let them grip with tweaked toes. With the OFFO strip wide (3″) and tall (4″) and pre-assembled needles radiating out, installing it tightly leaves almost no bird-friendly real estate. No assembly. No bait. Just long-lasting prevention with upfront effort that pays back in simplicity and peace of mind.

When you’ve finished here and you’ve got your strip firmly in place, pigeons will look at it, second‑guess, and find somewhere else to perch. No chemicals. No mess.

FAQs

1. Do these spikes hurt birds or pets?

No. These spikes are blunt-tipped and spaced to avoid injury, not to impale. They make landing awkward, not painful. Bird-control professionals say stainless-steel models like OFFO are designed to discourage landings, not injure the wildlife. Even installers find them safe when handled properly.

2. I’ve seen comments that birds sometimes nest on spikes, does this happen?

Rare, but it can happen if the installation has gaps or loosens over time. One user described spotting a dove’s nest built right behind their spikes (an admittedly odd sight!). The fix? Keep sections tight (no gaps larger than 10 mm), and once every few months, especially after storms, tighten or re-glue any loose areas. That simple check keeps birds guessing.

3. How long will these spikes last in harsh weather?

OFFO uses SUS 304 stainless steel, backed by a 15-year weather-resistance rating. According to multiple sources, they handle extreme heat, UV, coastal humidity, and rain with no loosening or rust. You can expect the same durability from Lagos’ rainy seasons or salty city air.

4. Will tiny birds like sparrows still perch or nest?

Spikes work best on birds with broader feet, like pigeons or doves. Smaller birds (e.g. canaries or house sparrows) might grip between the needles, especially if the spikes cover a different width or aren’t anchored snugly. In sections prone to small birds, adding citrus peel, nesting wire mesh, or a solar owl Light Reflector can help. Bird Barrier’s guide mentions this limitation in general bird spike design.

5. Can I install these on curved ledges, mailboxes, or corners?

A: Yes, the flexible base allows mild curves and corners. Users report “easy-to-install and cut into smaller sections that fit well around narrow or odd-shaped ledges”. I always say: cut to size before fastening; test fit then either snugly bend or snap pieces at the scored lines for corners. Overlap pieces slightly to avoid gaps.

6. What’s the best way to secure these spikes on different surfaces?

– Concrete, wood, metal fence posts: Pre‑drill and drive 1″ stainless screws every ~6 in (15 cm) through the base’s pre-punched holes. That makes them rock-solid, even during heavy wind or rainy seasons.
– Fragile or painted surfaces like tin gutters or tricky roofs: Use outdoor-rated silicone or polyurethane adhesive instead. Apply in a zig-zag pattern underneath and hold each strip 1–2 minutes for bonding. Use painter’s tape or clamps to hold down edges until the glue cures for 24 hours.

One customer summed it up best:

“If you can fasten these to a surface, it will be bird‑free. They’re flexible and made for the long haul. Just be sure that you’re not relying on that edge for grip, unless you want acupuncture.”

7. Do I need to clean or maintain them?

Very little maintenance needed. Since there’s no glue or chemical applied, just check every quarter (or after heavy rain or storms). Remove leaves or moss that might collect between spikes and open up a perch space. Replace or re-secure any section that flexes more than a few millimetres.

8. Are these spikes weather‑safe without peeling or fading?

A: Absolutely. The matte-black finish is UV-stable and won’t fade or peel, even under Lagos sun and rain. As one customer noted, the finish blends into darker surfaces and looks nearly invisible once installed. Meanwhile, spikes made of 304-grade stainless won’t rust or bend even when wet. And your nails and screws, if stainless, won’t corrode either.
