Many Australian homes and business owners have installed solar panels on their roofs in recent years to take advantage of government incentives in the form of subsidies and rebates. This has allowed many homeowners to utilise their roof as a power generating source in the form of solar energy.

However with any new development there comes unforeseen challenges. Solar panel installations on house roofs create ideal nesting locations for urban pest birds, especially pigeons. 

Thankfully we have a solution - The Solar Panel Bird Mesh Kit. This is an instruction guide to the installation process for these mesh kits.

Birds are usually harmless, beneficial animals, but sometimes due to their habits, they become pests. Whenever bird behaviour adversely affects human activities they can be classed as pests. These type of situations include destroying fruit orchards and crops, damaging & fouling commercial buildings, nesting in roofs and gutters, damaging golf courses, parks and other recreational facilities, contaminating food and water, affecting aircraft at airports and aerodromes and threatening survival native birds and wildlife.

Here we look at some of the main situations where birds are in conflict with humans and their activities.

The installation process for Gutter Bird Spikes is slightly different to standard bird spikes but still a very simple process. See below for a guide to correct installation of these unique spikes.

Installing bird spikes is essentially a very simple procedure. However each job and situation is different so different installation techniques may be required from time to time.

The most common and recommended method of bird spike installation is by using a neutral cure silicon adhesive. Other optional methods include the use of screws or nails (depending on the surface material), rivets, cable ties or gutter clips.

Here we take you through a step by step guide to the most basic type of installation.

If you're looking for a bird spike that lasts the distance in harsh Australian conditions then look no further than our range of full stainless steel bird spikes. 

These spikes are constructed from 100% high-grade #304 stainless steel that protects against rust, UV and chemical degradation. The V-shaped bird spikes are spot welded with precision to create a stronger and cleaner fusion and ensure long life. The stainless steel base is light and conformable to any surface.
