    Hi all,
    The sign i am fitting tomorrow is in one of those areas which are plagued by pidgins so i need to fit the spike fittings to stop or try to stop the messy things landing on the sign and the lighting system we are fitting, customer only asked me today and as i say fitting tomorrow. I would like you guys to recommend a supplier please

    thanks rich

    the flock off spikes look really unsightly, far better if possible, to fit a 45%
    angle pelmet over the sign. looks far better, and does the job,
    best method is as john says though,
    trouble is some people actually feed them!

    Rats on wings is all they are

    Have you got an old 10KV transformer?….. fry the little buggers.

    But seriously, you can get a three string ‘wire’ arrangement instead of the flock-off spikes. It’s a LOT more unobtrusive & prevents larger birds perching.

    Try some of the pest control sites.
