Discrete yet efficient, these pest bird wire systems are suitable for protecting ledges, parapets, signs, beams, architectural features, and more. These systems are typically made up of two or more thin steel wires, which are kept tense to present a strong physical barrier between the pest birds and the ledge. The wires get in the birds’ way and prevent them from landing as they normally would. When presented with such a barrier, they will usually just give up and fly off somewhere else. Even if they do make their way through the wires, the birds will find that they are extremely uncomfortable sitting there and likewise abandon the ledge for a more agreeable perch.

It is effective to prevent both feral pigeons and gulls from perching on the ledges and parapets of buildings. The components used for the pigeons and gulls differ in that larger and more robust components are required for gulls.

Bird wire is installed onto ledges and window sills and is often a preferred solution for our customers due to how discreet it looks.

This system means the first post is taken right up to the very front of the leading edge to be protected, even if the ledge is rounded or part-missing. Any small sections that are uneven or damaged are simply bypassed and supported by the rest of the base.

The posts are available in various sizes and stainless-steel split pins can be used to fix the wire into window reveals. The posts, springs, wires and split pins are made of corrosion resistant 316-grade stainless steel. The patented base has anti-topple stabilisers to prevent the posts from inward collapse. If a large bird attempts to land on the wires, the force of the bird is shared down the length of the strip and the anti-topple stabilisers, making it impossible for the Defender® Bird Post and Wire system to collapse in on itself. As the manufacturer of Defender® Bird Spikes, Jones and Son Pest Control Supplies Ltd, we keep a close eye on the quality of the bird control products we produce. All our pigeon control products are made from high-quality materials such as Durolon; a UV Stabilised Polycarbonate, and 304 Grade Stainless Steel for the pins, which makes for an incredibly reliable bird control solution.
