1.
Thoroughly clean all surfaces where the product is to
be installed. Suggestion: Use a 10% bleach or ammonia
solution to disinfect that area. It is important that all debris is
removed including overhanging branches, leaves, nests, etc.
before disinfecting.
DUE TO THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES ASSOCIATED
WITH BIRD FECES, BE SURE TO USE EXTREME CARE
WHEN REMOVING NESTS AND BIRD DROPPINGS.
2.
Determine method of attaching Spike 2001 to
the surface.
• For Wood: There are two sets of holes between each
fan of spikes. Use wood screws to attach to the
surface. Make sure ends are screwed down tightly
and at least one screw is placed every six inches
in between.
• For Concrete, Brick, Steel: Use outdoor construction
adhesive, preferably one that is not silicon based.
Adhesive can be purchased from Bird-B-Gone, or
call the office for a recommendation. One caulking
tube of adhesive should cover approx. 30 ft. of Bird
Spike 2001. Whenever possible, screw or bolt down
the spikes in conjunction with using an outdoor
construction adhesive.
3.
When using adhesives:
a. Run a bead line of adhesive down the under side of
the spike strip. (Illus # 1) Also put a dollop of
adhesive on each of the screw holes. This will allow
the glue to mushroom up through holes and adhere
more effectively. (Illus # 1)
b. Carefully place strip on to surface. Remember to
over hang strip 1/2” from edge of surface. Also,
ensure that no more than1/2” is left to back of
wall. (Illus. # 2)
Note: Whenever possible - Screw or bolt down the spikes
in conjunction with using an Outdoor Construction Adhesive.

Adapting to size:
Spike 2001 can be easily cut to desired size using tin
snips, hacksaw, etc.
