Feature(may vary by option.)
●NO-DRILL SUPPORT FOR BIRD WIRE - The components included within this kit are used to support bird wire systems when drilling is not a viable option. Pads can be used with an adhesive to surfaces such as aluminium capping or screws for timber surfaces. They are a quick and convenient solution for installing bird wire in sensitive areas and are widely used within the professional pest control industry.
●POST & PAD INSTALLATION - For pigeon prevention on a standard ledge, we recommend a height of 90mm for the front leading edge and 130mm for additional intermediary rows; when possible a minimum of 2 rows should be installed. Pads can be installed using screws or with a suitable flexible adhesive such as Soudal Fix All Crystal. Spacing between sections should be no more than 1.5m, and the system should be installed with a spring under light tension only.
●IMPORTANT PAD INFORMATION - Fixings are not included within this kit. Post and pad installations are specifically designed for light perching of pigeons only and should not be used in areas where pigeons are active overnight. If using adhesive, the installers must best prepare the attachment area; we recommend using a surface cleaner to remove any grease or oils on the application area.
●WHAT IS A POST & WIRE SYSTEM - Commonly known as bird wire, this discreet prevention method stops pigeons from landing on building ledges, parapets, ridges, and fencing. A wire is installed 90mm to 130mm above the ground between 2 support posts. A spring allows for tension and flexibility, and crimps hold the entire system together. Bird wire is only suitable for perching sites and should not be used for roosting or nesting.

Description
Birdgo Pigeon Wire
Please see listing title for product and qty.
Installation of a post & wire system can be a cost effective and discreet way to prevent pigeons from landing on building ledges, fences and parapets etc.
Bird wire is a flexible ledge system that is designed for light and medium pressure sites only. The system is not suitable for pigeons roosting overnight or nesting. Wire does not prevent pigeons landing but acts as a discomfort and the tension from the spring pushes the pigeon away. Its important that the system is installed correctly to include the springs to be effective, otherwise failure will occur.
Post & wire systems do not harm pigeons. Smaller bird are still able to land unrestricted under the wire.
For a basic installation on a straight masonry ledge you will require:
- 115mm & 150mm single headed bird posts (2 rows)
- 25mm Anchor rivets & 6.5mm drill bit
- 0.7mm wire
- Standard springs & Crimps
The initial row should be installed 20mm from the edge with additional rows centred at 65mm, a minimum of 2 rows should be installed. Posts should be spaced at a maximum distance of 1.5m.
Use 115mm posts for the front row and 150mm posts for the rear rows in combination with 25mm anchor rivets.
When drilling is not possible such as on metal flashing use stick-on posts and a suitable adhesive. Allow the adhesive to cure before you tension the wire.
A spring should be attached to every length of wire and gently tensioned and then crimped.
If the pigeons are roosting at night or nesting use our Birdgo spike systems.
Birdgo sell a range of combination kits that include everything required for a successful installation - please see other listings.
