NixaliteNixalite Bird Spikes Stainless Steel Premium Model S (10 ft, 5-2 ft. Strips)

The first time I ever installed nixalite I was in a man basket hanging beside a 7 story building in the middle of summer. In that case an early 70’s example of brutalism had become 1’ wide, concrete reinforced pidgeon roosts with great views and roomy enough for the largest pigeon family. I learned how to work with nixalite that day and was reminded of each error with prick in an exposed forearm. I have used many times since, but this was the first time on my home. Rather than pigeons my enemy was squirrels. Initially, the nixalite was a huge success though like man overcoming obstacles the squirrels tried to adapt to the new obstacle. When they climbed upside down, I added another piece of nixalite. It was when they started jumping trying to grab the bird feeder in mid air that I realized squirrels where indomitable.I realize it was only a 4’ jump but I soon realized my bird feeder was going to look like San Quentin or I was going to half to move it.So nixalite is absolutely the best product of its type, and will prevent squirrels from crossing it (but they may find a new route). Even though it didn’t work for me as squirrel protection I repurposed it to protect some exposed beams on a covered porch where birds commonly rested after eating and causing many pressure washing opportunities on the concrete below. I can say that it has performed wonderfully there.

Squirrels are crafty and this product was well worth the money. I bought another order after getting the first and I'll most likely buy more as I learn the squirrel workarounds. I've seen them try to navigate it, and they can move across it, but they HATE it. Where I have it placed correctly (that's important) they avoid it. Love this, can't recommend it enough, but like I said, squirrels are crafty, but this works.

Quality product. Excellent packaging.Bought spikes to stop squirrels from getting into bird feeder. Not even two hours later, they cracked the code.

After looking at different kind, I decided to go with this one, as some of them had plastic parts (these are 100% metal). I also needed them to be flexible as they had to go on round parts of the building.They were very easy to install, worked awesome as they really keep the birds away, well designed, I would definitely recommend them to everyyone.

These babies are SHARP! I had a family of raccoons that would go up on my roof at night. I placed these at the top of the column support on my deck that they were using to climb. It's expensive but it worked. It would be good if they supplied a few more hold downs and screws. Use gloves. They recommend using a tin snip to cut. I didn't have one so I had to hack saw. This is a quality product so it's not the easiest material to saw.

These will make any stubborn ass woodpecker cry. I love them. Now I don't have to wake up when the woodpecker wants to. Be aware that you will stab yourself over and over and over and over while installing these. Small price to pay for no more woodpecker. -1 star because they are way overpriced in my opinion.

These bird spikes are pretty expensive but very well made and sturdy. The 2 ft sections were ideal for the spaces I needed to protect. I could just set them where I needed them so no experience using the mounting system that comes wth the spikes. Very pleased with results, birds (in our case robins who were insistent about building various nests on our house) won't come near them. Problem solved.

Love these bird spikes. They are razor-sharp! Even got me when I was cutting them to my desire length! So imagine squirrels. Would have given a five star rating but they too pricey.
