Best pigeon spikes

Updated: 23 October 2026

You already know the mess is on a perch, and you want the best pigeon spikes rather than another afternoon of owls and boxes that beep. Best here means a row that blocks feet, on amazon.co.uk, with a large review sample and a price you can check. It is not a laboratory trial. Scores for the twelve listings in the [pigeon deterrent comparison](/hub/pest-control/pigeon-deterrent) use the shelf figures from 19 October 2026. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. If spikes are not yet the method, use the [pigeon deterrent buying guide](/hub/pest-control/pigeon-deterrent/sub/pigeon-deterrent-buying-guide) first.

How this top pick was chosen

Exclusion scores higher than scaring. That is a rule of thumb on the listing type, not a bench test. Stars alone mislead: EarlyGrow is 4.3 from 1,980 reviews with spikes 1.8 cm high, SLAJMNZH is 5.0 from two reviews, and ISOTRONIC is 2.6 from 6,144 reviews at £41.01. The highest score is 91, on Remiawy. The long-run score is 86, on Apluskis.

Top pick, Remiawy stainless spikes

Remiawy, ASIN B0CNVGZNBS, is £7.78 with 4.4 from 1,714 reviews. The bullets describe five 304 stainless strips, each 246 by 28 by 101 mm, about 1.2 m combined. UK reviews describe pigeons leaving a gate, a garage front and a swing set. Screws are not included. Plates have to go on the right way. One set is a gate cap, not a terrace. The details field says chipmunk, which fights the title. A UK review fitted the strips on fence panels and said cats stepped past. There is no protected width beyond the 101 mm depth.

Best value, Apluskis 6 m plastic spikes

Apluskis, ASIN B09WDNGTZM, is £17.85 with 4.3 from 1,456 reviews. The title states a 20-pack of about 6 m in PP plastic, fixed with screws, tape or zip ties. Against 1.2 m at £7.78 that is under £3 a metre before fixings, which is why it is the best value. Some reviews still saw pigeons where the run had gaps. One reviewer could not stick the strips to a butyl roof. No width in millimetres appears, only the length claim. Gaps and casements are on how to fit pigeon spikes.

Listings that are not the pick

EarlyGrow is cheaper, has more reviews, and is number 1 in Bird Control. The points are 1.8 cm and the reviews talk about cats and foxes. Buy it for a fence. The owl, the falcon and the Laptony kite are scare tools, with birds back within minutes or after about a week. A reflector can sit beside a finished row. It does not replace it. That split is pigeon spikes vs a fake owl. Spikes will not close a void.

Common questions

What is the top pick for pigeon spikes in this comparison?
Remiawy, B0CNVGZNBS, at £7.78. It is 4.4 from 1,714 reviews, with a stated depth of 101 mm and about 1.2 m of 304 stainless. The score is 91 because it is exclusion, the sample is large and the price is low. Screws are not included, one set is short for a long wall, and the details field wrongly says chipmunk. It is the top pick for a gate, a garage front or a single sill.
What is the best value if I need more than a metre?
Apluskis, B09WDNGTZM, at £17.85. The title states about 6 m, rated 4.3 from 1,456 reviews, score 86. That length is why it is the best value against 1.2 m of stainless. Reviews include birds that still sat in gaps, awkward screws, and glue that failed on a butyl roof. The bullet says PP plastic, so do not assume a polycarbonate silicone will hold.
Why not the EarlyGrow strips that rank first in Bird Control?
The points are 1.8 cm high and the reviews are mostly cats and foxes. The price is £6.95 and the rating is 4.3 from 1,980, which is a strong fence product. It is not a deep pigeon ledge row. A broad chart position does not measure spike height. Use it where a cat walks the timber. Use Remiawy or Apluskis where a pigeon stands on a sill.
Is stainless worth it compared with plastic?
On a short run, the printed 101 mm depth and 1,714 reviews make Remiawy the cleaner buy at £7.78. On a long run, Apluskis buys claimed metres the stainless set does not include, at £17.85. Stainless is worth it for a small number of strips with a stated section. Plastic is worth it when you would otherwise join several stainless packs. Neither includes screws.
How wide a ledge does one spike row cover?
Remiawy prints 101 mm depth and a 28 mm base, not a separate protected width. Apluskis prints a 6 m claim and no width. Trade guides say a ledge wider than one strip needs a parallel row. If your stone is obviously wider than the strip in your hand, plan two lines. Do not treat 101 mm as cover for a broad parapet.
Which listings should I skip for a perch?
Skip the ISOTRONIC pair at £41.01, 2.6 from 6,144 reviews, and SLAJMNZH at £21.99, 5.0 from two reviews. Skip the owl, falcon, kite, discs and pinwheels as a replacement for spikes. They can be a lawn trial. EarlyGrow is a skip only when you needed pigeon ledge spikes. It remains a reasonable fence strip.
