Pigeon Spikes are the wider profile, for surfaces over about 150 mm — parapets, roof edges, deep cornices and girder flanges. This page covers what is specific to buying and fitting them in Kolkata — the full specification is on the Pigeon Spikes product page.
At a Glance
For the deep cornices and open roof runs, and for crows, which are a genuine second species here and heavy enough to stand over a shallow row. Fit November to February; humidity and monsoon between them make most of the year unsuitable for bonding.
The wider picture for this city — climate, building stock, areas covered and the surfaces that actually matter here — is on bird control spikes in Kolkata.
Yes. We manufacture in Delhi and despatch to Kolkata by courier or transport depending on the quantity.
Quoted by the running metre. Send the measurement and a photograph and you will have a price the same day — it depends on quantity, so a rough figure is enough to start.
November to February. Nothing bonds reliably to damp masonry, which is the main reason installations fail early.
Small orders are welcome. We would rather supply a metre than have a problem left unfixed because it felt too small to ask about.
Yes — for contractors, hardware traders and pest control firms. Tell us the products and volumes you expect to move.
Send a photograph of the surface with the measurement. If a different product suits it better we will say so — the commonest wasted purchase in bird control is the right product on the wrong surface.
Send the measurement and a photograph. If you are unsure what to measure, send the photographs anyway and we will tell you which number we need.
For pigeon spikes, the quantity comes from how much balcony railings a building actually has — running length, not floor area. These are the three types we quote most often in Kolkata:
Balcony railings and chajjas, plus shared light wells that usually need netting rather than spikes.
Truss members and open shutter heads.
Mouldings, cornice bands and deep window ledges — a lot of running length on one elevation.
