Okay, so I had a MAJOR bird problem. Pigeons were treating my balcony like their personal Airbnb, leaving droppings everywhere. I tried everything—fake owls, shiny tapes, even yelling at them (don’t judge). Nothing worked… until I found these OFF bird spikes.

First off, these spikes are NO JOKE. The stainless steel base is sturdy AF. I live in a place with crazy weather—blizzards, windstorms, you name it—and these spikes haven’t budged. No rust, no loosening. They’re like the Terminator of bird deterrents.

The installation was stupid easy. Just screwed them onto my balcony ledge (though you can use glue or tape if drilling isn’t your thing). The spikes cover the whole area—no sneaky landing spots for birds. And the best part? They’re HUMANE. Birds just nope outta there without getting hurt.

I also love how customizable they are. You can cut the strips to fit weird spaces (I used tin snips for a tight spot). Plus, the crisscross design means birds can’t even try to weave through them like some budget obstacle course.

Downside? The packaging said 17 feet but mine was short by a strip. Not a dealbreaker since they work so well, but c’mon—accuracy matters!

Final verdict: 10/10 would recommend to anyone tired of playing janitor to winged squatters. Now if only they made raccoon-proof versions for my trash cans…
