Easy Installation Bird Spikes Costing Minimum Effort. Our bird deterrent spike comes with unassembled pins. It takes several minutes to install all bird deterrent devices onto the base. Each woodpecker deterrent spike strip can be glued, screwed or tied down to surfaces. You can use industrial glue, screw or zip ties to fasten bird repellent spikes onto the surface. Prior to installation of the bird spike, make sure the surface is clean and dry.
