Introduction
The AOKKR Bird Spikes are designed to provide a humane and effective solution for deterring various birds and small animals, such as pigeons, small birds, squirrels, raccoons, cats, and crows, from landing, perching, or roosting on your property. These anti-bird spikes create an uncomfortable surface, preventing pests without causing harm. Constructed from durable SUS304 stainless steel, they are built to withstand diverse weather conditions and offer long-lasting protection for roofs, windows, railings, and other outdoor surfaces.

Safety Information
While AOKKR Bird Spikes are designed to be humane and not cause harm to birds, it is important to handle them with care during installation due to their sharp points. Always wear appropriate protective gloves and eye protection. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Ensure the installation area is stable and safe to work on. Do not install in areas where human contact is frequent or unavoidable, as the spikes can cause injury.

Setup and Installation
AOKKR Bird Spikes are designed for straightforward installation on various surfaces. Before beginning, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris.
Choosing an Installation Method:
The spikes can be installed using one of the following methods:
- Cable Ties: Ideal for railings, pipes, or other structures where ties can be wrapped around. Securely fasten the spike strips using the provided cable ties through the pre-drilled holes in the base.
- Screws: For wooden surfaces, fences, or other drillable materials. The base has reserved nail holes for easier installation. Use appropriate screws (not included) to secure the strips.
- Adhesive/Glue: Suitable for concrete, brick, metal, or other smooth surfaces. Apply a strong outdoor adhesive (not included) to the base of the spike strip and firmly press it onto the desired surface. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Installation Steps:
- Measure and Cut: Measure the length of the area you wish to protect. The stainless steel spike strips can be easily cut or bent to fit the exact length and contour of the surface.
- Prepare Surface: Clean the installation surface thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion or secure fastening.
- Apply Spikes: Attach the spike strips using your chosen method (cable ties, screws, or adhesive). Ensure they are securely fixed and cover the entire area where birds typically land or perch.
- Adjust Spike Span (Optional): For optimal deterrence, especially for specific bird sizes, you can slightly adjust the spread of the individual spikes.

Operating and Placement
Once installed, the AOKKR Bird Spikes operate passively by creating an inhospitable surface for birds and small animals. Proper placement is key to their effectiveness.
Recommended Placement Areas:
- Rooflines and gutters
- Window sills and ledges
- Railings and fences
- Chimneys and vents
- Signage and light fixtures
- Any flat or curved surface where birds are known to perch or nest.
Ensure continuous coverage along the entire length of the area you wish to protect to prevent birds from finding gaps to land.

Maintenance
AOKKR Bird Spikes require minimal maintenance due to their durable stainless steel construction. Periodically inspect the installed spikes to ensure they remain securely attached and free from debris.
- Check for Security: Ensure all spike strips are still firmly attached to the surface. Re-secure any loose sections using the original installation method or a stronger alternative if necessary.
- Clear Debris: Occasionally, leaves, twigs, or other debris may accumulate on or around the spikes. Gently remove any obstructions to maintain effectiveness.
- Inspect for Damage: Although highly durable, inspect for any signs of unusual wear or damage. Replace any severely bent or broken sections if needed (using spare spikes or additional purchases).
Troubleshooting
If you observe birds still landing or roosting in protected areas, consider the following:
- Incomplete Coverage: Check for any gaps or unprotected areas where birds might be able to land. Ensure the spikes cover the entire width and length of the desired surface.
- Incorrect Placement: Verify that the spikes are installed on the exact surfaces where birds are attempting to perch. Sometimes birds may find alternative landing spots nearby.
- Spike Span Adjustment: For very small birds, ensure the spike density is sufficient to prevent them from landing between the spikes. The adjustable span feature can be utilized.
- Obstructions: Ensure no new objects (e.g., overgrown branches, new installations) are providing alternative perching spots near the protected area.
- Installation Security: Confirm that the spikes are firmly attached and not loose, which could allow birds to dislodge them or find unstable footing.
