Installation of post and wire to keep pigeons or seagulls of ridges and ledges
Post and wire is a discreet alternative to fixing bird spikes onto your property.

It is a bird deterrent system consisting of vertical posts and horizontal wires installed above an area to prevent birds from landing or roosting.
The wires are installed at varying heights and tensions using steel springs to create an unstable surface that makes it difficult for birds to perch.
This type of bird deterrent is commonly used on rooftops, ledges, sills, ridges, curved masonry and other structures where birds may gather or nest.
