You should have power washed the roof or scrubbed the area with soap and water first to get rid of the feces where you glued the spikes down. It would allow for better long term adhesion.
Interesting that their style is to perch exactly on the ridge of the roof, instead of the tiles of the roof. In other words, you put the spikes on the ridge, and that was enough to stop them from hanging around. They didn't want to stand or sit or perch on the slanted parts of the roof.
Good video! glad you made it off safe. Hopefully by now your birds are gone. Heres a good little process, clean tiles and panels first to help remove pheromones and have clean workspace, spikes are great for perching/resting areas, exclusion is good for nesting sites like panels and rood overhangs. Stay safe!
Super video. I have a much smaller problem with pigeons at my home in the UK. This video really helps. If confident, I'll use some dilute bleach solution to clean before adhering spikes. Not a fan of heights... But needs must as they cr@p from the roof on the cars below.
Man... falling off a single story is bad enough. I have to paint and pigeon proof my house by myself, it's almost 36' at the peak of the roof(tiles) with a lot of decorative valleys etc. Wish me luck and thanks for the tips!
my guys pressure wash any roof that looks as bad as that before doing anything it’s not a good look having all that bird shit. but if it’s your house it’s your decision

That was pretty cool seeing the birds failing to land at the top once you got down from the roof!

Good video! I would not like getting off and on that ladder at the top? Something like sikabond would be a great adhesive.
I found Quad brand to be the best outdoor caulk for about anything
Good information, I wanted to see which adhesive you were going to use since I am working on the same project.
I have a had a few come off. I don't think I was generous enough with the liquid nails. Use a lot!

Buy and WEAR a safety harness with cables. I've known people to Die from a roof, or even a ladder fall!!
The Peak in normally Called the Ridge
How d8d you avoid breaking the tiles?
How well did it hold after a year
How did the repellent work?
💯🤙
You could have clean the roof with pressure washer before installing the spikes :D all that poop
I got fistful size clumps landing on my ac units and walkways....I love animals but these birds suck
