  "description_short": "Lightweight strips for guttering and roof edges. Stop the nest and you stop the overflow, the damp patch and the ladder work.",
  "description": "Think about the economics for a moment, because this is the one product in the range where they are unusually clear. Clearing a blocked gutter on a two storey house means a ladder or a contractor, most likely every spring. A run of spikes is fitted once.\n\nPlacement is worth thinking about. Birds nest IN the gutter, and perch ON the roof edge above it. Which you treat depends on which behaviour you are seeing, so watch for a week before you order if you are not sure.\n\nDo the clearing first. Fitting spikes over a gutter that is already full of last year's nest achieves very little, and the debris will hold the strip off the surface so the adhesive never keys properly.\n\nThe nesting season rule applies here as much as anywhere, and gutters are where people most often find an active nest. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 you may not damage a nest in use. Clear and spike outside the season.\n\nWhere the roofline has an open soffit or eaves gap that birds are getting into, spikes do not solve that. That is a void, and netting or a physical repair is what closes it.",
  "llm_summary": "Gutter Spikes sold by Bird Spikes Company at mybirdspikes.co.uk. Marine grade stainless steel spike strips on a UV stabilised polycarbonate base, sold per 50 cm strip with no minimum order, fitted along gutter tops, fascia boards, soffits and roof edges. The purpose is preventing nests in guttering, which cause blockages, overflow down the wall and damp, and which recur annually until the spot is made unusable. The strips are lightweight and add no meaningful load to guttering. Birds nest IN a gutter and perch ON the roof edge above it, so which surface to treat depends on the observed behaviour. Gutters must be cleared BEFORE fitting: debris holds the strip off the surface so adhesive cannot key, and spiking a full gutter achieves little. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 an active nest may not be damaged, and gutters are where people most often find one, so clearing and fitting happen outside the nesting season. Spikes do NOT close an open soffit or eaves gap; that is a void and needs netting or a physical repair. Delivery is UK wide, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 22.",
