Strip Length
Each strip of Defender® Thistle® is 333 mm (13 inches) long. 3 strips are needed to protect a one metre length of ledge. One metre of Defender® Thistle® will have an incredible 240 pins set in 8 different angles, therefore stopping the most determined small bird from landing on any surface on which the Thistle® has been installed.
Humane Treatment of Birds
Although the Defender® Thistle® may look aggressive, it is a humane bird control solution and does not hurt the birds at all. The fan of pins act initially as a visual deterrent to birds wanting to land and most will move on to more accessible areas. If they are more determined the dense pattern of the pins means getting close will be uncomfortable for the bird and indeed make it impossible to get a foot hold onto the ledge.
