Claims11
A bird deterrent having a base and a plurality of branched spikes extending from the base, wherein the base and plurality of spikes are all part of a single unit of molded plastic and wherein the base has a plurality of break points and each of the plurality of branched spikes corresponds to a non-branched spike extending from a side of the base from a point opposite of the branched spike.
A method of fabricating a bird deterrent comprising providing a base and fixing a branched spike to the base, wherein the step of fixing comprises injection molding the branched spike and the base as a single piece and wherein the base has a plurality of break points and each of the plurality of branched spikes corresponds to a non-branched spike extending from a side of the base from a point opposite of the branched spike.
A bird deterrent having a base and a plurality of spikes extending from the base, wherein the base and plurality of spikes are all part of a single unit of molded plastic, wherein at least some of the adjacent spikes alternate in an up and down configuration and wherein the base has a plurality of break points, and each of the plurality of branched spikes corresponds to a non-branched spike extending from a side of the base from a point opposite of the branched spike.
