Lets take a look at the work Jk Pest Solutions has done that gave him this prestigious win! James used our brilliant Defender® Thistle® on a customer fence but not for birds! This is the first win we have had where birds were not the target species. These spikes were installed to exclude cats from a garden. Dealing with nuisance cats needs to be approached carefully, as we all know they are both loved and loathed in equal measures. James had to negotiate with the client, the neighbours and the cat owner to resolve the issue and come to a solution that was acceptable to all. The client had had enough of cats defecating in their flower beds which is annoying in itself, but the cats had also taken to using the children's sand pit as a litter box. Not only does it mean cleaning up the garden each and every time they go out, but there is also a risk of disease such as toxoplasmosis from cat faeces. Cats tend not to defecate in their own gardens, lovely for the cat owner, but not so much for the neighbour! Thankfully the cat owner understood the problem and was more than happy to discuss a solution.
James suggested the Defender® Thistle®. This is a very low profile spike, being only 62 mm high and half the height of a standard spike. It's made from UV-stabilised polycarbonate and comes with a reassuring 15-year warranty. The pins fan out into 8 different angles making an impenetrable mat of pins. The Thistle® strips were installed on all the fencing around the garden. Now cats are clever things and just seeing the spikes on the fence mean they don't even attempt to jump up and over the fence. If they did manage to clamber up, the dense pattern of pins means there is nowhere to place a paw. Jk Pest Solutions has solved the cat issue and left both client and cat owners happy with the humane solution. Well done James, cracking install and a first for us!
But that's not the only entry for Jk Pest Solutions this month! James has been out and about in the Wakefield area fitting our plastic bird spikes to aerials and chimney stacks. Our Defender® Wide Plastic Spike is perfect for aerials. Being moulded from UV stabilised plastic, it is not only light weight but also doesn't disturb the signal. They are easily cable tied onto the aerials and quickly stop those pesky pigeons from fouling onto the patios, paths and cars below. It is always important to use a pest controller such as Jk Pest Solutions to install in these areas as they are trained and competent at using ladders and access equipment necessary for such high areas.
