Be sure you get the metal ones, the plastic ones tend to break over time.

You can also use TANGLEFOOT

Messy but works!

One of these will keep the birds off your planes! They keep the morning dove population around here down!!!

yes, but have you ever had to clean up a plane where a owl set up house keeping ? and the fake owls do not work unless you move them around every so often.

I would say try this stuff...doesn't take away from the look of the aircraft as much as a row of spikes.

try this!!! ..... seriously while in the marine business, my customers have the same problems with boats. try plastic owls mounted so they move. inflatable snakes, & inflatable eyes, the key is the movement to keep the little crappers guessing & on edge.
