While i am on the topic of snow coming off the roof here s another joy of urban living.
Spikes on house roof.
Squirrels scrambling all over your roof can be noisy and distracting.
There are lots of videos of snow falling off roof surfaces with people scrambling and cars getting damaged.
Once spikes are installed birds can no longer roost on the roof or a perch and instead must move to a different location saving the expense and man hours of having to clean up an unsightly and dangerous mess.
Roof surfaces are mostly asphalt.
Without those spikes roof snow can slide off in large heavy wet sheets and cause lots of damage.
You can also play predator or ultrasonic sounds to repel birds.
Spikes stop birds from roosting.
Anti bird spike is an effective humane and economic bird control solution which can be easily installed on ledge such as window sills beams under eaves rooftops or any flat or curved surface.
Try spikes or bird spiders if you want to keep a few birds off the roof or use bird netting to keep a whole flock away.
