I have spikes with no instructions...do I just nip the ends off or cut the seam open?

The spikes have tiny holes, just put water in any bottle they will fit on but don't tighten it or it will cause suction and change the shape of the bottle, especially if is the bottle is made of recycled material.

No need to do anything. Just fill a bottle with water screw the spikes on and stick them in the ground. I used 1L water bottles but they will work on a 2L as well. I thought they worked very well. Good luck.

Neither one. They have tiny holes in them. Just fill your bottle with water and screw the spike on. Then stick it into the dirt at an angle where the spike will be close to the plant roots. It works better if you have thoroughly watered the plant first.

no need to cut. there are small holes in the side. just fill your bottle. screw the plant water on and insert into plant. good luck

Dont make any holes. If you pour water into the nozzle, you will see it come out two small holes on the sides. This is sufficient for the watering.

There really are no instructions. Just a template for cutting the holes. It's pretty simple to figure out.

On the bottem of the one side or the other there is a sharp eage put your wire in roll it around untill the inslolation is cut throuh. Then put the wire in from the back side. you have three ajustable rollers, the red nobs, put your wire in and ajust the rollers so that the insolated part of the wire rolles throuh there freely, you might have to lower the bottom roller to let the side rollers come in farther, then back up the wire to were bear part and drop the knife blade to were it bearly comes in contact with the wire, then lock your kinte blade down and pull it throuh; I use a pare of plyers to start pulling the wire. I started with wire about 2 to 3 feet long. On the bottem of the one side or the other there is a sharp eage put your wire in roll it around untill the inslolation is cut throuh.

Just pry it open along the seam. Feels like you are going to break it, but you won't.

Push them in the end. If you have more than one coming off the 1/4 in. Then use a tee with a short piece of 1/4 inch

I believe instructions are to use one spike per inch diameter, not circumference. Check the instructions again to confirm. I am certain that you do not need 18 spikes for your tree.

Personally, I would sew or glue loops on the edge and then string on some type of string or twine. I guess you could staple them also but I'd prefer what ever method would do the less damage.

Stand on the material (strands) then pull the handle up until it releases. I have already broken one because I did not do it correctly. Good luck!

I cut them with a scissors then used a razor knife to trim them flat. Be careful a did cut myself doing this. My daughter thinks you could use an emery board.

I had the same problem. My solution was my local Homedepot (or any hardware store) and purchased 1/4 thread rod and a union ( joins 2 threaded rods), cut it to fit and works great. Just take one of your end pieces with you and explain to an associate you dilemma and they will gladly set you up.

Grip the spiked end. Turn the handle end counter clockwise to unscrew it. Put the rod through hole and reassemble it.

Pull it off. As you pull it, it comes to what appears to be as far as it goes, slide it a little more and it will come off. Doesn't hurt it at all. Good luck and happy cutting.

If I remember correctly,unscrew the box(there are some rubber pieces just remove the one ) and just lay the cord(different sizes) on the spiked connection.Then just screw back down.I hope this helps. If not I can search and see if I have a copy.

I've seen quite a few people on You Tube glue on flower heads and spikes on to double prong metal clips. You just need a good bonding glue and an Emory board or sand paper to rough up the smooth metal on top so the glue has something to adhere to (if it's smooth, the glue will come undone). Good Luck!

I bought the stainless steel ones and they have grooves in the plastic that you can bend back and forth to break them apart. I suppose you could cut them as well just didn't need to. I don't know about the all plastic pigeon spikes though.

I would think u could use a hack saw to remove them. That's what I used to cut an end piece off
