I am wondering what the method for walking on a tile roof without breakage is? I want to place some spike strips for bird control.
I will try to attach photo of house for reference.
Thanks for any input.

I don't know about walking on these tile but I can tell you not to waste your time with spike strips for birds. I spent years trying to stop pigeons and please believe me given enough time, the bird will use the spikes to anchor their nesting material. I found that covering the problem areas with black vinyl screen material did a great job.

Walk in the gullies, and try to spread your weight throughout your whole foot(not toes or heels)spread the weight, you can walk on the high tiles, but carefully, you want to walk on as if you are on "Thin Ice".

The best way I have found is use thick fishing line criss crossed. The Marnia's use that to keep the gulls off the boats.
On a side note rent a cherry picker to go over and around the roof and live for another day.
