Bird Removal Services
Pigeons, seagulls and other birds can cause a range of problems. Including damage to buildings from droppings, noise, nuisance and food safety problems. Birds can also endanger staff and public, especially if they nest rooftop plant machinery. Many urban areas such as city centres are well known for unwanted populations of pigeons and seagulls. Pest control can be essential, especially for commercial clients and residential areas. We also provide bird proofing for solar panels and as a service. As well as bird proofing for houses including netting, spike installation and other deterrents. We also offer a falconry service as an alternative to bird control.
Contact us if you have a bird control issue and have any questions on the best method of removal.
Effective Bird Control in Cities and Town Centres
Dealing with bird problems starts with understanding their habits. For example, feral pigeons use building ledges as a substitute for sea cliffs and like seagulls, they have adapted very successfully to live in town and city centres. An integrated approach is needed to reduce bird numbers and maintain that reduction, taking account of factors that encourage the animals to choose any new location as their home. New birds will always rediscover a sympathetic environment, so it is important to work with experts who understand bird behaviour and that’s where we come in.
Exact control remedies will depend on the size and location of the problem. We also take into account issues such as the reaction of passers-by to the techniques being used. Shooting birds in front of an audience may not be possible, so more humane control methods are often needed.
Types of bird proofing treatments
Depending on the problem you have with birds, there is a specific treatment to suit your needs.
Ethical And Humane Bird Control
The Bristol Pest Controller uses a range of humane control methods, from preventative netting and scarers through to narcotic baits and traps. We do still use shooting where it is wanted by a client and needed, but shooting will usually be the last resort for bird control in most environments. Note that we can also deal with control issues surrounding rarer species such as skylarks, lapwings and ground-nesting birds.
Bird Scaring
We also offer falconry, audio, electric and rocket/kite bird deterrents if these are the most appropriate way to encourage a particular bird population to relocate. Depending on the location, bird scaring can be a good way to maintain the appearance of a building and control birds at the same time.
Guano Cleaning
Finally, any bird problem will usually leave unsightly and risky guano behind. Apart from the disease risk, the acid in bird droppings can damage buildings directly. The Bristol Pest Controller can help to clean guano effectively, safely and cost-effectively.
Bird Pressure, Bird Spikes & Bird Netting
We provide expert bird proofing by installing innovating techniques to alleviate ‘bird pressure’ using bird wire netting & spikes. The ‘bird pressure’ refers to a bird population that focuses on a particular building or area. For medium and heavy pressure from bird populations, a much more carefully designed and installed system will be needed. Complete with careful installation.
The Bristol Pest Controller will carry out a thorough in-depth survey to establish the extent of the bird infestation. Once we know where the birds are causing a problem we will implement the right system for you or your business.
Bird Proofing for Seagulls & Pigeons
We start by removing any droppings or bird guano which is a hazardous material and should be handled with great care and respect using the right PPE.
Once the surfaces are clean we install bird spikes using high-tack adhesive to stop pigeons and seagulls from perching on ledges. If the initial assessment reveals that bird netting is required then we will use the correct size netting for that bird species present.
The bird netting itself comes in several different colours and sizes to suit the species and location of the area been proofed. We go the extra mile to make sure your bird proofing project is effective, discreet, long-lasting and within the parameters of the law.
