Bird Control

Humane, discreet bird proofing for pigeons, gulls and their mess

About birds

Feral pigeons and gulls do real damage: fouling that corrodes stonework, blocked gutters, health risks and relentless noise. Because most wild birds are legally protected, the answer is rarely lethal control but proofing that denies them the ledges, roosts and nesting sites they rely on. We survey the building and design a proofing scheme that is humane, effective and barely visible from the ground.

How to spot them

Signs of a bird problem

  • Droppings building up on ledges, signage, walkways and vehicles
  • Nesting material in gutters, behind signage and on flat roofs
  • Persistent noise, especially gull colonies in the breeding season
  • Feathers, debris and repeatedly blocked rainwater goods
Why it matters

The risks of leaving birds untreated

  • Droppings carry pathogens and create slip hazards on walkways
  • Acidic fouling corrodes stonework, paintwork and metalwork
  • Blocked gutters cause damp and water damage to the building
  • A visible mess that harms retail and hospitality reputations
Our approach

How we treat birds

01

Survey the roosting, loafing and nesting points across the building

02

Install proofing such as netting, spikes, wire systems or point deterrents

03

Clear and disinfect fouled areas safely under controlled conditions

04

Carry out all work in line with wildlife protection law

Keep them away

Preventing birds coming back

  • Remove food sources and discourage public feeding nearby
  • Keep gutters, flat roofs and ledges clear and maintained
  • Act early, before a roost becomes an established colony

When you will see them

Bird pressure and nesting activity build from spring into summer, though feral pigeons roost and foul on buildings all year round.

Guaranteed treatment

We treat the source and proof the entry points, then follow up to make sure the problem stays solved.
