There are certain species of birds that are very common, such as pigeons and seagulls. Because these birds are so widespread, they often choose to perch and nest on other peoples’ property, particularly in built up areas with tall buildings. Here are 5 methods for Bird Control.

1. 5 Proven Methods of Bird Control

2. Introduction
There are certain species of birds that are very common, such as pigeons
and seagulls. Because these birds are so widespread, they often choose to
perch and nest on other peoples’ property, particularly in built up areas
with tall buildings.
When birds group on your building, they can cause a lot of problems. The
sticks they use to build their nests can easily clog up drainpipes and
gutters. Also their droppings are not only unsightly but also spread disease
when you come into contact with them. This being the case, you want to
get rid of any birds that are on your building as quickly as possible.

3. • Wire & Post
Wire & post is a very popular
solution for keeping birds away
from a property. Posts are drilled
into the fabrication of the building
and a wire is then stretched across
them. This prevents birds from
being able to land or perch there.
Whilst wire & post is effective, it
cannot be used in all settings since
drilling is required.

4. • Netting
Netting is the most versatile bird
control solution available. It works
in the same way as wire & post but
doesn’t require drilling. Netting can
be placed almost anywhere,
including under bridges and on
scaffolding. This makes it ideal for
building projects and hard to reach
areas. Netting comes in a variety of
colours too.

5. • Spikes
Spikes are another option for
keeping birds off your property.
They are fairly easy to install and
can be placed in rows for
maximum coverage. When spikes
are placed on a building, it will
stop any birds from grouping and
nesting there. Spikes can be a little
unsightly however, so you may not
be suitable depending on the type
of property that you have.

6. • The Scarecrow Method
There are many props that you can
buy to try and scare birds away.
Things like rubber snakes and glass
owls can be placed where the birds
are grouping in an effort to deter
them. It’s a safe and clean method
of bird control but not always
effective, although it is worth
trying. Image Credit

7. • Distress Call Systems
Distress call systems mimic the
natural sound that birds make to
warn each other of danger. The
effectiveness of these systems varies
but with a high quality system they
can be very effective at keeping
birds away from your property.
They’re best used for flocking birds
in search of a winter roost.

8. What About Shooting Or Poisoning?
• If you have a lot of birds on your property then you might be tempted to
deal with them forcefully however this is not a good idea. Killing or
harming any wild species of bird is illegal in the UK. Therefore if you’re
caught shooting or poisoning birds that are on your property you could find
yourself in a lot of trouble.
• Getting one of the bird control solutions mentioned above installed
shouldn’t be too costly and will ensure that birds don’t see your building as
somewhere they want to stay.
