2. Introduction
• When birds start grouping and nesting on your property, it can be a
very annoying problem to deal with.
• Typically, they’ll perch high up on the building so it’s no possible to
shoo them away. Once a group of birds has decided to make a spot
their home, they can be very stubborn and won’t go without a fight.
3. Why are birds a problem?
• If you’ve never dealt with birds gathering on your property before
then you might wonder what the big deal is. After all, it’s not like
they’re dangerous and likely to attack people.
• Well, the first problem with birds is that they can very easily spread
disease through their droppings. They can also cause a great deal
of problems blocking up drainpipes and gutters with the sticks they
use to build their nests.
• Because of these reasons, it’s better to deal with any unwanted
birds very swiftly.
4. Can I deal with the problem myself?
• Whilst some people try to deal with the situation in a forceful
manner, this is never recommended. Because all wild species of
bird are protected in the UK, you could easily find yourself in a lot
of trouble if you were to kill or harm any of the birds perching on
your building.
• Due to this, it’s a much better idea to hire a professional pest
control company who can deal with the problem for you. Pest
control companies have experience dealing with all types of pest
problems, including birds, rodent infestations and insects. This
experience means they will know how to get rid of any birds that
are currently grouping on your building and prevent them from
appearing again in the future.
5. Common bird control solutions
• Below are some of the most common solutions that are used to get
rid of unwanted birds.
• Bird netting – Netting is a very common solution for dealing with
unwanted birds. It can be used on almost any type of property and it
will prevent birds from being able perch, group and nest where it’s
placed. Netting is a very low maintenance solution and comes in a
range of colours to match the décor of your building.
• Bird spikes – Spikes are another very effective means of getting
rid of birds from your property. They can be placed in rows to
provide maximum coverage, which makes them very useful for
buildings that have curved edges, where birds might otherwise be
able to perch.
6. • Wire & post - Wire & post is a good alternative to netting or spikes
and can be placed anywhere that the posts can be drilled into the
fabrication of the building. This is a very subtle and discreet solution
so is excellent for use when you don’t want to disturb the look of
your building.
• When you hire a bird control company, they’ll use one or more of
these solutions to make your property completely bird-proof. This
will give you full peace of mind that the problem will not occur again
in the future.
