BIRD CONTROL

Urban Bird Control

Bird Netting for any situation

Bird netting consists of UV stabilised polyethylene and can come in different colours to match the background colour of the building or structure. Netting presents a physical barrier to exclude the most persistent of birds and can be configured horizontally, vertically or at an angle to accommodate most buildings, structures and areas. This is secured into position by being attached to straining wires tensioned through a series of fixed eyebolts to provide a neat taut finish. Our specialist bird control netting team have many years of experience installing pigeon, gull & other bird netting to a wide range of different buildings to provide bird proofing and gull proofing solutions.

Anti-perching points or spikes

Anti-perching points or spikes consist of a series of stainless-steel angled wires on a plastic polycarbonate base. These are secured into position by using a neutral silicone adhesive.

They are ideal for ledges, parapets and columns etc and prevent birds from landing without harm. The stainless-steel wires or spikes are very pliable without risk of harming birds. This system can be used in areas where birds are roosting or perching and is particularly effective against feral pigeons and gulls. Our specialist bird control installation team have many years of experience installing anti-perching points or spikes to a wide variety of different structures.

• Damage stonework and paintwork through its acidity.
• Present risk of slipping and accidents.

It can be very effective in removing persistent problems and reduce numbers rapidly. Our qualified team of experts will ensure that regardless of your problem we will work with you in an ethical and responsible manner in what can be clearly a very sensitive issue.

Natural England, the UK government’s advisor issues licences to give professional pest controllers like us at Urban Pest Control the authority to manage bird control within a local area. This is site specific license application; Urban Pest Control will work with you to achieve a license application for gull nest removal. We are happy to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Trapping

Bird traps are made from welded mesh with a sheet metal base, they have two bob wire entrances and a door in the top. This method of pigeon trapping is to remove them safely and humanely from the site as trapped birds are removed through top door.

Cage

Cages are customised to fit specific area. They prevent areas from getting blocked with nesting materials. The cages are constructed from 12-gauge steel welded mesh.

Falconry

Introducing our bird of prey pest control program to an established nesting area is beneficial as it not only reduces the amount material left behind by Gulls such as nest debris and guano but also reduces the population of gulls at the site by the birds of prey’s mere presence. Our in-house falconer will work with you to put a detailed plan in place regarding the number of flights that are required to to deter problem birds away. Further information on our Bird of prey pest control program can be found on our falconry pest control page.
