BIRD WIRE (for lower pressure pigeon roosts, bird proofing trip wires are an unobtrusive way of keeping pigeons off your building .Stainless steel wires are placed around building perimeters creating a barrier for birds attempting to land or roost. The wires are 0.9mm in diameter and supported by stainless steel posts.)

 

BIRD SPIKES (this system is proven to alleviate heavy infestations of feral pigeons and gulls it can be fixed by using silicone adhesive or screw fixings to ledges, gutters & parapet walls)

 

BIRD FOULING REMOVAL AND DISINFECTION (This involves the removal of bird droppings and associated debris form buildings and then treating the affected areas using special disinfectants and insecticides, to eradicate further possible infestation of insects and mites)

 

CHIMNEY POT PROTECTOR (sits inside chimney pot which is angled so birds cannot rest)

 

BIRD SPIDER (This is particularly good for on top of air conditioning units, dormers, tops of lights, silos these units are very discreet being difficult to detect even from a few feet away

Seagulls and Pigeons: The Facts

 

Seagull

 

-    There are approximately 18 million pigeons in the UK

-    They are known as Britain’s most hated bird with nicknames like rats with wings, sky rats, gutter birds, flying ashtrays

-    The Mayor of London is making legal history by going to court to make illegal to feed birds in Trafalgar square

-    But when it comes to hating pigeons the focus of most peoples dislike is the feral pigeon. It is a domesticated rock dove that has returned to wild and semi wild conditions

-    It is usually grey and can be seen in most villages, towns and cities across the UK and Europe

-    Pigeons on a roof can reduce the roof life by 20% or more

 

The Law

 

Birds cannot be killed or their nests destroyed in order to protect the fabric of a building. It is illegal to kill birds because they are soiling a building or causing damage to the building. The property owner must in a court of law that lethal control was used as a last resort because bird control products had failed. If the property owner is found to have used lethal controls simply to resolve an unsightly soiling problem on a building, prosecution will follow. Any building or site can be protected in order to resolve a bird- related problem and therefore there should never be a situation where lethal controls are even considered yet alone provided. The property owner has a staggering number of deterrents, bird exclusion devices and anti roosting products to choose from, most of which are humane, non-lethal and 100% effective.
