Bird Proofing You Can Rely On Throughout Gloucester & The Cotswolds
Humane Bird Proofing Solutions
Birds are a key part of our environment, but they can be a nuisance if they land, roost, perch or nest on your commercial property or home roof. Bird droppings are highly corrosive and carry diseases that can spread to humans.
If birds roost or nest on commercial sites, such as warehouses, loading bays, airports or factories, they can disrupt your business operations. For homes, we can carry out bird proofing for solar panels to stop birds nesting underneath them and damaging your panels and roof tiles.
For sites across Gloucester, Gloucestershire and beyond, Arrest The Pest offers bird proofing as part of our bird control service. For large commercial sites, we can provide bird proofing alongside our commercial pest control services to protect your property and reputation, as well as public health, from pest birds. Call 07766083234 to get a tailored bird proofing plan.
A Range Of Bird Proofing Methods
Bird proofing is the process of deterring pest birds from your site. It is the most effective method of bird control, as birds are legally protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, meaning it is illegal to kill, harm, injure or remove the nests of wild birds in the UK.
As such, if you have birds nesting on your site, you might need to wait until the eggs have hatched and the young have left the nest before removing the used nest and deterring other birds. This could take months, and lead to serious disruption or even a shutdown of your commercial site. Homeowners could face expensive bills to fix solar panels or damaged roof areas.
Thankfully, Arrest The Pest can help. There are several methods our team can use can keep pest birds at bay. These include stainless steel bird spike installation, bird netting, bird post and wire deterrents and other solutions. When you contact us, we’ll arrange a site visit and create a bespoke plan for your organisation.
Get Customised Bird Proofing Services
Bird proofing isn’t a one-size-fits all solution. Every site is unique, and the type of bird proofing you need depends on various factors, including the size of the site, the type of structures and buildings you have, and the bird species found in the area.
If you have livestock or public visitors, then they are also a consideration that needs to be taken into account when creating a bird proofing strategy. With Arrest The Pest, you get bespoke bird proofing and bird control solutions that will provide lasting protection.
Alongside bird proofing, we can also offer a range of bird control support, including removing bird mess, getting rid of nests and other debris, and more. To start the bird control process, call us on 07766083234 today.
Bird Proofing FAQs
Will Birds Be Harmed?
When done correctly by experts like the team at Arrest The Pest, bird proofing doesn’t harm birds. Our solutions are harmless and designed to change bird’s natural behaviour and make them less likely to visit your buildings. This might be by making surfaces uncomfortable to perch on, using bird wire or bird spikes, or by creating a physical barrier with bird netting. We can also use electric bird deterrents where necessary.
What Pest Bird Species Can You Deter?
Arrest The Pest has the skills to deter pest birds of all species, including pigeons, seagulls, crows, sparrows, starlings and more. Our team can stop birds nesting underneath solar panels or on other roof areas, and reduce the chances of them perching on ledges such as window sills or balconies, to protect your property. We can tailor our bird proofing solutions and use specific bird control products depending on the species of birds you have in your area.
How Long Does Bird Proofing Last?
When installed correctly, bird proofing solutions can last for 20-30 years or longer. It is a cost-effective, long lasting solution to deter birds and protect buildings and structures.
What Is The Most Effective Bird Deterrent?
The most effective bird deterrent depends on a range of factors, including the type of site you manage, the bird species you’re dealing with and the size of your property. Our team can provide you with a customised bird proofing plan that suits your unique needs.
Can You Carry Out Bird Proofing Yourself?
While there are many DIY bird proofing solutions available, they are often less effective than the options available to RSPH level 2 certified pest controllers like Arrest The Pest, which aren’t available to the general public. Also, if you install bird proofing ineffectively, then nuisance birds may return. Additionally, many bird proofing installation projects require skills working at heights and the right equipment, without which you may hurt yourself or damage your property. That’s why it’s often cheaper and easier to get professional bird proofing from Arrest The Pest.
