Knowing when it's time for professional bird control

Don’t let bird problems take hold on your property. Understanding when to call a professional is the first crucial step for both businesses and homeowners.

Recognising the early signs of a growing bird issue can prevent significant damage and help keep your property clean and safe for everyone.

If you answer “yes” to any of the questions below, it’s wise to get in touch with a bird control expert.

Is bird mess constantly covering walkways or customer entry points (Commercial) or patios and driveways (Residential)?

For commercial properties, regularly having to clean bird droppings from customer access areas looks unprofessional and is a slip hazard that can negatively impact your brand image. For residential properties, persistent fouling of patios, decks, and driveways detracts from the home’s appearance and can make outdoor spaces unusable. Professional bird control experts can put in place ways to stop birds from perching in these spots and keep the areas clean.

Have groups of wild pigeons or other pest birds made your roof their regular home?

Whether it’s a business premises or a private residence, when birds consistently gather on the roof, it can lead to real damage. Their droppings can block gutters and harm the roof materials. Bird nests can also be a fire risk. For commercial buildings, blocked drainage can lead to water damage affecting inventory or equipment. For residential properties, it can cause leaks and damage to the interior. We know how to safely remove these birds and prevent them from coming back.

Do you often see birds eating from bins or off the ground around your property?

Birds feeding around your waste disposal areas can spread germs, which is unhealthy for both customers and residents. This can also attract other unwanted pests like rats and insects, posing health risks to both commercial and residential environments. Our bird control professionals can install effective bird deterrents to stop birds from getting to your rubbish.

Have you noticed metal or brickwork on your building looking worn or damaged, possibly from bird droppings?

Bird poo or guano is very acidic and can slowly erode building materials like metal and brick on any type of property. For commercial buildings, this can affect structural integrity and lead to costly repairs, potentially disrupting business operations. For residential properties, it can detract from the home’s value and result in expensive fixes. Experts can clean the affected areas and put the best deterrent in place to prevent further damage.

Are pest birds, such as pigeons or gulls, bothering people nearby, trying to get food from them?

If birds are actively seeking food from people around your commercial property, it can be annoying for customers and create an unpleasant environment. Around residential areas, this behaviour can be a nuisance for homeowners and their neighbours. Bird control specialists can implement solutions to discourage this behaviour and relocate problem birds if needed.
