Often a colony of birds such as pigeons or gulls will find a nesting spot on your roof or window ledges, high out of reach of the tallest of ladders.
Roofs, or high ledges on buildings provide a secure spot for pigeons to nest as they are away from ground-based predators such as cats and foxes. The higher position allows pigeons to easily spot sources of food and water. A roof can also offer protection from the wind and rain, helping to keep nests dry.
A pigeon colony living and breeding on your roof can cause several problems. Their droppings are unsightly and corrosive, causing damage to stonework and metal work.
Worse still, the droppings can have harmful bacteria and parasites, creating potential health risks for residents and guests.
The combination of the guano, nest remnants and feathers will inevitably lead to blocked gutters or drains, which can cause drainage issues and water damage.
Then there is the noise! Pigeons can be quite vocal, especially during breeding season.
For these hard-to-reach jobs, we have a specialist team of IRATA qualified rope access technicians. This means, whatever the height of your building, we can remove the infestation, clean the bird droppings and prevent recurrence in the future.
We have experience using rope access in a broad range of properties from hospitals to office blocks and sports stadiums. Our team travels up and down the UK, working directly for clients and also supporting other pest control companies.
Remember, if you have a problem with birds such as pigeons, it is important to tackle the problem sooner rather than later and before it turns into significant infestation.
The cost of all Protex bird control solutions are competitive as all works are completed by our in-house team. This includes our abseiling experts when we are dealing with multi-story installations, repairs or removals.
