How to Get Rid of Unwanted Birds? In the UK, we like to see ourselves as a nation of animal lovers. There are many species of birds in the UK and most of them do not pose any real problems for people in their day-to-day lives. However there are certain species of birds, namely pigeons and seagulls; that tend to group and nest in places where they are not welcome. When these birds group on top of buildings they can cause a range of problems. Firstly their droppings pose a health hazard and can spread disease. They can also clog up drainpipes and generally be an unwanted eyesore. Most people who own a building will not want any types of birds gathering there for these reasons. When trying to deal with a bird infestation, it’s important to remember that it’s illegal in the UK to kill or cause harm to birds. Therefore you shouldn’t consider any forceful means of getting rid of them since you could end up facing legal action. Instead you should seek out a bird control company that can deal with the problem effectively yet humanely. Bird control services throughout West Midlands are not hard to find so if you have a problem with a bird infestation in London, fear not. A professional pest control company will have experience dealing with all types of pests, including birds, rodents and insects so they’ll know the best and most effective way to tackle your particular problem.
As far as birds are concerned, one of the very best means of preventing them from landing on a building is to install bird netting. Bird netting is a solution that will stop birds from landing wherever it’s installed. It’s very versatile and can be used in many hard to reach places such as on bridges and scaffolding. It’s very easy to fit and also long lasting so it will require minimal maintenance. You can also choose from a range of colours to match the exterior of your building.
Bird spikes are an alternative to netting. They can be installed in rows and columns, which makes them very effective for use on the edge of buildings. They are slightly more tricky to install than netting and they can be a bit of an eyesore if they’re in plain sight. However spikes do provide a very effective means of keeping birds away from a building. Lastly there is wire and post. Wire and post is exactly what it sounds like – posts are drilled into the fabrication of the building and a wire is then stretched across them. Just like netting and spikes, this stops birds from being able to land there. Wire and post is most suitable for flat surfaces where there’s enough room to secure the posts.
