Bird Control FAQs

Are Birds Protected By Law?

In the UK, birds are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which prohibits anyone from killing them or removing their nests without a license. As such, bird proofing using bird spikes or netting to deter birds before they roost or build nests on your property is the most effective technique.


What Are The Dangers Of Pest Birds?

Birds can cause a variety of health and safety issues for businesses, as bird droppings carry diseases that can spread to humans. Large birds, such as pigeons or gulls, can cause a disturbance and generally make your property look and feel untidy. For homes, birds can nest under solar panels, which can damage them and your roof. As such, it’s important that you use preventative measures to keep nuisance birds away.


How Much Does Bird Control Cost?

Every bird control project is different, and the cost of yours will depend on a range of factors, including the size of your site, the species of bird you’re dealing with and any other wildlife management or pest control services you need to ensure the safety of your property and visitors. Our experts can provide you with a bespoke quote for highly effective bird control that will protect your home or business and meet your exact requirements.


What Is The Most Effective Bird Control Method?

The most effective bird control measures for your site will depend on a variety of different factors, including the size of the property, the type of bird problem you’re dealing with and others. Bird netting and bird control spikes are often popular choices, because they create a physical barrier to stop the birds from accessing your site and buildings. Our technicians can carry out a survey and provide you with a bird control plan that will help you to keep pest birds away.
