About birds in the UK
Our local and experienced bird specialists offer effective treatments that provide a comprehensive bird deterrent solution, such as hawking and nest removal. These are all carried out effectively, with the minimum of disruption to your business. The best way to discourage birds for good and prevent them from returning, is to remove their food sources, however in busy urban areas this is not always a practical solution. Further methods of prevention include removing access to nesting sites. Call us today so we can assess the problem and implement the most suitable control method. We are able to fully deploy all aspects of bird proofing, including hawking services, bird spikes, fire gels and acoustic deterrents . We can do an in-depth, free of charge survey in the first instance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a feral pigeon look like?
How quickly do feral pigeons multiply?
Where do feral pigeons live?
What are the signs of a feral pigeon infestation?
- Overflowing drains and pipes are often caused by pigeon droppings.
- Large flocks of birds congregating around specific roofing areas.
- Water damage to the property from holes that pigeons have made in roofing.
- Often sounds of cooing can be heard from within the walls and roof near a nesting site. If you can hear cooing during the night and early morning you may have a problem.
Does a feral pigeon infestation need controlling?
- Pigeons can spread bacteria and diseases. These include salmonella and a disease called Psittacosis, which can be fatal. Handling pigeons and their droppings is best avoided and you certainly don’t want them around the home.
- Pigeons can also infect human beings with bird mites, which are another difficult pest to get rid of. If pigeons die or leave their nest, the mites will travel to areas around the nest, looking for another host.
- Pigeon droppings are acidic and can rot wood and damage brick work, making them a serious liability to property.
- Killing the birds or damaging their eggs and nests is prohibited according to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Some nets and traps that are set up to deter pigeons can kill them, which can lead to prosecution.
- Therefore it is best to get professional help to install deterrents and patch up any holes where pigeons might access to your property.
