Benefits of hawking for bird control

Natural & Safe

Hawking is 100% natural, and no animals get harmed in the process. The mere sight of the hawk is enough to instinctively scare the living wits out of pest birds because hawks are apex predators.

No Interruption

Hawking can be conducted without causing any interruption to everyday operations in most businesses. The hawk will spend its time flying around in the air and isn’t interested in interacting with operational activates happening on the ground.

Highly effective

Our Harris’s hawks can cover a very large distance in a small amount of time. Unlike falcons, Harris’s hawks fly at a lower level, making them more visible and intimidating to pigeons and gulls in the area.

Integrated bird pest control

The most effective, long-term way to manage birds is by using a combination of different methods that work together to ensure the pests do not return. Below are the three primary tactical approaches that could be deployed depending on the situation.

Biological controls

Biological control is the use of the pests’ ‘natural enemies’ to eliminate them in a human safe way. In the case of pest birds, hawks are a natural predator, and are highly effective in persuading smaller birds such as gulls and pigeons to find somewhere else to go.

Cultural controls

Cultural control is about understanding what operational procedures are contributing to the pests’ ability to thrive, and making some modifications. Once we know how the pest gains access to food and water on the premises, we may be able to recommend better codes of practices to limit the birds’ access to these.

Physical controls

Mechanical or physical controls can block pests from entering, or make an environment uninhabitable for them. Examples of physical controls for birds include spikes that make pigeon roosting impossible, fire gel to scare the birds, eliminating entry points into buildings, bird netting, and using acoustic or visual scaring technologies.
