Bird Control Aberdeen Problems

Nuisance birds may not be the first species that comes to mind when thinking about pest control issues, but without swift action, birds can spread disease at a prolific rate and cause extensive property damage in a similar manner to rodents and insect pests.

If you are dealing with an infestation of pest birds on your property it is vital that you take fast action to protect the safety of those in close proximity.

The risks associated with pest birds include:

Spreading of disease

Pest birds are prolific disease spreaders, with feral pigeons alone carrying as many as 110 different pathogens that can pose a genuine threat to humans.

Bird droppings are by far the most common method of transmission of these pathogens between birds and humans, either through direct contact, accidental consumption, or by dried flakes becoming airborne and inhaled.

Dangerous diseases carried by pest birds in the UK include salmonella, E. Coli, histoplasmosis, and psittacosis.

Property Damage

A large population of pest birds can do considerable damage to your property if left to their own devices.

Bird droppings are extremely toxic in their composition, meaning that when a layer is allowed to accumulate it will dramatically increase the erosion of metal and stone surfaces.

This can lead to walkways wearing away and becoming unsafe, roofs beginning to leak, and the structural integrity of the entire building coming into question.

Without bird proofing measures being put in place, these factors can combine to create an extremely unsafe environment for residents, staff, and visitors and could cost you thousands of pounds in repairs in the long-term.

General disruption

The fact is, living or working close to a population of pest birds can be a nightmare.

The noise alone created by birds can make sleep and concentration extremely tough to find, not to mention the unpleasant experience of walking past aggressive birds on a regular basis.

Freeing yourself from a pest bird infestation will not only create a much safer physical environment, but it will also dramatically improve your mental state and quality of life.

Pest Bird Species

We offer bird proofing preventative measures to deal with infestations of the following species in the Aberdeen area:

• Feral Pigeons (Columba livia)
• Gulls (Laridae)
• Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)
• House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)
• Canada Geese (Branta canadensis)

It is vital to note that only a few select species of bird can be classed as a ‘pest’, and that action against a non-target species is illegal under Animal Welfare legislation.

For this reason, you must be incredibly careful with a pest problem involving birds, and should ALWAYS consult with a professional pest control company.

Bird Control Aberdeen Solutions

We provide cost effective solutions to all forms of pest problems involving bird species.

Our technicians have all the latest bird control technology at their disposal, and will choose the perfect solution to best tackle the specific situation you are dealing with.

Some of our most popular bird control options include:

Bird Netting

Bird netting is a simple yet incredibly effective proofing method, making it impossible for nuisance birds to access areas you don’t want.

We will install netting protecting every single potential roosting spot in the target area, making sure that birds will quickly realise they are not welcome and move on to easier targets.

One of the main benefits of netting is that it is an incredibly versatile, and can be used in a huge range of different circumstances.

From multi-storey car parks and large scale warehouses, to solar panels and domestic gardens, netting can be installed effectively pretty much anywhere by our experienced technicians.

The material used in our netting is also incredibly durable and discreet, only visible from within a few metres and resistant to the conditions of even the most extreme of Aberdeen winters.

Bird Spikes

Most effective against larger birds such as feral pigeons and gulls, preventing them from landing in common roosting areas such as windowsills, ledges, balconies, and signs.

Despite what you might think when hearing the word ‘spikes’, bird spike systems are completely humane, simply acting as a physical barrier preventing birds from perching on ledges.

Bird spikes come in flexible strips of blunt metal prongs attached to a polycarbonate base that can be attached to almost any surface.

Bird Wire

Bird wire is another highly effective physical barrier that can be installed in common roosting spots, getting in the way of birds trying to land and making it extremely uncomfortable if they do.

Other Deterrents

Other deterrent methods that our expert technicians may recommend include:

• Avishock
• Bird Gel
• Scarers
• Model predators
• Motion detecting sprinklers
• Laser systems
• Ultra-sound systems

Bird Removal

If deterring birds is not an option, possibly due to the location, or because a population of pest birds has already grown out of hand, we also offer specialist removal methods to tackle existing infestations. These include:

Shooting

Our bird shooting services are conducted by a trained marksmen, using rifles and not shotguns, and will only ever be carried out in a contained environment.

Trapping

There as strict guidelines on the placing of bird traps, including how they often they must be checked and the manner in which trapped birds should either be released or disposed of.

Falconry

Falconry involves the flying of a Harris Hawk or similar over a rooftop or area of land in order to scare away birds who are roosting there and deter them from ever returning.

There is extremely strict legislation covering the treatment of birds in the UK, meaning that you should NEVER attempt DIY bird removal and always use a BCPA accredited respected pest control firm.
