Pest Bird Problems
Diseases
Pest bird species are renowned for their disease spreading capabilities and when a large population gathers in a single location the risks are significantly higher.
Pest birds carry many different pathogens that can cause a range of health problems when transferred to humans.
In fact, it has been found that around half of feral pigeons, one of the most common pest birds in Dundee, carries an infectious disease that has the potential to harm humans.
The most common method of transmission is through contact with bird droppings, either via accidental consumption or by inhaling flakes of faeces that have dried and become airborne.
Just some of the diseases that have been found to be spread by pest bird species in the UK include E. Coli, Salmonella, Histoplasmosis, and Psittacosis.
By removing a population of pest birds you will dramatically reduce the threat of these diseases being spread and create a much happier and safer environment.
Damaging Property
Bird droppings are incredibly acidic, and even the thinnest layer can cause building surfaces to erode at a much faster rate than would otherwise be the case.
Without pest prevention measures in place, bird infestations can do significant property damage that could cost you heavily in the long-term.
Rust, leaks, and worn out unsafe walkways are all common sights on properties that have been dealing with a bird related pest problem.
The sooner you contact a pest control Dundee expert, the better your chance of preventing serious damage being done to the structure of your property.
Quality of life
The problems caused by birds do not end at the physical, and living and/or working alongside these unwanted pests can have a major negative effect on your mental health.
Not only are birds extremely loud during mating season, making sleep extremely difficult, they can also be aggressive when you go too close.
Although actual attacks are rare, being the subject of aggressive behaviour can make you feel unsafe and extremely uncomfortable in your own home.
Professional pest control will help you take control back, finally giving you the peace of mind you have been craving and dramatically improving the quality of life for everyone in and around your property.
Pest Bird Species
At Pest Bird Solutions Dundee, the main pest bird species that we provide commercial and domestic pest control solutions for include:
- Feral Pigeons (Columba livia)
- Gulls (Laridae)
- Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)
- House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)
- Canada Geese (Branta canadensis)
Before you think about attempting to tackle your bird pest problems alone, it is ESSENTIAL that you realise that the vast majority of birds are not considered pest species and are strictly protected under animal welfare laws.
Even species such as those mentioned, are only considered ‘pests’ in certain circumstances and by taking action against them you may accidentally be breaking the law.
For this reason, you should NEVER attempt DIY home pest control solutions for a bird pest control issue and always use the professional services of a highly trained pest controller who will be aware of the exact regulations.
Bird Control Dundee Services
Here at Pest Bird Solutions, we have developed a huge range of different effective bird control solutions to suit the needs of all our customers.
When you choose us to provide you with bird pest solutions, one of our qualified technicians will attend your site, conduct a survey to identify the most effective methods to help resolve your problems.
They will then use all their skills and experience to implement it. Some of the most effective bird proofing options include:
Bird Netting
Netting is a wonderfully simple bird deterrent, simply making it impossible for target species to gain access to places you don’t want them to.
Our netting is constructed from an extremely flexible UV stabilised Polyethylene that will last for as long as 10 years before needing to be replaced.
Available in a huge number of different colours, sizes, and thicknesses, netting is highly customisable and can be refined to suit the exact requirements of your site.
In fact, there is almost no situation where netting would not be effective from protecting an entire commercial property such as a warehouse, to being utilised as a domestic garden pest control measure to protect a single plant.
Bird Spikes
Bird spikes are far less dangerous than their name may seem and are actually a very humane method of bird pest control.
Constructed from a combination of blunt metal points and a flexible plastic base, and come in strips that can be attached to almost any surface.
Bird spikes work by simply making it extremely difficult for large pest birds such as gulls and pigeons from landing on a surface, forcing them to take off again if they attempt to do so.
Spikes are particular useful in hard to access roosting spots where other preventative measures cannot be installed, such as windowsill, ledges, and balconies.
Deterrent Devices
Most pest birds will choose urban areas for safety and ease of access to food and if they believe there may be a predator in the area, your property will become a lot less attractive.
For this reason, the best deterrents are those which mimic the activities of a predator species such as a bird of prey.
If your pest bird problem is relatively new, or you want to prevent one from developing, installing one of the following deterrent devices may be the perfect solution:
- Plastic or stone replica models of predators
- Scaring devices such as motion detection sprinklers, ultrasonic repellents, or scarecrows.
- Bird of prey shaped kites
- Reflecting discs such as broken CDs that spin around and reflect the sun.
Bird Removal
In extreme circumstances where the bird population has grown too large to be dealt with through deterrents alone, or deterrents have been unsuccessful, specialist bird removal may be required. For those in such situations, we provide:
- Bird Trapping
- Bird Shooting
- Falconry
These services should only ever be conducted in a highly controlled environment by licensed and experienced professionals.
