Bird Proofing Methods
There are various bird restriction methods available, so it is important to contact a professional who can advise on the most suitable technique for you. Normally, a combination of proofing, cleaning, culling and deterrents is required to control the situation effectively.
Our team has many years' experience and JG Pest Control is a fully certified specialist in this industry. Our surveyor will highlight areas of concern and propose the best method of control for your property.
Bird Netting and Mesh
- Versatile - works for most building types and species
- Used by ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco loading bays
- Mesh prevents access beneath solar panels and AC units
- Can be raised over a building for personnel access
Bird Spikes
- Physical barrier preventing landing on ledges and signage
- Not harmful - simply deters birds
- Effective on shop fronts, window sills and protruding ledges
- Can combine with other methods for stubborn sites
Pin and Wire Systems
- A discreet alternative to spikes
- Aesthetically pleasing for listed or sensitive buildings
- Effective deterrent without harming birds
- Suitable for railings and parapet walls
Floating Covers and Deterrent Balls
Floating covers and ball deterrent methods work by camouflaging water surfaces - including reservoirs and flood reliefs - to reduce bird activity in and around the area. These are specialist applications suited to large water bodies and industrial water treatment sites.
