The fouling of buildings and monuments frequently occurs at places where the birds nest or roost, leaving unsightly droppings over buildings and causing danger to pedestrians due to slippery pavements caused by droppings.

Properties both commercial and residential, modern and historic now benefit greatly from our bird proofing services.

Feral Pigeons.

Feral pigeons are regarded as potential transmitters of disease, it is known that a high proportion of pigeons are effected with Ornithosis (a mild form of Psittacosis), these are particularly hazardous were food is stored in warehouses and processing plants and may be eaten or contaminated, and the machinery fouled.

Gulls.

Gulls are medium sized to large and long winged, conspicuous birds which occur in large social flocks. They roost on roofs on private homes, hotels and large warehouses particularly in coastal towns.

The fabric of buildings can be damaged by their constant pecking at roof materials which gradually lets in dampness, and also results in blocked gutters caused by nest debris and droppings as well as fouling of washing lines and damage to garden plants.

Their habit of feeding at refuse tips implicates the transmission of Salmonella SPP within their droppings.

The Food Safety Act 1990, places a formal responsibility on organisations to act with 'due diligence' in relation to standards of public hygiene.

Our surveyors will carry out a thorough inspection of the building and the problems encountered by birds and then provide a detailed specification employing up to six different methods of control, from bird spiking to netting along with an estimate for the cost of protecting your building from bird damage.
