Non Harmful Bird Control

Companies that value corporate and social responsibility are choosing effective bird control methods that don’t harm the surrounding of wildlife. Nuisance bird infestations have been creating problems for many businesses and homes throughout the company and many people are not aware of the rules for dealing with wildlife pests.

The majority of bird control companies are supporters of the Think Wildlife campaign (CRRU) and will work to swiftly and effectively eradicate a pest problem while ensuring that no surrounding wildlife is harmed. Local companies are often better equipped to deal with a pest situation as they will have knowledge of the local area and laws which can be effectively applied when dealing with the problem.

The most common nuisance birds are seagulls and pigeons and these birds can cause a number of problems for both businesses and homes, particularly when it comes to the development and construction of new buildings. Birds can also create a problem due to fouling; bird fouling can create a major hazard to both staff and the public and can also cause respiratory disease.

While here are a number of non harmful ways to deter nuisance birds, the most common by far is the use of a falconry response programme to scare the birds away from the area. When used prior to the nesting season this method can prevent birds from creating a nest in the area so they won’t become a permanent problem.

When falconry is not effective or not applicable to the area there are many other methods that can deter birds such as netting, bird spikes, bird wires and audio deterrents that ensure no birds are able to stay or nest in the area. Each nuisance bird situation is different and must be carefully evaluated by a professional before action is taken, particularly due to the laws that protect animals from harm. Prevention is far better than cure and much more cost effective so establishing bird control systems in the early stages of development is always recommended.
