How You Can Deal With Unwanted Birds |
Posted: March 26, 2015 |
Pigeons and seagulls are two extremely common species of birds in the UK. Both are attracted to built up cities since they provide them with easy access to food and safety from predators. Unfortunately, when these birds group on your property, they can cause all manner of problems. Firstly, their droppings can cause an eyesore and pose a considerable health risk. Also it’s very easy for drainpipes to get clogged with the sticks that the birds use to build their nest. Because of this, it’s important that you deal with unwanted birds quickly and effectively. It might be tempting to try and deal with the problem on your own but this is not advisable. In the UK, it’s illegal to harm or kill any wild species of birds, so dealing with problem in a forceful manner could land you in a lot of trouble. This being the case it’s much better to hire a professional bird control company who will be able to deal with the problem on your behalf. Professional companies will have experience dealing with all types of bird infestations and therefore they’ll be able to determine the best approach for your particular problem. Pest control companies use a range of methods to deal with unwanted birds in an effective yet humane. One of the best solutions for getting rid of unwanted birds is bird netting. Netting is extremely versatile and can be used almost anywhere. It works by making it very difficult for birds to land and perch where it is used and therefore forces them to go elsewhere. Bird netting is also available in a range of colours so you can install on your building without it becoming an eyesore. An alternative to netting is bird spikes. Spikes are very effective and can be placed in rows to ensure that birds cannot land anywhere where they’re used. The only downside to spikes is that they can be a little bit unsightly when compared to netting. Lastly is wire and post. Posts are drilled into the fabrication of the building and then wire is placed across them. This works in the same way as netting and spikes in that it prevents birds from being able to land comfortably where it is placed. Wire & post is effective but isn’t as versatile as netting or spikes, it has to be said. London is a city that has a lot of problems with unwanted birds, due to the large number of built up areas. You can find professional pest control companies in London by doing an internet search for ‘Bird control London’ or something similar. There are many excellent companies around London who’ll be able to deal with any type of bird infestation.
