Controlling Nuisance Birds

By Riley Green


Bird problems have become a major disruption to businesses all over the country and there are a number of methods to prevent them nesting. However not all methods leave the wildlife unharmed and may even break the law. Companies that value their corporate and social responsibility are recommended to learn what the laws are and consult professional bird control experts.

A professional bird control service will be able to identify the best method in dealing with each particular nuisance bird problem and quickly eradicate the problem without endangering the wildlife. The majority of bird control services are supporters of the Think Wildlife campaign (CRRU) and are experienced enough to know how to deal with each bird problem that they come across. A local company is always recommended as they will be able to assess the situation based on the areas wildlife, ensuring that no problems are caused by bird control.

Nuisance birds can be a problem for both homes and businesses and the most common pests are seagulls and pigeons. These birds can disrupt businesses by causing major delays to construction areas and development while also causing a danger to the public and staff by fouling in areas that are regularly used. Bird fouling can cause respiratory illness as well as being a hazard to people.

There are a number of ways to deter nuisance birds and one of the most popular is the use of falconry to scare birds away from the area. Falconry response programmes can be used prior to the start of the nesting season to prevent birds from building nests in the area so that they will not stay.

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.
