Bird Proofing in Channel Islands

Bird proofing is one method of controlling birds that are nuisance pests, like feral pigeons or seagulls. Birds and their nests are protected by law and so cannot be wiped out or damaged. Bird proofing is therefore an extremely common approach to controlling these pests. There are a wide selection of distinct ways of bird proofing, and these can be tailored to suit many properties and to control any kind of infestation.

For most buildings, bird proofing is done by installing bird spikes on areas where they nest. These are incredibly common in public areas such as high streets as they stop pigeons and other pest birds from roosting and fouling the pathways or shop entrances. These spikes are made from polybycarbonate or stainless steel, and gently resist birds as they try to roost. Another wide spread bird proofing approach is to use bird netting. This can prevent birds from roosting in large open areas.

There’s also bird control methods suitable for use on listed buildings or other places where the external character of the building needs to be conserved. Non-toxic gels and noise emitters can installed which will gradually deter birds from roosting in an area. Additionally, statues of predatory birds can be added. Another option is to live fly predatory birds in an area which can have a significant impact on the pest birds.

Professional pest control companies can fit a wide range of bird proofing to suit any building or area.
