Bird Control
Bird Control Swindon
Most birds are a beautiful part of our wildlife, but some have become urban pests. This has led to an ever-rising number of insurance claims being recorded directly due to these pests.
Birds, such as pigeons and gulls, are becoming an increasing nuisance due to the damage they cause buildings, stairways and paths, due to accumulations of fouling and to pecking damage. The acidic excreta can damage the building itself leading to expensive repairs and significant cleaning costs.
They are also commonly associated with parasites that can spread from bird nests and bite people. Having a high pressure of pest birds nesting and roosting on your premises can make buildings look unsightly. Birds like seagulls also produce annoying noises and when they have young within nests they can become aggressive and swoop on unsuspecting passers-by.
Not only do pest birds present a problem to buildings, they also present a health and safety risk to people, as they can transmit many potentially fatal diseases to humans such as salmonellosis and ornithosis.
Commercial Bird Control
Prestige Pest Management utilises a wide array of specialist non-lethal bird management solutions including netting, spikes, wire systems, lasers, electric deterrents, repellent gels and scaring technologies.
The selection of system is building-specific: through years of experience, we know what system and components work best where.
This is necessary for public health and safety reasons and where legislation allows, we also offer physical removal or humane lethal bird control, including catch and release, shooting, trapping and egg and nest removals.
