Health risks from pest birds in Enfield
Pest bird faeces harbour various pathogens.
Dehydrated pigeon guano passively contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a lung illness caught by breathing in polluted dust or coming into contact with polluted surfaces.
In work settings affected by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a specific risk to occupational safety.
Did you know that food and hospitality sites, guano contamination brings about strict regulatory compliance as well as critical health and safety hazards?
Besides pathogenic hazards, guano swiftly builds up within guttering, on roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before nesting, avian species habitually assemble along architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, depositing guano that significantly accelerates the deterioration of stonework, blocks drainage gutters, and causes treacherous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Enfield property ultimately accelerates structural damage, compounds hazardous guano accumulation, and substantially inflates the eventual cost of the necessary mitigation installation over time.
Regardless of the specific avian species, our bespoke plans will successfully protect your premises, the building, and everyone nearby from the different health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Enfield
In Enfield, business properties suffer the most conspicuous deterioration from feral pigeons and seagulls, which make use of flat rooftops and projections for continual roosting shelter.
As a recurring nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through much narrower gaps than either of the other species!
Prior to installing any fixings, our expert team meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This preparation is essential because dry guano creates serious health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material regularly draws secondary infestations to the treated area.
Here are some of the bird species we handle every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons assemble in high numbers in built-up zones.
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can rear up to six broods each year, their population multiplies rapidly upon any structure offering protected ledges or vacant roof voids.
Pigeons predictably revisit established nesting and roosting sites, which means temporary scaring methods fail to alter their habitual behaviour.
Successful pigeon control in Enfield requires physical exclusion systems that prevent landing completely, encouraging the birds to relocate elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Lesser black-backed gulls alongside Herring gulls alongside the lesser black-backed gulls have effectively established themselves in central territories, to become firmly established breeding populations throughout Enfield and the greater Midlands.
Did you know these loud birds roost on smooth roofs in crowded clusters? Watch out, as they get highly hostile during nesting season from April to August!
With the gulls’ significant mass, gulls need robust post-and-wire systems or heavy-duty netting. Lighter pigeon deterrents simply fall short here.
Our systems for bird control for gull colonies are meticulously adapted to fit each specific location.
Rather than using a standard uniform formula, we meticulously customise our professional guidance and final resolution to match your specific roof type and colony size.
Starlings
Starlings surely are a troublesome annual pest bird in Enfield!
By using open ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and damaged fascia boards, they enter roof voids through spaces narrower than those utilised by pigeons.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up considerable amounts of droppings and nesting materials over a single season.
Bird control solutions in Enfield
We systematically choose from our extensive range of bird control procedures, customising each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the scale of the infestation.
We only recommend solutions after inspecting your premises and evaluating the problem population.
Every of our site surveys is entirely complimentary and carries absolutely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
As the most comprehensive technique of avian exclusion, bird netting secures roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to deny pest birds any nesting or roosting sites.
Looking for the best protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net offers bespoke mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Robust stainless steel anchor systems reliably tension these fixings into masonry, steelwork, or timber.
When properly fitted, netting remains practically imperceptible from the pavement, offering a highly refined and successful avian control method.
Bird spikes
To effectively prevent birds a landing space, bird spikes are fitted to ledges and similar surfaces, wall tops, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
They function by turning the landing area feel awkward, softly putting off the birds rather than physically obstructing them.
How do we safeguard valuable heritage and listed buildings subtly? Amazing polycarbonate spikes are the perfect choice for a totally unseen defence!
In workshop or trade settings, stainless steel provides impressive hardiness, which makes it the ideal option when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over looks.
We initially and carefully discover the distinctive character of your area, making sure our ultimate product recommendation is a truly flawless match.
Bird wire
To readily deter pests, bird wire systems utilise tightened stainless steel wire between posts, creating an insecure landing surface on horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly subtle profile, wire is suitable for prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally improper.
Offering an almost invisible defence, wire beautifully preserves the design of prestigious municipal and commercial properties. It gracefully shields historic heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly not feasible.
Bird free gel
To stop unwanted bird activity, just put the brilliant Bird Free gel dish upon whichever surface area you want to protect!
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, it remains virtually unnoticeable from ground level whilst being readily perceived by nearby bird population.
For avian eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialized gel makes the building appear to be vividly ablaze.
Are you dealing with minor bird issues? We will happily persuade them to relocate!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How do starlings and sparrows get into roof spaces? They make use of open soffits, broken fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles!
We cover these entry points using mesh or purpose-made vent covers, determined by the aperture size and bird species.
How do we meet the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We time exclusion work beyond active nesting seasons!
