Health risks from pest birds in Newcastle
Pest bird droppings unseenly harbour a hazardous array of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
Initially, we must acknowledge ornithosis as a significant occupational hazard in areas with current bird infestations.
Newcastle food and hospitality operators face up to tight regulatory risk alongside the serious health and safety dangers of guano contamination.
Apart from carrying disease, guano swiftly collects inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
First, birds collect on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before perching. Consequently, their accumulated waste accelerates stonework decay, clogs gutters, and creates hazardous slip hazards on the surfaces below.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Newcastle property invites increasing structural damage and growing guano, making sure the essential installation job only gets increasingly expensive as time goes on.
Whatever winged species turns up, our bespoke systems protect your premises. Experience true peace of mind. We safeguard you and your community from health hazards linked to birds.
Pest bird species in Newcastle
In Newcastle, commercial buildings suffer the clearest degradation from feral pigeons and seagulls, which utilise horizontal rooftops and outcrops for ongoing roosting shelter.
They pose a recurring difficulty, entering roof voids through considerably smaller openings than any one of the remaining species.
During each bird service, our technicians meticulously remove every guano and nest material before adding any fixings. This important preparation is crucial because dry guano when disturbed poses significant health risks, whilst left nesting material often attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Which fabulous feathered species do we manage every single day? Take a look!
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons absolutely like to assemble in large flocks throughout busy city centre areas!
Are you aware a pigeon pair can produce up to six clutches each year? They increase very quickly on virtually any structure with undisturbed perches or roof voids!
When addressing this issue, we have to understand that pigeons consistently come back to their selected nesting spots, meaning short-term scattering methods can not alter their patterns.
Effective pigeon management in Newcastle depends on physical exclusion systems that completely prohibit alighting, thereby encouraging these birds to find alternative habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully migrated inland, creating permanent nesting populations throughout Newcastle and the greater Midlands.
Did you notice these loud birds roost on flat roofs in crowded clusters? Be careful, as they get extremely aggressive during mating season from April to August!
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls need robust post and wire systems or strong netting over the weaker deterrents employed for typical pigeon control.
We customise each gull colony bird control system for the individual location.
To support you best, we adapt our recommendations and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings regularly constitute a annual avian issue in the Newcastle locality.
By using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and split fascia boards, they reach roof voids through spaces smaller than those used by pigeons.
Imagine the massive volume of waste and nesting waste a starling roost generates inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Newcastle
We supply a comprehensive suite of avian management techniques, carefully adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall extent of the infestation.
Our process commences by reviewing your site and the problem population before we propose any solutions.
Our site assessments are entirely complimentary, so you are under no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
To achieve maximum protection, bird netting effectively secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which reliably blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
Need the ultimate protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net delivers custom mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Durable stainless steel anchor systems safely tension these fixings into stonework, steel, or wooden frames.
See up! Correctly installed netting is barely unseen from the street, offering an incredibly subtle and successful bird solution.
Bird spikes
How do we stop pesky landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto raised ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
They discourage birds by turning landing surfaces less comfortable instead of blocking them.
As preserving valuable heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect option because their discouraging appearance remains almost entirely unseen.
Stainless steel material offers superior durability, making it a good fit for commercial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is prioritised over aesthetics.
We initially and carefully uncover the distinctive narrative of your property, ensuring our ultimate product recommendation is a genuinely ideal fit.
Bird wire
By making use of tensioned stainless steel wire secured among posts, bird wire systems create a unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Providing a very unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly unsuitable.
Providing an almost invisible shield, wire carefully maintains the appearance of notable civic and business properties. It gracefully protects historic frontages where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly not feasible.
Bird free gel
Fix the small Bird Free gel dish on any area that requires cover from nuisance bird activity.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, it is virtually invisible from ground level whilst being easily perceived by your local bird population.
For bird eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building appear to be vividly ablaze.
In cases of moderate avian activity, we use mild discouragement to encourage their move.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrows easily sneak into quiet roof spaces through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
We cover these entry points using mesh or custom-made vent covers, dictated by the aperture dimensions and bird species.
How do you comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We plan exclusion work beyond active nesting seasons!
