Health risks from pest birds in Rock
Mess from pest birds contain a large number of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that causes ornithosis, a lung disease caught via breathing in tainted dust or physical contact with infected surfaces and objects.
Did you know that ornithosis is a serious workplace health risk wherever bird infestations take hold?
This introduces a layer of legal monitoring for food and hospitality establishments within Rock, intensifying the serious safety and health hazards of guano contamination.
Besides pathogenic hazards, guano quickly accumulates within guttering, upon roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Birds occupy sills, rooflines, and eaves before settling. The ensuing droppings beneath these areas speed up stonework deterioration, block gutters, and create immediate slip dangers on walkways below.
Neglecting a bird nuisance at a Rock property invites escalating structural damage and accumulating guano, meaning the essential installation job only grows increasingly expensive as time moves on.
No matter the avian variety, our bespoke preventive strategies guarantee that you, your premises, and the occupants therein remain fully safeguarded from bird-related health hazards.
Pest bird species in Rock
Feral pigeons and seagulls cause the clearest harm on Rock commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and edges.
Starlings create a recurring problem, getting into roof voids through openings that are much smaller than either species needs.
During each bird service, our technicians meticulously remove every guano and nest material before installing any fixings. This essential preparation is important because disturbed dry guano poses serious health risks, whilst discarded nesting material often attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Here are a few of the bird species we look after every day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons routinely congregate in significant numbers throughout city environments.
Did you know pigeon pairs can hatch up to six broods each year? They increase at a remarkable rate on any building with undisturbed perches or loft spaces!
As pigeons regularly come back to their familiar nesting and roost locations, straightforward deterrent measures fail to interrupt this deeply ingrained behavioural pattern.
Efficient pigeon control in Rock involves physical exclusion systems that prevent landing altogether, which subtly directs the birds to find an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have expanded their presence inland, forming permanent nesting colonies across Rock and the broader Midlands.
Did you realise these boisterous birds roost on level roofs in crowded groups? Take care, as they become extremely hostile during breeding season from April to August!
Did you realise gulls are weightier than pigeons? They need sturdy post and wire systems or heavy duty netting instead of the less robust pigeon deterrents!
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are closely tailored to suit each individual location.
Why choose generic packages? We expertly customise our advice and the best solution to fit your specific roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Starlings are a occasional problem bird within Rock.
Penetrating roof voids by way of narrower entry points than pigeons need, they capitalise on open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Over the course of a year, starlings roosting within a roof void collect substantial quantities of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Rock
We implement a broad range of bird control systems, tailoring our strategy to the relevant species, property design, and total scale of the infestation.
No answer is ever provided until we first of all inspect your site and assess the unwanted issue directly.
We complete all site surveys at no cost with no commitment required.
Bird netting
Looking for a ultimate shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most comprehensive exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our company fits UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions configured for particular species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems tension the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
When expertly fitted, netting remains almost imperceptible from ground level, providing a highly discreet yet efficient avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
To successfully remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are safely fixed on sills, copings, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
Instead of establishing a tangible barrier, these systems work by creating the landing experience very unfriendly for the birds.
Select polycarbonate spikes for use on heritage and listed buildings to limit the noticeable appearance of the deterrent installation.
In commercial or commercial spaces where withstanding fouling is prioritised over aesthetic appeal, stainless steel offers greater durability and lengthened lifetime.
We meticulously review the particular needs of your premises prior to suggesting which relevant product will provide the optimal solution.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems secure stainless steel wire between posts to create an unstable landing surface across ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is paramount, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Looking for the ideal discreet deterrent? Wire is excellent for attractive commercial and civic structures! It is excellent for historic buildings too, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To deter undesirable bird behaviour, Bird Free gel is placed in a small container positioned on any location requiring specific protection.
Measuring a bare eight millimetres tall, it is entirely hidden from human eyes on the ground, yet the resident bird population will certainly notice its presence.
Because wild birds detect ultraviolet light, this purpose-made gel causes the surface look to be ablaze.
Where infestations are slight or medium, we employ mild methods to encourage the birds to relocate.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Typically, starlings and sparrows penetrate roof spaces through damaged ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and worn fascias.
Need these spots secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers tailored to the gap size and bird species!
How do we comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We plan exclusion work away from active nesting seasons!
