Bird Proofing – Woodford
People commonly associate problem birds with pigeons and gulls. Did you know though, there is a wide range of birds that can cause costly damage to your premises? Crows, ravens, magpies and jackdaws are just some of the other species that can nest on ledges, roofs and air conditioning units, causing havoc. Other species include sparrows and starlings. Under the wildlife and countryside act 1981 birds, their nests and eggs are protected and you would face prosecution if you killed or removed them yourself. Thankfully, Tracker Pest Control are fully trained and experienced in ridding these unwanted pests from your property or business site and operate a fully comprehensive bird proofing solution in and around the Woodford area.
Pigeons and other vermin or rodent birds don’t just perch around on the outside of buildings. Some types of birds can infiltrate the walls of your home, living inside cavity walls or in the roof space, making terrible messes and causing damage. In addition, if a bird dies in a difficult-to-access space, it could result in unpleasant smells.
Tracker Pest Control specialises in 3 tried and tested methods of bird proofing, prevention and avian pest control in Woodford. These are:
- Netting – Using netting is a safe, humane and adaptable way of preventing pest birds roosting on or around your commercial premises. Netting can be cut or tailored to your specific requirements, which means both small nooks or large expansive areas can be covered. The netting excludes birds from flying into particular areas, such as courtyards and canopies. They are available in a range of neutral colours as well as different gauges depending on the type of birds you are dealing with.
- Anti-Perch Spikes – Depending on the size of bird you are trying to discourage from landing on your property or commercial premises, anti-perch spikes are an effective preventative method. Used mostly for larger pests such as pigeons and seagulls, the small, thin spikes humanely deter birds from perching on ledges, pipes and other surfaces. You will often see them above ground level where they are used to stop birds resting above people or customers. They are also an effective way of preventing damage caused by bird droppings.
- Bird Scarers/Noise Emitters – Bird dispersal systems and bird scarers are popular low-cost options for dealing with the birds in a residential area. These often emit noises that scare away the birds, while statues of owls have been known to frighten the birds away.
