Bird Control

Bird Control
There are many benefits gained from bird proofing and control, which can result in significant savings in time and money. Prevention of defacement to buildings due to nesting and roosting will lead to a reduction in cleaning and maintenance costs. The removal of frequent fouling to entrances and pavements, which can become slippery and hazardous, will improve the overall environment for your employees and your clients. Noise, smell and the risk of serious infection will be eliminated along with the chance of secondary pest infestation. 
Overall the health and safety  of your premises will be improved, enhancing your company image and protecting customer relationships. 

Attacks by gulls on people are on the increase, especially during the breeding season from May to August, so providing an effective deterrent can eliminate any worries.

Hawking	Egg and Nest Removal
An entirely natural solution.	Reduces overall flock numbers and  encourages birds to move on.
• Pitting nature against nature  • Birds of prey convince gulls and pigeons that there is a real threat in their nesting area • Consistent regular presence of the bird of prey helps reduce the number of nests/eggs on site as the birds fear for any young • Yearly programmes maintain a consistent bird of prey presence on a site and encourage the birds to find a “safer” nesting area  • Specific nesting season programmes available  • We employ only fully trained birds and qualified handlers	• Removal of eggs prevents the adult birds from raising young on a site  • Reduction in size of flock and lack of young birds denies the flock future breeding numbers  • Hawks can be flown during these removals if flocks are aggressive or numerous
Specification  • Harris Hawks are the preferred bird of prey  • Birds maintained and cared for following strict guidelines  • Programmes tailored to individual sites  • One or two birds flown during treatments	Typical clearance programme specification  • Minimum of six treatments carried out, monthly or weekly as required  • Two men on site at all times in line with  Health & Safety guidelines  • During initial visits only eggs are removed and fake egg replacement is used to prevent further egg laying  • Final visit involves the removal of all nests on site  • All eggs, nests and related materials treated with a Biocide which renders materials inert and safe to dispose of  • All materials removed off site for safe disposal
