Anti-perch spikes are an effective way of deterring birds from roosting on a variety of building and structural surfaces. Installation of bird spikes will not cause damage to your building and can easily be removed if required in the future.

There are a variety of bird spikes on the market, and our bird control team will advise on the best solution to suit the area you need to protect, from a security camera to a parapet wall. Our standard bird spikes are heavy duty 304-grade stainless steel spikes with UV-stabilised polycarbonate bases. These are usually installed to surfaces with neutral elastic, 1-component adhesive. In cases where the bird spikes cannot be glued directly to the surface, we can use gutter or window attachments. Spikes come in a range of widths, lengths and densities, depending on the depth of area that requires protection and on the species of pest bird.

Anti-perching wire works in a similar way for low-pressure infestation areas and provides a better looking solution, if this is desired.

Bird netting is the most effective and long-term bird control solution, offering protection from any species of pest bird. The installation of exclusion netting provides protection for a larger area than any other solution on the market. Exclusion netting can be used horizontally or vertically to protect a wide range of structures, either permanently or as a short-term solution.

This system of bird control will protect canopies, light wells, the underside of bridges, building facades and a wide range of other structures. An additional benefit of exclusion netting is that it offers protection from fouling and nesting.

The Agrilaser is a bird control system which uses a laser to deter pest birds including Canada Geese, Pigeons, Seagulls, Crows, Sparrows and all UK pest species. Where access is challenging or bird netting is beyond budget constraints the Agrilaser system is a cost-effective solution.

The MICROBEE Bird Control team can survey and install the Agrilaser system. As safe, non-harmful deterrent, birds will treat the laser beam as a physical obstacle and avoid the area. After long-term use birds will see the area as dangerous and not return. As with all laser devices the Agrilaser has to be used within strict guidelines.

If you would like to know more about the Agrilaser system and how it could be an effective bird control solution for your premises contact our Bird Control team.

If you have large areas of existing bird fouling and old bird nests that need removing our bird control team can clean and sterilise affected surfaces. Unfortunately, due to the corrosive nature of bird fouling there maybe residual staining on the surface that cannot be removed without damaging the surface. Safety information for our disinfectants and chemicals we use can be found in our Knowledge Base. It is important that bird fouling is removed prior to the installation of bird proofing.

Unless surfaces are clean from bird fouling then adhesives for bird control methods such as bird spikes will fail and pest birds will return over time. Cleaning pigeon droppings and bird fouling is a simple process, techniques and chemicals used will depend on the location, density and age of the fouling.

A natural, non-lethal method of deterring pest bird species include using bird of prey. The birds of prey are trained specifically to deter the birds from staying in the area and not to harm them.

Using bird of prey provides temporary means of reducing the number of pest birds on a site, whilst more permanent solutions (mechanical barriers) can be implemented.

Egg replacement programmes

An effective method of managing pest bird populations is to remove the bird’s eggs from the nest before they hatch. Fake or “dummy” eggs are then put into the nest in their place. The gulls will not be able to tell the difference and these eggs will of course never hatch! Gulls are protected and although actively killing birds is illegal in the UK, egg replacement is not and is an effective, humane alternative.

Once the gulls have stopped frequenting the area, the bird team can discuss other methods of stopping the gulls roosting in the first place and making the buildings a much less desirable place to nest.

Parallel Wire

This is an alternative to roof netting. The orange wire is run parallel across the roof at 400mm intervals. This gap is not enough for gulls to be able to land on the roof.

Culling

Culling is only suggested once all other methods and resources involved have been carefully evaluated. Culling take place mostly at night or early morning under risk evaluated conditions and with special consideration to health and safety and all legislation involved
