Services
Gull Control
Our gull control specialists address urban nesting issues using legally compliant methods. By employing trained raptors and physical deterrents, we disrupt breeding cycles and prevent property damage. Services include nest removal during permitted periods and installation of exclusion systems to protect rooftops and commercial premises from future infestations.
Pigeon Control
We implement comprehensive pigeon control strategies combining falconry, proofing systems, and trapping. Our technicians install discreet stainless steel spikes and netting to prevent roosting while removing existing nests. Commercial clients benefit from scheduled maintenance programs to ensure ongoing protection against health hazards from bird droppings.
Bird Proofing
Our bird proofing solutions protect buildings using multiple deterrent technologies. We install solar panel guards, anti-perching systems, and visual/audio deterrents tailored to each property. Drone surveys identify hard-to-reach problem areas, while our IPAF-certified technicians implement permanent exclusion measures without damaging existing structures.
Nest Removal
We conduct professional nest removal services following wildlife protection regulations. Our team safely eliminates nests from chimneys, roof spaces, and commercial buildings using appropriate PPE and access equipment. The process includes sanitisation of contaminated areas and installation of preventive measures to avoid re-infestation.
Drone Surveys
Our CAA-licensed drone operators perform detailed aerial surveys to identify bird-related issues. This technology enables safe inspection of high-risk areas without scaffolding, providing real-time visual data for accurate problem assessment. Surveys inform tailored control strategies while minimising health and safety risks during inspections.
