Help! How do I get rid of birds in my facility?
This is a question that many business owners or managers come to us with, especially in spring, which is a known season for birds when it comes to nesting, mating, gathering food sources, and laying eggs.
Although birds may seem cute and innocent, they pose significant challenges in industrial and commercial environments. Whether pigeons, seagulls, or smaller species, birds gather in large groups, causing sanitation issues, structural damage, and even health risks.
We offer professional bird deterrent services to help businesses maintain clean, safe, and operational workspaces. Our solutions ensure that birds are kept at bay while being treated humanely. If you have a bird infestation issue, we can get rid of them for you – the right way!
Why is bird control important?
Bird control is important for various reasons, particularly in commercial and industrial settings. Birds can carry diseases, contaminate products, and clog drainage systems with their nests and droppings.
Not only does this create unsightly messes, but it also introduces serious health risks, potentially violating health and safety standards. For businesses that handle food production or storage, the presence of birds can lead to contamination, jeopardising the integrity of products.
Another significant issue is structural damage. Birds can damage roofing materials, ledges, and air conditioning units while building nests. If left unchecked, these damages can lead to expensive repairs and, in some cases, operational downtime. Investing in a comprehensive bird deterrent system can avoid these costly outcomes while keeping your property in top condition.
The Rapid approach: How do I get rid of birds?
We like to take a multi-faceted approach to bird control that ensures long-lasting results. Our bird deterrent systems are carefully designed to meet the needs of each facility, regardless of the industry or building type. Here’s how we effectively keep birds out without harming them:
Bird netting
Bird netting is a versatile and effective solution used to prevent birds from entering large open spaces, including warehouses, loading bays, and even outdoor areas like courtyards. Netting creates a physical barrier that birds cannot penetrate, keeping them away from key areas of your facility.
All of the netting’s fittings and fixtures are made with stainless steel for longevity. The stainless steel will not rust or degrade. It’s an ideal long-term solution that requires minimal maintenance and doesn’t harm the birds.
Bird spikes
Bird spikes are particularly effective in keeping larger birds, such as pigeons and seagulls, from roosting on ledges, beams, and rooftops. Made from durable materials, bird spikes can be installed in various locations around your building to deter birds from landing without causing them harm. This method is ideal for high-traffic bird areas and provides a reliable deterrent.
Hot foot gel
The hot foot gel method acts as a temporary deterrent for interior or enclosed areas that are not affected by the weather. The gel is not harmful to birds but prevents them from landing on your building.
Custom bird-proofing solutions for every business
No two facilities are the same, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always work. That’s why we offer customised bird-proofing and deterrent services tailored to your building’s specific needs. Whether installing bird netting in high ceilings or setting up bird spikes along rooflines, our team works with you to implement the most effective solutions possible.
Benefits of professional bird deterrent services
While DIY bird control methods might seem like a cost-effective solution, they often fail to deliver long-lasting results. Hiring a professional service like us offers multiple benefits, ensuring that your facility stays bird-free for the long term.
Health and safety
Professional bird control helps you maintain high health and safety standards. Birds carry diseases, and their droppings can harbour pathogens such as salmonella, which can become a hazard to both employees and visitors. Effective bird-proofing eliminates the risk of contamination and helps keep your business compliant with safety regulations.
Preventing structural damage
Bird nests, droppings, and roosting behaviours can cause significant damage to your building over time. From blocked gutters to damaged air conditioning units, birds’ impact can lead to expensive repairs and maintenance. Investing in bird-proofing solutions prevents long-term structural issues, saving money in the process.
Aesthetic appeal
A facility plagued by bird droppings and nests can quickly lose its visual appeal. Keeping the building clean and bird-free is essential for businesses that rely on their physical space to make a good first impression, such as retail outlets or customer-facing offices. Professional bird deterrent services ensure your building remains visually appealing to clients and customers.
Long-term protection
DIY methods like scare tactics or cheap bird deterrent devices rarely offer lasting results. Our professional bird deterrent systems provide robust, long-term protection that ensures that birds are kept away for good.
