Bird Control service:
Humane control of nuisance birds and bird droppings

For property owners, bird control can be a significant problem. Feral birds (particularly pigeons, seagulls and starlings) can be a real nuisance.

Without effective bird control, birds can cause a variety of problems, including:

• Damage to buildings
  (including blockage of rainwater systems)
• Property defacement
  (especially architectural features)
• Health hazards
  (from bird diseases such as ornithosis, cryptococcosis)
• Accident hazards
  (people could slip on droppings or guano)
• Personal safety hazards
  (such as attacks by territorial seagulls)
• Increased Maintenance Costs
• Loss of goodwill

A humane approach to controlling nuisance birds

Most people appreciate that birds are an important part of our eco-system (some species, such as sparrows, are even under threat) and whilst property owners want to resolve the nuisance problem and get rid of bird pests, they don't want to see any harm come to the birds.

Therefore Peter Cox has developed the No Perch™ Bird Control Service, a humane approach to getting rid of the problem of bird pests. All of our systems comply fully with the requirements of the RSPB, RSPCA, DEFRA, and the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act

The No Perch Bird Control Service

Our systems for preventing the problems arising from nuisance birds include:

• Bird deterrents
  We have developed a series of effective yet unobtrusive bird deterrents, which will deter problem birds from perching or nesting but which are not harmful to birds.
• Netting to deny access
  We will install UV-resistant polyethylene net in a choice of colours. Nets deny nuisance birds access to areas such as light wells, porticos, roofs, and other roosting points
• Sprung-wire installations to deter perching
  We will install stainless steel posts and spring-tensioned wire in one or more rows prevent birds from landing on sills, cornices and ledges.
• Pin systems to deter perching
  We will install stainless steel rods in single- or multiple-spine configurations mounted on polycarbonate bases. These will deter nuisance birds form perching, and are flexible to use even on light fittings and signs.

The clearing and control of bird droppings from buildings should not be attempted without the appropriate training and specialist safety equipment. Peter Cox’s experienced technicians have all the correct health & safety measures in place, including personal protective equipment, and can use both biocidal and insecticidal treatments.

 We will undertake a full clearance of bird droppings—however severe the problem—as well as installing humane control measures to prevent further droppings by deterring the presence of nuisance birds.
