Birds

There are a number of methods employed in the control of a bird problem for either residential customers, with bird problems around their home, through to commercial and industrial customers. These methods can range from passive deterrents, through to more active systems where a large, or increased, bird population is providing a risk to human safety.

Bird Proofing

When a bird presence is found inside a factory or warehouse, for example, the initial recommendation by us would be to make sure your premises are properly proofed. Birds will enter through any open areas that may be under eaves or through doors and windows and blocking any such entry points is crucial in isolating the bird problem.

Netting

Purpose built netting can be installed to exclude birds from entering your premises. Large open loading bays and warehouses for example may provide many opportunities for bird entry and netting specifically designed for that location to stop a particular bird may be essential. The netting is made from a UV stabilised material and is a good long term solution.

Spiking

This method is used to stop birds landing on a ledge, top of a building etc. They are essentially stainless steel spikes supported in a plastic base. The spikes are positioned at a range of angles making it impossible for birds to land on that spot. Spiking also, is a good long term solution for bird control. It is now used in places like airports, CBD buildings and large sign installations that require an effective long term, low maintenance bird control solution.

Bird Post & Wire System

Similar in function to the bird spiking system in that it effectively prevents birds landing on a particular location such as the ledge of a building. The system incorporates stainless steel posts with sprung loaded stainless steel wires between them. The ‘springy’ effect of the wires makes it extremely uncomfortable for a bird to land. This method of bird control is perhaps more aesthetically pleasing than the spiking system and suits building ledges that may be at a low level or require a method that is visually less obtrusive than the spiked system.
