Bird Netting
Bird netting is an excellent deterrent, preventing nuisance species such as pigeons and gulls from accessing your site and nesting. By preventing nesting, you reduce bird guano and the associated health risks.
Using polyethylene knotted bird netting, it can withstand a lot of weather conditions, especially in harsh urban environments. It is also available in a variety of colour options, making it difficult to see from a distance and providing an effective but virtually invisible solution.
Bird netting can be used in the following areas:
-
Roofs
-
Car Parks
-
Canopies and Balconies
-
Stadiums
-
Listed Buildings
-
Office Buildings
-
Worksites
Bird Wire
Bird wire is a barely visible bird deterrent, with steel springs and wires fixed between pillars on outside surfaces. This cost-effective solution is a humane bird deterrent and is popular with architects and construction workers alike because it is so discreet.
This is beneficial for new buildings where birds haven’t yet started to roost and nest, as it deters them from settling. This is also useful for glass-fronted buildings as the solution is very discreet.
The discreet nature of bird wire makes it perfect for:
-
Glass-Fronted Buildings
-
Windows
-
Beams and Pipes
-
Signs
-
Ledges
-
New Builds
Bird Spikes
Bird spiking is a versatile bird control method, offering an effective and humane way to deter birds in urban environments. The upward direction of the spikes or wires means that birds cannot land on perches, although the spikes do not hurt them.
We offer different designs to suit your bird needs, with stronger spikes to prevent pigeons from landing. Pigeon spikes can be fixed to virtually any surface to keep your property bird-free.
Bird spikes can be installed in the these areas:
-
Roof Lines
-
Ledges
-
Fences
-
Signs
-
Solar Panels
-
Air Conditioning Units
-
CCTV Cameras
