Bird Control Services Across Belfast, Lisburn & Northern Ireland

Feral pigeons, seagulls and other urban bird species are notorious pest birds that can cause disruption and even a safety issue for commercial sites and residential properties. They are known for causing a massive disturbance to town centres, supermarkets and seaside towns as they hunt for food. However, as their population grows and nesting habits change, this invasive behaviour is creating problems for many homes and businesses across Northern Ireland.

Bird pests cause substantial property damage, spread diseases and create a lot of distress to property owners. In Northern Ireland, you can only carry out bird control between September and March, outside of breeding season. To help you avoid pigeon problems and issues with pest birds, we can fit bird deterrents that limit their ability to access your space. We provide these high-quality, professional bird-proofing services to all properties across Belfast, Lisburn, Antrim, Newtownards, Bangor, Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey, and even further afield, travelling throughout Northern Ireland to reduce the damage caused by nuisance birds.

Call our avian experts today at 07955 008274 to get your free quote and find the right solution to combat your bird problem.

Our Bird Control & Bird Proofing Process

Request A Visit

If you’ve identified birds nesting at your home or business, please contact us to arrange your free site survey. You can call us, email us, complete an online booking form or message us using WhatsApp.

Property Survey

Following your message, we will organise a site inspection to survey the property and identify the bird species, the extent of the problem and required control solutions. Then, we will devise a bespoke treatment plan that delivers results.

Installation

Once you have approved the bird deterrents and products we’ve suggested, we will implement our reliable and long-lasting bird-proofing plan, which may include bird netting, bird mesh, bird spikes or optical deterrents, depending on your property type.

Sanitisation

Finally, we’ll remove all bird droppings and nesting material from your home or business. We also decontaminate the area as birds carry dangerous diseases in their guano and nests.

Signs Of A Bird Problem

Seeing one or two pigeons on your garden fence or perched on your roof isn’t cause for concern. However, a bird problem can develop quickly, so looking out for the early signs of an infestation can minimise property damage and health risks. 

Here are some of the most common signs to look out for that signify a major bird control issue:

Bird Droppings

An abundance of bird droppings, also known as guano, is an obvious sign that birds are nesting on your land. As birds commonly perch on roof areas, lamp posts, balconies and window ledges, their unsightly droppings fall on the ground below. Bird droppings contain dangerous pathogens and diseases and affect the aesthetic appeal of your property, so efficient removal is essential. 

Bird Nests 

Birds will commonly create nests from leaves, sticks, twigs, rubbish and grass, and you may find remnants of these materials around your land. In a bird’s search for a safe nesting spot, they can settle for air vents, gutters, chimneys, and ventilation units. Unfortunately, this is a health hazard that could lead to blocked drains, potential fire risk or facilitate disease spread through AC extractors.

Bird Activity 

Observing large numbers of birds congregating around your property, such as on your roof, garden fences or chimneys, strongly indicates a problem. Pigeons are homing birds, meaning they will always return home. Therefore, if they consider your property home, it can be challenging to get rid of them yourself without professional intervention. 

Aggressive Behaviour 

In particular, seagulls are very protective of their young and are known to dive-bomb people who get too close to their nests. Although seagulls are synonymous with coastlines, more and more have moved inland due to increased food waste and safer nesting spots. So, if you see gulls perched on a rooftop or chimney, hear aggressive squawking or experience dive-bombing, this is a sign that seagulls are protecting their nests and young.

Bird Proofing Solutions 

Bird control measures are a strategic way to deter birds from roosting or nesting on your property or preventing them from reaching a specific area. Our humane bird control management treatments are ethical and highly effective.

Some of our most popular bird control methods include: 

Bird Netting

Bird-netting is manufactured from a tightly interwoven, durable, adaptable and discreet material, designed to act as a physical barrier. The netting size can be customised based on the bird pest, promoting optimal effectiveness for your required application. This is a fantastic solution for larger surface areas, such as commercial car parks and shopping centres, and is a cost-effective bird-proofing option. 

Bird Spikes

Although bird spikes sound and look scary, they do not cause the bird any harm or suffering. They are manufactured using plastic strips along a stainless steel base, and the spikes simply create an uncomfortable landing for the bird. Pigeon spikes are most effective along roof lines, garden fences, business signs and billboards with narrow surface areas.

Bird Free Gel

Optical gel deterrents interfere with a bird’s olfactory senses; sight, smell and touch. It leads them to believe that there is fire below; it also contains the scent of peppermint oil and is sticky if they touch it. As a result, it is a highly successful and discreet method of control for light-trafficked areas such as balconies, roof lines and window sills.

Post & Wire

Bird-wire is an effective bird control solution that utilises a spring-tension post and wire system, creating an unstable landing for the bird. As birds arrive, they cannot get a firm footing, ultimately flying away to perch elsewhere. This low-profile, non-intrusive design can be applied to listed buildings and is an excellent solution for exposed ledges, beams and parapets.

All our bird control methods are tried and tested, come with a guarantee and deliver results. However, some solutions are optimised for specific applications, considering things like property size, the affected area and the bird species. For that reason, booking a pest control survey with an expert technician trained in bird control is recommended. Our operatives will investigate the property to identify the most aligned treatments and devise a strategic plan. In some cases, we may employ other bird-proofing methods or a combination of solutions to deliver results with 100% success. Contact us today to book your survey.

Commercial Bird Control Services

Birds in your commercial premises can have a detrimental effect on your business operations and health and safety. If birds nest outside your property, then guano build-up can be a serious issue that will impact your aesthetic appeal and business reputation. It can also lead to slipping hazards and disease risks that could shut down your business. 

Our avian specialists have worked with numerous clients in Northern Ireland, including shopping centres, supermarkets, retail stores, housing associations and churches, to deliver successful bird control that is discreet and durable. From retail outlets to banks, industrial settings to airports and other transport hubs, we have the solutions to ensure your bird problem is solved quickly and discreetly.
