Understanding the Problem
What You Need to Know About Bird & Pigeon Control
Feral pigeons and starlings are the most common bird pest problems across South Wales commercial and residential properties. A single pigeon produces up to 12kg of droppings per year. Bird fouling is acidic, causing accelerating damage to stonework, metalwork, roof membranes and painted surfaces. In commercial settings, bird fouling on customer walkways, building entrances and food preparation areas creates significant liability and reputational risk.
Birds are creatures of habit and will return to the same roosting and nesting sites season after season. Deterrent measures that don't physically exclude birds are rarely effective long-term. Professional installation of the correct proofing system for the specific species and building configuration is the only reliable long-term solution.
Identification
Signs of a Bird & Pigeon Control Problem
- Accumulation of droppings on ledges, vehicles, walkways or building entrances
- Nesting material in gutters, roof spaces or ventilation openings
- Persistent noise from roosting birds, particularly early morning
- Blocked gutters and drainage from nesting debris
- Damage to roof membranes, insulation or structural timbers

Why Act Now
The Risks of Leaving It Untreated
- Property DamageBird droppings are highly acidic, they accelerate corrosion of metalwork, degrade stonework and stain surfaces permanently.
- Health HazardsBird fouling harbours Ornithosis, Histoplasmosis, Salmonella and Cryptococcosis, diseases transmissible to humans.
- Slip & Fall LiabilityBird droppings on walkways, fire escapes and car parks create significant slip hazards and public liability exposure.
- Regulatory RiskIn food businesses and healthcare settings, bird activity near the premises can trigger EHO action.
How We Treat It
Our Bird & Pigeon Control Treatment Process
A clear, step-by-step approach from initial survey to complete resolution, with no surprises and no hidden charges.
Survey & Species Assessment
We identify the bird species, roosting behaviour, nesting sites and the most vulnerable areas of the structure.
Deterrent System Specification
We recommend the most appropriate system, netting, spike systems, tension wires or post-and-wire, based on the species and building type.
Clearance & Disinfection
Existing droppings and nesting material are removed and the area is professionally disinfected before proofing installation.
Professional Installation
Proofing systems are installed by trained operatives using stainless steel and UV-stabilised materials designed for outdoor longevity.
Monitoring & Maintenance
Optional scheduled inspection and maintenance visits to ensure continued effectiveness.
Professional Treatment
Effective Bird Control Requires the Right System, Correctly Installed
Retail bird spikes and visual deterrents provide minimal long-term benefit if birds are determined roosters. The wrong product for the species, poorly installed, simply becomes part of the environment that birds adapt around.
Professional bird control starts with understanding bird behaviour and matching the exclusion system precisely to the species, building configuration and intensity of use. Our technicians are trained in both the practical installation of proofing systems and the wildlife legislation governing bird management in the UK.
- Species-specific system selection
- Compliant with Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981
- Stainless steel and UV-stable materials
- Disinfection prior to installation
- Long-term guarantee on all installed systems
Prevention First
How to Prevent Bird & Pigeon Control
Professional treatment resolves the problem. Prevention stops it coming back. Our technicians will always advise on the specific steps most relevant to your property.
Act before nesting season
Bird nesting is protected by law once underway. Spring surveys and early proofing installation prevent legal complications.
Manage food sources
Remove accessible waste and bird feeders near the building. Food availability is the primary attractant for feral birds.
Maintain gutters and drainage
Blocked gutters from nesting debris cause water damage. Regular clearance reduces this risk.
Include bird proofing in renovation projects
Refurbishment and scaffolding work provides the ideal opportunity to install proofing at minimal additional cost.
