Bird Proofing
Discreet Netting and Spiking Protection Systems
Understanding the Problem
Feral pigeons and seagulls roosting on ledges, roofs, and window sills cause heavy fouling, slip hazards, and structural damage. Waterside Pest Solutions installs Defender bird spikes which are a humane devices that physically stops birds from accessing certain areas of buildings, both domestic and commercial. At first glance, bird spikes look very similar as the best design consists of a flat base from which tall pins or spikes protrude and fan out at different angles. These are fixed onto surfaces and ledges around the outside of buildings to stop birds from landing and causing a nuisance without compromising building aesthetics.
Pigeon and gull droppings contain acidic compounds that corrode stonework, paintwork, and metals over time. Furthermore, nesting birds carry bird mites and create secondary pest infestations in attics and wall spaces.
- Heavy guano accumulation on sills, fire escapes, walkways, and signboards
- Birds perching along parapets, window ledges, and chimney stacks
- Blocked rainwater downpipes causing internal dampness and localized flooding
