Why is Bird Control Important?

Bird droppings cause acidic and structural damage to soffits, fascia’s and monument structures. Droppings along with bird’s nesting materials can block the roof drainage system on a building causing high risk of flooding. With the potential for water to enter your premises causing significant levels of damage. Safety is our number one priority at The Bristol Pest Controller, on all of our work undertaken. As a company we understand the importance of undertaking the quick and frequent removal of bird droppings and Pigeon guano. This work is key, particularly for commercial premises in terms of effective risk assessment, and for management to prevent slips, trips and falls, not only of your employees, but also of the general public. Attending to bird droppings and guano is essential. It protects members of the public walking in front of your shop or window ledges. We can provide a guano removal service for the City of Bristol.

Furthermore, bird species can carry various different types of diseases that people can catch; these include Ornithosis which causes severe respiratory problems.

What Bird Pests Bring With Them…

It is not only the problem of guano, but birds also carry secondary pests. In their nesting material and droppings you can find bird mites, red mites and fleas. Secondary pests often include blood sucking parasites which have the potential to contaminate food and goods which obviously causes high levels of risk if a bird infestation is left unchallenged. The challenge with these parasites is that they are microscopic in size which makes it difficult to identify their presence. All of our qualified technicians will effectively identify any secondary bird pests as part of any bird control service.

Bird Removal and Control Solutions for Bristol and the Surrounding Areas, How We Do It:

Here at The Bristol Pest Controller, we pride ourselves in carrying out good practice when undertaking all bird control activities. The first stage in the process is to carry out a thorough survey. This is to identify the species and assess the extent of the infestation before commencing or planning any work. The survey includes gathering information about the bird species and to identify where the birds are currently nesting. We’ll report to you any physical damage or financial loss that has been experienced, and whether or not there are any anon-target species also present.

We would determine if the area is a nesting, feeding or roosting site. If the birds have entered the building, we would identify the entry holes and undertaken works to get them blocked. Some birds only return to their roosts at night, if a food source is not available. To make sure the problem is identified and responded to quickly, The Bristol Pest Controller will carry out evening inspections if required. Meaning there is limited disruption to your home life or business.

Why Should I call the Bristol Pest Controller?

Our qualified technicians hold extensive knowledge that allows them to identify if the bird is a pest, protected or endangered. When dealing with infestations, The Bristol Pest Controller prioritises the humane dispatch of all birds. This is in line with our caring company ethos when working with animals, but also in accordance with legislative requirements.

I Live in Bristol, What Bird Proofing Steps Can I Take?

‘Bird proofing’ is the terminology widely used in the bird control industry throughout the British Isles. At The Bristol Pest Controller we have extensive experience in bird-proofing, having developed our skills over the last 20 years. Our knowledge is highly specialised in terms of prevention and proofing against bird pests. All of which is supported by our industry-specific tools and equipment. We are a proud pest control company, based in Bristol.

Even Isambard Brunel himself would be impressed with our bird-proofing engineering skills! Using the right system for the correct species is highly important. The species and the context of the situation can vary enormously – the professional judgement involved to make the right decision. This is exactly what our technicians are trained to do during the initial survey. Our products and services vary, but include the installation of barriers, bird point, spikes, bird netting and bird gel. Bird gel has the appearance of fire to birds, acting as a natural deterrent. It is a completely non-toxic product which is consistent with our kind and humane working ethos.

Bird Point Prevention Systems in Bristol.

The Bristol Pest Controller is happy to carry out large projects as well as smaller ones involving difficult to access ledges. We have specialist multi-storey cherry picker access lifts. Our bird point systems are harmless to and will confidently move them on from their roosting and resting sites. Although alternative methods will be used where nesting is current. Made from plastic coated stainless steel, this runs between two fixed posts anchored to the ledge using either high-tack adhesive or raw plugs. It uses springs to pull the tension. The benefits to using this product is that it is relatively inexpensive, quick to install, and does not rust. The only thing to be aware of is that they can sometimes be moved out of place by birds and general maintenance.

Bird Spike Prevention and Installation for Bristol

If you are looking to stop birds from perching on narrow ledges, horizontal surfaces, signs and window ledges, which do not require a large coverage then bird spikes can be very effective. These prevent sea gulls and pigeons from damaging your premises. The disadvantages of bird spikes is that they can be expensive for installation in large areas. That said, they are easy and quick to install, you can stick them to surfaces with high-tack adhesive. This wouldn’t normally be able to drill into. The spikes are harmless to the birds, so a safe and humane product. The result tends to move birds on so they do their business elsewhere!

Who can Clean and Remove Bird Droppings in Bristol for me?

The Bristol Pest Controller is excellent and skilled at removing bird mess! There is a requirement for careful COSHH assessments to be carried out before undertaking this kind of work. This is because certain bird-related illnesses operatives can be potentially exposed to. These include: Salmonella, Psittacosis, Fowl pest, E.coli, Fungal infections and Bird mites.  Before any work starts, our technicians dampen the area down from any dust with a specialist disinfectant. Our technicians are all required to wear protective clothing use protective equipment. Using face-fitted respirators to protect themselves from any hazardous bird waste. We do not recommend that you do this work yourselves for health and safety reasons. Our company also adheres to appropriate regulations in terms of the disposal of bird droppings and pigeon guano. This requires a ‘waste transfer note’ when transporting it from the location to an approved waste disposal site.
