Bird Proofing and Repellants
Ian Smith Pest Control has been supplying and installing bird proofing and all manner of repellants for many years.
These jobs range from keeping sparrows out of domestic lofts to larger scale projects on city centre buildings and other public areas.
We have at our disposal all the traditional means of keeping birds away from sensitive areas such as netting and pigeon/bird proofing spikes. But, unlike many pest control companies, we have the experience to use and fit them correctly.
Bird proofing on a large commercial building.
This may seem like a simple and quite obvious thing to say but if you take the time to observe a lot of bird proofing jobs around our town centres, you will see a great number of areas with spikes and netting but where the pigeons or other birds seem to be carrying on as normal. I have even seen pigeons nesting among badly fitted pigeon spikes!
During the spring we are often contacted with regards to birds nesting in undesirable areas. We have both the experience and knowledge to advise on bird proofing matters, taking into account all up to date and relevant legislation on bird protection.
All bird species are protected. However, as pest controllers, we are granted powers under licence to deal with bird infestations in certain circumstances.
As the relevant laws and the terms of the licence are constantly changing, it is important that any work that takes place is done correctly. This ensures that both the pest control company concerned and the property or land owner are protected.

Over recent years, another tool has been added to the pest controllers armory when dealing with bird problems. This is the introduction of ‘bird free optical gel’.
This product, which sounds like a wild idea at first, is one of the most useful inventions introduced to the pest control market in recent years. It is simply a gel substance that is laid in small trays and fixed to problem areas.
This gel gives off a UV glow, even in low light conditions. This appears to the birds (mainly pigeons and gulls) as fire, so they are instantly repelled from the area.
