## Humane Bird Proofing Tailored To Your Site

Birds can cause significant health risks and property damage, particularly to commercial sites. Alongside physical damage, birds can also disrupt operation and cause reputational problems. That’s why Copley Pest Solutions offers expert bird proofing across Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Leeds, Ilkley, West Yorkshire and other regions of the UK, including Sheffield, Blackpool, Manchester, York and beyond.

Our solutions stop birds from landing and nesting on your site, and can include bird netting, bird spikes and other deterrents to keep pigeons, seagulls, crows, magpies, sparrows and other bird species away. As part of our extensive bird control service, we can also provide bird dropping removal, and domestic solar panel bird proofing to stop birds nesting underneath solar installations

## Our Bird Proofing Process

Throughout the process, Copley Pest Solutions will work closely with you to bird proof your site and ensure effective protection from nuisance birds.

When you get in touch, our team will discuss your bird problem and will carry out a site survey to identify bird proofing opportunities.

Once we’ve seen the site, we can recommend a selection of bird proofing methods, such as bird netting, bird spikes and others, which will reduce the chances of pest birds being able to land on your property.

When you’re happy with the plan, our team will arrange a time convenient to you so we can carry out the installation. This may include using scaffolding or cherry pickers to reach high areas and fit high-quality bird proofing solutions that will provide lasting protection.

## Get A Bespoke Bird Proofing Strategy

All wild birds in the UK are protected by the Wildlife And Countryside Act 1981. This prohibits harming or damaging the nests of wild birds without a license. As such, once birds have built nests on your site, it can be difficult to get rid of them until breeding season is over and the young have flown the nest.

That’s why bird proofing is essential. Many commercial sites, such as loading bays, airports or golf courses could find their work interrupted and the site shut down if a bird nest is found. Being proactive and bird proofing your site before you encounter a bird control problem can reduce downtime and ensure the safety of your site, so book a site visit today to start creating a bespoke bird proofing plan with Copley.

What Bird Proofing Options Are Available?

## Bird Proofing Methods

There are several ways to bird proof a site, and each can protect against different bird species or work better for specific structures. Some of the bird proofing methods we use are listed below.

### Bird Netting

Bird netting creates a physical barrier between nuisance birds and specific areas of your site, ensuring they can’t gain access.

### Bird Mesh

Similar to bird netting but with smaller gaps, bird mesh is often used for pigeon proofing solar panels and protecting other tight spaces from bird ingress.

### Bird Spikes

Anti-bird spikes are ideal for narrow ledges and windowsills, as they create an unstable surface that birds can’t use for perching.

### Post And Wire

Post and wire bird deterrents involve an almost invisible tensioned wire attached to posts along ledges that helps deter birds and makes the surface unsuitable for landing.

### Bird Free Gel

Sometimes known as fire gel, bird free gel makes a surface appear to be on fire for birds, meaning they will leave and won’t return.

### Electric Bird Scarers

Bird laser deterrents, BirdAlert and other electric deterrents can be an effective way to deter birds from last open sites such as farms or sports fields.

FAQ

## Bird Proofing FAQs

### What Is Bird Proofing?

Bird proofing is the process of preventing birds from landing, roosting, perching or nesting on your site. Using physical barriers, such as stainless steel bird spikes and bird netting, we can stop birds gaining entry to your space. We can also use solutions such as post and wire bird deterrents and electric solutions to safely and naturally deter birds without causing harm.

### How Much Does Bird Proofing Cost?

The cost of bird proofing depends on the size of your site and the type of bird proofing solutions needed to provide effective protection from pest birds. Copley Pest Solutions provides cost-effective quotes that will provide long-term savings by limited the chances of property damage and reputation issues which could reduce incomes for commercial organisations. For homeowners, our solar panel bird proofing service can reduce physical damage from birds and health risks caused by a build-up of bird droppings. Also, nesting materials can be a fire hazard, especially if birds peck at wiring under your solar panels, so it pays to invest in bird proofing. Get in touch for a quote today.

### What Bird Species Can Bird Proofing Deal With?

Copley Pest Solutions can design a bespoke bird proofing strategy that can protect your site from any bird species, including feral pigeons, seagulls, crows, jackdaws, sparrows, starlings and other smaller birds. Bird netting and bird spikes need to be tailored to different sized birds, so we’ll create a bespoke approach that benefits your site and meets its specific requirements.

### What Is The Best Bird Proofing Solution?

There are many bird proofing measures available, and the best ones depend on the size of your site, the pest bird species you’re dealing with and your specific needs. Our team can help you choose the right solution and use only high-quality materials to ensure lasting protection from nuisance birds and the different challenges you face.

### Why Is Professional Bird Proofing Better Than DIY Methods?

While you could install some bird proofing products yourself, your methods could be ineffective if you don’t have a strong understanding of bird behaviour. Also, if you don’t have adequate safety equipment and the skill to work safely at height, you may find yourself hurting yourself or causing damage to your property. For homeowners with solar panels, poor-quality solar panel bird proofing can void your warranty and reduce efficiency. As such, it is often safer and more cost-effective in the long-run to get professional bird proofing from Copley Pest Solutions.
