Bird Proofing Pest Control

Bird droppings are highly acidic, and over time can damage building stonework and paintwork. They also carry diseases, such as salmonella and psittacosis, which can be transmitted to humans through airborne particles or direct contact with the droppings. That’s why preventing them from occurring is so important. Xpress Pest Control offers a range of bird proofing services, including pigeon proofing, using several different methods to deter birds from resting and nesting on your property. Our customer service is here 24/7, ready for when you need help. We aim to get a controller to you between 30 and 90 minutes* of your call. Call us today.

How Crucial is Bird-Proofing for Buildings?

Bird proofing is essential to protect your building from damage, guard you from health hazards, avoid unsightliness and improve the overall look and feel of the property. Bird droppings are highly corrosive and hazardous. In the wet, droppings can create a slip hazard too. Nesting can also cause serious damage to buildings. Other issues include noise problems, dislodged tiles and chimney problems. To avoid costly repairs and preserve your building's integrity, investing in bird-proofing is a necessary preventative measure to take. Simply call us for an instant, competitive quote.

Preventing Bird Mess

Cleaning up bird droppings is a health hazard best handled by our professionals. As well as the risk of disease, their nests can also attract pests like fleas and ticks. Prevention is the best course of action. And we use a range of bird proofing methods, each relevant to your specific situation.

  • Spikes deter birds from landing on ledges and other surfaces
  • Netting works as a physical barrier, preventing birds from rooftops, gardens and balconies
  • We can also employ wires to prevent birds from landing, perching and nesting and sonic or ultrasonic devices that emit frequencies that are uncomfortable for birds to hear
  • A common solution is fire gel pads. These create the appearance of a fire, encouraging birds to avoid the area.

The Xpress bird controllers are available 24/7 and can give you a basic and competitive quote straight away. Homes and businesses up and down the country trust us for effective and long-lasting bird control measures.
