Pigeon or Seagull Infestation Signs

What should you look out for that might be a sign of a bird infestation? What should set alarm bells ringing?

  • Birds settling on roofs or ledges.
  • Continuous bird noises - cries, especially from young chicks.
  • Nesting materials strewn about your premises.
  • Damaged stock, from pecking and bird fouling.
  • Droppings concentrated in areas where birds roost.
  • Debris from nests and feathers, which may block guttering and drainage systems, potentially leading to damp damage.

 

Signs of a Bird Infestation

Birds are a nonsense pest to your home or business premises, depending on the location it  could be the ideal habitat for birds. Pigeons and gulls have learnt how to survive in most environments, scavenging our waste food and needing only the smallest amount of shelter to make their nests. Recognising the signs of bird problems with immediate action will reduce the time needed to effectively control your bird infestation.

Here are just some of the ways they’ve adapted to make use of the urban environment:

  • Pigeons and urban gulls use seemingly inhospitable areas of tall buildings and flat roofs to nest.
  • Balconies, ledges, chimney stacks, guttering and culverts are favourite areas for these birds.
  • Gulls in particular like to flock together on flat roofs.
  • Any gap larger than 25mm that allows access to your building is a potential entry point for pigeons.
  • Pigeons prefer roof spaces to roost in and can shift loose or damaged tiles to get in.

FACT: Pigeons are gregarious creatures living in flocks of anywhere between 50 and 500, so a small problem has the potential to turn into a much larger one.
