March 12th, 2013

February 28th, 2013

There is nothing more glorious than witnessing a bird in full flight. The way it soars, dips and weaves seamlessly through the air can’t help but catch your eye and your imagination.

Why is Bird Proofing Important?

December 12th, 2012

There is a time and place where you can really appreciate the flight of a bird. In their wild and natural habitat, there is nothing more divine than watching a bird glide fluently threw the air or gazing at a group of birds as they go about their routine.

But in and around the workplace, birds can become aggravating and unwanted guests. As they perch and nest on your building or property, they can begin to frustrate your employees, distract and disrupt productivity as well as increase the number of health and safety hazards.

Proven Techniques

Here at Total Bird Control, we are dedicated to dealing with the problem of pest control and bird proofing in Birmingham and the surrounding areas using the most effective and humane methods around. Operating domestically or commercially, our tried and tested techniques and procedures include the installation of bird spikes/ wire, bird netting as well as humane bird trapping.

Our methods have proven long-term and short term benefits, meaning that you can carry on with your day without the worry of pests. Our highly qualified and experienced technicians will be there to advise you on ways of improving the effectiveness of our installations, as well as how to look out for potential nesting/resting places within your surrounding environment.

But Why Would My Property Need Bird Proofing

The main problem when dealing with bird control is the hindrance and risk of contamination they cause. Many of us may have experienced the soul-destroying notion of being fouled on by an in-flight bird but if they choose to nest in your building, large amounts of harmful waste can build up. This can attract bacteria, cause external damage to the fabric of your building as well as make your building look unsightly.

By combating this contamination, you can eliminate the risk of infection as well as other health and safety risks that may arise.

So don’t run the risk of birds inhabiting the exterior and, in some cases, the interior of your residence by checking out our website for a full look at our range of bird proofing services, as well as other related pest control.

Can Bird Spikes Help Prevent Damage to Buildings?

September 4th, 2012
If you’ve ever spent much time in London where birds have become used to humans you will probably have noticed they can be quite a pest; bothering people while they eat as well as making areas unsightly with their droppings. At Total Bird Control we specialise in the implementation of bird proofing methods to rid your property of this problem, but apart from being a nuisance, can they actually damage the buildings they congregate on?

It will be obvious to you that bird fouling can prove incredibly unsightly to your property, a real problem regardless of whether it is a period building with historical or a commercial premises. There are also numerous health implications associated with bird excrement, with pigeons known to harbour 60 different diseases, the most common of which transmitted to humans being Chlamydophila psittati and Cryptococcus neoformans.
However, you may be surprised that bird excrement can also damage building surfaces irreversibly, with the potential to cause thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Bird excrement contains various acidic properties that when released, can scar the fabric of a building, and research has demonstrated that even after the bird droppings have been removed the corrosive effects can still continue. Buildings that are made from limestone or calciferous sandstone are most at risk from this sort of contamination.
At Total Bird Control there are various techniques we can use to avoid this problem. Bird netting is constructed from a nylon net fixed to a pre-tensioned wire rope frame, ensuring that birds cannot pass through while it is incredibly unpleasant for them to land on. Our netting solutions are most effective at stopping birds accessing recesses, alcoves and balconies.
Another method of proofing we employ is bird spikes, which are very effective in making surfaces difficult to perch on, such as ledges and window sills. We are conscious that bird spikes aren’t particularly attractive on the side of your building, which is why we strive to ensure the spikes we install are inconspicuous to reduce the aesthetic impact.
As well as bird netting and spikes we offer a variety of other services including seagull control and fouling removal and cleaning, so make Total Bird Control your first port-of-call for all of your bird proofing needs.

August 17th, 2012

We were asked by a large company in Redditch to carry out some work on site to create a decking and picnic area for staff.  We supplied and fitted a large part of the area with decking which was completed within 4 ½ days. 

This has now created a wonderful rest area overlooking the lake and fountain for staff that work within the factory.

Top 3 Humane Bird Control Methods

August 3rd, 2012

Bird really is the word when it comes to the service on offer at Total Bird Control, synonymous with peace and tranquillity our feathered friends appear in all sorts of forms of art, from paintings, literature to songs! However, for a business owner they can be more of a pest, as they damage your property and cause general nuisance. Whilst they may be in the way, you have to do all you can to ensure that the prevention methods you use are humane, yet effective, so read on to learn the top 3 methods that we use here.

Pigeon Netting

No, it’s not a net made from pigeon, it has this name as it is generally an effective method to preventing this particular type of bird. It will stop birds passing through, and if they do decide to land on it they won’t stay long as it doesn’t provide a comfortable surface; what’s more, it’s inconspicuous so you needn’t worry about aesthetics being affected!

Bird Spikes

Whilst these may sound pretty hard-core they are simply a few spikes that shoot off in various different directions which will obviously stop any birds from roosting. The downfall of this method is that they can be seen from ground level.

Posts & Wire

Exactly what it says on the tin, several wires strung between a number of steel posts! Because it is tensioned it won’t be easy to land on, and the inclusion of shock absorbing springs makes them resilient to damage.

Why Do I Need Bird Proofing?

The question you should really be asking yourself isn’t why do you need it; it’s what will happen if you don’t. Without proper prevention techniques in place you are at risk of infections, illnesses, infestation by insects associated with birds, damage to buildings and fouling and contamination!

So, don’t run the risk, click here to go straight through to our contact page and find out today the best bird control methods that we have.

Effective Prevention against Birds with Pigeon Netting

July 5th, 2012

We might all love pushing open the window on a hot day and hearing the calming sounds of bird song coming from outside, however at times birds can change from being your acapella group of feathered friends perched on your roof, to a pest which can create a whole range of problems. If the birds on your building are becoming an everyday annoyance, then the best solution is to enlist Total Bird Control and our range of bird control methods that will send them away and avoid all risks.

Discreet but Effective: Pigeon Netting

Especially in cities, pigeons and other birds can become a major problem – known as ‘rats of the sky’ they can often tend to perch on rooftops or guttering and congregate all around a building, creating a whole range of worries, including:

-    Health Risks and Serious Illness: Pigeons and gulls are nothing but pests and their droppings can give rise to diseases such as Ornithosis, Salmonella and E. Coli.

-    Birds might not be your only problem, as they can bring with them an infestation of biting insects, bird mites, fleas, ticks and more.

-    Damage to buildings and surrounding cars.

-    Accidents: Droppings can also create a slipping hazard on the pavement.

-    Various knock on Effects: If a bird problem is concerning a commercial property, other knock on effects could be damage to your company’s reputation and even fines if you are a restaurant or anywhere concerning food.

The list goes on and on, and with all of this in mind; you will want to find the most effective way to rid of these pests. Bird netting presents a highly effective method as it not only prevents birds from perching, but does so without being detrimental to the aesthetics of your property – hardly being visible when viewed from the ground while staying a formidable deterrent that birds cannot fly through or perch on.

If your premises requires another pest prevention method, or if you require some advice, don’t hesitate to contact us today.

Nylon Bird Netting to Prevent Unwanted Birds

June 12th, 2012

While we all love the environment and the natural wildlife it supports, sometimes our lifestyle attracts unwanted attention from pests and rodents that deface the appearance of a property with its faeces, and threatens the hygiene of the property itself. If you want to rid your property of birds that have taken a liking to your building, then we at Total Bird Control can help. We specialise in bird proofing properties and have a variety of different methods to do this; with bird netting Manchester being the most popular.

Birds are beautiful creatures when they are nestled in the countryside, but for a business property, birds are an unwanted feature of their property. They deface the appearance of the property and are an unwanted nuisance for workers on their lunch break – which is why it’s important you take steps now before the problem progressively gets worse.

Bird netting is very effective; its inconspicuous design means that it can be fitted to the property’s infrastructure without taking anything away from the beauty of the property’s architectural design. The netting fits to the property’s roofing Manchester and because of the taught design (in that is it pre-tensioned) the net itself prevents all types of birds from getting through and perching on the roof of your property.

Furthermore, because of the nylon material used in the construction of the bird netting, the birds do not like to land or perch on the netting itself.

If you are looking to take steps to prevent birds from landing on your property’s recesses, alcoves and balconies then bird netting is the most effective solution to your problem. If you would still like to learn more about the benefits of bird netting, be sure to get in touch with us at your earliest convenience by calling us directly on 01614 527 166.
