Humane Bird Netting For Your Buildings

Thursday, 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. But, whilst birds are appreciated in their natural habitat, when they begin to occupy more urban terrain, they can quickly become a nuisance.

Here at Total Bird Control, we understand the unsightly and unsavoury pain that birds taking refuge in and around your buildings can be. Over the years, we have fine-tuned and perfected our bird proofing and bird control techniques to ensure that you receive only the most effective and efficient service.

One of our stand-out products is our bird netting which provides the perfect obstacle for birds when it comes to protecting your buildings.

The unsightly and unhygienic presence of our feathered friends can be detrimental, not only to the interior and exterior structure of your buildings, but also in creating a physically unwelcoming environment. From nesting and fouling, to physical damage and insect infestations, your property can quickly become a serious health risk.

Sophisticated Bird Netting

Our bird netting compromises of secure nylon netting that is affixed to a strong, stainless steel wire rope frame. Once tensioned and in place, the netting provides a physical obstacle preventing birds from landing, perching and nesting on your buildings. These nets are affixed to the ground through a series of stainless steel clamps and masonry bolt systems, ensuring the guaranteed long life of your bird netting.

Our proven bird and pigeon netting techniques are extremely effective in protecting recesses, alcoves and balconies that are often difficult to protect using other procedures. Discreet and out of view, our bird netting is the best way to humanly protect your buildings.

Why is Bird Proofing Important?

Wednesday, 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.

Decking and Picnic Area Created in Redditch

Friday, 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

Friday, 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

Thursday, 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.

Bird Proofing for Commercial Buildings in Solihull

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

When you are in charge of keeping a commercial property in sound condition, there are many aspects you will need to consider, from implementing security systems through to ensuring the aesthetic appeal of the building. Bird proofing Solihull is certainly a necessary measure for many reasons and here at Total Bird Control, we are on hand to discuss the many methods of keeping birds away whilst explaining why it is imperative such measures are undertaken.

A commercial property can often suffer from the damage that birds can cause, especially when constructed in built-up locations such as town and city centres. Not only can their droppings be corrosive to the property’s exterior, birds are also known to spread a host of diseases. It is because of this that bird proofing is so important; continue on as we explore the different kinds of bird proofing available.

To stop birds roosting at your commercial property, spikes are widely regarded as an effective method as they stick outwards and upwards to make an uncomfortable landing platform for birds, encouraging them to roost elsewhere. The spikes are affixed to the building which can cause an eyesore to passers-by; however we are very aware of this and strive to make them as inconspicuous as possible.

Tension wires together with posts provide a barrier between your property and the birds; therefore they are another way of effectively reducing the amount of birds that roost at your commercial premises and cause damage to the area.

From solicitors Solihull to bars, restaurants and large purpose built offices, ensure your commercial property remains free from the damage that birds can cause by calling our professional team for expert advice and effective deterrents.

To find out more regarding the range of bird proofing Solihull we at Total Bird Control are able to implement, why not search our website today or contact us directly on 0121 695 9076? We assure you of an efficient and proactive response that never fails to impress.

Pigeon Netting and Clearance of Pigeon Guano on a Dovecote

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

In 2011 we were asked to stop pigeons entering the dovecote and to clear pigeon guano from inside.  The top of the dovecote was proofed using pigeon netting.  To reach the top of the dovecote we had to use a lorry mounted access platform.
