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.

Can Bird Spikes Help Prevent Damage to Buildings?

Tuesday, 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.

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!

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.
