Are Birds Causing you Bother?

While birds may be all well and good in public parks, or even in the woods and other areas you may like to visit the same cannot be true of your work place, or your home. If you suddenly find that birds have moved in and are causing you problems then you might be wondering what your best options are when it comes to bird control.

Finding the right solution to your bird problem will depend largely on the problem itself. This is because there are numerous options available, and some will be more effective for specific issues.

#1. Domestic problems

If you find that you have a problem with birds at home then it may be that netting is your best option. This is especially the case if you are looking to protect pond inhabitants, or even crops from our feathered friends. 
In such cases it is best to consider who the most likely culprits are that are causing damage. This is because you will need to ensure that gaps within the netting you choose are appropriate to stop such pests from being able to squeeze through and continue causing damage.

If you are finding that birds are causing problems with your chimney they it may be worth investigating having a chimney protector installed. This will stop birds, and other small animals from being able to get inside your chimney stack, and therefore falling down the chimney itself.

However, if you find that birds have managed to get inside your roof or loft space and have set up a nest it is always best to contact the local council or bird removal experts who can provide the best advice in dealing with your unwelcome guests. Once the problem has been suitably dealt with they can also provide advice on ways to ensure that the problem doesn’t present itself again.

#2. Commercial problems

Of course, it’s not just domestic properties that can experience problems with birds. Many public buildings can be destroyed as a result of bird droppings, usually left by pigeons or starlings. The best ways to resolve such problems is to reduce the opportunity for such birds to roost or perch on the side of buildings.

Bird spikes from total bird control offer the best solution to this as it makes it impossible for birds to land on ledges or window sills and roof tops. However, it is again worth considering the species of bird causing problems as if the spikes used are too large, smaller birds will still be able to perch and will continue to cause problems.

If you do not lie the idea of using spikes, then bird wire can be just as effective and is often regarded as being less obvious and therefore more aesthetically pleasing.
