Frequently Asked Questions About Bird Control

What is the most effective bird control method?
The best method depends on the bird species, location and level of activity. Bird netting prevents access to protected areas, while spikes and post and wire discourage landing. Acoustic and visual deterrents may suit larger, open spaces.
How do you stop birds nesting on buildings?
Bird netting, spikes and solar panel mesh can help prevent birds accessing nesting areas. The right solution depends on the building and bird species. Always check for active nests before installing bird proofing.
What is the best way to deter pigeons?
Pigeon netting is commonly used to protect larger areas, while bird spikes and post and wire systems discourage pigeons from landing on ledges and rooflines. The most suitable option depends on the site and level of activity.
Are bird deterrents safe for birds?
Many bird deterrents are designed to discourage landing, roosting or nesting without harming birds. Correct product selection and installation are important to ensure effective and responsible bird control.
Is bird proofing legal in the UK?
Bird proofing is generally legal, but wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected under UK wildlife legislation. Some activities require a licence, so always check the relevant regulations before starting work.
Can I install bird control products myself?
Some bird control products are suitable for DIY installation, while larger or more complex systems require professional expertise. PestFix provides installation guides and technical resources to help you choose and install suitable products.
What is the difference between bird proofing and bird deterrents?
Bird proofing typically uses physical barriers, such as netting or mesh, to prevent birds from accessing protected areas. Bird deterrents, including spikes, post and wire and acoustic systems, are designed to discourage birds from landing, roosting or gathering in particular locations.
