Warehouses and Industrial Units

Pest birds in warehouses and industrial units can cause damage to machinery and stock and pose a health risk to employees from their droppings.

Which species can cause problems?

Feral Pigeons

What are the problems?

• Dangerous build-ups of bird droppings on the floor below the ledge, presenting a slip hazard and disease transfer risk.
• Damage to building fabric. Faecal matter absorbs into stonework, tarnishes metallic and painted surfaces and causes damp through retention of moisture.
• Bad smells from high build-ups of faecal matter, dead birds and nests.
• Infestations of ticks, lice, mites and other biting insects into the building associated to the infestation.

How can I stop the problem?

An range of solutions exists to protect warehouses depending upon the severity of the bird infestation pressure present.

Light Pressure, perching only no food source present

• Ultrasonic Bird Deterrents
  Judicious use of our Ultrasonic Bird Repellers can have a dramatic effect on bird infestations in warehouses, driving birds away from the area in front of the speakers. Multi-speaker system help ensure there are no sound shadows where birds can hide.
• Bird Repellent Gels
  Bird repellent gels and liquids can be applied to the areas where the birds are perching.

Medium Pressure, roosting overnight either with or without a food source present and perching but with food sources present.

• Bird Spikes
  Bird Spikes can be installed on the steelwork to prevent the birds from perching. To ensure correct adhesion the steelwork should be prepared using surface activator or a wire brush.
• Post and Wire
  For a more professional yet technical solution use our Pigeon Post and Wire system with special beam clamp posts that clamp to the flange of the steelwork.
• Bird-Shock Flex-Track
  For low profile installations, bird-shock flex-track can be glued to the steelwork, detering the pest birds

Heavy Pressure, Nesting, with or without food sources.

• Netting
  netting to prevent the pest birds from getting into the roof and being able to land and nest in the roof beams.

To improve your success rate try to remove any food sources prior to installing your chosen deterrent.
