Bird-conflict assessment and deterrence — Pest controller
Describe the affected ledges, roof areas or entrances and the practical problem caused by bird activity. Provide photographs from a safe position, identify any nesting signs, and ask for an assessment of alternatives rather than ordering a particular deterrent before species and site conditions are checked.
Service scope
Assessment of bird-related problems on buildings and planning of appropriate prevention or deterrence where lawful and necessary. Species, nesting activity, welfare, maintenance and building condition must be considered; netting or exclusion is not automatically appropriate at every site.
What is normally included
- Assessment of bird activity and impact
- Review of humane prevention options
- Coordination of lawful specialist measures
What is not included
- Unauthorised disturbance of active nests
- Deterrents that trap or injure birds
Typical tasks
- Review the reported conflict
- Identify bird and nesting considerations
- Assess building access
- Compare prevention options
- Plan inspection and maintenance of agreed measures
What to include in your brief
- Affected building areas
- Nature of the problem
- Bird-activity photographs
- Nesting observations
- Access and maintenance arrangements
Choosing the right professional
Look for a provider who discusses welfare and site-specific restrictions as well as installation. Ask how any system will be checked and maintained, and who confirms the local permissions and species considerations before work starts.
Important considerations
- Poorly maintained deterrents can entangle wildlife
- Nesting activity can restrict the timing or suitability of work
