Pigeon - Bird Control | Manchester Pest Control Services, Feral Birds, Pigeons, Humane Pest Control for Pigeons, Birds, Natural Pest Control

Bird control over the years has become a major part of our services, from netting roofs to pigeon spikes on churches to warehouses, acoustic deterrents to guano clearance.

Often referred to as ‘rats with wings’, feral pigeons have become just as much of a problem in towns and cities as their furry, four-legged counterparts.

Descendants of rock doves, originally cliff dwelling birds, the feral pigeon has adapted well to living alongside humans and is an integral feature of town centres across the country. Pigeons have been known to carry diseases such as Chiamdiosis, a virus similar to influenza, and Psittacosis, similar to pneumonia. Spores from the droppings can be inhaled as dust and carried on the wind. It can cause a flu-like illness in healthy people, but poses more serious problems to those with low immunity.

An undisputed and particularly visual pigeon problem however is mess. Combined pigeon deposits can weigh up to several tons and costs £15 million a year to clear up.

Manchester Pest Control - Natural Bird Control for Pigeons, Seagulls and other birds

We pride ourselves on our bird control, using live predatory response to target pest bird species, natural predators like our peregrine falcons (Falco Peregrinus) which are trained to give chase and deter birds from causing a public nuisance by breeding, roosting and perching in places where they are not welcome.

SOLUTIONS - Pest Control for Pigeons, Seagulls & Other Birds

Manchester Pest Control can provide a natural form of avian pest control . The results are immediate and impressive. We find the customers which this service is most suited to are stadiums, car parks, train sheds, shopping malls, ports and landfill sites.

On landfill sites we offer a complete package, which includes fly spraying in summer months (with quad bike or back pack equipment), also baiting for rodent control. We work with yourselves should you require one day or on a weekly contract.

Problems are also caused by the build up of faeces due to the slippery and unsafe footing it provides on walkways and ledges.

Pigeon Droppings can cause a particular health hazard

Droppings pose a particular problem in building renovations where large accumulations have been allowed to build up. Dealing with such accumulations can be expensive and time consuming because of the protective equipment and procedures that may be required.
