Bird Proofing In Gloucestershire

Got birds in your home or business? We can quickly catch and remove them. But how do you stop them coming back?

That’s where our bird-proofing solutions come in – protecting your property from the mess and damage birds can cause. We use several effective methods to keep birds away from your Gloucestershire property. These include installing bird wire, spikes and protective netting in problem areas.

For longer-term protection, we can also set up electronic deterrent systems or apply special repellent gels that birds don’t like. Need advice on keeping your property bird-free? Speak to us today for more advice on pest-proofing to protect your property.

Solar Panel Bird Protection
Safeguard Your Green Investment

Why Bird-Proof Your Solar Panels?

Our specialist solar panel protection uses high-quality mesh systems that prevent birds from accessing the space beneath panels while maintaining optimal airflow and panel efficiency.

The mesh is professionally installed with non-damaging fixings that won’t affect your panel warranty.

Solar panels provide the perfect sheltered environment for birds to nest beneath.
This creates multiple problems:

Fire Risks

Nesting materials can create dangerous fire hazards

Reduced Efficiency

Bird droppings on panels significantly reduce energy production

Physical Damage

Birds can damage wiring and panel components

Warranty Issues

Bird damage may invalidate manufacturer warranties

Bird Repellent Gels

Non-toxic deterrents for smaller problem areas

Common Bird Pests in Gloucestershire

Feral Pigeons
Urban areas throughout Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud frequently experience problems with feral pigeon populations. These birds create substantial mess with droppings, damage buildings with nesting materials, and can transmit diseases.
Gulls
Coastal and urban areas like Gloucester Docks face increasing issues with aggressive gulls, particularly during breeding season (April-July). These protected birds require specialist management approaches.
Starlings
Rural and suburban properties across the Cotswolds often encounter problems with starling murmurations and roosting flocks that create noise disturbances and fouling issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bird Control

How do you humanely control problem birds?
We use a range of humane deterrent methods rather than harmful approaches. Our bird control solutions include bird netting, anti-perching spikes, wire systems, and gel deterrents. These methods prevent birds from roosting and nesting without causing them harm, encouraging them to relocate to more suitable habitats away from your property.
What damage can birds cause to my property?
Birds, particularly pigeons and gulls, can cause significant damage to buildings. Their droppings are acidic and can erode stonework, damage roofing materials, and block gutters and downpipes leading to water damage. Nesting materials can block chimneys and vents, creating fire hazards and affecting ventilation systems. Birds can also dislodge roof tiles and damage solar panels, potentially leading to costly repairs.
Are bird droppings a health hazard?
Yes, bird droppings pose several health risks. They can contain parasites and pathogens that cause diseases such as psittacosis. When dried, droppings create dust that can trigger respiratory problems, particularly in people with asthma or other breathing conditions. Fresh droppings on pavements and walkways also create slip hazards. Professional cleaning and sanitising is recommended for areas with significant bird fouling.
Why should I protect my solar panels from birds?
Solar panels provide an ideal sheltered environment for birds to nest beneath. This can lead to several problems including fire risks from nesting materials near electrical components, reduced energy efficiency due to droppings on panels, physical damage to wiring and components, and potential warranty issues. Our specialist solar panel mesh protection prevents birds from accessing the space beneath panels while maintaining optimal airflow and efficiency.
Do I need a licence to remove bird nests?
Most wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law in the UK. However, certain pest species like feral pigeons can be controlled under General Licences in specific circumstances where they pose risks to public health or safety. Before any nest removal, we conduct a thorough assessment to ensure all actions comply with current wildlife legislation. Our technicians are fully trained in the legal requirements surrounding bird control and always use the most humane approaches available.
