Bird proofing & management

There are many way birds can be a nuisance, noise, damage, disease and an unsightly mess left behind, are just a few. The majority of calls that Pest Lincs receive, are regarding Feral Pigeons, also know as town or city pigeons.

The Feral Pigeon has been a common feature in towns and cities for many centuries. There is no doubt flocks are increasing in size, faster than ever. The reason behind the ever growing population is almost certainly the fact of the availability of food and ease of good roosting, and breeding facilities, ie solar panels.

As more of us look to make long-term savings on our energy bills, solar panels are becoming increasingly popular. Over one million homes & businesses in the UK now have solar panels installed on their roof, giving the perfect harbourage for Feral Pigeons. Not only can they damage the wiring of the panels, Pigeons nesting under solar panels can also block guttering with nesting materials and guano. Pigeon Guano carries disease & pathogens which once dried, can be extremely harmful to humans. Not to mention the Mites, Ticks & Fleas they also carry!

Pest Lincs, specifically Tom, carried out recent proofing measures at our house in Cleethorpes both under the ridge tiles and around the solar panels. The work carried out was second to none. Knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. We’ve had no further bird issues! Many thanks Tom,
