Bird Control
Our Bird Control Service
While birds may seem harmless, species like pigeons and gulls can become a serious nuisance in public spaces. They often nest and roost on rooftops, ledges, and in disused buildings—creating mess, spreading disease, and causing damage to both residential and commercial properties.
Bird droppings (guano) not only deface buildings and increase cleaning costs, but they can also harbour harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites such as mites, posing real health risks to humans.
It’s important to note that bird nest removal is regulated by law. For example, once gulls begin breeding, their nests are legally protected and cannot be disturbed without a specialist licence. If you're unsure about whether a nest can be removed, it’s advisable to consult the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
Attempting to clean or remove bird droppings yourself is not recommended, as guano can carry serious diseases. Reading Pest Control provides fully qualified bird control specialists who are licensed, equipped, and trained to carry out the work quickly, safely, and in line with current wildlife legislation.
