Birds are often seen as adding beauty and life to gardens and many other spaces, and can be stunning to look at; some people even keep them as pets. However, it is not always the case that our avian friends are entirely welcome, and theycan cause destruction or distress in various different ways. There are many times that you may be looking for bird pest control; here are just some of the situations when you might want to send them flocking elsewhere!

• Birds often found in developed areas such as pigeons and seagulls will scavenge from scraps we leave behind. They can also despoite guano where they roost which may cause your home or office to be unattractive in appearance.
• Birds are vectors for various diseases, including well known conditions such as E.Coli and salmonella. They are prone to carrying fungal infections, and mites may also transfer from birds to humans.
• When birds are in breeding season, they can become aggressive and territorial. They may attack anyone who disturbs them, which can be very dangerous.

Obviously these are unpleasant situations for anyone to have to deal with, and it is essential that professional advice is sought from experienced bird handlers so that the situation can be dealt with both effectively and humanely. There are many different ways that birds can be controlled to avoid issues like these. For businesses, nettting and wire can be used to prevent birds from roosting; it is also possible to use techniques such as hawking, where a bird of prey is introduced to the area on a regular basis to convince pest birds that they are in danger if they remain nearby. Some birds can also be convinced to leave an area through safe removal of their nests and eggs. There are, therefore, many situations where help may be required to deal with infestations of birds, along with a variety of methods of handling them.
