Birds are a welcome part of our natural environment, but when they settle too closely to our buildings, they can quickly become a problem. Whether it’s pigeons nesting in roof spaces or gulls scavenging near commercial bins, their presence can lead to costly damage, health risks, and safety concerns for both homes and businesses.
Ignoring bird pests can lead to:
Droppings that stain and weaken building surfaces and equipment
Blocked gutters and drainage from nesting debris
Ongoing cleaning costs and sanitation concerns
Noise pollution, food theft, and aggressive behaviour (especially during nesting season)
A source of arthropod infestations such as fleas, flies, and ticks
Health hazards such as salmonellosis, E. coli, and mites
Safety risks and legal compliance issues
With decades of experience, we have developed a range of effective bird pest management solutions that prevent birds from becoming a nuisance in the first place, whilst removing them in a humane manner where necessary.
Gulls
Specialist seagull control for coastal or rooftop environments. We manage aggressive gull behaviour, nesting risks, and noise disruption through licenced deterrents and habitat-proofing techniques.
Pigeons
Our pigeon pest control services are designed to prevent roosting, nesting, and fouling in high-risk areas such as ledges, signage, roofs, and ventilation points.
Falconry deterrent services
A natural bird control method using trained birds of prey. Ideal for large commercial estates and open spaces where conventional deterrents may be less effective.
Bird proofing solutions
Custom-fit installations including bird netting, anti-roosting spikes, bird wire, optical gels, electric deterrent track, and laser devices – designed to prevent birds from nesting or roosting.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have a bird infestation?
Signs include droppings around ledges and gutters, nests on your roof or eaves, unusual noise early in the morning, and damage to roofing materials or paintwork.
How do bird control inspections work?
Our bird control technicians will carefully examine common bird hotspots on or around your property, identifying any activity and locating nests. After a detailed inspection, we will create a tailored solution to suit your needs, using a range of bird-proofing techniques. We’ll ensure the area is secure, preventing birds from nesting or settling in the future.
Why choose professional bird control services over DIY methods?
Our bird proofing services offer bespoke solutions designed to address your specific needs using specialist equipment to ensure all working on the project as well as those in the immediate area, are kept safe.
Our teams are licensed to use such equipment helping you save both time and money. DIY bird control often involves heavy physical work and expensive materials, which can sometimes lead to additional damage to buildings. Bird proofing work is carried out at height, which can be dangerous for anyone who is untrained or not equipped with the proper personal protective equipment. Our teams are fully aware of these hazards and conduct a thorough risk assessment for every job they undertake.
If netting is incorrectly installed and a thorough risk assessment has not been conducted there is a high chance that birds may be caught within the netting, leading to costly removal of netting or the unfortunate death of birds trapped within.
Nurture Pest Control’s methods preserve the structural integrity of your property, making them especially suitable for commercial or heritage buildings.
What types of birds can Nurture Pest Control manage?
We handle a wide range of common urban and rural bird species, including pigeons, gulls, and starlings, among others. Our bird control methods are carefully tailored to each species to ensure effective, humane, and long-lasting results.
Are your bird control methods safe and humane?
Absolutely. We prioritise humane deterrents, using physical barriers, spikes, netting, and safe repellents. We avoid harming birds and comply with all UK wildlife protection laws.
What is the best method of bird control?
The most effective bird control solution will depend on your property, the bird species involved, and the level of activity in the area.
In many cases, bird netting and bird spikes provide a highly effective and humane approach. Bird netting is ideal for protecting larger areas, preventing birds from accessing vulnerable spaces without causing harm, while bird spikes discourage birds from landing on ledges, signs, and rooftops.
For larger commercial and industrial sites requiring a more flexible approach, intelligent bird scaring systems use carefully placed visual and auditory deterrents to safely discourage birds from settling. Where a natural solution is preferred, bird hawking services employ trained birds of prey to gently deter pest birds, making this an excellent option for large, open environments such as industrial estates and commercial premises.
