Birds are a valued part of our environment, but when they nest or roost on buildings, they can create serious issues. From roof and gutter damage to slip hazards and contamination, the impact on your property, staff, and customers can be significant. Without effective prevention, problems often escalate, leading to higher costs and increased health and safety risks.
Every site has different challenges. That’s why we assess each location carefully before designing a bird deterrent system suited to the species, environment, and level of risk.
Our approach combines proven anti-bird measures with modern, discreet solutions that prevent access and nesting while safeguarding the welfare of the birds. All work is carried out by trained, accredited technicians, in line with UK regulations and best practice.
We offer a full range of bird proofing solutions, each selected and installed for durability, effectiveness, and minimal disruption:
Bird netting
Durable, long-lasting exclusion to prevent access to roofs, courtyards, and external utilities.
Bird spikes
Effective for preventing roosting on ledges, beams, and gutters.
Bird wire
A discreet system designed to create an unstable landing area that discourages pest birds from landing and perching on buildings.
Optical gels
A modern solution that appears as fire to birds through UV vision, deterring them without harm. Contained in discreet, low-profile plastic dishes, it remains effective for a minimum of four years without replacement.
Birds of prey services
A natural, humane method, hawking uses the presence of raptors such as falcons, hawks and eagles to deter pest birds.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I bird proof my property?
Bird proofing your property is an essential investment in both your peace of mind and the longevity of your space. Birds, especially pigeons, often settle on rooftops, gutters, and other quiet spots, causing damage that may go unnoticed until it requires costly repairs. Their droppings, which are highly acidic, can corrode stonework, roof tiles, and other materials over time, leaving you with preventable expenses and mess.
Beyond appearance and property care, bird proofing also helps to protect your health. Bird droppings can carry a range of bacteria and parasites, including histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, posing potential health risks.
By taking preventive steps now, you will enjoy a safer, cleaner, and more attractive property, free from the issues that birds can bring.
Why choose professional bird control over DIY methods?
Our bird-proofing services offer bespoke solutions designed to address your specific needs, 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. Nurture Pest Control’s methods are designed to preserve the structural integrity of your property, making them especially suitable for commercial or heritage buildings. We use specialist access equipment to ensure everyone working on the project as well as those in the immediate area are kept safe. Our teams are licensed to use such equipment.
What is the best way to bird proof solar panels?
Solar panel bird proofing usually involves putting physical barriers around the edges of the panels, which prevent birds from nesting underneath them. This can be achieved by installing wire or plastic mesh around the edges of solar panels to prevent birds accessing the space underneath. Additionally, bird spikes around solar panels will deter birds from landing and perching and offer a durable long-term solution.
