Management of any birds under the licences can only be completed where the species is causing conflict with conservation or public safety. Installation – Using a suitable UV stabilised silicon adhesive or clip is critical to increasing life expectancy. Pigeons love pergolas and arbors. They offer a high-up, safe place to watch out for predators and identify food sources. The problem, in most cases, is that below them are beautiful patios, cars, pathways or seated areas which get covered in pigeon droppings.
The gull breeding season is generally from March to September. Urban gulls can be a particular nuisance or threat during this time. The Defender® Seagull Control Spikes are designed with longer pins to enable them to stop seagulls. Therefore, if seagulls are causing your issue, this is the deterrent spike for you. We have three other gull deterrents that can be used for seagulls - The Defender® Ridge Spike, The Defender® Thistle®, and The Defender® Chimney Pot Strap. You can view all products suitable for seagulls here. Whichever gull deterrent method is used it must be done legally. Gulls, like all UK birds, are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and it is illegal to remove their eggs and nests or disturb them once they have begun nesting. There are exceptions however, so gull control is possible under certain licence conditions depending on the risk, the gull species, and the timing of the gull management plan.Step 4 – Fastening: Hold the flat end still against the pot, and pull the end with the spring around. Pull tight and simply hook the end of the spring into the nearest hole along the strap. This will hold the Defender® Chimney Pot Strap in place.
One of the prime spots pigeons, seagulls, or small birds will perch on is ledges and windowsills. The windowsill width varies from home to home; unfortunately, one size does not fit all. Firstly, establish the bird or birds causing the problem and then measure the width or length of the sill. Once you have this information, you can choose from the options below. The choices for window sills can be overwhelming; call us on 01626 835055 if you need help deciding which system suits your bird problem. Base Colour – Transparent clear base blends well with most surfaces irrespective of the surface colour The Defender® Stainless Steel Ridge Spike has 2 rows of 15 cm (6 inches) long 304 Grade stainless steel pins. They protrude from the UV Stabilised Polycarbonate base of the spike at 2 different angles. This spread of pins acts as a bird deterrent and stops seagulls and birds from landing on the apex of the roof. The polycarbonate base of the bird spike means that you can bend a spike along a shallow curve. Be aware that this will increase the space between the spike points so may be less effective against target birds. A wide range of Bird Spikes for next day delivery. Bird spikes are an anti-perch device used to protect linear surfaces including ridge tiles, parapets, tv aerials, ledges, gutters, beams, pipes, signs, lights etc.Defender® Ridge Spikes pins make landing uncomfortable for seagulls and other birds, without injuring them. This makes them move on to other more accessible areas. The pins themselves are extra long so cater not only for pigeons and other similar-sized birds, but also for the seagulls which have longer legs. All Defender® Stainless Steel Bird Control Products are humane and recommended by the RSPB. Due to the nature of bird control issues, the areas needing to be proofed will often be high up on your property and hard to access. If you intend to do the bird-proofing yourself, you must be confident using ladders and working at height. If you cannot do the work yourself, please get in touch with a roofer, pest control company or handyman to assist you. It may also be possible to complete an egg and nest removal programme but, as with all gull control methods, timing is crucial for effective and legal control. There is some more in-depth reading on risks associated with bird droppings and cleaning here - Cleaning Bird Droppings Information
Defender® Ridge Spikes have 2 rows of stainless steel pins that fan out. With this angle of pins, the bird and seagull ridge deterrent will stop birds from landing on the apex of any roof. How do ridge spikes stop seagulls landing? David Jones, the owner of Jones and Son, designed and patented this incredibly easy-to-use seagull and pigeon deterrent after he experienced his own bird problem on his property. Defender® Chimney Pot Spikes have always been made in the UK, using only the highest quality materials. Jones and Son Pest Control Supplies Ltd prides itself on the manufacturer of quality steel bird spikes, seagull spikes and plastic pigeon spikes that will keep birds off your property's chimneys and roofs.Gulls are expert scavengers and have probably moved to urban areas due to waste and litter being a readily available food source. Urban rooftops are an ideal replacement for their natural nesting habitat so gull proofing likely nesting points will prevent your property being used. Using a specially trained bird of prey as a deterrent is also an effective means to deter gulls.
