Pest birds such as Pigeons, Jackdaws and Starlings can cause a number of problems when roosting or nesting on buildings and watercourses. Suddenstrike Ltd specialises in providing a complete solution to bird control and associated problems.
Problems
Pest birds can cause an number of problems, the obvious being fouling which can make buildings and pathways look untidy, pest birds also cause more sinister problems such as -
Transmitting human diseases - as Salmonella, Listeria spp. and Campylobacteria spp., which are all causes of food poisoning. As well as the above pigeons also transmit Ornithosis which when caught is commonly misdiagnosed as flu.
Insect Infestations - Bird nests support a large variety of insect life including blood-feeding insects, fabric-damaging insects, stored food pests and carrion feeding insects. When birds are roosting near human activity, insects can spread from the nest and carry a risk of disease and illness to any surrounding humans.
Endanger Human Safety – Fouling is a serious problem as it can make pavements and stairways slippery, this can then lead to injury to staff and pedestrians.
Damage to Buildings and Property - Bird fouling not only makes buildings and property look untidy, but can also cause corrosion as bird droppings are very acidic, this can happen when flocks congregate on buildings and lighting stanchions. Bird nests often block gutters and downspouts which can then spoil the exterior of a building and more seriously, cause timber decay and structural damage.
Aircraft Damage - Birds can cause severe damage to aircrafts especially if they get sucked into the engine. Not only does this cause damage to the aircraft but could also result in the loss of human life.

Solutions
To achieve long-lasting control of pest bird infestations, access to the birds nesting, roosting and feeding areas must be denied, however this is not always possible as birds can be extremely persistent.
Suddenstrike Ltd are specialists in bird proofing and pigeon proofing and can offer a tailor made service to suit your needs, we offer many bird proofing and bird deterrent systems
Installing Bird Net Systems - When installed correctly bird net systems denies the birds access to their nesting and roosting areas on buildings, ledges and other perches making these areas 'bird proof'. Bird netting systems along with spike systems are favoured methods to protect buildings from all pest bird species.
Installing Bird Spike Systems - Bird spike systems are both humane and effective as they deny bird’s access to ledges and roosting sites. Spike systems are strips of stainless steel spikes which are then adhered to ledges with a strong all-weather adhesive. There are various types of bird spikes available for different birds including - pigeon spikes and gull spikes.
Chimney Guards - chimney guards are specially designed to keep birds from landing and perching on the chimney pot and nesting in the chimney itself.
Bird Deterrents - It is not always possible to proof against pest birds, to resolve this we use a specialist bird repellent device containing audio, pneumatic and visual systems these are effective bird scarer systems.
Bird Dropping removal - Pigeons and other pest birds leave unsightly droppings in areas where they are roosting. We offer a service to remove pigeon droppings, cleanse and sanitise the area.
We also offer specialist solutions for getting rid of pigeons including pigeon deterrents and pigeon scarers.
*Starlings, their nests and eggs are protected by the
Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
