Bird Pest Control
Bird Legislation In Ireland
In Ireland, all bird species and their nests (if active) get full protection under the Wildlife Act, 1976. This means that you will need a licence from the NWPS before taking any direct action against birds, including trapping them in live cages.
The solution to this when birds need to be brought under control in a residential setting is based on exclusion and deterrents.

Bird spikes
Bird/Pigeon spikes can be attached to a number of surfaces including roofs, ledges and guttering. The metal spikes point upwards and make it a very unpleasant landing spot. No harm is done to the birds, as they simply will not land on them. Bird/Pigeon spikes are used in urban areas on commercial buildings and private properties. While not aesthetically pleasing, pigeon spikes are a highly effective deterrent.
Bird netting
The use of nets is another humane method of pest bird deterrent. While they won’t solve an existing infestation, when placed on roofs and around chimneys they are an impenetrable barrier and also difficult to land on. Netting is very affordable, and more discreet than spikes so it lends itself well to listed buildings and private properties.
Bird wire
Tension wire can be strung from posts on rooftops and ledges, to prevent birds landing on the surface below. Like netting, it is an affordable and unobtrusive solution.
Bird Repellent Gels
Bird Gel is a novel, highly effective yet discrete bird deterrent, for use on buildings and other structures. The gel combines potent visual and olfactory effects, which deter pest birds from landing on the structure. The gel is not toxic or harmful to the birds, and they do not have to come into contact with it for it to be effective. Once properly installed, the product remains effective for at least two years, even in harsh climates.
Bird Proofing Solar Panels
Birds/Pigeons nesting below your solar panels can be very damaging and can void your solar panel warranty. The mess pigeons make can also cause a bird mite infestation which can spread to inside your home. Luckily we have a solution and can install a steel wire mesh around your solar panels to stop pest pigeons from entering below.
