Valley Pest Control specialises in bird management and control across the South West on industrial, commercial, public and domestic premises. As pest control becomes increasingly important in virtually all markets we believe the demand for extensive knowledge and experience in designing and delivering systems will continue to grow.

Our aim is to supply high quality products and services to help solve the rising number of bird related problems that challenge our modern way of life.

Solutions
The accumulation of bird faeces, nesting materials, feathers and dead carcasses can cause many problems detracting from the appearance of the property. The results of this may also be:

• Off-putting to homeowners and employees
• A source of secondary pests
• Could lead to prosecution
• A possible source of disease
• Corrosive to stonework and metal fixings
• Blocked gutters and drains causing water to flood buildings
• A serious slip hazard for potential accidents
• Expensive in ongoing costs to continuously remove and clean.   

Therefore, Valley Pest Control offer a wide range of solutions for dealing with pigeons and other bird pest control problems. We supply and fit cost-effective deterrents to prevent seagulls and pigeons nesting or roosting on properties. The birds are not harmed merely persuaded to move away and find somewhere more comfortable to roost.

All the products and services are as humane and unobtrusive as possible with a wide range of solutions from removal of nesting material to bird netting and spikes.

Our proofing services have been utilised by both commercial and residential customers from major companies to institutions, local authorities and private dwellings.

Trained and experienced Valley Pest Control staff will always assess the particular problem before recommending a programme, which may involve several different means of control.

Bird Spikes

Most people wouldn’t even know that bird spikes have been installed on a building. They are virtually invisible even from a short distance. However, consideration should be given to the aesthetics of a building and what the building would look like if it wasn’t proofed and left with the pigeons perching on it and their droppings covering it.

Point systems are limited to pigeons and gulls and are a deterrent, which rely on upward pointing wires or spikes to deter the birds from perching. There are many different products available. These systems usually stick in place with silicone adhesive, but can also be secured with suitable screws.

Bird spikes are:

            
The spikes' clever design provides the solution to virtually every situation where spikes are suitable. The materials can be used to protect against pigeons in a wide variety of circumstances such as night time roosting and on narrow pipes to wide building ledges. Longer spikes are designed to deter gulls from landing.

Bird Nets

Bird netting can be used against any of the urban pest species. When fitted properly, with the correct mesh size for the species of bird, a net will keep even the most persistent of birds out of the heaviest pressure sites.  Netting can be fitted horizontally to exclude pest birds from open areas such as walls and courtyards. They can also be fitted vertically to proof large frontages of buildings. As a combination of horizontal and vertical fitting, nets can be used to proof installations such as air conditioning units on roofs.

Wire Systems

Wire systems are also cost effective and extremely versatile bird proofing system. It has been used for many years to keep pigeons and gulls off buildings and can be adapted to fit almost any building and architectural feature.
