Birds present a serious problem for many properties and structures. They are prone to find areas out of reach which allow them a safe environment to roost and nest, but their presence can cause damage to the buildings, and presents a health and safety concern, as bird fouling is corrosive in nature and contains many bacteria and insects.

Due to these out of reach areas, abseiling offers an unobtrusive and cost effective solution in dealing with these pests.

The rope access bird proofing services we offer include:

  • Installation of Avishock Bird Control system
  • Clearance, removal & treatment of fouling
  • Netting Installation: Installing bird netting to prevent birds from entering specific areas such as balconies, rooftops, and courtyards.
  • Spike Installation: Installing bird spikes to deter birds from landing or roosting on ledges, signs, and other surfaces.
  • Bird Wire Installation: Installing bird wire systems creates an unstable surface for birds, making it difficult for them to land and roost.
  • Bird Repellent Gels: Applying bird repellent gels on surfaces that birds typically perch on. The gels emit a smell that birds find unpleasant, making them avoid the area.
  • Bird Deterrent Sound Systems: Installing sound systems that emit distress calls or predator noises to scare away birds.
  • Bird Trapping and Removal: Capturing and relocating birds that have already taken up residence in a building or area.
