When birds choose to nest, perch, and roost on your commercial premises, they can pose numerous challenges. Bird guano (faeces) presents a significant slipping hazard and contains pathogens that are harmful to inhale. Moreover, the unsightliness of bird mess and the noise generated by birds themselves can detract from the customer experience at your establishment.
The process of removing birds from your property is more intricate than it may initially appear. There are laws in place to safeguard birds, mandating the use of methods that deter rather than harm them. It’s illegal to kill any birds, or to remove their nests. Additionally, selecting the appropriate proofing method tailored to the environment and bird pressure requires considerable expertise and experience.
This is precisely where Pest In Peace excels. With extensive experience in safeguarding your business against all bird species, we are fully insured and experienced in obtaining licenses from Natural England for bird deterrence purposes if needed.

Bird Deterrent Options
Pest In Peace is well-versed in using various bird-proofing options for businesses across Cheshire and Manchester. Our favourite options include:
Bird Netting:
Avishock is a highly effective electrical track system that provides a low-voltage shock to birds when they try to land in an area that has been protected. The shock is very mild and does not hurt the bird in any way. Furthermore, Avishock is very discreet and is hardly visible to the human eye, making it an ideal choice for bird control in urban environments.
Bird Spikes:
Bird Free Gel is an innovative solution designed to repel pigeons and seagulls upon installation. Also referred to as “fire gel,” it exploits birds’ visual perception, resembling fire, to deter them from landing. This gel effectively discourages birds from roosting in targeted areas and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use as a humane and discreet proofing option.
Avishock:
Bird netting is a fantastic solution for preventing birds from accessing areas such as loading bays, roofs, balconies, courtyards and football stadiums. Netting options are versatile and can be tailored to the bird species causing problems and the environment where it is being used. Our netting solutions are highly discreet and, when installed by our experts and maintained correctly, can last for years to come.
Bird Free Gel:
Bird spikes are a humane option that prevent birds from roosting or perching on window sills, ledges, signs and other flat surfaces. Spikes are available in plastic and stainless steel options and do not harm birds. Instead, they make the area uncomfortable encouraging them to move on.
Bird Alert:
Bird Alert is a groundbreaking bird scarer that utilises visual and audio repellents to deter birds. Equipped with a microphone, Bird Alert detects nearby birds and emits deterrents such as audio repellents, sonic cannon blasts, and visual stimuli like scarecrows. It is particularly effective in agricultural and open environments where noise pollution is not a significant concern.
Post and Wire:
Post and wire systems are an effective bird control solution used to deter birds from perching or roosting. The system consists of stainless steel wires tensioned between vertical posts installed along ledges, beams, or other surfaces frequented by birds. The wires create an unstable landing surface, making it uncomfortable for birds to perch. They provide long-lasting bird control without detracting from the visual appeal of buildings or structures.
