Bird Spikes

Perching deterrent spikes are a simple, maintenance-free method of preventing birds from perching or roosting on exposed features such as shop signages, drainpipes, guttering and narrow ledges.

These stainless steel spikes do not harm the birds, they are flexible, withstand UV light and can be installed almost anywhere with a specialist adhesive avoiding the need to penetrate the building shell. This is of particular use when a building surface cannot be drilled as with lead flashing, parapets and capping stones.

Bird point is available in widths that will protect ledges from 50mm wide up to 320mm in a single row.

It is important to note that despite their flexibility and effectiveness wherever pigeons attempt to perch, bird point is less successful in very sheltered places. Pigeons have even been known to build nests on top of the spikes if it means they get to stay in their preferred nesting area. Don’t worry though; we’ll tell you what’s suitable and guarantee our recommendations so the birds don’t come back.

Gull deterrent spikes are a heavier duty version of the pigeon spikes and have a slightly longer spike, preventing them from landing on the leading edges of buildings, exposed features such as lamp-posts, drainpipes and guttering.

The Birdpoint system is available with plastic or stainless steel prongs from 304 grade to 316 grade stainless.

Anti Bird Netting from Enviroguard

Enviroguard bird netting systems are one of the most effective and long lasting ways of bird proofing buildings against all urban bird species. It is particularly effective for large open areas such as roofs, loading bays over building facades and under bridges.

Bird netting is constructed from high density ultra-violet stabilised knotted 12/6 polyethylene being chemically inert and rot proof in addition to offering a high resistance to a wide range of chemical and environmental conditions. The nets range from 19mm gauge to deny the smallest pest birds, rising to 50mm to deny feral pigeons and 75mm gauge against seagulls. Colours can vary but are generally black, stone or translucent as standard.

Net Repairs
Nets can become damaged if snagged or vandalized, Enviroguard offer an onsite repair service to replace or patch damaged nets before birds regain access, which can offer significant cost savings over a full system replacement.

EnviroGuards specialist installation team, who carry out this type of work regularly, will attend your site, sign off method statements and risk assessments and complete the work with minimum disruption.

Enviroguard are accredited and regulated by the British Pest Control Association and are registered with CHAS, giving customers reassurance that all work is completed safely and effectively. Our 15 years of experience and knowledge of bird behavior ensures the result will be an installation that is sympathetic to the appearance of the building, whilst maintaining an effective barrier against pest birds.

Work recently stopped on a large Eric Wright Construction site, contactors were getting attacked by swooping gulls on a large flat roof, this was obviously not acceptable on health and safety grounds and the roof area was isolated straight away.

Enviroguard were contacted and surveyed the site the same day, gulls species were identified, advice was taken from Natural England, licences obtained and work commenced two days later.

The urgency was due to the fact that if the eggs had hatched it would have been an offence to disrupt the chicks and their nests which would have stopped work on the roof until the end of the nesting season July/August.

I am pleased to say that the nest removal scheme has been a success and contractors are back on the roof.

The gutters are also now working and are catching the summer of 2012 rain!!
