Enviroguard have installed bird free fire gel on numerous buildings against both seagulls and pigeon infestations with a 100% success rate.

Why use bird free fire gel repellent?

  • A non-toxic gel treatment suitable for sensitive historic or listed buildings and structures, as it doesn’t require any drilling that might damage the treated areas.
  • Ideal for complex structures that would be difficult to treat using traditional spikes or bird netting.
  • Repeated contact with Bird Free gel temporarily irritates the birds. They learn to avoid landing and roosting on treated areas such as exposed building ledges or parapets.
  • The gel creates a sensory reaction after just a few visits, dispersing the flock from the treated area.
  • Bird Free Gel treatment can overcome the strong homing instincts of pigeons, deterring them from returning to established roosting areas.
  • Invisible from street level, so doesn’t affect the look of a building, monument or statue.
  • Effective for use against all species of birds, in large or small flocks.
  • Can be used on all surfaces. Even porous surfaces such as concrete, wood and unsealed tiles can be protected after suitable preparation.
  • Does not melt or freeze and will remain effective after rain, snow, hail or any other UK weather.
  • Durable enough to only require twice yearly maintenance inspections to repair any areas worn down by pest birds.
  • Convenient solution that can be applied quickly with minimal disruption to your business.

AVISHOCK  is not a bird scarer device in the conventional visual or audio sense. Instead avi shock bird control modifies the behaviour of urban birds by touch, acting as an electric bird deterrent, deterring the birds from perching, roosting or nesting on ledges with a harmless but disconcerting electric shock which acts as a bird barrier in just the same way electric fencing manages farm livestock.

When a bird lands on the track a circuit is made thus causing a small electric shock. Tests and now experience have shown that AVISHOCK bird scarers teach birds to avoid the protected surface in the future, thus presenting a powerful psychological barrier rather than a sometimes unsightly physical barrier.

This system is ideal for listed building and areas where drilling and physical systems do not want to be seen from ground level.

Key Features of the Avi shock system

  • A highly effective way to get rid of pigeons and other bird species, to remove infestation pressures on ledges, edges, parapets, beams and roof peaks.
  • The lowest profile bird management system available. Unlike a typical bird barrier i.e. bird spikes it is hardly noticeable at close quarters and virtually invisible at any distance for meeting challenging architect specifications and protecting visually sensitive locations.
  • Uniquely flexible to bend round undulations, curves and corners for practical protection of signs, statues and other difficult or impossible to proof sites.

Predator Bird Calls

Many species of birds have a “distress call”. These are sounds that the birds transmit only when they are being attacked by a predator. Distress scaring systems have a recording of the distress call of the pest bird, which is played back through a series of loudspeakers. Broadcasting distress calls elicits different reactions in different species of pest birds. Social and aggressive birds that communicate verbally within colonies, such as gulls and corvids will usually fly towards the source initially to see if they can mob the predator and help their kind. When the call ceases and they do not find a predator they are then unnerved or ‘scared’ by the possible danger and disperse. Birds that do not communicate much verbally or do not have bills or claws to threaten predators such as pigeons or starlings will tend to stop and assess the situation then disperse. The best results come from the distress calls of the actual pest bird species causing the problem.

The pictures bellow show a flower silo where Enviroguard recently fitted a scaring system against gulls and starlings.

Enviroguard supply a wide range of Audio Distress Systems for different situations and can advise on the most suitable for your specific bird problem.

 

Enviroguard routinely work alongside architectural planners and designers, consulting with them in the interests of developing effective bird deterrent solutions that are sympathetic and in keeping with a building’s design.

With an extensive understanding of species types and their behavioural patterns, we help determine which birds are the most likely to target your structural design, in addition to identifying the areas of the structure most vulnerable to, roosting and nesting. For further help on our range of bird control solutions, or to book our architectural advice, please feel free to call us on Freephone: 0800 068 7279. All quotations are free and without obligation

Birds can generate large amounts of droppings and related guano on external areas of buildings and inside roof spaces if left untreated.

There are several serious health and safety concerns related to bird droppings and associated waste, which are categorized as follows:

  • Organisms developing in birds and passed to humans, e.g ornithosis. This organism is found in the bird gut, Infection from the gut, nasal and eye secretion contaminates fouling, feathers and nesting material which can survive many months in dry dust and droppings. Disease transmission to humans is caused through inhaling the contaminated dust.
  • Organisms feeding / growing in birds nests e.g. Flies, Lice, Fleas, Insect ticks, Mites but also fungi that can also cause severe and sometimes fatal lung tissue infections.
  • Organisms picked up and spread by birds e.g Salmonella and other diseases from contaminated foods, sewage plants, and agricultural sites.

Clearing of fouling, nesting material and bird carcasses is unpleasant work and is often carried out at height and in cramped situations such as roof spaces, which can pose its own set of health and safety problems.

Enviroguard are fully experienced in providing a full fouling and decontamination service. As standard a full COSHH, Method Statement and Risk Assessment will be undertaken during the survey and prior to any works being carried out to ensure the work is in line with all relevant Health and Safety Regulations

Once all fouling, nesting material and associated debris is removed the entire area is disinfected with a specialist biocide to make the area 100% safe, all Pesticides used in the control/treatment of fouling are selective and applied to ensure public safety, once completed work will be signed off with a certification of completion.

Bird wire is an almost invisible tensioned wire system that prevents  birds from perching in light pressure areas of infestation.

Bird deterrent wires are a less aggressive-looking method of preventing pigeons from attempting to perch on narrow building features such as window sills and stone or brick ledges. They work by preventing birds from looking over ledges into potential feeding sites as well as discouraging them from settling or landing.

Bird wire can be used for the following applications:

  • Light pressure bird problems
  • New buildings where birds have not yet started to roost
  • Buildings where a discreet bird proofing method is required
  • Glass fronted buildings.

Nylon-coated wires are secured and tensioned between 100mm or 130mm tall stainless steel posts set at 1.3 meter centres and fixed into stone or brick using a 25mm nylon anchor plug. Pigeon wires are usually arrayed in two or three parallel rows to make it difficult for any bird to land and move around freely.

Supporting posts can also be powder-coated and welded to brackets for use on more fragile surfaces or where it is important to maintain a weather seal – such as on cladding panels or lead flashing. They can be fixed directly into stone and brick, but can also be mounted onto purpose-made brackets for fixing to cladding and leaded surfaces.

Gull Wire

In the same way pigeon wires deter birds from perching near feeding sites, this heavy-duty version of the same system prevents gulls from settling and using ledges as daytime vantage points. The stronger wires and taller posts will stand up more readily to the weight of the larger birds and will cause them to look elsewhere for a perch.

When installed correctly, the wires are a discreet and effective deterrent against pigeons and gulls.

If you require a bird wire installation please contact Enviroguard online or give is a call to book a free site survey

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.

ENVIRO 28×28 28mm Starlings Black, Stone
ENVIRO 50×50 50mm Pigeons Black, Stone, Translucent
ENVIRO 75×75 75mm Seagulls Black

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.

All Bird Net installations are guaranteed for up to 10 years.
