First introduced to Britain in the 17th century, the lack of natural predators and abundance of food has seen this specie’s population grow to the point where it is often referred to as a pest.
Very few of our native Canada Geese are migratory and huge numbers can be found all year round. Their high numbers, large size and aggressive behaviour can out compete other water fowl for nesting sites as well as food, meaning while Canada Geese populations grow other species decline. During the breeding season they can also turn their aggression towards humans and at any time of year their droppings can decimate our open leisure areas.
Anyone attempting control needs to be aware that as a non-native species it is a legal requirement to humanely cull any Canada Goose which comes under your direct control unless you have a specific licence to release it. This is not a job for the inexperienced or faint hearted.
Control can be achieved by many methods, nest prevention, egg oiling, disturbance with trained dogs etc. As a last resort there is also the option of a licensed humane cull.
We provide control of Canada Geese for commercial and domestic clients. Using only the most reliable products and techniques our fully qualified team are experienced in all aspects of bird proofing and deterrence.
The Feral Pigeon (Columba Livia) is descended from the Rock Dove and is a natural cliff dweller, as such it is perfectly at home in our towns and cities because it sees each building as just another cliff to be colonised.
These migratory birds are only a problem for a limited time each year but if you have a few of them nest above your door you’ll certainly appreciate the problems they cause.
When hunting for food or protecting their nests gulls can be incredibly aggressive. If you’re unlucky enough to have them nest on your property you’ll know what a threat they can be when they’re looking after their eggs or young. Even if it’s just a regular loafing spot the mess beneath can be enormous.
If you have any kind of project planned which involves ground disturbance, at certain times of the year you need to take into account the possibility of ground nesting birds.
