BIRD Control
The purpose of bird proofing is to make roosting and nesting sites inaccessible to pest birds. They can gain entry in a number of places in a building such as:
- under roof tiles
- in valleys (the meeting point of two section of roof and used as a drain into the gutter)
- under broken ridge-capping (cement "cap" which goes over the tile edges)
- drain pipe holes
- chimneys
- vents
- or any other gaps which birds can squeeze into. This gap can be as small as a hole where you barely insert three fingers!
BIRD CONTROL: The methods that may be used include bird wire, netting, pop riveting tin or aluminium plats, Avistrand (wire strung at a height just above roosting sites) and Bird-ex strips (plastic strips of one metre long and two centimetres wide with triangular points, usually glued to landing surfaces).
