Professional pigeon control in Reading
The basics of successful pest control lie in looking at the wider problem and wherever possible, putting in measures to exclude the animals that are causing the problem. There is far too much reliance on the use of chemicals, rodenticides and air weapons to eradicate the resident pest population and not enough though put into what the problem is and why its occurring.
This was the case of a pest problem in Reading recently where we were asked to give the customer a solution to a relatively simple problem; other pest control companies had tried other means to deter a small flock of pigeons from nesting up in roof top heating and ventilation machinery and this approach had failed.
When it comes to the feral pigeon population in Reading, we are seeing a steady rise in numbers and pressure gets put on the birds to discover new nesting sites, this building has been bird free for over ten years and then suddenly, a few breeding pairs move in unnoticed and they’ve got a problem.
Spiking and visual deterrents will not work once the birds have settled into an area, the professional way to achieve pest control in this situation is to install a long-life bird net over the open part of the plant area, thereby preventing the birds from getting back to the nests that have been built under the appliances. All that’s left now is to go back and finish off cleaning up the area so it becomes a safe working place for the heating engineers once more.
