Richard came promptly when requested and dealt with the rat problem in a pleasant and efficient manner.

We had this company in for wasp removal I would have to say they are extremely knowledgeable and professional in their work. The problem was dealt with by a young man named Paul who was very polite and resolved our problem efficiently and within a few days the problem of wasps was eradicated. I would use this company again.

They came to get rid of a wasp nest that was right next to a bedroom window and dozens of wasps were coming into the room. They came and sorted the problem very quickly. I was given a 24 hr guarantee that the wasps were gone. We’ve not had a problem since.

Found what I thought was a bees nest in my house roof space. Called James at Pest Control. He arrived half an hour later, identified it as a wasp nest rather than bees, and 10 minutes after that the nest had been dealt with. Friendly and professional throughout the visit. Would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Gareth highly enough. Within 15 minutes of my phonecall Gareth was at my house and dealing with the problem. It was quite a complicated situation but Gareth dealt with it efficiently and professionally. I had to call Gareth back which wasn't a problem despite getting late into the evening. Gareth was friendly, approachable and offered sound advice.

23rd August 2020
Came within an hour of the call, wasp nest appears to have vanished and no longer having issues

22nd August 2020
Incredibly happy with the service received recently from Gareth of PestControl.co.uk! We received a prompt call back and his knowledge of his profession was obvious when he identified our issue over the phone (bird/pigeon mites). He arrived same day as agreed and was both friendly and professional as he got to work and in no time we were bug free! He adhered to the current social distancing rules and wore a face covering. While there he noticed we had covered an extractor fan - to stop wasps - and so he took a look in the attic and removed a huge uninhabited wasp nest the size of a beach ball! The price was very reasonable for the same day service. I would not hesitate to recommend Gareth and his company to anyone looking for a pest control service.

22nd August 2020
No Problems. Everything carried out efficiently and on time. The person (who's name I have sadly forgotten) was helpful, understanding and polite. I will definitely keep in mind should I need again

Lee was very helpful, thorough and informative. Given that we live in a leasehold property he did not keep his seaches solely to the confines of our flat. He was also happy to look around the outside of the building, give sound advise and info allowing us to take this matter up further with the freeholder. If I have any further issues, I would not even consider shopping around, I would go straight to Lee from PestControl.co.uk to help resolve our issue.

Home > Bird Control & Proofing > Bird Spikes

Bird Spikes

Bird spikes are one of the more traditional bird deterrents, and are particularly effective for areas with heavy infestations of urban birds such as seagulls or pigeons. They are not designed to hurt the birds, instead they make it very difficult to perch on a surface so that birds will not even attempt it.

Bird Deterrents

Bird spikes may look dangerous, but they are only a deterrent. If a bird were to actually try to land on a ledge protected by the spikes it may well get hurt, however this is just as obvious to the birds as it is to us so they do not even try.

Simply using a deterrent is not a typical pest control technique, but it is the only practical approach when it comes to dealing with birds. With normal kinds of pests such as rats or cockroaches, their habitat will be constrained largely to just your property. This means that to get rid of them it is simply necessary to eradicate the infestation and remove the conditions which led to the infestation in the first place.

Of course this is not a suitable approach when it comes to birds because they are very mobile, so even if you get rid of one nest on your property for instance, another bird can just as easily come and nest or perch there again.

That is, unless you are making use of a bird deterrent.

Bird Spikes

Made of either plastic or stainless steel, bird spikes are one of the most commonly seen bird deterrents.

All of the bird deterrents offered by PestControl.co.uk have their own specific advantages. These are the main ones for bird spikes:

Heavy Infestation. Since bird spikes create a physical barrier for birds perching on ledges, with angled wires for increased effectiveness, they are most often used in areas with a heavy infestation of birds such as pigeons or seagulls.
Versatile. Bird spikes can come either in a single row, ideal for narrow ledges, or in multiple rows for a deeper protection. Also, since they are normally applied with a neutral silicon adhesive there is no need to penetrate the building in order to install them.
