Very satisfied with the efficient courteous and prompt service provided by Jamie Smith He arrived on time (8.30) at our home in West Yorkshire to deal with a bee problem He was with us for approximately 30 min in which time he explained in detail how he intended to go about remedying our problem and also the type of bee causing the problem Exactly as he suggested the problem around my soffit area had vastly improved within an hour and cleared completely within 48 hours The charge was exactly as quoted and reasonable. Card payment was accepted which made the transaction simple. Therefore I would not hesitate to recommend this company I was also emailed a invoice for the job the same day. First class all in all

3rd July 2021
Friendly and efficient.

28th June 2021
Prompt service which solved the problem, but quite expensive

28th June 2021
I had to call Pest Control out as I had what I thought was a singular mouse in my house. I had tried for a few days to catch it with a trap but without success. Pest Control came out very quickly, laid bait and set traps which resulted in the capture of a mouse within 24 hours. They then returned 10 days later t check and some of the bait had been taken so it proved that although I thought there was only one mouse there must have been more. I cannot recommend this company enough for their speed and professionalism.

27th June 2021
Excellent and speedy service to sort out our squirrel problem.

25th June 2021
Repesentative knowledgable identified problem quickly. Had the right equipment and dealt with the problem cleanly and efficiently Thank you

25th June 2021
Darren was very thorough and helpful in sorting out my rat problems! The only issue I'd have is with price. There are other companies that offer a 2 or 3 call out fixed price. Having now experienced such an issue its obvious that multiple visits will always be required and therefore a discounted price would be more fair. £90 per visit is a lot, especially for the short amount of time the pest controller is actually here.

24th June 2021
I thought they were quick to come out to me. The only problem is they moved all my storage boxes around but never put them back where they were. I went up there this week and it took me a while to tidy up.

23rd June 2021
Quick and efficient service, knowledgable and friendly staff. Minimal disruption to the household during the treatment. All in all a very happy customer M Horn of Oxted

The local pest control operative arrived early, having finished the last customer sooner than expected. Very knowledgeable, had lots of advice and got on with the job. Darren provided different solutions for our infestation. Very happy with the results. He also left online rodent reading material. He returned after 10 days to collect his bait boxes. Very pleased with the service. Thank you Darren.

The service provided was extremely efficient: calls were answered immediately and a pest control operative was able to attend whenever required.

9th June 2021
Looked around for a pest control service to take care of our rat infestation that had been getting worse. Found Pest Controls website and Steve's details, they have good feedback so I made contacted. Ever since I made the enquiry we have been very impressed with his services and recommendations, in a short space of time he has made a massive difference that we have do not have rats nesting within our factory and eating food in our office. He visited our premises a short time after I imitated contact, he carried out a site survey to assess the full extent of the problem, Steve immediately identified what rodent we had, explained clearly where they had been, where they had come in from and how quickly they can multiply. He took several measures to stop and control the infestation, we were given a detailed report explaining the actions he took and why and also informed us what we could do to help eliminate the problem. Very happy with his services and would highly recommend. Ever since his first visit the problem he has made a massive difference that our factory workers do not report any sightings or signs of any rats being within the building and we can now safely store food and drink in our upstairs office cupboards without them be eaten or nibbled on.

21st May 2021
Charlie paid 3 visits, first to understand the problem and lay bait. & days later at my request check what had happened - all the bait had gone. More bait laid then and after a further 7 days further check was made. All bait untouched. Agreed to fitting of wire mesh over air bricks to the house. Haven't seen a mouse since and delighted! Well worth the outlay to sort the problem and recommend Pest Control to anyone.

17th May 2021

16th May 2021
Charlie was fantastic. Very helpful from the first phone call to the final visit. Very understanding and explained very clearly what was possible and what wasn’t. Charlie came the following day and I can’t recommend him enough.

16th May 2021
Darren Weight gave me excellent information about how ants work, how the gel works and how the ants get eliminated on the phone first and how much one treatment would cost, which was not cheap, before I arranged an appointment. The treatment were drops of a poisonous and sticky gel was applied to the skirting board in the bedroom where they appeared. The ants are attracted to this gel, eat it and within a few days, I never saw another ant. I was the first 'ant customer this year, Darren told me! I would thoroughly recommend him to deal with any future, unwanted creatures!

15th May 2021

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.
