I called for a quote prior to booking a pest control service for carpet beetles. Gareth was well-informed, quick and offered a competitive rate. He spent a total of 30 minutes which was super speedy. Bonus points because he was cute.

Stewart was brilliant. Very thorough, very informative and very helpful throughout. Got rid of the rats so no complaints! Tried their new poison and worked fantastic by all accounts. Could be a little cheaper but hey it sorted the problem so we're very happy. Thankyou!

22nd March 2021
An expert and thorough service. However, treatments on the pricey side.

21st March 2021
Had a mole on my back garden. Called in pest Control who analysed the runs set the traps and dispatched one mole.

21st March 2021
Very happy with our experience. The pest controller visited within 24 hours of our initial call. He did a really thorough inspection of both the inside and outside of the house, and gave us a detailed explanation of what he had done and what to expect. Came back, as promised, a week later to check on whether the treatment had been effective or not and plugged up some possible entry points. Friendly, professional and sympathetic. Would definitely use again.

21st March 2021

15th March 2021
100% recommend we used the new food/poison that has been being trialed and it worked fantastic! We ended up with a total of 11 rats removed (still need to check under the floorboards but a very good result so far). Very pleased with the outcome and Stewart was so friendly and provided a lot of helpful advise.

14th March 2021
Brill service

13th March 2021
Great costumer service in a quite unpleasant time. Having had a noise coming from our loft, I called a few numbers for help. One number said we most likely had squirels and that I had to call someone who specialised in that. That's where I called the Pest Control. Quoted price played a main part , though. Gareth came the very next day and at the time that suited around my work. He quickly established, that it was actually mice in our loft. He looked around the house for their entry point, that he blocked, put poison down and after that, it was just a waiting game for when mice got peckish. It took good 4-5 days for all the noise to disappear ... and me, histerically calling Gareth again (on a Sunday!) as I thought they were biting through the ceiling. Gareth was so understanding; explained how the poison worked and we agreed for me to call back in two days if I still heard noises. However, he called to check the next day and came out again (just to save my sanity, really) to top up the poison.

12th March 2021
Professional, friendly & efficient service. Also has an unmarked van which I liked, I didn't want my neighbours to jump to any wrong conclusions so this was important for me. Thank you for your help.

Kept me updated as to time of arrival by mobile. When the two operatives arrived, they practised good social distancing and Covid safe practices. Took time to carefully assess the rodent problem. Very thorough, including visiting my neighbour, and gave clear, helpful advice on steps that needed to be taken, and how to go about them.

10th February 2021
We found Darren an extremely helpful, knowledgeable and efficient person. His friendly manner put us at ease which we appreciated. We have not had a recurrence of the problem since his last visit but would not hesitate to call him again should another problem arise.

7th February 2021
We were really happy with the service! Called the number and within the hour Leon arrived and had removed the nest! He was a really nice guy, super knowledgable, answered our questions and taught us a little bit about wasps which we really appreciated. We then contacted our surveyors who had missed the nest when we bought our house and Leon was all too happy to be contacted, provide evidence and give testimony with his expert opinion. This led to the surveyors accepting responsibility and refunding us for the cost of the removal (which was cheap anyway!). Really couldn't recommend them enough. Great jo

6th February 2021
I found DAvid Lanes extremely helpful in sorting my problem out and would have no hesitation in giving him five stars, efficient,polite and recommended the necessary treatment and helping me deal with the Chairman who has always blamed me for our problem, it wasn’t so the Management had to concede.

Leon from Pest Control is just the greatest! I rang him on 16.12.20, he came out today, 17.12.20 and within 5 minutes of laying and setting the traps he had caught a rat! Fantastic service. He’s thoughtful and considerate and gives good solid advice regarding pest control. Definitely worthy of more than 5 stars. Thank you Leon for your efficient and prompt service.

17th December 2020
Very satisfied with work carried out. Thank you.

17th December 2020
The technical was very thorough dealing with our mouse problem. He put a number of bait trays and bags in our kitchen, lounge and loft. Sure enough when he returned two weeks later the mice were gone. Worth every penny (£164) to have a professional service. Will use them in the future.

14th December 2020
David was great. He came around very quickly and identified the problem immediately. ( I had gaps in the wall into our house that rats were getting through) He told me what to do and put down some bait in the drains to see if they were getting through there too. They were and he came back the day I called him, to put valves on the drain openings. He was calm and competent and made me feel like the rats were something that could be dealt with without fuss. Great.

12th December 2020
Thankyou for a wonderful quick service and for all the advice to get though this situation hope we never get it again but if we did I would not hesitate to call and use them again

12th December 2020
Pleasant man, sorted our rat problem in the loft over a period of 3 weeks. Left some poison behind in the place just in case of future return. Very helpful and tided up afterwards. Always arrived on time. Would use again. Highly recommend!!!

Prompt service and got rid of the wasps in one go. Will use again.

1st December 2020
Although it required a third application, we seem to be completely clear., at this stage. Your brief warns that it may take some time to determine if it has been completely successful, so we are still somewhat apprehensive about that!

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.
