Bird Control With Birds of Prey
Bird Control Using Birds of Prey
In some open or difficult-to-proof locations, managed flights by trained birds of prey can encourage nuisance birds to regard a site as unsafe. PreventaPest considers this form of pest control as one possible part of a wider bird-management plan; it is not suitable for every property or every bird problem.
Where falconry-based deterrence may help
This approach may be considered for large outdoor sites and locations where conventional proofing is impractical. Examples can include industrial land, agricultural sites and other open areas. It may also support a planned programme before physical bird-proofing is installed.
The aim is to change the behaviour of nuisance birds through repeated, controlled visits. Results depend on the species present, nearby food and nesting opportunities, the layout of the site and whether the programme can be maintained for long enough.
Survey before recommendation
PreventaPest begins with a site survey. We assess the bird species, how the site is being used, the source of food or shelter and any restrictions affecting the work. Bird control must also take account of wildlife law, animal welfare and the safety of people using the site.
Where birds of prey are not the right option, we may recommend proofing, habitat management, improved waste control or another lawful pest control method. A combination of measures is often more appropriate than relying on a single deterrent.
Arrange a bird-control survey
Contact PreventaPest to discuss nuisance-bird activity at a commercial, industrial or agricultural site in South Wales. We will assess the location before recommending whether falconry-based deterrence or another bird-control method is suitable.
