Bird Proofing
Bird proofing is the most effective and permanent way to prevent nuisance birds from accessing buildings or sensitive areas. By physically excluding birds from roosting and nesting locations, long-term control can be achieved without the need for continual reactive measures.
Lancashire Bird Control provides a comprehensive range of bird proofing solutions, including standard systems and bespoke installations designed to suit individual site requirements. All proofing systems are recommended, designed and installed by our own experienced bird control specialists, ensuring solutions are effective, durable, visually appropriate and within budget.
Many sites require a combination of proofing measures to achieve the best overall result. Following a detailed site survey, we select the most suitable systems available from across the market, choosing products based on performance rather than manufacturer. All installations are carried out by fully trained technicians, with specialist support used where required.
Netting Systems
Bird netting is one of the most reliable proofing solutions available and, when correctly installed, provides complete exclusion from the protected area. Netting is commonly used on roofs, courtyards, loading bays, plant areas and building elevations.
A range of netting options is available, including discreet finishes such as stone-coloured, translucent and fire-retardant systems. Correct specification is essential, as net size and material must match the target species—incorrect netting can worsen the problem rather than resolve it. Our experienced surveyors ensure the correct system is specified and professionally installed for long-term protection.
Anti-Bird Spikes
Anti-bird spikes provide an effective and humane solution for preventing birds from landing, roosting or nesting on ledges, beams, pipes and rooflines. They are most suitable for pigeons and gulls in areas of low to medium bird pressure.
Different spike designs and heights are selected depending on the species and surface being protected. Systems can be installed on a wide range of surfaces, including stone, metal, cladding, gutters and window ledges.
All spike systems are manufactured using heavy-duty stainless steel with UV-stabilised bases and are designed to prevent injury to birds while providing long-term protection.
Anti-Bird Wire Systems
Bird wire systems are a discreet and flexible anti-perching solution, particularly effective on ledges, windowsills and architectural features. They are most suitable for sites experiencing low to medium bird pressure and offer a cost-effective alternative to other proofing methods.
Correct design and installation are critical, as persistent birds may overcome poorly installed systems. Our surveyors will only recommend bird wire where it is appropriate for the site, and installations are carried out using corrosion-resistant stainless-steel components.
Bird wire can also be used for gull control where specific anti-gull components are incorporated.
Optical, Electrical & Deterrent Systems
In certain situations, additional deterrent systems may be used alongside physical proofing to enhance effectiveness or provide protection where traditional methods are unsuitable.
These may include optical gel systems that create a visual disturbance visible to birds, discreet electrical deterrent systems such as AVISHOCK™ for architecturally sensitive or high-value buildings, and audio or visual deterrents used as supplementary measures.
All deterrent systems are carefully assessed to ensure they are suitable for the site, species and level of bird activity, and are used as part of a wider bird management strategy rather than as standalone solutions.
A Tailored, Site-Specific Approach
No two sites are the same. Effective bird proofing depends on understanding bird behaviour, selecting the correct systems and ensuring professional installation. That is why all bird proofing works begin with a detailed site survey and clear, practical recommendations.
Our aim is to deliver long-term, compliant and visually appropriate bird proofing solutions that protect buildings, staff, visitors and operations.
