Effective Bird Control & Deterrent Solutions

Bird Spikes

This is the most cost effective way of keeping of ledges and beams. The spikes is long lasting. It prevents birds from perching 100% in areas of installation.

We a clear carbon bird spike that won’t rust and birds won’t impale themselves on it. We also have different coloured spikes.

Bird Netting

Bird netting is one of the most versatile solutions for bird control, providing a discreet yet effective barrier against all types of nuisance birds without inflicting harm on the birds themselves. Bird netting offers you a permanent way to stop bird droppings from damaging your valuable property. The black color of the netting blends into the background, providing a robust but unobtrusive defense against pest birds.

Gutter cones – Closing of the Gutters and openings

Closing of all the gutters with our gutter cones system. This system does not interfere with the flow of water but just prevents the birds from getting into the gutters and then having access under the roof. No access to the gutters, No birds in the roof

Bird Shock Tracks

These units use electricity. The power box is 45cm x 50cm x 50cm. The tracks inter connect. These units are smaller than bird spikes and you need 2 tracks in the same space as a 1 strip of bird spikes. These units are far more expensive than bird spikes but are far less visible.

Sound Systems

These units can be used on their own or with the eagle eye units. They help reduce the amount of birds by up to 85%. It is still advice to use spikes or close the areas were birds are sitting or roosting. These units use sonic sounds and must be connected to power. Electrical installation is for the customers cost.

Eagle Eye™

The Eagle Eye™ bird scarer is an effective bird deterrent device that harmlessly relocates birds. Birds are irritated by reflected light beams that flash at various angles from a rotating Eagle Eye™ unit. The system has been extensively tested and used on hundreds of locations in South Africa as well as Internationally.

These units will help reduce the amount of birds by up to 85%.

Eagle Eyes have been used extensively in South Africa and are the original home of Eagle Eye having been developed and tested. Extensive trials and now commercial use has been very successful in a wide variety of commercial and cropping situations. South African success stories have been included on this site to give access to information on this exiting product range.

Bird Removal & Treating for Bird Lice

We will remove all nests and birds possible from the roof. We will then treat the roof and the whole home or building for bird lice. We also do netting, spikes, flax and sound systems and cleaning areas of bird droppings.

Birds, business and homes do not mix

Their droppings carry diseases, cause damage to property and are a hazard that may cause slipping and falling. They carry lice that move into home and business. Some of the diseases carried by pigeons and other birds, such as seagulls could make you seriously ill. It is important to act at the first sign of a bird infestation to avoid these associated health hazards.

Salmonella

This bacterium is deposited where pigeons or gulls defecate. It can lead to Salmonellosis and Paratyphoid fever.

Psittacosis

Also called Ornithosis or Pigeon Fancier’s Lung. This infection can be transmitted by inhaling the bacteria from dried droppings or handling feathers of infected pigeons or seagulls

Fowl pest

Known also as Fowl Plague or Newcastle disease. This virus can be transmitted to people when they’re exposed to faeces and other excretions from infected pigeon birds.

Escherichia coli (E.Coli)

Mainly spread by seagulls, it can lead to illnesses such as gastroenteritis and septicaemia.

Fungal infections

Include Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis and are carried within bird droppings from seagulls.

Bird mites

Often found in nests and roosting places. They feed mainly on bird blood but will also bite humans.

Common Bird Pests

Feral Pigeon (Columia livia)

The Feral pigeon is a wide spread, common urban pest bird. They have short legs with level front and hind toes, which enable them to walk on flat surfaces as well as perch on branches.

Habitat

Mostly found in urban or suburban areas

Especially centre of larger cities and railway yards (rarely farmland)

Prefer small flat areas away from the ground like protected ledges and rooftops.

Popular nesting places includes: building ledges, bridge supports, air conditioning units and above windows.

Breeding

Mating pair has 3-4 broods per year

Female lays 2-3 eggs at a time

Eggs take 18 days to hatch

Fledglings leave nest after 35 days

Although they mostly build simple nests from a few stiff twigs, some will lay eggs directly on a protected ledge.

They like to make nests in and on manmade structures

Damage

Uric acids in feces are highly corrosive: Feces cause damage to waterproofing of roofs causing leaks; feces damage paint work of automobiles with regular/long contact; feces also damage air conditioning units and solar panels.

Built up feces can lead to structural damage and blocked gutters.

Degrading the aesthetics of potentially neat and beautiful buildings.

Pigeons may cause a health risk when HACP standards are not met by food processing companies as a result of birds entering factories and warehouses: bird droppings damage and infest raw materials, products in process and finished goods

Nests near electrical points/lines or in chimneys are a great fire hazard.

Bacteria, fungal agents and ectoparasites in droppings may be a health risk.

Control Using Eagle Eye

The Eagle Eye is a very effective feral pigeon deterrent. It will deter a large number of roosting and nesting birds from buildings as well as open spaces. The feral pigeon is very sensitive to the Eagle Eye.

Hartlaub’s Gull (Larushartlaubii)

The Hartlaub’s Gull is an indigenous tame sea bird, increasing in numbers. They often hang around gardens, parks and restaurants for scraps. They also follow fishing vessels looking for scraps, or follow ploughs looking for soil invertebrates. Those in urban areas will catch insects at street lights at night. Roosts on roofs, hedges or islands.

Habitat

Seashores, offshore islands, city centres, rubbish dumps, cultivated farmland and estuaries.

Search human inhabitations like parks and restaurants for scraps of food.

Breeding

Roosts on rooftops, ledges and islands.

Nest made of twigs and shells

Cultch: 1-3 (in some cases up to 5-8)

Damage

Degrading the aesthetics of potentially neat and beautiful buildings.

May cause a health risk when HACP standards are not met by food processing companies as a result of birds entering factories and warehouses: bird droppings damage and infest raw materials, products in process and finished goods

Nests near electrical points/lines or in chimneys are a great fire hazard.

Bacteria, fungal agents and ectoparasites in droppings may be a health risk.

When they move in flocks the buildup of their feces has a great impact on buildings

Often dive down, grabbing fisherman’s fish or scraps of food from people

Control Using Eagle Eye

Roosting gulls are easily deterred with the Eagle Eye. Nesting gulls are more reluctant to leave. Their instinct for food is greater than their fear for the Eagle Eye and therefore all food sources must be removed.
