Bird Spikes: Pigeon Control

THE PROBLEM

Birds such as pigeons and gulls are known to pose a variety of issues for buildings, including damage to property, health hazards from droppings, and aesthetic concerns. In this case, the new build project in London faced the risk of bird infestation, which could potentially compromise the integrity of the structure and create an unsanitary environment for occupants and visitors.

THE SOLUTION

Contego's Southern Division proposed the installation of rows of bird spikes across the building as an effective solution to deter birds from perching and roosting on the structure. Bird spikes are a humane and non-lethal method of bird control, designed to create an uncomfortable surface for birds, preventing them from landing and nesting.

THE IMPLEMENTATION

Site Assessment: Contego's team conducted a comprehensive site assessment to identify key areas where birds were likely to perch and roost on the building. This assessment informed the strategic placement of bird spikes to maximise effectiveness.

Customised Installation: Utilising specialised equipment and techniques, Contego's technicians expertly installed rows of bird spikes along ledges, window sills, rooftop perimeters, and other vulnerable areas susceptible to bird activity.

Professional Installation: With meticulous attention to detail, Contego's technicians ensured that the bird spikes were securely attached to the building surface, providing a long-lasting and reliable deterrent against bird infestation.

Post-Installation Evaluation: Following the installation of bird spikes, Contego conducted a thorough evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the deterrent measures and make any necessary adjustments to optimise performance.

THE RESULT

The installation of bird spikes proved to be highly effective in deterring pigeons and gulls from perching and roosting on the new build project in London. By creating an inhospitable environment for birds, Contego helped to protect the integrity of the building, preserve its aesthetics, and mitigate potential health and safety risks associated with bird infestation.

Contego's Southern Division demonstrated its expertise in bird control by successfully implementing a tailored solution to address the risk of bird infestation at the new build project in London. Through the strategic installation of bird spikes, Contego provided the client with a cost-effective and humane method of bird control, ensuring the long-term protection of the building and the satisfaction of its occupants.
