Pest birds on your premises can lead to contamination and disease transmission, underscoring the critical need for a comprehensive compliance strategy that includes effective bird control measures.

Having bird proofing solutions in place is crucial to to meet the standards required during risk assessments, particularly if your business is located within an aerodrome radius.
