Seagull Control

Seagull populations are extremely successful in urban environments and nuisance populations of Lesser Black Backed and Herring Gulls continue to grow in urban areas. A combination of factors work in their favour. Food waste provides an excellent food source and buildings provide safe nesting environments away from their natural predators. Gulls lay their eggs in April and May and usually have clutch of three eggs. The incubation period of the egg is about 28-30 days. Young gulls usually leave the nest after about 6 weeks and will stay close to the nest until August. Gulls can become aggressive after their eggs have hatched as they protect their young.

Seagull Deterrent Systems

• Gull Deterrent Netting
  Used where gulls persistently roost or nest.
  Installation of a taut wire frame work onto which a purpose made bird net is attached. The net creates an impenetrable barrier against the pest birds.
• Seagull Points
  Effective to protect ledges and pipe work.
  A system of stainless steel points held in a UV stabilised polycarbonate base. The points are attached to the ledges using silicone adhesive.
• Gull Sprung Pin and Wire
  For use where gulls occasionally roost.
  Stainless steel pins are drilled into the brick work, onto these sprung wires are attached. The sprung wires are set up in multiple rows across the ledge.
