Persistent bird activity can cause mess, damage, and disruption. We install proven bird deterrent systems designed to prevent perching and nesting, encouraging birds to relocate naturally. Our bird control services protect homes and businesses with effective, long-term solutions.
Whether your bird problem is gulls, pigeons, or other wild birds, our experts are ready to help.
Our bird control experts know what attracts birds to properties and how to change their behaviour. Once they have assessed the issue, they will advise you on suitable deterrents and provide a fixed-price installation estimate.
Our bird control solutions include:
Bird netting is an extremely effective way to block pigeons and other birds from accessing areas and preventing them from landing.
Whether it’s the balcony of a residential flat or the roof space of a commercial property where air conditioning and solar panels need protecting, we can help.
Bird spikes are a physical deterrent because they do not provide a stable landing surface and trigger natural avoidance behaviour in birds.
They work best when installed along narrow spaces such as drainage pipes, gutters, and window sills. They can prevent blocked gutters caused by droppings and nesting material.
Pin-and-wire systems effectively exploit how birds land and transfer their weight to balance. They will always search for a stable footing.
These systems are often preferred over spikes because they are visually more appealing and ideal for parts of a building that require easy access for painting and cleaning.
Wild birds, including pigeons, often find shelter and nesting sites beneath solar panels installed on roofs. Wire mesh installed correctly prevents this.
Our roofers provide support to our pest controller with access that complies with health and safety requirements. They also provide solar panel cleaning services.
Micheal attended my property and advised on the best approach to eliminate an issue with rodents. He co ordinated the pest-proofing work with Connor who was working on the drains. Micheal was informative and professional and followed up with a phone call the following day to ensure no further issue had occurred.

The communication from the company was excellent from the start and the member of their team who visited my house to resolve our rodent problem reassured me hugely and I found him to be someone who I immediately trusted.

Aspect provided an excellent, prompt and professional service. Mike was very helpful and reassuring, he explained everything about the process and was available for questions over the phone between visits. He is clearly very experienced and was able to offer a lot of useful advice and information. Would definitely recommend him to friends.

What scents or sprays will keep birds away?
Scents or sprays will not reliably deter birds. Sprays that emit scents will only last a short time outdoors and do not last long enough to change bird behaviour.
Birds, including pigeons, do not respond to smells in the same way that mammals do. Even if spray products are used regularly, birds soon become used to them and are not deterred. Wind and rain quickly disperse scents used to deter birds outdoors.
In addition, strong instincts such as nesting and feeding override any discomfort a spray or scent deterrent might cause.
Why are pigeons so hard to get rid of?
Pigeons quickly develop a strong attachment to good nesting, roosting, and feeding sites and will persist staying in an area that provides them. This is what can make them seem difficult to get rid of.
Adult pigeons will return to nest sites they have used previously. They also get used to people being around, visual decoys, and noise deterrents.
What is the most effective pigeon scarer?
Our pest controllers cannot recommend visual or audio scarers as long-term deterrents for pigeons. They quickly become used to scarers when nesting, roosting, and feeding instincts are strong.
Visual and audio bird scarers may work for a short amount of time. However, physical deterrents are almost always needed to break a pigeon’s attachment to a building. Physical deterrents deny access to a building and prevent places where pigeons can safely land.

In addition to bird control services, we provide specialist cleaning of bird droppings, old bird nests, and nesting materials that often accumulate where they regularly perch or roost.
Bird waste and pigeon droppings can harbour pathogens, including:
Dried bird waste often causes dust particles to become airborne and easily inhaled. For this reason, professional cleaning with protective clothing is strongly recommended.
Our bird waste cleaning services are charged in half-hour increments, starting at £42.75 + VAT, with a 1-hour minimum. Check our competitive rates for your postcode.
