Bird Proofing
The most common concern with birds is the mess & noise their nesting can make and the damage they can cause your property. They can also destroy fruit trees & vegetable gardens, carry disease and disrupt the local eco-system.
Bird Control or Bird Proofing are the methods used to deter birds from becoming a pest. These methods are used to prevent them from nesting / breeding in unwanted areas and causing damage.
Birds can easily adapt to the most common and easy methods which is why it is important to get the advice of a professional.
The method required for your particular situation can depend on a number of things such as:
- The species of bird
- The location
- The issue it is causing
- Access to the area
BIRD PROOFING METHODS
Electronic Eagle Eye
Bird Spikes
Garden Netting
Bird control is important because pest birds can create health-related problems through their faeces, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. Bird droppings may also cause damage to property and equipment. Birds also frequently steal from crops and fruit orchards.
BIRD PEST TYPES
SEAGULL
Seagulls squawking is very loud and irritating. They are scavengers by nature are quite invasive in their feeding habits. They also contaminate water sources.
MYNA BIRD
Myna birds are a nuisance in urban areas. They are very noisy, make a mess when nesting and they can cause dermatitis & asthma in humans.
PIGEON
Pigeons only need a small amount of space to nest which can cause issues as the droppings are quite acidic. They are also known to attract other pests & carry disease.
APC, today one of your technicians (Mark) attended my house for a termite treatment and a spider spray. I would like to pass on my appreciation for the way he conducted himself and the excellent way he explained what was going on, what he would do and the follow-up advice he provided. I felt he went the extra yards and left me with a very positive feeling for your company, the way you do business and the value for money you provide. I cant remember the last time I wrote a letter/email like this, it is rare to get good service enough to justify comment. Can you pass on my appreciation to Mark. Thanks and I hope we will do business again.
I had pest control maintenance work done on Wednesday 15th January 2015 in Burwood Road, Balcatta and just wanted to say how wonderful the maintenance man was. I’m terrible with names and think he said Mark (my apologies to him if I’m wrong). He was extremely courteous, explained exactly what he was going to do and what he did once complete. I believe you should make time to reward good performance and service and just wanted to let you know that he did a wonderful job.
Just a quick note to say thank you to George, Bob and Craig for looking after me with my new Exterra system. The service was fantastic and everything went without a hitch. I’m glad I chose Advanced Pest Control – Cheers
