Pest Control
Using Birds of Prey for effective pest/bird control
SMJ Falconry can provide a natural form of pest control by using our hawks and falcons to disperse pest species such as gulls and feral pigeons. This method is highly effective, environmentally friendly, natural and public friendly as our birds are there to scare and not kill the pest species. The presence of a hawk or falcon quickly makes an area undesirable and unsafe for pest species.
All of our hawks and falcons are specially trained by ourselves for use in displays, experience days and pest control. Our team of birds are trained and accustomed to urban and industrial environments, and our falconers are experienced at disturbance techniques.
Our birds can be used in urban areas and locations where bird proofing, such as spikes and netting, has not worked or is not a viable option - areas such as: hospitals, housing developments, offices, industrial estates, universities, schools, sports centres, stadiums, golf courses, airports, railway stations and landfill sites.
The droppings of nuisance birds, such as gulls and pigeons, can spread diseases e.g. Ornithosis, E.Coli and Salmonella. Their droppings are extremely hard to clean and cause damage to buildings, vehicles, entrances and pavements, which can become slippery and hazardous. Gulls in particular are extremely noisy, causing disruption to workforce and neighbours - they can also become aggressive during the breeding season and attack people!
At airports birds are a danger to any aircraft taking off and landing. Bird strikes cause thousands of pounds worth of damage every year.
We can provide bird control services for all kinds of areas: domestic, agricultural and industrial units. Each site is different and requires a survey to see what is required.
We can provide a free survey, quotation and demonstration. We are based on the border with West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and Lancashire in the UK.
Netting and Spiking
The use of netting and spiking is extremely effective at keeping pest bird species such as pigeons and seagulls off of buildings and from preventing them from nesting.
