Around Woodthorpe Park, pigeons use the open green space by day and nearby rooftops by night. We deal with the roof edges, porches and garage tops they favour.
Houses beside open green space often have pigeons passing through all day, and the birds use rooftops to rest in between. In a neighbourhood of semis the pattern is usually the same: ridge tiles, chimney pots, porch roofs and garage tops. We watch for where droppings gather as the clearest clue to where proofing should go. Mornings and evenings are when birds commonly settle, so droppings seen first thing often point to an overnight roost.
Sometimes it only takes small deterrents on a few favoured perches. In other cases, birds are entering gaps under eaves and need a more thorough fix. Our methods are lawful and humane, as wild birds are protected. Free advice on cleaning and prevention comes with the survey, and quotes are fixed so you know the cost before committing. The park brings people feeding birds, and while we cannot control that, it explains why numbers can stay high.
Look for clusters of droppings on roofs, walls, windowsills or the ground below. Early morning and evening are when birds tend to settle. A survey can confirm the main roost points. Many jobs are completed in a single visit, though larger buildings may need more time.
Sometimes. If birds are only using a ledge or chimney as a perch, a small fix may do. If they are entering a gap or nesting, a stronger physical barrier is usually needed. If you have a garage with an up-and-over door, check the gap along the top, as birds may be getting in.
No. Proofing is designed to stop birds landing or nesting, and the methods used must be lawful.

When the evenings turn cold, the rats that have been living outside look for somewhere warmer. A semi next to a park can look very inviting indeed.
Read the advice →A cockroach in a family semi comes as a shock, and the first reaction is often embarrassment. They are far more often carried in than invited.
