Expert Bird Control Services Throughout Edinburgh
When you think of pest birds, it’s easy to imagine the obvious candidates, such as pigeons and seagulls. However, even smaller birds, such as starlings and sparrows, can cause issues for your home or business if they decide to lay their nests on your property.
That’s because birds can be incredibly noisy and cause a health hazard due to the presence of their droppings, also known as guano. Bird droppings can be dangerous when they dry and become airborne, spreading diseases to humans, including Histoplasmosis, Psittacosis and Salmonella.
Pest birds can also carry parasites such as ticks, bird mites and fleas, which can spread to humans, pets and livestock. In many cases, birds cause damage to properties where they roost, as guano is highly corrosive and many larger birds, such as pigeons, can knock off roof tiles, aerials and other parts of your roof space.
Edinburgh Environmental Services understands the issues surrounding pest birds, which is why we offer expert bird control for buildings of all types and sizes. From keeping your solar panels safe from nesting birds to stopping seagulls from damaging your roof, we can assist with any kind of bird control problem with pigeon spikes, bird netting and other deterrents.

How EES Protects Your Property From Nuisance Birds
There are many bird proofing solutions on the market, all designed to deter birds and stop them from sitting on your home or business building. These are the bird control solutions we use most and why they work.
Bird Netting
Bird netting is possibly the most common bird control solution we offer because it can be used on almost any site and is effective most of the time.
Bird netting is a thick mesh that protects your roof space or the underside of your solar panels from nesting birds.
When installed by professional bird control experts like us, bird netting can last for many years and provide complete protection from roosting birds.
Bird Spikes
Pigeon spikes are metal spikes used to discreetly make ledges on the exterior of your property inhospitable to birds.
While they won’t harm birds, bird spikes make it difficult for them to get comfortable when perching on your roof. Birds have great memories, so they will seek shelter elsewhere and remember the presence of the spikes.
When fitted correctly, bird spikes can last for many years and reduce the chances of birds sitting on your building.
Bird Roosting Deterrents
To stop birds from roosting on roofs, window sills and other ledges on commercial buildings, we provide bird control solutions such as bird free ‘fire’ gel.
The gel is completely safe and humane, as it is designed to make the birds think that the surfaces they’re landing on are on fire.
We also use post and wire systems to create an unstable surface and deter birds from your property.
Other services we can provide include bird dropping cleaning to protect your facade from corrosive guano and controlled shooting, if necessary. These solutions are provided to the highest standards and in accordance with all relevant laws. Our focus is on protecting your property and reducing the chances of future bird problems.

Keep Pest Birds Away With Edinburgh Environmental Services
EES provides efficient bird pest control for homeowners and business leaders throughout Edinburgh. Our team undertakes large jobs, such as bird proofing banks and other large business premises in the city centre, as well as domestic bird control work to prevent pigeons or gulls from nesting under your solar panels.
Whatever service you need, or species of bird you’re dealing with, EES is committed to offering you expert bird control that works. We can take on any project and have a high success rate thanks to our experience and the quality of our bird proofing solutions.
Using the latest bird control technologies and techniques, combined with our extensive knowledge of avian behaviour, we are able to ensure that birds leave your property and don’t return. Birds are creatures of habit, so once they realise that an area is uninhabitable, they will move on. With our range of top-quality bird deterrents, we can restrict access to roofs for birds and encourage them to look elsewhere for shelter.
In some cases, we offer controlled shooting to reduce the local bird population, but this is done in accordance with the law and only if absolutely necessary. Once the birds are removed, we can carry out bird dropping cleaning to ensure the guano is gone before we secure the site and protect it from future bird infestations.
If you’re ready to get rid of nesting birds and stop them from causing a disturbance on your property, call 0131 560 6441 to book your bird pest control survey.
