Seagull Deterrents

Seagulls are aggressive in nature and cause a regular nuisance in coastal cities and, in more recent years, in inland regions. Large amounts of their bird droppings can result in structural damage, blocked gutters and water ingres. The gull's physical size and agressive nature, especially at times of nesting can also lead to attacks on the general public and employees.

Seagulls will roost on the highest points of a roof usually the ridge, chimneys or along the highest flat roof or parapet wall. If you are able to prevent seagulls from landing on these areas they will often leave the property completely. Seagulls are at their noisiest during the nesting season which is April to July. The eggs are usually laid in April or May. The young gulls will hatch approximately 4 weeks later and finally leave the nest after another 5-6 weeks.

Once installed, our seagull deterrents will create savings on cleaning and maintenance bills whilst still giving safe access to your staff and clients will be delighted by the reduction in fouling, noise nuisance and aggressive behaviour from gulls on your premises.

A number of alternative proofing systems in addition to the three most popular solutions of Birdnet, Birdspike and Birdwire systems are available to solve your seagull problem.

Gullwire is an ingenious seagull control system, preventing gulls from landing without entangling them, yet retaining easy access for maintenance staff. The system consists of parallel wires that are installed above the building surface at widths just below the wing span of the gulls, thereby preventing the birds from landing  on the area below whilst still allowing the building occupier access for maintenance purposes.

Daddi Long Legs is a removable patented seagull control system to protect those areas that require regular access for maintenance or usage. The system has a freely rotating head with long stainless steel wires that bounce in the wind or when birds contact it. This not only irritates the bird but interferes with their attempts to land or take off.

It is easily detachable and reusable, ideal for the boating and marine industry or to protect temporary structures. They can be used on any flat surfaces that require a lot of coverage to keep pest birds away.  Ideal for use on AC units, rooftops, boats, posts and other flat surfaces
