History: Cumberland House, Central London
For several years, other bird control companies had tried to eliminate a problem of pigeons perching along a high level ledge above a long glass facade with little to no success. The pigeons were perching and nesting along this area and bird fouling was staining the glazing below, requiring frequen…
The brief was to prevent feral pigeons from perching on the ledges to the window head above large leaded windows on the ground floor and also to prevent pigeons from perching on the ledges on recently restored windows on the bell tower.

We specified our special order stone coloured Bird Netting to provide a more discreet system and to blend in with the finished painted …

With the high health and hygiene standards and requirements of the hospital, a bespoke bird deterrent programme was put together by our specialist surveyor with recommendations for proofing to eliminate the problems as they developed.
Background: Feral Pigeons cause problems for commercial property
Pigeons were fouling the compound and nesting in the cooler fan blades. There was the potential for fan failure or high speed ejection of fouling, sticks or other material, which could injure the station's workers and cause great damage to the equipment.

Earlier in 2011, Eco Environmental embarked on a new seagull deterrent project in Birmingham. We were asked to remove bird eggs and nests from a heavily populated site as the material deposited by seagulls was causing serious issues for our client.
