Post & Wire SystemAll the fixtures and fittings required to undertake a tailor-made post and wire pigeon wire installation are available as separate items and normally One of the problems with feral pigeons is that they can affect the way your property looks. If it’s your home, you want it to look nice for your own enjoyment and comfort, but if you own a business, an out-of-control pigeon problem can turn customers away, especially if their droppings are taking over and making your property look dirty or uncared for.

If a baton framework is to be used then the baton will have to be cut to form a frame that will fit comfortably onto the flat fascia of the window frame. The baton frame should then be offered up to the window frame and installed by drilling into the mortar joints and inserting a Rawlplug and screw. The frame should only require 3 or 4 screws to complete the installation as the frame will be supporting little weight. Once the baton is in situ, and it has been treated with a preservative or painted, the mesh can be stapled directly onto the baton. This completes the installation.on Dormer Window It is these areas directly beneath the overhang/guttering of the dormer that are the most favoured roosting areas for pigeons. The slope can be constructed from any material but the smoother and more frictionless it is the more effective it will be. A piece of UPVC is ideal as it is light, easy to install and even if provided at a relatively passive angle a pigeon will be unable to perch upon it. Many dormer windows are constructed from UPVC and therefore this material will blend in. UPVC off-cuts can be sourced, normally free of charge, from a company that manufactures UPVC windows. If a material such as plywood is used it will be necessary to provide it at a steeper angle to ensure that the slope is steep enough so that pigeons cannot perch upon it. posts supporting the system would normally be installed into the surface to be protected by drilling. On surfaces such as lead flashing or All the pipework can be easily protected using DIY pigeon deterrent options and these installations are described in the exposed external pipework section of this document. All windows and windowsills can be easily protected using DIY options and these installations are described in the windows and windowsills section of this document. As there are so many different window types, most of which require different products or solutions, we will discuss each window type separately.

Naturally, poo-coated solar panels do not perform as efficiently as their clean counterparts, so there’ll be a steady drop in the amount of energy they’re producing. Bird wire acts as an effective solution for preventing birds like seagulls, crows, and pigeons from landing and causing a nuisance. You will tend to find bird wire being used on the edge of rooftops, window sills, parapets, beams, pipes, balustrades, and they are frequently used to protect historic buildings and stately homes. has been placed under tension, or when a bird lands in the centre of a span of wire, the wire has become detached from the springs rendering the system ineffective. Bird post & wire systems is a low-profile but effective way to stop pigeons or gulls from perching on ledges and other similar locations; which prevents damage to building ledges and facades due to their corrosive droppings. Pigeon and gull systems are different and incompatible, so the installer must identify the dominant pest bird before application.When protecting period properties it is important, at the outset, to confirm whether the property is a listed property and graded as such. In the UK there is a system of grading buildings that are of historical or architectural significance, which, depending on the grade in question, can place comprehensive restrictions on the property owner in relation to what can be done to the property. This would include the provision of pigeon deterrents. Therefore, prior to undertaking any works it is important to confirm whether the property is listed, and if it is speak to the appropriate body (in the UK this would be the Listed Buildings Officer at the local council) to seek advice about what can and cannot be done.

Again, like all other exclusion techniques, ultimately a slide will simply move the bird to another convenient location in your structure. If that is all you need, physical exclusion could be the answer to your pigeon problems. If you need more than what is described here, you may need to consider abatement strategies (such as pigeon birth control) to reduce the bird numbers to an acceptable level. Learn more about pigeon control alternatives: Pigeons are attracted to light wells because they offer seclusion in areas where there is little or no human access. Pigeons use light wells almost exclusively for the purpose of overnight roosting and breeding. Pigeons will breed and roost in several areas within a light well: on windowsills that look into the well, exposed pipework provided within the well and also on the floor of the well, although pigeons will normally only nest on the floor, not roost.There is a DIY pigeon deterrent solution to this problem that will not only protect your guttering from pigeons but also prevent the build up of natural debris such as leaves and twigs, thereby making it a good option whether or not you have pigeons on your property! The principle of this installation is to install a semi-circle (or rough triangle) of Where a system is provided on masonry, and where posts are installed by drilling and fixing, it is essential that the hole into which the post is seated is filled In the town of Solihull, West Midlands, a large Council-owned Victorian building in the town centre was pigeon-proofed with an extensive post and wire pigeon wire system The gel won’t actually trap the birds, but it will make them think twice about perching in an area where the gel has been applied. 5.
