Greatest Effectiveness

The first essential in proofing has to be the greatest all-round protection against the bird problems identified.

With nets it is crucial to select both the right mesh size and sufficient strength for the job. Nets also need to be tough wearing and securely fastened to masonry along all edges with appropriate fixings. This ensures they continue to remain taut at a sufficient distance from all building surfaces and without gaps to allow access or loose sections where birds could get caught.

Spikes must be carefully selected to suit the species of bird and level of infestation. Longer spikes are required for gull proofing and a greater density of spikes for heavier infestations. It is also important that spikes are appropriate for the width of ledge involved, positioned correctly, and secured effectively with appropriate adhesive or clips.

In contrast, electric systems need to be effective against all bird species. At the same time they should deliver a pulse high enough to deter without causing harm or fright, be impossible to circumvent with experience, and remain operational in all weathers. They must also be as resistant as possible to damage or shorting-out from debris, securely fastened and powered by reliable and weatherproof charging units.

The correct specification of system is equally essential with bird wire, longer posts and thicker wires being vital with gulls. Multiple rows of wire will be needed for wider ledges, with the distance between rows and correct tensioning both keys to their effectiveness.
