Bird Removal Kent: How Does It Work?

Birds are beautiful creatures, but when they nest or perch in homes and other unwanted areas, they can become a nuisance. Their droppings not only damage property and spread disease but can also block gutters, damage roofs and disturb environments. Bird removal is a humane way to manage these issues, with two of the most effective methods being bird netting and bird spikes. Here’s how these techniques work.

Bird Netting

Bird netting is a protective mesh designed to cover areas where birds are not welcome. The net acts as a physical barrier that prevents birds from entering or nesting in specific places, such as rooftops, balconies, gardens or warehouses. The netting is typically installed over large open spaces, around structures or beneath roofing areas. Once installed, birds are physically unable to enter the covered areas, forcing them to relocate to other locations that do not cause property damage or inconvenience. It is secured using durable clips or hooks so that there will be no gaps for birds to slip through. Bird netting comes in different materials and mesh sizes depending on the type of birds being targeted.

Bird Spikes

Bird spikes are long, needle-like rods typically made from metal or plastic. These spikes can be attached to building ledges, signs, beams or other surfaces where birds are prone to land or nest. The spikes are strategically placed on flat surfaces where birds tend to perch. Bird spikes are often made from stainless steel or UV resistant plastic, making them sturdy and weather resistant.
