In a busy port town, Dover's harbour, seafront and town centre give gulls and pigeons plenty of places to roost. JR Bird Management provides bird control in Dover for households, landlords and businesses, from a single terraced house to a unit on an industrial estate.
Dover's port, seafront and clifftop homes face the full force of the Channel weather. We work across the town and the surrounding area, including Deal, Walmer, River, Whitfield and St Margaret's at Cliffe, as well as the rest of Kent.
Clifftop houses in Dover and along towards St Margaret's take the brunt of the wind, so anything fitted there has to cope with a winter gale. Down by the harbour, the mix of offices, warehouses and flats means pigeons and gulls are never short of a sheltered ledge.
Herring gulls nest on rooftops all around the harbour and town centre, and they can be noisy and messy from spring through to late summer. Seagull spike installation in Dover stops them landing on chimney stacks, ridges and parapet walls.
We use heavy-duty spikes made for gulls, fixed securely so they hold up in strong coastal winds.
Anything fitted on this coast has to survive salt spray and gales. Our bird proofing in Dover is fixed with that in mind, whether it is a sea-facing parapet on a house or the plant deck on top of a commercial building.
Covered spaces such as loading bays, canopies and open stairwells are where birds shelter from the wind, and bird netting shuts them out completely. Our bird netting installation in Dover keeps the net taut against the frame, so it stays effective on the windiest days.
Winter storms take a toll on netting. A torn panel or a corner that has pulled free is all a pigeon needs, so we repair bird netting in Dover by patching or swapping out the damaged section and renewing worn fixings until the net is complete again.
Older buildings near the seafront and in the town centre have deep ledges that pigeons love. Our ledge protection in Dover keeps them clear, and we choose a method to suit how visible the ledge is from the street.
Shop signs, window sills and the ledges above shopfronts are favourite perches in the town centre, and the mess ends up on the pavement and the customers below. Pigeon spikes are a simple, humane fix that can be fitted to almost any narrow surface.
The port, the ferry terminals and the warehouses and lorry parks that serve them make Dover a working town. Big steel-framed buildings near the docks give pigeons high, sheltered roosts above loading areas, and droppings on stock, vehicles and walkways are a hygiene and safety problem. Netting across the roof space, with spikes on the beams and ledges, keeps birds out of working areas.
Pigeons nesting under solar panels can damage cables and leave droppings that reduce how much electricity the panels produce. Our solar panel bird protection in Dover fits mesh around the edges of the panels to keep birds out, without stopping the system from working.
We begin with a free survey and explain what will work before any job is booked.
