FEATURE PEST CONTROL FLY CONTROL Fly Control units – a wide range offered or services from glue board to electric grid machines. Discreet small units for desks and catering areas or areas in public view. The use of shatterproof tubes is recommended for these. Fly Screens & Doors – again a wide range supplied and fitted from fixed screens on windows to two-way swing fire doors meeting all regulations. Advice on areas where flies are active and probable causes. BIRDS Proofing – using mesh, bird point (spikes,) gels (fire gel and chilli gel), electronic shock tracks, netting, pin and wire systems and bespoke roof net designs. Natural Deterrents – audio carers, visual scarers & hawking (generally this is more for Gulls rather than Pigeons unless used consistently), also egg and nest removals. Population control methods – shooting & trapping (in areas where there are large populations, aviary style traps may be more effective). All companies should only work within the law and current legislation in guidance with the relevant regional agencies for the UK (Natural England, Scottish Natural Heritage, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), Northern Ireland Environment Agency). The licence changes at the beginning of every year.
