Protect Your Property From Pest Birds With Verus Environmental
As much as birds are a natural sight, they can cause harm if they occupy commercial properties, such as flat roofs, balconies, statues, outdoor equipment or farmland. The most significant issue is from bird droppings, which can spread harmful bacteria and diseases. When dried, bird droppings, or guano, can become airborne and the bacteria can travel through air vents into commercial properties.
Additionally, birds can make your business appear unhygienic and dirty. As such, they can cause significant reputational damage for businesses across Bolton. While bird control is mostly carried out for commercial sites as part of commercial pest control services, birds can also be a risk for homes with solar panels, as they often like to nest underneath them.
If you have a bird problem in Bolton, Blackburn, Walkden, Horwich, Worsley, Coppull, Chorley, Atherton and Greater Manchester, Verus Environmental is here for you. Contact us today on 07501639257 to book your site survey.
Expert Bird Control Across Bolton
A Range Of Bird Proofing Solutions For Bolton Properties
The best bird control solutions for each property vary depending on the bird species in the area, the size of the property and the type of structures it has. Verus Environmental can tailor our bird proofing services to your unique needs and offer cutting-edge, high quality products that will keep wild birds at bay.
Bird Netting
Bird netting is a popular bird deterrent that creates a physical barrier between birds and roofs or ledges.
With different size netting, Verus Environmental can ensure that birds are safely kept away from your property with our bird netting installation service.
Bird Spikes
For ledges such as windowsills, rooflines and balconies, bird spikes can be a simple way to deter birds.
While they look scary, these UV-stabilised polycarbonate or high-grade stainless steel spikes won’t harm birds, but will make ledges uncomfortable for them to land or roost on. This makes birds like to leave the area and go elsewhere.
Bird Deterrents
Alongside bird netting and spikes, there are many other bird deterrents available, including Avishock, bird post and wire systems and laser bird scarers.
Verus Environmental can explore the options and come up with a bird control programme that suits your specific site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Bird Species Is The Most Common In Bolton?
Bolton is a diverse landscape that includes the town and urban areas, as well as several Lancashire woodlands, including Dunscar Wood, Horrocks Wood, Ringley Woods and more. There are also several rivers, including the River Croal and the River Tongue, as well as several wetlands, including Seven Acres Local Nature Reserve and Leverhulme Park, in the surrounding area. All of these make an ideal habitat for many bird species. While feral pigeons are common in Bolton, magpies, house sparrows, blackbirds, robins, crows and more. Verus Environmental can protect your property from all these birds and more, so contact us for a bespoke bird control strategy.
Are Wild Birds Protected By The Law In The UK?
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, all wild birds are protected, and it’s illegal to deliberately kill, harm or injure them without a license. It’s also against the law to damage, destroy or move their nests and eggs, which is why bird control measures need to be implemented outside of breeding season. While many birds in the UK can breed all year round, the main breeding season for most birds is between in February and September, so it’s best to get bird proofing done outside of this time.
Are Birds Dangerous To Humans?
Birds can cause significant issues to humans, as they spread diseases through their droppings, including Salmonellosis, Histoplasmosis, Psittacosis and more. Nesting materials can also carry parasites, including bird mites, fleas and ticks. Birds themselves can cause a disturbance, damage crops, disturb livestock and generally be a nuisance for commercial properties across Bolton and Greater Manchester. That’s why professional bird control solutions are essential for sites across the area.
Can You Clean Bird Droppings Yourself?
It is recommended that you don’t clean bird droppings away without specialist protective clothing and the right cleaning materials. Bird droppings carry many diseases and bacteria, and these can become airborne when the guano dries. Verus Environmental can provide bird dropping cleaning to get rid of bird droppings before we implement bird proofing to protect the health and safety of your Bolton business from a bird infestation.
What Is The Best Bird Control Method?
There are many effective solutions for bird control, including bird netting, bird spikes and more. The best option for your site depends on its layout, the type of birds in the area and other factors. For a bespoke bird control programme for your site to get rid of birds for good, contact Verus Environmental and book a site survey.
