Pigeons, while a common sight in Scotland’s urban and rural landscapes, can quickly turn from a minor nuisance to a significant problem. Their presence can lead to unsightly droppings, structural damage and potential health hazards. When faced with a pigeon infestation, it’s essential to implement effective and responsible control measures. Mitar Enviro provide the pigeon removal Scotland needs for its businesses and residential areas.
Navigating the Legal Landscape
Before undertaking any pigeon removal, it’s vital to understand the legal framework. In Scotland, like the rest of the UK, wild birds are protected under wildlife legislation. Intentionally killing, injuring or disturbing them without a valid license is illegal. Exceptions exist for situations where pigeons pose a direct threat to public health, safety, or agriculture.
Pigeon Removal Scotland with Mitar Enviro
At Mitar Enviro, we understand the delicate balance between addressing pigeon infestations and respecting wildlife laws. Our process is designed to be both effective and ethically sound, adhering strictly to UK wildlife legislation.
- Initial Property Assessment and Legal Compliance: We begin with a comprehensive on-site inspection. This allows us to understand the scale of the pigeon issue and identify the factors contributing to it. Crucially, we also assess the legal implications of any proposed actions, ensuring complete compliance with relevant legislation. We will always prioritise non-lethal methods where possible.
- Strategic Exclusion and Deterrence: Our primary focus is on preventing pigeons from accessing and nesting on your property. We implement tailored exclusion strategies, employing methods like bird netting, spiking, and wire systems.
- Controlled Nest Management (if required): In instances where nesting poses a direct risk to public health or property, we conduct nest removal with meticulous care. This process is handled with sensitivity, especially during breeding seasons, and always within the boundaries of legal guidelines.
- Comprehensive Cleaning and Sanitation: Pigeon droppings and nesting materials pose significant health risks. We provide a thorough cleaning and sanitation service, removing all traces of guano and debris.
- Long-Term Monitoring and Preventative Advice: We don’t just solve the immediate problem; we provide ongoing monitoring and preventative advice to ensure long-term effectiveness.
