Bird pests Control

Bird control or bird abatement involves the methods to eliminate or deter birds from landing, roosting and nesting. Methods of bird control (often called deterrence, dispersal, or hazing) include physical exclusion, visual, auditory, and multi-sensory deterrents, trained dogs or birds of prey (falconry), chemicals, and lethal control. Bird control is frequently used for birds like feral pigeons, blackbirds, geese, and gulls, depending on the area. The most commonly-observed form of bird control may be the bird spikes employed to deter roosting in cities. However, bird control may be desired in several different contexts unrelated to cosmetic concerns in urban areas. Birds are regularly removed or dispersed from airfields to mitigate bird strikes. Avian deterrence is also frequently employed due to crop loss on agricultural fields. In a similar vein, piscivorous birds are frequently controlled on or near aquaculture facilities to mitigate losses. In other contexts, bird control may be used to promote safety for birds, such as deterring them from entering windfarms or from roosting in electrical equipment.
