With over five decades of experience, our bird proofing specialists at Force 10 Pest Control offer a variety of services that deter birds of many types, including pigeons, seagulls, starlings, and more. Whether your property in Hove needs guano removal, pigeon spike installation, bird netting installation, or general seagull proofing, our expert team have the tools to keep birds away from your property. Our equipment and installations may vary based on the type of bird we’re deterring; larger and more aggressive birds, such as seagulls, require heavy-duty alternatives compared to smaller birds like sparrows and starlings.

At Force 10 Pest Control, our bird proofing experts offer a range of tailored solutions addressing different bird infestations, which pose various challenges and require different tools for your property in Hove and the surrounding areas.
Pigeon spike installations use shorter, more closely spaced spikes, which are suitable for areas where pigeons frequently perch, such as ledges and signage. Alternatively, seagulls require extra-long, heavy-duty spikes which are designed to withstand the larger size and aggressive landing behaviours of gulls. Our bird proofing specialists usually install these around chimneys and dormers, where seagulls frequently perch and nest.
The larger size and weight of seagulls requires the use of reinforced netting (75mm x 75mm) to support their weight, especially as they often travel in larger flocks. Pigeon netting, and netting for smaller birds, such as sparrows and starlings, needs finer mesh because the birds can slip through larger holes.
Guano removal varies by bird species, as seagull guano can be more challenging to remove due to its higher quantities of droppings and increased acidity, which enhances bonding to metallic surfaces. Seagulls defecate in large, open areas, such as rooftops, requiring extensive cleaning. Our bird control experts use heavy-duty tools, disposable coveralls, heavy-duty rubber gloves, protective goggles, face shields, and FFP3 or P100 respirators.
Seagull distress call systems are audio deterrents that emit alarms or predator sounds to disrupt and deter seagulls in the area, preventing nesting. Unlike pigeon deterrent systems, we tailor the installations to gulls' social behaviours, making them most effective in rooftop and coastal environments where visual deterrents are less effective.
Our bird control experts offer a range of bird proofing solutions effective against various bird species. Whether you're dealing with sparrows, starlings, or larger pigeons and gulls, our range of nets, spikes, audio deterrents, and guano cleaning options are tailored to solve your specific issue.
