Proofing
is the protection of buildings or structures against birds, by the
installation of physical ‘barriers’. It is humane and
harmless to birds, provided legal systems are used, they are installed
correctly, and they are regularly checked and maintained.
In order to effectively proof, you need to be able to identify the
birds properly and to understand their habits and behaviour.
Parker Pest control has developed the concept of ‘Bird Pressure’
to help assess the most effective proofing system to use.
Light Pressure: Areas that are
occasionally used by the birds.
Medium
Pressure: Areas that are habitually used by the birds during
the day.
Heavy Pressure: Areas
used by the birds for nesting or roosting at night.
It is essential to assess any situation carefully in order to be
able to select an appropriate proofing system. There is a wide choice
of systems and equipment available. Each has different applications,
is generally species specific, and has its own strengths.
