Pigeon and Herring Gull Management in Dublin City

Pest birds such as Pigeons and Herring Gulls are a nuisance pest for both home and business owners. We at Central Pest Control have experienced an increase in calls from the public regarding aggressive Pest Birds causing nuisance. They will deface your property with their droppings, cause damage to your property from their nests, spread diseases and create on unclean image to the building they have decided to nest on. Pest Birds have adapted to urban environments very well, causing conflict for many businesses especially in Dublin City Centre.

Did you know?

Ireland receives Seagull warning as ‘extremely aggressive’ birds could ‘spread infection’.

How Dublin City Centre provides ideal nesting ground for Pigeons and Seagulls.

• Tall Buildings – Dublin City is full of tall buildings which creates familiarity for Pest Birds as they mimic cliff tops where birds such as Gulls would nest.
• Nesting Areas – These birds will roost in areas above ground and will easily nest in steeples and roof voids.
• Waste – Urban areas offer Pigeons and Seagulls easy access to food waste from bars and restaurant all over the city.
• Feeding – The public like to feed birds such as pigeons in parks around the city.

Bird Management requires a service provided by a Professional Pest Control team. Unlike most pests, birds have legislative protection under the Wildlife Act 1976 unless it can be provided that their presence is detrimental in some way. Such as:

• In the interest of public health and safety.
• In the interest of air safety.
• To prevent serious damage to crops, flora, fauna, and water.

Breaching this legislation by an unprofessional that does not specialise in Bird Management Solutions and Control can result in prosecution and a hefty fine if you are found guilty.
