Pigeons, gulls and crows are the birds we see most often in towns, on the coast and around industrial sites, and at first sight they look harmless. When they gather in numbers, though, they cause not only mess but also real health and safety problems. Bodrum’s climate and open spaces let these species multiply quickly, which makes bird control an important requirement for businesses and homes alike.
Bodrum Natural Pest uses professional bird deterrent and bird control systems to protect your buildings and the health of your staff and guests. Pigeons, gulls and crows settle on roofs, balconies, storerooms, hotels, restaurants, marinas and shopping centres, where they create serious cleaning and hygiene problems.
Signs of a bird problem and the risks
- Disease risk: these birds can carry pathogens that can pass to people, such as salmonella, E. coli and Histoplasma. Dried droppings and feathers can be inhaled and cause illness.
- Damage to buildings and equipment: while nesting they can lift roof tiles, wear down roof surfaces and block gutters, leading to leaks and costly repairs.
- Mess and damage to your image: droppings soil facades, floors and vehicles, which affects guest satisfaction for businesses.
- Slippery, dangerous floors: a build-up of droppings makes entrances and walkways slippery.
- Parasites: nests host other pests such as fleas, mites and textile pests, leading to secondary infestations.
- Aggressive behaviour: in the breeding season gulls and crows can become aggressive towards guests and staff.
Why you should not deal with them yourself
These birds are hardy and reluctant to leave a place where they have settled. Simple scaring methods usually only work for a short time, and amateur measures can spread the birds over a wider area. Cleaning up bird droppings without the right protective equipment also carries a risk of infection, so bird control should be left to specialists.
How we treat it
We choose the method according to the species, the conditions and how the space is used:
- Bird spikes on roof edges, signs and cornices stop birds landing.
- Nets and netting systems fully protect terraces, balconies and storage areas.
- Bird repellent gels and sprays make roosting spots unattractive.
- Sound and light based deterrents are effective against gulls and crows.
- Droppings and nest clean-up with disinfection restores hygiene using suitable products and methods.
All the systems we use respect animal welfare, do not harm nature and give long-lasting protection.
