Birds, especially feral pigeons and gulls, are common in coastal towns like Newhaven. While often seen as harmless, their presence can create numerous issues for property owners:

• Property Damage: Acidic bird droppings, known as guano, are highly corrosive. They can permanently stain and degrade roofing materials, brickwork, paintwork, and even vehicles. Nests can block gutters and drainage systems, leading to water damage, and pose a fire hazard if built near electrical wiring.
• Health Risks: Guano is a biohazard. It can harbour over 60 different diseases, including Psittacosis, Salmonella, and E.coli, which can be transmitted to humans. Dried droppings can become airborne, posing a respiratory risk.
• Noise Disturbance: Early morning cooing or the incessant calls of gulls can severely impact the comfort of your home or the productivity of your business.
• Solar Panel Efficiency Loss: Birds nesting under solar panels in Newhaven can cause significant damage to wiring, reduce efficiency, and void warranties. This is a prevalent issue that requires specialist solar panel bird proofing.

• Bird Spikes Newhaven: Discreet, robust bird spikes are installed on ledges, sills, and rooflines to prevent birds from landing and roosting without causing them harm.
• Bird Netting Newhaven: For larger, more open areas like building fronts, courtyards, or warehouses, bird netting provides a highly effective and long-lasting barrier against all bird species.
• Post Wire Systems: A subtle, low-profile system, often used on architectural ledges, that creates an unstable landing surface for birds, deterring them from roosting.
