Electricity Alliance

Proofing of Electricity Alliance’s UK distribution warehouse, against jackdaw infestation.

Enviroguard were initially contacted by Electricity Alliance to shoot jackdaws that were entering their distribution warehouse and creating a health and safety issue from fouling that was evident on stored goods.

Upon inspection of the site, Jackdaws were also found to be nesting on large sofit boards located above the sliding doors on either end of the building, years of nesting material and fouling had accumulated on the top surface of the boards and was creating a risk of the boards collapsing.

Rather than a quick fix by shooting the birds which would have returned due to the ideal nesting sites on the building, Enviroguard proposed a longer term proofing instillation, which would solve the problem of bird entry once and for all.

The first phase of the job was to remove the sofit boards and nesting material due to the imminent danger of collapse, boards and nesting material were removed and a final decontamination with Biocide was completed in readiness for proofing.

Bird entry points on all four elevations of the building were then proofed with rigid mesh and polypropylene netting, this work denied the birds access into the building and forced the habitual birds to relocate, creating a more cost effective and long term solution to the problem.
