– PEST CONTROL SERVICES –
Pigeons fouling a warehouse roof, gulls swooping on a food site, crows gathering over a farmyard every morning. Spikes and netting can’t cover every surface, and pest birds soon get used to static deterrents. Falconry uses trained birds of prey to make an area feel unsafe, so pest birds move on without being harmed. Wiltshire Pest Services Ltd provides falconry pest control for businesses, farms and public sites across Wiltshire and into the borders of Somerset, Dorset and Hampshire.

– LOVED BY HOMEOWNERS & BUSINESSES –
Pigeons, gulls and crows instinctively avoid places where birds of prey hunt. Flying a hawk or falcon over a site tells them the area isn’t safe.
The aim is to deter, not to kill. Pest birds relocate elsewhere, without trapping, poisons or harm.
Flying the birds regularly over a period of time breaks the pest birds’ routine, so they stop treating your site as a place to feed, roost or nest.
Falconry clears the birds; proofing such as netting and spikes stops them settling back on key areas. Together they give the longest-lasting results.
Pigeons roost and nest on roofs, ledges and in open buildings, leaving droppings that are unsightly, slippery and a hygiene risk.
Gulls can be noisy and aggressive, especially in the breeding season, and cause mess and damage around food sites, rooftops and waste areas.
Corvids damage crops, raid feed stores and bin areas, and can be a real problem on farms and around food businesses.
Large roofs and open loading bays are hard to proof completely. Falconry keeps birds off without covering every surface.
Keeping birds away from feed stores, livestock sheds and production areas protects hygiene and reduces losses.
Where fixing spikes or netting isn’t allowed or would spoil the building, falconry offers a solution that leaves the structure untouched.
Falconry is quiet, visible and popular with the public, making it well suited to busy, open areas.
Agile and responsive, Harris hawks are ideal for built-up sites and flying close around buildings.
Fast, high-flying falcons, including peregrine hybrids, are used over open land, large roofs and wide sites.
Our birds are raised and trained in-house, flown by experienced handlers, and kept healthy with proper permits and veterinary care. Each bird is chosen to suit the site and the pest species.
Call us or use the form on this page. Tell us about your site, the birds causing the problem and when they’re most active. If you call, we’ll take the details and send you a follow-up form through our booking system, then talk you through your options and what happens next.
We visit to see where birds are roosting, feeding and nesting, and assess the site for safe flying. For large roofs and high structures, we can use a drone to survey without scaffolding.
We agree which birds to fly, how often and at what times, and whether proofing should be added to protect key areas.
Our handlers fly the birds over the problem areas on a regular schedule, keeping disruption to staff, customers and the public to a minimum.
We track progress and give you records, updates and recommendations. Ongoing and seasonal plans are available for sites with persistent bird problems.
We price each job once we’ve seen the site. The main factors are the size of the site, the species and number of pest birds, how often flights are needed, and how long the programme runs. Get in touch for a clear quote.
Our falconers are trained in wildlife management, pest control law and animal welfare, and our birds are raised and trained in-house.
Our team has over 30 years of combined experience, including BPCA-certified professionals and a Fellow of the RSPH, and is licensed and insured for specialist pest control work.
If proofing alone will solve your bird problem, we’ll tell you. Falconry is recommended only where it’s the right tool.
We work around your business hours and keep disruption to a minimum.
We combine falconry with proofing and monitoring, so birds don’t simply return once the flights stop.
No. The aim is to deter them. The presence of a bird of prey makes the site feel unsafe, so pigeons, gulls and crows move elsewhere.
Yes. Our birds are flown by experienced handlers under strict control, with the right permits, insurance and a site assessment before any flights.
It depends on the site and the size of the problem. Most programmes start with frequent flights, then reduce as the pest birds change their habits.
Many sites see less bird activity within the first few weeks, but lasting results come from a regular programme over time.
They do different jobs. Falconry moves birds on across a whole site; spikes and netting stop them landing on specific areas. The best results usually come from using both.
Yes. Because nothing is fixed to the building, falconry is often the preferred option where proofing isn’t allowed or would spoil the appearance.
It depends on the size of the site, the pest species and how often flights are needed. We give you a clear quote after the site survey.
