The risk

Birds aren't just a nuisance, they're a business risk

For an industrial or commercial operator, an established bird colony is a hit to compliance, hygiene, infrastructure and reputation all at once. Here's what's actually at stake.

Disease transmission

Bird droppings harbour over 40 diseases, including Salmonellosis and Listeriosis. Dried droppings turn to airborne dust that travels through your ventilation.

Product contamination

In food plants, warehouses and manufacturing, one roosting pigeon above a line is a contamination pathway, and a batch recall waiting to happen.

Compliance failures

Evidence of bird activity is a major non-conformance under ISO 22000, FSSC and retailer audits. Repeat findings put supply contracts at risk.

Property damage

Acidic droppings corrode metal, paint and concrete, and nesting material blocks gutters, costing millions in repairs and downtime.

Fire risk

Dry nesting material packed into gutters, roof voids and electrical equipment is a real ignition source, one that inspectors and insurers increasingly flag.

Reputational damage

Visible birds and fouling at entrances, canteens and customer-facing areas erode client and staff confidence, and that impression is hard to walk back once it's made.

Our solutions

Two manufactured systems.
One guaranteed outcome.

BCS doesn't resell someone else's hardware. We manufacture our own bird control systems and install them ourselves, which is why we can guarantee the result.

Independent proof

Tested by the University of KwaZulu-Natal, 100% reduction, no harm to birds

We don't just claim Vamoose works. The University of KwaZulu-Natal's School of Life Sciences tested it independently on feral pigeons and recorded a complete result.

“Once displaced, the pigeons did not return to the treated areas during the entire monitoring period.”
“Vamoose Bird Repellent Gel was effective at removing feral pigeons from ledges treated with it and with no observable harm to the birds post-treatment.”

After Treatment

100% reduction in birds observed on treated ledges, with no observable harm to the birds.

The BCS No Bird Guarantee seal
Our guarantee

The BCS No Bird Guarantee

We sell a result, not an attempt. Every BCS installation is backed in writing, so if birds come back to a surface we treated, putting it right is on us, not you. Vamoose carries a two-year guarantee with free reapplication, and Spectre Net an eight-year written workmanship guarantee.

Industries

Bird control built around your compliance risk

Every sector carries a different bird risk, contamination, corrosion, biosecurity, audit failure. We build the solution around yours.

Proof from the field

In our clients' own words

These aren't slogans. They're written confirmations from the engineers and managers responsible for the sites we treated.

“Since treating our factory site with Bird Control Services the situation has improved to the extent that the pigeon issue has ceased to exist.”
“We have no hesitation in confirming a 100% success being achieved in getting the birds out of certain areas of our Island View site.”
“BCS was employed to provide and implement an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution... their innovative use of gel and netting solutions has resulted in the total eradication of the bird colonies nesting.”

Get birds off your site. For good.

A BCS specialist will assess your site, identify every roosting and ingress point, and give you a scoped, guaranteed proposal, at no charge.
