The presence of gulls and their nests in or around a property is highly likely to result in significant noise.<\/li>\n<li><b>Unpleasant Smells<\/b> &#8211;\u00a0Gulls are not choosey about the food that they eat. An unfortunate side effect of this is the fact that their droppings have a really bad smell, can be highly corrosive and are therefore extremely harmful to human health.<\/li>\n<li><b>Damage to Property<\/b> \u2013\u00a0The cumulative damage caused by gulls over a period of time can often be very costly to repair.<\/li>\n<li><b>Injuries<\/b> &#8211;\u00a0Gulls are extremely protective of their young and if they feel threatened in any way and are known to react very aggressively. Prevention is better than cure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Leave it to the Professionals<\/h2>\n<p>Because gulls are protected by legislation and because of this, you cannot take matters into your own hands to remove them from the area.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately though, there are a variety of options available to prevent gulls from nesting on a building including wires, netting and spikes which can both supply and install. The prevention method used generally depends on the type of building that needs protecting and our range of proven solutions are guaranteed to offer swift and long lasting relief from these problems.<\/p>\n<p>If you have experienced any gull related problems over the past 12 months, now is the perfect time to seek advice and assistance so that we can ensure measures are implemented to make sure the problems don\u2019t re-surface.<\/p>\n<h2>Further Information<\/h2>\n<p>If you would like any further information regarding the services available from IPM, or would like to an on-site consultation please give us a call on\u00a001992 763776\u00a0or click the \u2018Live Help\u2019 button at the top of our website.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Currently Browsing: <b>Winter Gull Problems<\/b><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An RSPB report highlighted the fact that seagull complaints are at highest for a decade. \u201cAggressive seagull attacks are on the rise duchy and people are taking extreme approaches to deal with them.
