Hawking Pest Control
in Dublin City
Near Trinity College and the Georgian squares
Dublin City is the most bird-pressured area in Ireland. From the Liffey quays to the Georgian squares, Trinity, Temple Bar and the Docklands, we manage feral pigeons across the city centre and starlings under quays and bridges — every day of the year. We run scheduled hawking on hotels, hospitals, office HQs and food sites across the city. The nearest landmark to most of our recent sites is Trinity College and the Georgian squares.

Most of our residential work in Dublin City is small-scale proofing — chimney mesh, dormer-roof spikes, gutter-edge wire and concealed netting on inset balconies. Where pigeons or gulls have established a strong roost, we'll add a short course of weekly Harris Hawk visits to break the cycle, then return for a follow-up inspection. Every system is fully reversible, weatherproofed for Irish conditions, and discreet — most installations are invisible from street level. We don't use lethal methods on any site, residential or commercial.
Trusted by Dublin's businesses, hospitals and food sites
Commercial work in Dublin City usually starts with a free site assessment — we walk the roofline, identify the active roost points, photograph fouling patterns and species-identify what's actually on site. From there we propose a layered plan: scheduled hawking visits at a frequency that matches the pressure, plus targeted proofing (mesh, netting, post-and-wire, stainless spikes or gull-spiders) on the structures the birds are using. Every commercial visit comes with a written method statement, RAMS, insurance certs and a service report. Most clients are on an annual integrated programme inside the first year.
Local note: For a typical Dublin City site we recommend the commercial bird management pathway: an initial site assessment, a short course of weekly Harris Hawk flights, and concealed proofing tuned to the species and structure. Conservation-grade fixings are used on every protected or listed building. We provide written documentation for HSE, food-safety auditors and local-authority planning where needed.
"We had a serious gull problem on the hotel roof terrace — guests were complaining and the food-safety auditor was concerned. After six weeks of hawking visits and some discreet wire-and-mesh proofing, the birds moved on and stayed off."
