Hawking Pest Control in Meath
County Meath is the Royal County — Tara, the Boyne valley and Newgrange on one side, fast-growing commuter towns like Ashbourne, Ratoath and Navan on the other. The bird-pressure mirrors that contrast: pigeon fouling on Norman castles and round towers, rooks across the Boyne valley tillage, and commuter-town pigeon and starling pressure. We've worked across the county for years and we tailor each programme to the actual species, the site and the surrounding land use — never a one-size-fits-all spray. Domestic bird-control work in County Meath typically comes from three sources: pigeons fouling balconies, dormer roofs and chimney stacks in town and city housing; aggressive gulls dive-bombing back gardens and rooftops in coastal areas during the May–August breeding season; and starling, rook and jackdaw issues in rural cottages and farmhouses.

The combined approach — survey, hawking, proofing, and maintenance — that delivers a bird-free site for the long term.
Learn moreWe use proportionate, humane methods at every house — proofing first (mesh, spikes, post-and-wire), with falconry visits added only where roost pressure justifies it. Every job is fully insured and every Harris Hawk is trained and weather-tested. Nothing we use is lethal. Commercial bird-control is the bulk of our County Meath workload.
Fouling on signage, footpaths and loading bays is an HSE, food-safety and reputation problem long before it becomes an aesthetic one. We work routinely with hospitals, food production sites, hotels, retail centres, schools, logistics hubs and heritage operators — running scheduled hawking flights, installing concealed proofing systems and providing the written environmental-health documentation auditors expect. Most commercial clients move onto an annual integrated programme after the first season. In County Meath we lead with site assessment, then build a layered programme: regular hawking visits with our trained Harris Hawks to break the roost cycle, paired with site-appropriate physical proofing (bird netting, post-and-wire, stainless spikes, gull-spider deterrents) so that birds don't simply re-establish once the hawk leaves.
For hospitals, schools and protected structures we use only reversible, non-invasive fixings, and we provide written method statements and risk assessments for every commercial site.
