Hawking Pest Control in Kells

Kells's cathedral, round tower and stud rooftops carry persistent pigeon fouling on the Round Tower and the High Crosses, and jackdaws in chimney stacks across the heritage core. The site is protected, so every proposal is conservation-grade — concealed mesh, post-and-wire on the tower parapets, and scheduled Harris Hawk flights to break the established roost. The nearest landmark to most of our recent sites is the Round Tower and the Book of Kells High Crosses. Most of our residential work in Kells 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. Commercial work in Kells 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.
