Did you have an issue with Gulls on your property/business last year?
As Spring approaches, so does gull nesting season with nesting spots beginning to be established in March/April. If you had problems with noisy, aggressive, or messy gulls last year, now is the time to act. Early intervention is key to preventing the issue reoccurring this year.
Once a pair of gulls have established a nesting point, they will return each year. When nesting commences, they become highly territorial and removing them becomes legally difficult.
Why are Gull’s a problem?
While gulls are a natural part of the environment, their nesting habits can create significant issues for businesses and homeowners, including:
✔️ Noise pollution – Constant squawking, especially during breeding season.
✔️ Mess and damage – Droppings can corrode surfaces, block gutters, and create slip hazards.
✔️ Aggressive behaviour – Gulls protect their nests fiercely, sometimes swooping at people.
✔️ Waste scavenging – Open bins and food waste attract them, leading to more nuisance.
What if the Gulls have already nested?
Once they’ve nested, removing them requires a Gull license. Obtaining a Gull license can prove difficult and with processing times taking a number of weeks, it can be frustrating to continually deal with the issues without guaranteed approval.
