Bird control measures

Bird control has become an increasing problem for businesses and industries in the UK. Not only do they cause significant amounts of noise pollution, but their droppings can be corrosive to many materials and can also pose a risk to public health.

There are many ways to deal with these winged nuisances. You’ve probably seen bird spikes on buildings and street furniture, designed to prevent birds from landing. Bird netting is also available, and some pest control companies even use professional falconers to scare away birds and prevent them from roosting in business properties.

Birds cause thousands of pounds of damage each year, so controlling their numbers makes financial sense for many businesses.

Ladies Tweed helped in new Environment

Having always been a city girl, moving to the country was a pretty major culture shock as you can imaging. My husband and I made friends quickly enough, but I never quite felt that we fitted in.

 

I spoke with one of my new friends about how I was feeling. Naturally she told me that everything was fine, but she suggested that if I felt a little out of place, that maybe I should dispense with all the ‘city’ designer labels

 

It was time to buy some proper country clothes. Thankfully there was a shop local to us that sold ladies tweed clothing and horse riding gear. A little over two hours later, I emerged a proper country lady!
