Pest Gull Control

Ethical Gull Control for Roofs, Sites & Public Areas

Gulls, especially Herring Gulls and Lesser Black-Backed Gulls, can become aggressive, territorial, and hazardous when nesting. From dive-bombing pedestrians to fouling rooftops and blocking gutters, their impact is serious. Sky Raiders offers legal, humane gull control using trained birds of prey, licensed nest disruption, and rooftop deterrent strategies.

Why Gull Problems Need Action

  • Aggression: Gulls will attack staff, contractors, and members of the public near nests
  • Noise & Fouling: Constant squawking and heavy droppings damage structures and surfaces
  • Blocked Gutters: Nests made of sticks, bones and waste cause leaks and flooding
  • Health Risks: Gulls spread bacteria through droppings and scavenged waste
  • Legal Issues: Duty of care to staff and visitors, especially on commercial premises

For a deeper look at the risks, read our blog on seagull attacks and legal responsibility, including how an 80-year-old man was tragically killed following a gull incident.

Our Gull Control Services

Falconry Deterrents

Trained hawks and falcons flown during peak nesting and feeding periods disrupt gull behaviour and discourage roosting.

Nest Disruption & Egg Removal (Under Licence)

Where permitted, we can remove or oil gull eggs to prevent hatching, in full compliance with Natural England licences.

Access Surveys & Deterrent Advice

We inspect and report on rooftop activity, entry points, and recommend proofing or control zones.

Pre-Season & Reactive Visits

Ideally, gull control starts before nesting begins, but we also offer mid-season and emergency response visits.

Where Gull Control Is Needed Most

  • Flat-roofed buildings
  • Warehouses and distribution centres
  • Coastal and riverside properties
  • Schools, hospitals, and public buildings
  • Landfills, food sites, and rooftops

Legal & Ethical

All gull species are protected under UK law. Control can only be carried out under a specific licence. We handle all paperwork and operate strictly within the law, no shortcuts, no risk to your business.
