Professional gull mitigation for urban and operational environments
Avian Environmental UK provides professional gull mitigation services for sites affected by persistent gull activity, nesting behaviour, and territorial aggression. Our work focuses on ethical, compliant, and site-specific solutions designed to reduce disruption while respecting wildlife legislation and environmental best practice.
Gull activity can present challenges in urban, commercial, and operational settings, particularly during the breeding season. Effective mitigation requires an understanding of gull behaviour, site conditions, and seasonal patterns rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
A site-specific approach to gull mitigation
Every location presents different challenges. Our gull mitigation programmes begin with a thorough site assessment to identify contributing factors such as food sources, nesting opportunities, flight paths, and existing deterrents.
Based on this assessment, we develop a proportionate mitigation strategy tailored to the site and its operational requirements. This approach allows for effective management of gull activity without unnecessary intervention.
Gull mitigation methods
Depending on the site and circumstances, mitigation measures may include:
- Falconry-led gull deterrence programmes
- Behavioural deterrence to discourage nesting and roosting
- Bird proofing and preventative measures where appropriate
- Ongoing monitoring and programme adjustment
All methods are selected to be ethical, lawful, and appropriate to the environment.
