Gull Control in Glasgow

Gull Species, colloquially referred to as Seagulls, are long-winged birds which are medium in size. The birds mostly occur in large flocks and are generally a mixture of light grey and white. The young are a mottled brown colour and will remain so until they develop their adult feathers. Gull Species generally fly with slow wing beats.

There are several gull species of birds which cause problems in the United Kingdom. They include species such as Herring Gull (Larus argentatus), Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus), Great Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus), the Common Gull (Larus canus) and Black-headed Gull (Larus ridbundus).

All these species except Common Gull and Black-headed Gull are classified as pest species which means they can be controlled legally. Having said that, all UK birds are protected from lethal control methods under the wildlife protection act. All other species mentioned can be controlled using more definitive means when air safety is concerned.

Gulls can be particularly aggressive throughout this period.
