Airport bird control isn’t as simple as waving a broom at them – especially when they love the place as much as they do! This may sound counterintuitive, but smaller species can actually be attracted to airports, as the noise and danger seems like a safe place for them to escape larger prey.
However, they cause all kinds of problems for air and ground staff, and are a pervasive pest when it comes to human-made flight. So, it’s only natural that the authorities would like to keep birds off the runway. But how to ensure that you are getting the best team in the business?
Be sure to follow these five tips:
-
Take a look at some methods
How does your potential team provide airport bird mitigation? After all, every situation is different, and there is no set method for ensuring these cheeky buggers stay away from the danger zone. You should be able to consult your potential team, telling them of the exact problem (i.e. infestation in the hangers) and they should be able to provide you with a pretty good idea as to how they will get rid of that avian threat.
If not, it shows that they actually don’t have much industry experience, and may even resort to a one-size-fits-all solution to getting rid of them, something which can actually do more harm than good. A specified approach is key to clearing the space – ensure your potential team has the specialised approach!
-
What kind of tech do they have at their disposal?
Given that airport authority shouldn’t be using a one-size-fits-all approach to their service, they should, therefore, have a range of technology at their disposal. As we said, this service is far more complex than simply waving a few broom-like instruments in their faces – they may need to employ various solutions to get the best results!
With this in mind, they should have some high quality tech on-hand to alleviate the infestation and ensure it won’t be coming back any time soon!
-
Research their experience
They should have the experience needed to ensure your infestation is gone and not coming back. A high quality, highly experienced team will have been applying their trade for many years, developing their craft and learning brand new methods along the way.
If you’re looking to enlist a team that has just entered the industry then you can trust that they won’t have seen much and will not know how to handle the various situations this job can throw at them, so it’s best to go with a team that has lots of experience in providing this imperative infestation service.
-
Do they have solid Google reviews?
Obviously, the best in the business will have a 5 star Google rating – so the best to look to gauge their credentials is there. This will give you a fantastic idea of how other clients enjoyed their service. Do clients attest to their ability to get the job done with skill and efficiency? Are they happy to leave a 5 star rating with some very happy words attached?
-
When can they get started?
Because you want that infestation gone and you want it gone now! You shouldn’t have to wait around whilst the birds run amok – it’s dangerous and bad for operations! So, check that they can come in and do the job soon – it will make all the difference when it comes to getting rid of that avian infestation.
