    Like any big box retailer we have constant issues with birds in store.

    They are a frustrating and difficult problem to manage, however we do everything we can to keep them out, stop them settling in and remove them on a regular basis. We engage with a pest control company on a monthly basis who assist us.

    We have tried the standard methods of management ie baiting, shooting, narcotising and trapping but are still having the little beggars turn up especially sparrows.

    Has anyone got any recommendations for companies (outside Rentokil who is our contracted company) who are bird control gurus?

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions so far.

    Being a supermarket its very hard to manage keeping birds outside when you have five exterior doors which are actively open at one time or another 24/7 due to forklift, stock or people movements.

    I enjoyed reading the risk management info for horticultural industry but while we have no difficulty in scaring the birds currently we need to be able to get them back outside again (alive or deceased)
    Its a pity cannons, lasers or drones cannot capture them.

    We will keep searching.
