Pest control for rail sites
Pigeons on stations, canopies and depots, rats in stores and mess rooms. Bird and pest control from someone who has worked on rail sites, planned around your access rules.
The problem
What goes wrong on these sites
Station canopies, footbridges and depot roofs give pigeons ledges to roost and nest on, and their droppings foul platforms, seating and trains. Rats and mice follow food waste into stores, mess rooms and cable routes, and gnaw wiring. Gulls work open platforms and bins.
Our approach
What we would do
We survey the roofs, ledges and ground the pests use. Netting, spikes and wire proof canopies and roof steel. Rodents are trapped and kept out with proofing. Where birds keep coming back, our own trained Harris’s hawks and falcons move them on.
On site
We work to your site safety rules and access briefings, wear the PPE you require and only work where your permits allow. A risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) is supplied before the first visit.

Risk assessment and method statement
Paperwork before the first visit
Every commercial site gets a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) before the first visit. It is written for your site, not copied from a template.
- Site hazards
- Moving vehicles, plant, public areas and how we keep clear of them
- The method
- Proofing, bait placements, netting, nest treatment, and a trained hawk only where one is used
- People
- Staff and public briefing, exclusion areas while we work, induction requirements
- Timing
- Visit times agreed around your operations
- Law and welfare
- Nesting season limits, licences where they apply, and bird welfare
- Waste
- Registered waste carrier (Environment Agency, upper tier, CBDU606377), so guano and nest material can be removed and disposed of legally.
- Insurance
- £5 million
Ask to see an example RAMS when you book a site visit.
