Bird proofing engineered for industrial plants

Factories give birds everything they want: warmth, height, shelter and food. Once a colony establishes in your roof steel, it grows until you remove the habitat. BCS has cleared and protected manufacturing plants across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond since 1987, from single workshops to sites like Tongaat Hulett's operations.

Industrial bird control in a manufacturing plant means a documented, guaranteed fix that removes birds from production steel, plant rooms and open bays, not a recurring spray contract. BCS uses the non-toxic Vamoose repellent gel on ledges and beams and custom Spectre Net exclusion netting on large voids, each with a written guarantee. Specialist bird proofing since 1987.

The risk

What birds actually cost you here

Product and process contamination

Droppings and feathers settle on work-in-progress, finished goods and packaging. In coating, printing and assembly processes, contamination means rework and scrap.

Plant and equipment damage

Acidic droppings corrode metal, paint and concrete, and nesting material blocks gutters, causing roof leaks and electrical faults that cost millions in repairs.

Health exposure for your workforce

Employees working under roosts breathe dust from dried droppings, which carries organisms responsible for over 40 diseases. That's an occupational-health liability, not just a nuisance.

Housekeeping audit failures

Bird fouling undermines 5S programmes, client walk-throughs and insurance inspections alike.

Compliance

A documented, guaranteed fix

Every project starts with a structured site survey and bird risk assessment. You get a prioritised scope, which areas to net, which to treat with gel, and what it costs, plus written guarantees when the work is done. Projects range from R5,000 to R5,000,000.

“6,500+ sites treated since 1987, including plants for Tiger Brands, Unilever and Tongaat Hulett.”

The solution

How BCS solves it

Vamoose two-step gel clears roof trusses, crane rails, pipe bridges and ledges for up to 5 years per treatment. Spectre Net exclusion netting permanently seals canopies, plant rooms and open-sided structures, guaranteed in writing for 8 years.

Questions

Bird control for manufacturing sites

Yes, with planning. Work is sequenced with your production and SHEQ teams, and most treatments need no drilling, hot work or power.
