Seagull Control Using Other Methods
In addition to netting and falconry, gulls are also affected by pyrotechnics, lasers, and firearms (by a professional and trained shooter). Gulls are a protected species in Canada, so it’s important to note that permits are required for this type of work and the birds will be dealt with humanely.
Pickering Is a Perfect Attraction for Seagulls
If you own a commercial property in Pickering, you may be wondering why this location is so well loved by seagulls. There are three simple reasons for this: easy access to food, water, and shelter. Seagulls often flock to growing urban areas because the increase of people in the area means more food and more garbage. Locations like the waterfronts, marinas, parks, and trails can especially draw seagulls to the area.

Seagulls and pigeons are among the most common pest birds that we encounter in Ontario. Aside from being annoying, seagulls are also a big nuisance to commercial properties. Once they’ve landed and found a place to nest, it can be difficult to get them off your property. If you’re looking for seagull control in Burlington or Halton, then you’ve come to the right place.
Hawkeye’s Seagull Control Solutions in Burlington
At Hawkeye Bird and Animal Control, we use a variety of effective, safe, and humane seagull control and removal tactics in Burlington. Our pest bird removal experts in Halton are trained in the following disciplines:
Seagull Control Using Falconry
Falconry is a natural and effective method of seagull control or removal. It involves training birds of prey such as falcons, hawks, eagles, and owls to scare off pest birds like seagulls. Since birds of prey naturally hunt pest birds in the wild, this method is the most humane form of pest bird removal in Halton. It requires a great deal of skill on the part of the falconer, however, and is illegal to do without a permit.
Netting Solutions for Seagull Prevention
At Hawkeye, we use Stealth Netting, which is made from polyethylene and nylon, to prevent seagulls from landing and nesting on your property. Polyethylene netting is resistant to UV rays and can hold up to 75 pounds of weight. Available in white, black, tan, or clear, it’s also aesthetically pleasing and can match any architectural design.
Why Burlington Is a Potential Seagull Haven
With all of its natural beauty and booming population growth, it’s no wonder than Burlington has become somewhat of a seagull haven. Since seagulls are water birds, they’re attracted to beaches, lakes, rivers, and even oceans. Burlington is located between Lake Ontario’s north shore and the Niagara Escarpment.
Other contributing factors include:
Strong population growth. A 2017 consensus showed that the population of Burlington currently sits at approximately 205,960 residents and is steadily growing. Larger populations typically mean more waste production and litter, which attracts pest birds.
An important commercial city with plenty of commercial properties. Burlington has seen substantial economic growth over the past few years which can largely be attributed to its diverse transportation infrastructure and commercial businesses. Food processing, packaging, electronics, and motor vehicle plants are among the biggest industries in Burlington. All of these commercial properties typically have large parking lots and warehouses, which are ideal nesting spots for seagulls.
Tourism spots and seagull-friendly areas around Burlington. Burlington is also known for its natural beauty and conservation areas including parks and trails, the Marina Hamilton Harbour, and the Royal Botanical Gardens—all of which encourage animals to roam freely in their natural habitats.

St. Catharines is the largest city in Canada's Niagara Region, 51 kilometres south of Toronto, with roughly 150,000 residents. It boasts a unique micro-climate due to the moderating influence of Lake Ontario/Lake Erie and the sheltering effect of the Niagara Escarpment to the south, resulting in many thriving local wineries. Equally important to note is St. Catharines' dominant manufacuring industry - General Motors is one of the city's largest employers.

By foregoing proper and safe raccoon control and removal, North York residents may well be unwittingly participating in the mass education of the masked bandits, which is resulting in their increasing domination of the urban landscape. The raccoon population has enjoyed a substantial surge over the past 80 years. They’re apparently at highest density in suburbs, but they appear to be also thriving in our cities. Raccoons have adjusted remarkably well to living alongside humans and our ever evolving methods to keep them out — perhaps because when they live with us, they seem to be learning from us.
So, then what is the solution? How do we keep raccoons at bay long term?
By calling in the Raccoon Control and Removal experts at Hawkeye Bird & Animal Control. We will remove the offending raccoon(s) from your property and ensure they WILL NOT RETURN.
Unlike almost all other Greater Toronto Area animal control operations, as a licensed furbearer trapping company we can employ raccoon control methods IN ADDITION TO relocation of captured raccoons in North York. This is why we guarantee the permanent removal of raccoons and other wildlife.Call 416.429.5393 if you're having trouble with raccoons - Hawkeye's technicians are standing by at our North York offices.
After trapping and removal of the animals, we will focus on eliminating all conditions prone to attract other raccoons. In large part, this means food and water sources. They consume anything—human trash, pet food, bird seed—and they can see at night, when garbage cans are easy to raid. We will also pay close attention to possible access points into your home. Raccoons will happily adapt to sleeping in various cozy nooks on your property, including under decks and in attics and chimneys, substituting more traditional hollows and burrows. They have nimble little hands, are smart and curious, able to open refrigerator doors, pry apart Tupperware, unzip tent zippers, or turn doorknobs.
Aside from damage to your home and property, raccoons also pose a very real threat to the health of humans and pet(s). Raccoons commonly carry rabies, histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, as well as roundworm in their droppings. If you find raccoon feces please do not attempt to clean it up yourself - call us for professional clean up and disinfection.

Ever growing Canada geese populations, particularly in urban centers, call for an increase in goose control measures. The objective with all goose control efforts is to create an environment that geese perceive as unpredictable, unstable, unsafe, and unsuitable for nesting and breeding. In this article, we will explore the 2 most effective ways to accomplish that and have geese move on to more desirable locations on their own.
Trained Dogs for Goose Control: Ground-Based Deterrence
How it works
Dogs used to haze (or chase) geese, must be energetic, have excellent recall, and understand the goal. The goal, of course, is to move the birds off, not hurt or kill them.
Advantages of Using Trained Dogs
Versatility Dogs can be used in a wide range of open and semi-open environments, including small bodies of water;
Immediate and Visible Impact Geese react quickly to the presence and movement of dogs - disbursing immediately;
Relatively Low Risk to Non-Target Species A skilled handler can direct the dogs effectively and focus their attention on geese only;
Can Cover Large Areas Experienced handlers and well-trained dogs can cover a lot of terrain in a relatively short amount of time.
Limitations of Using Trained Dogs
Water Limitations Large bodies of water present challenges as geese can simply move to the far end of a pond, rather than leave the area.;
Potential for Disturbance to Public Careful planning and execution is necessary to avoid alarming people or other animals and to manage public relations;
Handler Dependency The success of chasing geese with trained dogs is highly reliant on the skill and consistency of the handler;
Not Always Effective for Nesting Geese Once geese are nesting, they may not be so easily persuaded to leave their nests and eggs.
Ideal Situations and Locations for Trained Dogs
Parks and Recreational Areas The open grassy areas found in public parks are a perfect environment for Canada geese and can be managed by trained dogs and experienced handlers;
Golf Courses Similarly to parks, golf courses with short cut grass and water features are also prime real estate for geese. The use of dogs must be limited to times when there are no golfers on the premise;
Agricultural Fields Rural areas and agricultural fields are also plagued by flocks of geese and dogs can be effective, as long as crops aren't in danger of being trampled;
Airports and Airfields Managing geese on grassy areas adjacent to runways requires with careful coordination and safety protocols;
Waterfront Parks and Beaches Trained dogs can do a fantastic job keeping beaches or waterparks clear of geese.
Birds of Prey for Goose Control: Aerial Predation and the "Fear Factor"
How it Works
Large birds of prey are natural predators and recognized as such by geese and other pest birds. An eagle soaring above a flock of geese gets the message across that the best course of action is to leave the area immediately.
Falconry offers a humane, effective, and environmentally friendly way to deter Canada geese;
Geese perceive the eagle in the air as a lethal threat, even though the eagle does not attack;
A skilled falconer fully in control of his bird is a must.
Advantages of Using Eagles
Geese recognize and fear aerial predators, leading to long-term avoidance of the area;
Birds of Prey can effectively deter geese on lakes, ponds, and rivers from the air;
Raptors can patrol extensive territories and all terrains;
Falconry offers a completely natural and non-evasive form of geese control;
The persistent threat of multiple days of eagles in the air can discourage gathering and nesting long term.
