Drone deployment, before and after the deterrent tactics is a more efficient means of confirming that the job is done and the pests have not returned, and the client can be assured that their building is bird free.

−	~~= Introduction =~~	+	Animals can establish themselves anywhere where they are undisturbed and have a regular food source, often in our urban spaces. One of the most prevalent issues in towns and cities is bird infestation on roofs, whether it's pigeon activity blocking up gutters, or nesting, birds.

−	~~Pests can establish themselves anywhere that they are undisturbed and have a regular food source. They often seek those comforts in our urban spaces and one~~ of the most ~~prevalent pest issues~~ is ~~bird infestation~~ on ~~roofs. Whether it's pigeon activity blocking up gutters, or nesting, birds are an awkward pest to monitor~~ and ~~discourage~~.	+	One of the most common birds in urban areas is the seagull. Their increased presence on buildings can present a nuisance for landlords and occupants.

−	~~One of the most common avian pests~~ in urban areas ~~is the seagull. Their increased presence~~ on ~~buildings in towns and cities presents~~ a ~~nuisance for landlords~~ and ~~occupiers~~.	+	Seagulls in urban areas are difficult to remove once they have become established on a roof. They are loud, cause damage to structures, make a mess, scavenge food and can be territorially aggressive. Because they nest at height, monitoring their activities poses a challenge to pest controllers.

−	~~= Bird~~'s~~-eye view =~~	+	In 2016, Mitie's began to use drone technology as part of their pest control strategy. Drones offer exceptional visual access as they are able to fly and hover up to 400 ft in the air. They can photograph and accurately record activity with high quality 4K cameras, giving customers a more detailed inspection service.

−	Seagulls in urban spaces are one of the most difficult pests to remove once they have installed themselves on a roof. They are loud, cause damage to structures with their nesting, make a mess with their droppings, steal and scavenge food and can be territorially aggressive. Because they nest at height, monitoring their activities poses a challenge to any pest controller.	+	Any images or videos that drones capture are instantly transmittable to the drone controller on the ground via, smartphone, laptop or tablet.

−	Any images or videos that drones capture are instantly transmittable to the drone controller on the ground via, smartphone laptop or tablet~~. Furthermore, all drones are operated within Civil Aviation Authority guidelines relating to unmanned aircraft, for optimum safety~~.	+

	Working in this way, not only is roof surveillance easier, but it is also safer. Normally a pest control operative would have to inspect a roof in person. With that approach comes all the safety risks of working at height, including being attacked by the birds; however, by using a drone, the risk to personal safety is eliminated completely.

−	Using drones in tandem with falconry deterrence ~~services is~~ an efficient combination of technology working with nature. After identifying any nesting gulls ~~on any given building~~ with a drone, birds of prey can be ~~employed~~ to deter gull activity ~~on the roof space~~. They help to scare gulls away, sending a clear message that ~~the roof~~ is not a safe place for nesting or congregating.	+	Using drones in tandem with falconry deterrence gives an efficient combination of technology and working with nature.
