Herring Gull Roof Net
We were lucky enough to have spent the week with a bird’s eye view of Dublin City’s beautiful skyline. Our completed roof net will deny herring gulls access to the rooftop for this coming nesting season. As with most species, habitat management is central to resolving issues arising from human/wildlife conflict. There is no doubt that herring gulls are increasingly moving inland, however…
Bug Hotels
As part of our Biodiversity and Habitat Management Programme, Wildlife Management Services can design and install bug hotels. We recently launched one such Bug Hotel in the Croke Park Stadium. In urban areas bug hotels are particularly important as they can house many important insects such as pollinators which can find it difficult to find places to nest and hibernate in our overly managed urban…

What is digging up my lawn?
In Wildlife Management Services we are often contacted by clients that have just discovered damage to their lawns by burrowing animals of some sort or another. The damage often varies from small pecking holes to large deep holes. Rarely is the culprit seen and therefore identification can be tricky.
Damage can be caused by a range of animals. The most common species that…
Barn Owl Conservation
Barn owls are very close to our hearts in Wildlife Management Services. This much loved farmland bird is a species that is currently under threat due to loss of habitat, roosting sites and nesting sites. Other contributing factors are the increase in man-made hazards such as roads as well as widespread accidental poisoning by powerful pest control poisons. With so many hurdles to cross it…
