Seagull Control New York
Seagulls are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act — making deterrence and exclusion the only legal options for control. Our coastal bird control specialists design systems for Long Island, NYC waterfront, and all New York coastal properties.
Where Seagulls Are a Problem
- Marinas and boatyards: Seagulls foul boats, docks, and equipment with acidic droppings.
- Waterfront restaurants: Aggressive seagulls harass diners on outdoor patios and steal food.
- Flat commercial rooftops: Seagulls nest on flat roofs, especially near water. Nesting pairs are extremely aggressive.
- Parking lots near water: Seagulls use elevated light fixtures and signage as perch sites.
- Beach communities: Concentrated tourist areas with food attract large seagull populations.
Seagull Deterrent Methods
Boat & Dock Systems
Monofilament wire grids over boat covers and docks prevent seagull landing without obstruction.
Rooftop Exclusion
Netting and wire systems that prevent nesting on flat commercial rooftops.
Audio Deterrents
Distress call and predator call systems that disrupt seagull comfort at a location.
Visual Deterrents
Predator decoys, flash tape, and laser systems for open areas.
⚠️ Important: Seagulls Are Federally Protected
All seagull species are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Killing, trapping, or disturbing nesting seagulls without a federal permit is illegal and carries significant fines. We use only legal, humane deterrence methods. Contact us before attempting any DIY seagull control.
