Hawkeye’s Solutions to Control Seagulls in Pickering
Seagull Control Using Falconry
The difference between Hawkeye and other seagull control companies in Pickering and Durham Region is that we offer permanent solutions to pest problems. We are the only pest bird and animal/wildlife control company that is designated “Certified Wildlife Control Professional.” We also hold licenses that enable us to use birds of prey like hawks, owls, falcons, and eagles to scare, chase, and remove pest birds in a natural and effective way.
Netting Solutions
Stealth Netting, which is made from polyethylene and nylon, often used to prevent seagulls and other pests from getting into warehouse venting, fans, air conditioning units, and other open spaces on the roof of buildings.
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.

Goose Control for Aurora’s Schools and Playgrounds
One of Canada's most iconic and recognizable birds is the Canada Goose. Highly intelligent and adaptable, geese increasingly inhabit urban spaces, parks, and even school grounds. With that come some concerns for children's and staff's health and safety. Let's explore the struggles schools face to control geese, as well as goose control methods for Aurora's schools and playgrounds.
Why Are Geese Attracted to Schools and Playgrounds?
Any open and green space makes a goose's heart sing - even better if located near water.
Playgrounds and Sports Fields
With their short cut grass, school grounds, sports tracks, and even playgrounds make for an ideal nesting and feeding area for geese. Geese look for open spaces, with a view supporting early predator detection.
Lack of Natural Predators
The mere constant presence of humans promises fewer natural predators such as coyotes and wolves, hence making for safer breeding sites.
Food Sources
Humans (little humans, in particular) tend to drop food on the ground or leave behind crumbs and crusts, and whatnots :) Your child's mid-day snack will also be enjoyed by a goose - if given the opportunity.
Nearby Water Sources
If we are looking at the GTA or Southern Ontario as a whole, water is never very far away. If your school or playground happens to be near Lake Ontario, a pond, or a retention basin, it provides a perfect environment for nesting geese and their offspring.
Risks of Geese in School Environments
Aggressive Behaviour Toward Students and Staff
During nesting season (March to June), geese become extremely territorial and may chase, hiss, or even attack students and staff who unknowingly wander too close to their nests.
Young children are especially vulnerable as they may not recognize the warning signs of an aggressive goose and/or don't know how to deescalate a confrontation.
Health Hazards
Goose Droppings Goose droppings are highly unsanitary and contain bacteria like E coli, Salmonella, and Cryptosporidium. They can and will contaminate surfaces and areas frequently used by children.
Feathers Feathers can also carry a multitude of parasites and bacteria - and children adore collecting and playing with feathers.
Increased Presence of Insects Geese (especially their droppings) attracts insects, further degrading the hygiene of school or playground surfaces and equipment.
