Gulls are one of the most challenging bird species for pest professionals to manage. Their protected status, growing urban populations and aggressive nesting behaviours can make control complicated.
In a webinar, taking place on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, from 12.30pm, Niall Gallagher, BPCA’s technical manager, will take a deep dive into gull identification, ecology and behaviour, and share advice on how to plan effective and legally compliant control programmes ahead of the 2026 season.
BPCA said: “You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of how to assess sites, work safely, and confidently submit license applications.”
This member-only webinar, we’ll explore:
- How to correctly identify UK gull species and understand their ecology;
- The pressures behind gull behaviour, from nesting to feeding;
- Licensing updates and compliance essentials for 2026; and
- Practical control tactics, proofing methods and deterrent selection.
