![Page 8: Top 6 Ways Seagulls Can Damage Your Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052601/558b0500d8b42a9d0f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Seagulls are monogamous living with their mates for 30 years +.
They Breed in Spring and their chicks fledge over the summer.
![Page 9: Top 6 Ways Seagulls Can Damage Your Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052601/558b0500d8b42a9d0f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
As their chicks begin to fledge, the Seagull’s territorial and protective instincts kick in.

They swoop, dive-bomb & vomit on anyone or any animal that they see as a threat to their young. !
This creates fear and anxiety for the public.

Seagulls have high nest fidelity, returning to the same nest year on year.
If they choose to nest on your business’ roof, costly damage can occur.
![Page 14: Top 6 Ways Seagulls Can Damage Your Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052601/558b0500d8b42a9d0f8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Seagulls love to pick at moss and slates for nesting, loosening them, causing them to fall off or require replacing.

Gas flues and chimneys can be blocked by debris brought to the nesting site.

health of customers and staff at risk.
