Seagull Proof Sacks - Protect Waste from Seagulls & Vermin during collection

Product Information

Urban gulls are protected by The Wildlife and Country Act and it is an offence to remove or harm their eggs or nests unless they are a serious risk to public health. Nuisance alone is not considered to be a reasonable justification for culling. We are unable to help with complaints about wild birds and seagulls on privately-owned property/land. An authorised person is a landowner/occupier. It can also be a person authorised by the landowner/occupier, like a pest controller.
