• The British Pest Control Association is quoted as saying that the increase in spending may reflect the increase in awareness of the public health risks.
  
• Attacks on pets in Cornwall by seagulls resulted in the Prime Minister calling for a discussion on how to control pest birds.
  
• Humane methods of deterrent are advocated where possible, and should always be carried out by professionals because of the various laws involved.
