Gulls are a messy pest, but control has to be done with care: only 3, the Greater Black-Backed (Larus marinus), the Lesser Black-Backed (Larus fuscus) and the Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) are regarded as pests and can be removed under the General Licence. All others are protected so can't be disturbed.

This means you have to really know what you are doing, but the pest species can be shot and eggs removed.

Or bring in some nice big buzzards.
