Scarborough has one of the most significant seagull problems on the Yorkshire coast. Herring gulls nest on rooftops across the town, creating noise, aggression, fouling, and waste scattering.
Coastal Gull Challenges
- Aggressive behaviour — dive-bombing pedestrians and tourists during nesting season
- Noise — gull calls starting before dawn, disrupting residents and hospitality businesses
- Food theft — gulls targeting food from outdoor dining and fish and chip shops
- Waste scattering — gulls tearing open refuse bags across streets
- Roof damage — nesting activity damaging membranes, aerials, and drainage
- Tourism impact — aggressive gulls deterring visitors from the seafront
Legal Complexity
Herring gulls are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Active nests cannot be disturbed without an individual Natural England licence. We have the specialist knowledge to navigate this complexity. Read more about seagull control and the law.

Frequently Asked Questions — Scarborough
Can you legally remove seagulls in Scarborough?
Herring gulls are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. We use legal deterrence methods — proofing, hawk dispersal, and licensed egg management where Natural England licences are granted. Read more about the law.
When is the best time to install gull proofing?
October to February, before the nesting season begins. Proactive installation prevents gulls from establishing nesting sites on your property.
Do you cover Filey and Bridlington?
Yes. We cover the entire Yorkshire coast from Scarborough, including Filey, Bridlington, Flamborough, and surrounding areas.
