Bird Watch Ireland is asking people not to give the gulls any leftover food when restaurants reopen in June.
The squaking of the bird is not really the sound that outdoor diners will want to hear while out for a meal from next month.
However pest control service Rentokil has reported a 50 percent surge in callouts associated with seagulls compared to this time last year.
Meanwhile Bird Watch Ireland says some seagulls get aggressive with humans if they associated them with food.
Public Relations Officer Niall Hatch is urging the public not to feed them.
Rentokil expects to get more callouts in the coming months, as the gull breeding season runs until September.
