The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects by law all UK wild birds.
Law firmly forbids damaging nests, disturbing roosting birds, or employing damaging deterrents. Fortunately, you nevertheless have several legal and permitted options available to deal with nuisance bird populations efficiently.
Within Argoed, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers specialist bird control by using effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Argoed
Pest bird faeces contain various pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by breathing in tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Wherever birds invade a place of work, the silent threat of ornithosis looms a significant occupational hazard.
For catering and food firms in Argoed, managing guano contamination involves complying with strict statutory standards in along with addressing the primary health risks.
Aside from biological hazards, guano swiftly accumulates in gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points.
First, birds collect on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before perching. Consequently, their built-up waste accelerates stonework decay, clogs gutters, and creates dangerous slip hazards on the paths below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Argoed property? You face increasing building damage, building up guano, and a necessary installation job that becomes pricier the more time you leave it!
Troubled by birds? No matter the species, our brilliant bespoke systems reliably protect you, your property, and everyone on site from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Argoed
Feral pigeons and sea birds cause the most noticeable damage on Argoed’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges give them ongoing roosting shelter.
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings access roof voids through more limited openings than either species.
Before securing any specialist fixings, our technicians thoroughly cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety comes first. Disturbed dry droppings create severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly encourage secondary infestations to thrive.
Which fabulous bird species do we help manage every working day? Have a look!
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeon numbers consistently gather in considerable numbers across our city environments.
One pair of pigeons raises up to six annual broods. Pigeon populations grow fast on any structure with quiet ledges or empty roof voids.
As pigeons regularly revisit their established nest and roosting locations, straightforward scaring measures do not s\ucceed to disrupt this hardwired behavioural pattern.
Successful pigeon management in Argoed is based on physical exclusion systems that fully prevent alighting, thereby leading these birds to find other habitats in another location.
Seagulls and gulls
Both steadily expanded deeper inland, settling as year-round breeding residents throughout Argoed and the nearby Midlands.
Gathering in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn extremely hostile during their breeding season, a fraught period running from April until August.
Due because of their increased mass compared to pigeons, gulls need post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the less robust deterrents adequate for pigeon management.
We carefully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each individual site.
To assist you as well as possible, we tailor our advice and your final result based on the specific roof category and colony size, avoiding any generic packages.
Starlings
With seasonal changes, starlings return to Argoed as problematic pest birds.
They infiltrate roof voids through narrower apertures than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof void build up a significant volume of waste and nesting debris.
Bird control solutions in Argoed
How do we deliver outstanding outcomes? We tailor our complete suite of bird control options according to the specific species, your property type, and the scale of the infestation!
We never offer suggestions prior to in person examining your premises and the particular problematic population.
Each of the site surveys is fully complimentary and carries absolutely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
To provide complete exclusion, bird netting blankets roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This protects everything, effectively denying access to roosting and nesting sites.
We deploy UV stable polyethylene net with mesh sizes tailored to each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Through utilising stainless steel anchor systems, these fixings are accurately tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Correctly installed netting stays virtually hidden from street level, providing a subtle and extremely effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To effectively deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are safely fitted on ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
They function by making the landing area feel uncomfortable, subtly deterring the birds rather than physically stopping them.
Whilst protecting valuable heritage and historic buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect option because their deterrent presence is kept almost entirely invisible.
Stainless steel offers superior durability, making it ideal for commercial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is valued over aesthetics.
We meticulously review the distinct needs of your premises prior to suggesting which particular product will deliver the optimal solution.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems operate? They tighten stainless steel wire between posts to leave ledges, balconies, and roof ridges completely unsafe for touching down!
Providing a very subtle profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly improper.
In need of the ideal discreet protection? Wire is ideal for attractive commercial and civic properties! It is brilliant for historic buildings too, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To prevent nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is installed in a small container situated on any area requiring focused protection.
Measuring a mere eight millimetres in height, it is fully hidden from human eyes on the floor, yet your resident bird population will definitely notice its presence.
Because avian species detect ultraviolet wavelengths, this purpose-made gel causes the structure appear to be on fire.
Where infestations are slight or moderate, we use mild methods to encourage the birds to move elsewhere.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings often access roof voids by taking advantage of entry points in ridge tiles, open soffits, and degraded fascias.
We protect these entry points using stainless steel mesh or specially made vent covers, determined by the aperture measurements and bird species.
Perform any required exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
