The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 provides a legal lawful embrace around all wild bird in the UK.
Whilst dismantling nests, interfering with roosts, or applying harmful measures constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are in no way left unprotected against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
Within Arleston, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers specialist bird control by using effective deterrent and exclusion methods that help ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Arleston
Pest bird faeces contain numerous pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano quietly contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by inhalation of tainted dust or coming into contact with polluted surfaces.
Ornithosis represents a serious occupational health hazard within commercial environments subject to avian infestations.
Did you know that food and hospitality sites, guano contamination brings about strict regulatory compliance in addition to critical health and safety hazards?
Apart from biological hazards, guano quickly accumulates in gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Birds occupy perches, wall tops, and eaves before roosting. The ensuing droppings beneath these areas increase stonework decay, clog gutters, and cause immediate slip risks on pedestrian walkways below.
Ignoring avian pests at a Arleston premises results in worsening structural deterioration, rising guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become increasingly more expensive over time.
Pestered by birds? No matter the species, our brilliant bespoke systems reliably protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Arleston
In Arleston, commercial premises suffer the most conspicuous degradation from feral pigeons and seagulls, which use horizontal rooftops and ledges for ongoing roosting shelter.
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings enter roof voids through more limited openings than alternative species.
Our technicians regularly remove guano and nest material prior to fitting fixings. Moved dry guano poses urgent health risks, and left nest material rapidly draws secondary infestations to the area.
These are some of the bird species we manage every day.
Feral pigeons
Huge groups of feral pigeons congregate across our bustling city spaces.
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can rear up to six broods annually, their population increases rapidly on any structure offering uninterrupted ledges or empty roof voids.
When addressing this issue, we need to acknowledge that pigeons regularly revisit to their selected nesting areas, so that short-term dispersal measures are unable to change their patterns.
Effective pigeon management in Arleston is based on physical exclusion systems that entirely stop alighting, thereby prompting these birds to find other habitats in other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have extended their range inland, creating lasting nesting colonies across Arleston and the broader Midlands.
Creating dense nests on level rooftops, these noisy birds exhibit hostile behaviour during their reproductive season, which usually spans from April until August.
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls demand sturdy post and wire systems or heavy duty netting over the less robust deterrents used for regular pigeon control.
Our systems for bird control for gull colonies are carefully customised to suit each specific location.
We develop bespoke approaches and guidance specified to your roof type and colony size rather than deploying generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings certainly are a problematic annual pest bird in Arleston!
Getting into roof voids via tighter entry points than pigeons need, they capitalise on open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof space will create a considerable amount of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Arleston
Every haven deserves careful protection. We coordinate varied bird control systems, adapting each response to the particular species, the distinct structure, and the full scale of the infestation.
We never offer recommendations prior to in person assessing your premises and the relevant problematic population.
Every first property assessment is entirely free, carrying absolutely no requirement for any commitment.
Bird netting
As the most comprehensive technique of avian exclusion, bird netting protects roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to prevent pest birds any nesting or roosting chances.
Want the best protection? The UV stable polyethylene net offers tailored mesh sizes, featuring 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
By employing stainless steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
When properly fitted, netting remains practically imperceptible from the pavement, delivering a highly sophisticated and successful avian control method.
Bird spikes
To effectively deny birds a landing space, bird spikes are installed to ledges, wall tops, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
How do they function? They make landing very uncomfortable as opposed to physically blocking the birds!
When protecting heritage and listed properties, polycarbonate spikes offer the ideal choice to help ensure the required deterrent remains entirely unobtrusive.
For harsh industrial landscapes where surviving relentless dirt is more important than aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the most suitable choice. It truly lasts.
We carefully review your site’s individual requirements first to suggest the most suitable product.
Bird wire
By using tensioned stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems create a structurally unstable landing surface across level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits commercial and civic architecture where appearance is essential, whilst also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Searching for the perfect discreet protection? Wire is perfect for stylish commercial and civic properties! It is brilliant for historic buildings also, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To deter unwanted avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is installed in a small container positioned on any area requiring targeted protection.
Standing a mere 8mm tall, this profile remains almost imperceptible from ground level to humans, yet your local avian population will definitely detect its presence.
Because most birds can perceive ultraviolet light, this specialised gel makes the building appear to them as if it were on fire.
We encourage the birds to move during minor or average infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias, starlings often enter roof spaces.
Protecting these unprotected gaps requires stainless steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, chosen specifically to suit the scale and species of pest.
Undertake all exclusion work outside the active nesting season to comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
