The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 offers a statutory regulatory embrace around each and every wild bird in the UK.
Under the legislation, interfering with roosting birds, destroying nests, or deploying harmful deterrents amounts to an illegal act. Nevertheless, strong legal options still exist to protect your property against pest bird populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides professional bird control in Ashfield, using non-harmful deterrent and exclusion methods to protect protected birds from injury.

Health risks from pest birds in Ashfield
Pest bird droppings unseenly harbour a hazardous array of pathogens.
Were you aware dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory infection is spread through inhaling infected dust or contact with contaminated surfaces!
Initially, we must recognise ornithosis as a serious occupational hazard in places with ongoing bird infestations.
Did you know for Ashfield food and hospitality sites, guano contamination results in strict regulatory compliance as well as critical health and safety hazards?
Apart from carrying disease, guano rapidly collects inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before setting up their roosts, birds gather on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving behind corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, obstructs drainage channels, and creates hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Ashfield property ultimately escalates structural damage, increases hazardous guano accumulation, and substantially inflates the ultimate cost of the necessary mitigation installation over time.
Whichever winged species arrives, our bespoke systems protect your premises. Enjoy genuine peace of mind. We safeguard you and your community from health hazards caused by birds.
Pest bird species in Ashfield
Feral pigeons and gulls result in the most obvious damage on Ashfield’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges offer them continual roosting shelter.
Starling birds create a seasonal hazard, accessing roof voids through more restricted openings than either birds.
During every bird service, our technicians thoroughly remove every guano and nest material before adding any fixings. This vital preparation is vital because disturbed dry guano poses serious health risks, whilst discarded nesting material frequently attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
These are a few of the bird species we manage daily.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons regularly congregate in large numbers around our city neighbourhoods.
Did you realise pigeon pairs can produce up to 6 clutches each year? They increase very quickly on any building with uninterrupted perches or loft spaces!
Because pigeons repeatedly come back to their usual nesting and roosting locations, surface-level dispersal methods are unable to disrupt this deeply ingrained behaviour pattern.
Successful pigeon control in Ashfield depends on physical exclusion systems that prevent landing completely, forcing the birds to relocate elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Extending their range far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have since become firmly established nesters throughout Ashfield and the wider Midlands.
Did you realise these loud birds nest on level roofs in large colonies? Watch out, as they become very aggressive during breeding season from April to August!
Gulls outweigh pigeons, required for post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lesser deterrents adequate for pigeon control.
We precisely adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to meet each individual site.
Rather than offering a standard, general package, we meticulously tailor our professional advice and your custom solution based upon the roof structure and colony size.
Starlings
We identify starlings as a seasonal pest bird within Ashfield.
You will find they get into roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, faulty soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Imagine the huge volume of faeces and nesting debris a starling roost generates inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Ashfield
Every sanctuary requires careful protection. We design varied bird control systems, tailoring each response to the specific species, the unique structure, and the true scale of the infestation.
Our process commences by inspecting your site and the problem population before we propose any answers.
Each of the site surveys are entirely complimentary and carries absolutely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
In need of a ultimate shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the fullest exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our company installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions set for particular species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless steel anchor systems tension the fixings straight into masonry, steel or timber.
Correctly installed netting remains virtually invisible from the street, offering a low-profile and extremely effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
How do we prevent unwanted landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
These function by rendering the landing surface very unpleasant rather than creating a tangible barrier to the birds.
When preserving heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect solution to make sure the essential deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
For punishing industrial landscapes where withstanding relentless dirt outweighs aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the best choice. It just lasts.
We thoroughly evaluate the specific demands of your premises prior to recommending which specific product will deliver the optimal solution.
Bird wire
By utilising tensioned stainless steel wire secured among posts, bird wire systems create a structurally unstable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most most discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is paramount, whilst also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Offering an barely visible shield, wire elegantly maintains the appearance of notable municipal and retail properties. It effectively shields historic facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly unthinkable.
Bird free gel
To halt unwanted bird activity, just place the genius Bird Free gel dish upon any surface area you want to safeguard!
Standing at a mere 8mm, who could possibly spot it from the ground? People will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population certainly won’t!
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this ingenious gel makes the building appear as if it is fully on fire!
To address minor infestations, we carefully encourage the birds to move to alternative locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings regularly access roof voids by taking advantage of gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and degraded fascias.
Need these openings secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers matched to the gap size and bird species!
How do we adhere to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We schedule exclusion work beyond active nesting seasons!
