Health risks from pest birds in Aston Fields
Pest bird droppings quietly contain a hazardous array of pathogens.
Please understand that dehydrated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory condition contracted by breathing in infected dust or handling soiled surfaces.
Did you know that ornithosis is an important workplace health risk whenever bird infestations are present?
This adds a degree of legal oversight for hospitality and food establishments within Aston Fields, compounding the significant health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Aside from health risks, guano collects rapidly in gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage areas.
Before breeding, avian species habitually congregate along architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that significantly hastens the deterioration of stonework, blocks drainage gutters, and creates treacherous slip hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Aston Fields property inevitably worsens structural damage, worsens hazardous guano accumulation, and significantly inflates the eventual cost of the essential mitigation installation over time.
Regardless of the particular avian species, our customised plans will effectively protect you and your property, the building, and everyone nearby from the different health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Aston Fields
Feral pigeons and seagulls inflict the most visible disruption on Aston Fields commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary upon their flat rooftops and ledges.
As a seasonal nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through considerably smaller gaps than either of those species!
Our technicians always remove guano and nest material ahead of installing fixings. Aroused dry guano poses urgent health hazards, and left nest material swiftly attracts secondary infestations to the area.
These are only a few of the magnificent bird species we care for daily.
Feral pigeons
Large numbers of feral pigeons gather throughout our busy urban spaces.
To start, a single breeding pair of pigeons can raise six clutches annually, which lets their population to increase quickly on properties with sheltered ledges or roof spaces.
Pigeons reliably go back to established breeding and roosting sites, which means short-term dispersal methods do not manage to disrupt their habitual behaviour.
Managing pigeon populations in Aston Fields requires physical barriers that fully prohibit landing, thereby prompting the birds to inhabit other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Several steadily expanded deeper inland, settling as permanent breeding residents throughout Aston Fields and the nearby Midlands.
Did you realise these noisy birds settle on level roofs in crowded groups? Be careful, as they grow highly territorial during mating season from April to August!
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls require robust post and wire systems or heavier-duty netting over the less robust deterrents utilised for standard pigeon control.
We passionately customise the bird control systems for every single unique gull colony location!
To assist you best, we customise our advice and your final outcome based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
With seasonal changes, starlings return to Aston Fields as troublesome pest birds.
They gain access to roof voids through more limited apertures than pigeons, taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void accumulate a considerable amount of faeces and nesting debris.
Bird control solutions in Aston Fields
We systematically select from our comprehensive range of bird control procedures, tailoring each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the extent of the infestation.
No proper recommendation is ever suggested until we first of all assess your property and review the problem issue firsthand.
Our surveys are completely complimentary, leaving you under no requirement to go ahead.
Bird netting
To achieve the highest level of protection, bird netting effectively secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which reliably blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
Need the ultimate protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net provides bespoke mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Stainless-steel anchor systems secure the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
When expertly fitted, netting stays virtually imperceptible from ground level, providing a very discreet yet efficient avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
To properly eliminate landing surfaces, bird spikes are securely fitted on ledgес, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These function by rendering the landing surface extremely unpleasant rather than putting up a physical barrier to the birds.
To safeguard the delicate visual character of historic and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the preferred choice for delivering an exceptionally discreet deterrent fitting.
For tough industrial landscapes where enduring relentless dirt outweighs aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the best choice. It truly lasts.
To help you make the most suitable choice, we carefully assess your specific space before suggesting the best suited product.
Bird wire
By tightening stainless steel wire between slim posts, bird wire systems smoothly transform exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into highly unsafe landing surfaces.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where looks is key, whilst also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Offering an barely visible shield, wire beautifully retains the design of notable public and retail properties. It discreetly protects period heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is simply unthinkable.
Bird free gel
To discourage nuisance bird behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed in a small container placed upon any surface requiring targeted protection.
Measuring a modest eight millimetres in height, it remains completely hidden from human eyes on the floor, yet the resident bird population will certainly notice its presence.
Due to bird sensitivity to UV light, this specially formulated gel causes the building to look as though it is ablaze.
We prompt the birds to relocate during minor or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings often enter roof voids by taking advantage of openings in ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and damaged fascias.
We close off these entry points using stainless steel mesh or appropriate vent covers, selected to suit the particular bird species and opening size.
Perform any required exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to remain compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
