Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects each and every wild bird in the UK!
While the relevant legislation explicitly prohibits removing nests, disturbing roosting birds, or using dangerous deterrents, you still retain lawful and reliable means of protecting your property from nuisance avian populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides expert bird control across Birch Green, using proven deterrent and exclusion methods executed to ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Birch Green
Pest bird faeces harbour various pathogens.
Were you aware dried pigeon droppings carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This infection is spread via inhalation of contaminated dust or touching contaminated surfaces!
Initially, we need to acknowledge ornithosis as a major occupational hazard in locations with active bird infestations.
This brings a level of official monitoring for food and hospitality establishments within Birch Green, compounding the serious health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
In addition to health risks, bird droppings accumulate quickly inside gutters, over roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before getting to roost, birds collect along edges, parapets, and roof lines. Below them, accumulating droppings quietly accelerates decay in the stonework, blocks gutters, and transforms the walkways below into highly slick hazards.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Birch Green property can invite increasing structural damage and growing guano, ensuring the essential installation job only becomes increasingly expensive as time moves on.
Irrespective of the avian species, our tailored approaches help ensure that your site, staff, and occupants remain thoroughly protected against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Birch Green
Wild pigeons and seagulls cause the most visible damage on Birch Green commercial properties, finding permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and edges.
Coming back each season, starlings enter roof voids through gaps much narrower than either species requires.
Our experts regularly clear guano and nest material prior to fitting fixings. Moved dry guano presents instant health concerns, and left nest material quickly draws secondary infestations to the area.
Please explore this selection of the avian species we routinely manage on a daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons routinely gather in substantial numbers in urban environments.
One pigeon pair raises up to six annual nests. Numbers increase quickly on any structure with quiet ledges or empty roof voids.
Did you know pigeons persistently revert to the same nesting and roosting spots? Basic dispersal tactics do nothing at all to end that loop!
Effective pigeon control in Birch Green needs physical exclusion systems that block landing completely, making the birds to relocate elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls alongside lesser black-backed gulls have safely established themselves in central territories, becoming long-established breeding groups throughout Birch Green and the greater Midlands.
Congregating in dense colonies upon horizontal roof spaces, these raucous birds exhibit highly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which usually extends from April until August.
Gulls are heavier than pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lighter deterrents adequate for pigeon control.
Every location is different, so we tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies on an individual basis.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all, basic package, we meticulously adapt our expert advice and your custom solution based upon roof structure and colony size.
Starlings
Starling birds are a seasonal nuisance bird within Birch Green.
They enter exposed roof voids through crevices far smaller than a pigeon would need, exploiting loose ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and split fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up large volumes of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Birch Green
Every haven merits protection. We orchestrate a range of bird control systems, adapting each response to the relevant species, the distinct structure, and the actual scale of the infestation.
Our process commences by reviewing your site and the target population before we suggest any answers.
We offer all site surveys entirely free, with no pressure to go ahead.
Bird netting
As the most comprehensive approach of avian exclusion, bird netting successfully shields roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to prevent birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our method matches UV stable polyethylene net for every species, with 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Utilising stainless steel anchor systems makes sure these fixings are firmly tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once properly fitted, the netting remains practically hard to see from the street, providing a highly discreet and reliable bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
How do we stop unwanted landing spots? We install bird spikes onto ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
These work by making the landing surface very unpleasant rather than putting up a tangible barrier to the birds.
Select polycarbonate spikes for heritage and listed buildings to reduce the noticeable appearance of the deterrent installation.
In commercial or business spaces where withstanding fouling is given priority over visual appeal, stainless steel offers superior durability and lengthened working life.
We carefully assess the distinct demands of your premises before advising which particular product will offer the most suitable solution.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems secure stainless steel wire between posts to form an unstable landing surface across raised ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where visual appeal is paramount, while also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
This option provides a highly discreet deterrent for public and commercial buildings with an emphasis on aesthetics. It also safeguards historic facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Presented in a neat dish, Bird Free gel remains unobtrusively on any surface requiring defence against unsought avian intrusion.
Being positioned at a mere 8mm, who could ever spot it from the ground? Humans will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population certainly won’t!
For bird eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this particular gel makes the building look to be vividly ablaze.
Are you experiencing slight bird issues? We will gladly help them to move on!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings frequently access roof voids by using entry points in ridge tiles, open soffits, and degraded fascias.
Need these openings secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
To help ensure full adherence with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should closely arrange any exclusion work away from the active nesting period.
