The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act provides a legal regulatory embrace around each and every wild bird in the UK.
Did you know that disturbing roosts, taking away nests, or using harmful deterrents is an offence according to the Act? Luckily, this certainly does not leave you defenceless against pest bird populations!

Health risks from pest birds in Blackmore
Unwanted bird excrement typically contains a wide selection of disease-causing organisms.
Desiccated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the harmful pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by breathing in tainted dust or touching compromised surfaces.
In work spaces compromised by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a specific hazard to occupational wellbeing.
This introduces a level of official supervision for hospitality and food establishments within Blackmore, intensifying the major safety and health hazards of guano contamination.
Putting health risks aside, guano accumulates quickly in gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage outlets.
Before coming to roost, birds gather along ledging, parapets, and roof borders. Under them, accumulating droppings quietly speeds up decay in the stonework, clogs gutters, and transforms the walkways below into extremely slick hazards.
Overlooking avian pests at a Blackmore premises causes increasing structural deterioration, escalating guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become progressively more expensive over time.
Regardless of the avian type, our bespoke preventative strategies help ensure that you, your premises, and the occupants therein stay fully protected from bird related health hazards.
Pest bird species in Blackmore
Wild pigeons and seagulls cause the clearest harm on Blackmore commercial properties, finding permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and ledges.
Starlings pose a seasonal hazard, entering roof voids through smaller openings than any alternative species of bird.
During every bird service, our technicians meticulously remove all guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This essential preparation is vital because dry disturbed guano poses substantial health risks, whilst abandoned nesting material frequently attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Below is a broad range of the varied avian species we manage day to day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons regularly assemble in large densities in metropolitan environments.
Did you realise a pigeon pair can raise up to six broods each year? They grow very quickly on virtually any structure with undisturbed shelves or roof spaces!
Because pigeons repeatedly go back to their familiar nesting and roosting sites, surface-level dispersal measures are unable to disrupt this deeply ingrained behaviour pattern.
Controlling pigeon populations in Blackmore necessitates exclusion systems that fully prohibit landing, thereby causing the birds to inhabit alternative territories.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully migrated inland, forming permanent nesting populations throughout the area of Blackmore and the greater Midlands.
Forming dense nests on level rooftops, these noisy birds exhibit territorial behaviour during their reproductive season, which typically spans from April until August.
As gulls are much heavier than pigeons, you must implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than less robust pigeon control methods.
We carefully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each individual location.
To assist you as well as possible, we customise our advice and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
With seasonal changes, starlings return to Blackmore as troublesome pest birds.
They slip into unprotected roof voids through openings far narrower than a pigeon would need, taking advantage of loose ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Over the space of a year, starlings roosting within a roof void accumulate substantial amounts of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Blackmore
We deliver a thorough suite of avian management techniques, precisely tailored to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall extent of the infestation.
No solution is ever actually suggested until we first assess your property and evaluate the problem issue in person.
Every first property assessment is entirely complimentary, carrying absolutely no need for future commitment.
Bird netting
Looking for a ultimate shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most comprehensive exclusion system, shielding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our approach pairs UV stable polyethylene net for each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Utilising stainless steel anchor systems ensures these fixings are securely tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Properly installed netting stays virtually invisible from the street, delivering a discreet and highly effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledged surfaces, roof edges, sills, pipes and fittings, and signs takes away places to land.
Instead of physically barricading the avian guests, they merely render the landing experience highly disagreeable.
To preserve the fine appearance of historic and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the ideal choice for delivering an remarkably unobtrusive deterrent installation.
For tough industrial landscapes where withstanding relentless dirt is more important than aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the best choice. It simply endures.
To help you make the right choice, we thoroughly assess your specific space before proposing the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems secure stainless steel wire between posts to establish an insecure landing surface across ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is key, while also protecting historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
In need of the ideal discreet protection? Wire is excellent for stylish commercial and civic buildings! It is brilliant for historic buildings also, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Attach the compact-sized Bird Free gel dish on any surface needing guarding from problem bird activity.
At just a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, yet your bird population surely will.
Because many birds see ultraviolet light, this special gel causes the building seem to them as if it is on fire.
Are you dealing with minor bird issues? We will happily encourage them to find another home!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings frequently penetrate roof voids by using openings in ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and damaged fascias.
Protecting these ingress points from avian pests utilises stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, picked according to the aperture dimensions and the particular species.
To help ensure full compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should properly arrange any exclusion work beyond the active nesting period.
