In the United Kingdom, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legally safeguards all wild bird.
Law strictly bans harming nests, disturbing roosting birds, or applying harmful deterrents. Fortunately, you yet have a number of secure and legal options at hand to control nuisance bird populations efficiently.
Providing specialist avian management within Bloomfield, Birmingham Pest Control Co. uses highly successful deterrent and exclusion systems aimed to cause no harm to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Bloomfield
Mess from pest birds carry a wide variety of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a lung illness acquired by inhaling tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
First, we need to identify ornithosis as a major occupational hazard in areas with current bird infestations.
This adds a degree of legal oversight for hospitality and food establishments within Bloomfield, worsening the serious health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Aside from health risks, guano collects rapidly in guttering, on roof coverings, and around drainage outlets.
Before getting to roost, birds collect along ledges, parapets, and roof lines. Below them, accumulating waste quietly accelerates decay in the stonework, chokes gutters, and turns the walkways below into highly slick hazards.
Neglecting avian pests at a Bloomfield premises leads to compounding structural deterioration, growing guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become increasingly more expensive over time.
Irrespective of the avian species, our tailored plans ensure that your property, staff, and tenants remain completely shielded against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Bloomfield
Feral pigeons and gulls inflict the most obvious damage on Bloomfield’s commercial buildings. Level rooftops and ledges give these pests with ongoing roosting shelter.
Starlings create a recurring problem, accessing roof voids through spaces that are considerably smaller than either species needs.
Prior to installing any attachments, our expert team meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This step is important because dry guano presents significant health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often draws secondary infestations to the treated area.
Below is a representative sample of the wide-ranging avian species we handle on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons really enjoy to gather in large flocks throughout busy city downtown areas!
Are you aware a pigeon pair can raise up to 6 broods annually? Their numbers increase incredibly fast on virtually any structure with unoccupied shelves or roof spaces!
These birds predictably revisit established nesting and resting sites, which means short-term dispersal methods do not manage to disrupt their repeated behaviour.
Successful pigeon management in Bloomfield depends on physical exclusion systems that entirely prevent alighting, thereby leading these birds to find different habitats in another location.
Seagulls and gulls
Both effectively expanded deeper inland, remaining as permanent nesting residents throughout Bloomfield and the nearby Midlands.
These loud birds nest in thick colonies on flat roofs, becoming territorial during their breeding season from April to August.
Seagulls outweigh pigeons, required for post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon control.
We adapt each gull colony bird control system for the specific site.
To help you most effectively, 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 Bloomfield as problematic pest birds.
They squeeze into roof voids through even smaller gaps than pigeons can, quickly exploiting open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof space will generate significant amounts of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Bloomfield
Every refuge merits protection. We coordinate diverse bird control systems, adapting each response to the relevant species, the individual structure, and the true scale of the infestation.
We simply offer specialist advice after personally examining your actual site and the particular population in question.
We conduct all site surveys without charge with no commitment obligatory.
Bird netting
Searching for a best shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, shielding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our professional UV stable polyethylene net is precisely sized for each species, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Sturdy stainless steel anchor systems reliably tension these fixings into brickwork, steel, or wood.
See up! Expertly installed netting is almost not visible from the street, delivering an highly unobtrusive and effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To stop birds from settling, we place bird spikes on pipework, windowsills, signage, ridges, and parapets.
They deter birds by turning landing surfaces unpleasant instead of blocking them.
When preserving heritage and listed properties, polycarbonate spikes offer the ideal solution to help ensure the necessary deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
Because of its excellent resilience, stainless steel represents the optimal choice for commercial or commercial settings where practical longevity despite heavy contamination outweighs aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly review the distinct needs of your premises before suggesting which particular product will provide the most suitable solution.
Bird wire
By employing taut stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems reliably create an unsuitable landing area across level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It also preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally inappropriate.
Searching for the perfect discreet deterrent? Wire is excellent for attractive commercial and civic structures! It is ideal for historic buildings too, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To halt unwanted bird activity, simply and easily place the brilliant Bird Free gel dish upon almost any area you want to shield!
Standing a mere 8mm high, this profile remains practically imperceptible at ground level to humans, yet your local avian population will definitely recognise its presence.
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this clever gel causes the building to look like it is fully on fire!
In cases of low-level avian activity, we employ mild discouragement to nudge their departure.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Typically, starlings and sparrows penetrate roof spaces through damaged ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
We seal these entry points using stainless steel mesh or suitable vent covers, selected to suit the particular bird species and opening size.
To guarantee complete adherence to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, all exclusionary measures must be scheduled away from the active nesting season.
