In the UK, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legally safeguards all wild bird.
Though the relevant legislation explicitly prohibits destroying nests, interfering with roosting birds, or installing harmful deterrents, you still retain permitted and practical means of safeguarding your property from nuisance avian populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides professional bird control in Bordesley Green, using kind deterrent and exclusion methods to safeguard protected birds from harm.

Health risks from pest birds in Bordesley Green
Faeces from pest birds frequently harbour a varied selection of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that brings about ornithosis, a respiratory disease contracted via the inhalation of tainted dust or direct contact with infected surfaces and objects.
In occupational environments compromised by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a specific threat to occupational safety.
For hospitality and food firms in Bordesley Green, dealing with guano contamination involves working within strict statutory standards in as well as addressing the primary health risks.
Disease aside, guano gathers at remarkable speed across gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage points!
Before nesting, avian species habitually gather on architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that directly hastens the deterioration of stonework, clogs drainage gutters, and creates treacherous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Bordesley Green property escalates property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs a lot more the longer you delay.
Pestered by birds? Regardless of the species, our brilliant bespoke systems reliably protect you, your property, and everyone on site from unpleasant health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Bordesley Green
Feral pigeons and seagulls inflict the most conspicuous damage on Bordesley Green commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary upon their flat rooftops and edges.
Coming back with the seasons, starlings make their way into roof voids through gaps much narrower than both requires.
Prior to installing any attachments, our expert specialists thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This preparation is essential because dry guano poses major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material regularly attracts secondary infestations to the treated area.
Here are some of the bird species we manage daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons really love to assemble in huge flocks throughout bustling city centre areas!
A lone breeding pair of pigeons can produce six broods annually, which means that populations escalate rapidly on any premises with peaceful ledges or undisturbed loft spaces.
Driven by a powerful instinct, pigeons persistently reoccupy their chosen sanctuaries, meaning simple dispersal tactics will not ever break this deeply ingrained behaviour.
Effective pigeon management in Bordesley Green depends on physical exclusion systems that completely prohibit alighting, thereby leading these birds to seek alternative habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Spreading their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have already become established nesters throughout Bordesley Green and the wider Midlands.
Gathered in crowded colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn fiercely hostile during their breeding season, a fraught period extending from April until August.
Due to their greater mass when compared with pigeons, gulls need post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the weaker deterrents sufficient for pigeon management.
We carefully adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each individual site.
Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all, generic package, we carefully customise our professional advice and your custom solution based upon roof structure and the colony size.
Starlings
We recognise starlings as a periodic pest bird within Bordesley Green.
You can see these birds enter roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Tucked away within a roof space, a starling roost collects vast, undesirable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the season.
Bird control solutions in Bordesley Green
We install a wide-ranging range of bird control systems, adapting our approach to the specific species, property design, and general scale of the infestation.
We never give recommendations prior to personally assessing your premises and the specific concerned population.
Every initial property assessment is entirely complimentary, with absolutely no requirement for any commitment.
Bird netting
As the final exclusion technique, bird netting covers roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to stop birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Our specialist UV stable polyethylene net is precisely sized for each species, fitting 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Sturdy stainless steel anchor systems securely tighten these fixings into stonework, metal, or timber.
Once securely fitted, the netting remains almost invisible from ground level, providing a very unobtrusive and reliable bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To properly remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are securely fixed on sills, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
Instead of physically barricading the avian guests, they simply render the landing experience very disagreeable.
Opt for polycarbonate spikes for heritage and listed buildings to limit the visual impact of the deterrent installation.
In workshop or commercial settings, stainless steel offers outstanding hardiness, which makes it the best option when enduring heavy dirt is valued over looks.
We fully review your area’s unique needs first to recommend the most suitable product.
Bird wire
By making use of tensioned stainless steel wire secured amid posts, bird wire systems create a unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a very unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It equally protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally improper.
First, wire offers the least conspicuous solution for commercial and civic properties where appearance is essential. Secondly, this choice protects historic sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is not suitable.
Bird free gel
To stop unwanted bird activity, simply put the innovative Bird Free gel dish onto almost any surface you want to shield!
At a height of a mere 8mm high, this profile stays practically imperceptible from the ground to humans, yet your local avian population will definitely notice its presence.
Birds see ultraviolet light, so this gel causes the building appear like it is being ablaze.
Are you experiencing small bird issues? We would be pleased to persuade them to find another home!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Generally, starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces through compromised ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and damaged fascias.
We close off these entry points using stainless steel mesh or correct vent covers, selected to match the specific bird species and opening size.
To safeguard wild refuges, exclusion works must be arranged exclusively outside the active nesting season, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
