Pursuant to the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete protection under law.
Did you know that disturbing roosts, removing nests, or using damaging deterrents is an offence within the Act? Thankfully, this certainly does not leave you defenceless against pest bird populations!
Birmingham Pest Control Co. deploys professional bird control in Bournville, using humane deterrent and exclusion methods to shield protected birds from damage.

Health risks from pest birds in Bournville
Were you aware pest bird droppings are really packed with a wide range of pathogens?
Dried pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
First, we must acknowledge ornithosis as a serious occupational hazard in places with active bird infestations.
Bournville food and hospitality operators face tight regulatory liability as well as the serious health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Apart from spreading disease, guano rapidly accumulates inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Do you sometimes notice birds congregating on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before roosting? Their unsightly droppings also accelerate stonework decay, block gutters, and cause serious slip hazards on walkways below!
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Bournville property? You face increasing building damage, building up guano, and a vital installation job that becomes pricier the longer you wait!
Regardless of the avian type, our bespoke proactive strategies ensure that you and your property, your premises, and the occupants therein stay fully shielded from bird-related health hazards.
Pest bird species in Bournville
Feral pigeons and gulls cause the most noticeable damage on Bournville’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges give them permanent roosting shelter.
Returning each season, starlings enter roof voids through gaps much narrower than either one requires.
During every bird service, our technicians thoroughly remove every guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This vital preparation is crucial because dry disturbed guano poses significant health risks, whilst discarded nesting material often attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Which wonderful feathered species do we look after every single day? Have a look!
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons really love to gather in huge numbers throughout crowded city centre areas!
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can raise up to six broods each year, their population increases rapidly upon any structure offering protected ledges or unoccupied roof voids.
As pigeons regularly come back to their familiar nest and roost locations, basic dispersal measures are unable to interrupt this hardwired behavioural pattern.
How do we tackle pigeon control in Bournville? Careful physical exclusion installations prevent them landing at all, gently encouraging them to find another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have safely migrated inland, establishing permanent nesting populations across Bournville and the wider Midlands.
Those noisy birds nest in thick colonies on flat roofs, and becoming aggressive during their breeding season from April to August.
Seagulls outweigh pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon control.
We adapt every gull colony bird control system for the individual setting.
Instead of utilising a regular one-size-fits-all formula, we meticulously adapt our specialist guidance and final resolution to suit your exact roof type and colony size.
Starlings
Starlings constitute a seasonal nuisance bird within Bournville.
They slip into roof voids through even smaller gaps than pigeons can, rapidly using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof space will generate large quantities of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Bournville
How do we achieve brilliant results? We customise our full suite of bird control options according to the exact species, your property type, and the scale of the infestation!
No proper recommendation is ever offered until we first survey your location and assess the unwanted presence firsthand.
We offer all site surveys at no cost, with no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
As the most complete technique of avian exclusion, bird netting protects roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to prevent pest birds any nesting or roosting chances.
Our business installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions specified for specific species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we secure fixings into stone, metal, or timber? Yes, using corrosion-resistant anchor systems!
When correctly fitted, netting remains practically imperceptible from the pavement, offering a highly advanced and effective avian control method.
Bird spikes
To completely remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are professionally fitted on ledges parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, windowsills and adjacent areas, pipes and nearby fixtures, and signage.
Rather than physically barricading the avian guests, they merely render the landing experience extremely disagreeable.
As safeguarding valuable heritage assets and protected buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect solution because their protective presence is kept largely out of sight.
In workshop or business settings, stainless steel delivers impressive hardiness, making it the ideal selection when enduring heavy dirt is valued over looks.
We thoroughly evaluate the particular requirements of your premises prior to advising which specific product will offer the optimal solution.
Bird wire
To readily deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems utilise tightened stainless steel wire between posts, creating an unsteady landing surface on horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is paramount, whilst also protecting historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
This option provides the discreetest deterrent for public and commercial buildings with an emphasis on visual appeal. This also safeguards listed facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Presented in a smart dish, Bird Free gel remains unobtrusively on any surface requiring defence against unwanted avian intrusion.
Standing a mere eight millimetres tall, it remains entirely hidden from humanly visible eyes on the floor, yet your resident bird population will definitely notice its presence.
For avian eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this particular gel makes the building look to be furiously ablaze.
To deal with minor infestations, we gently direct the birds to move to different locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How do starlings and sparrows get into roof spaces? They use soffits left open, broken fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles!
We seal these entry points using stainless steel mesh or correct vent covers, chosen to match the relevant bird species and opening size.
To help ensure full observance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully plan any exclusion work beyond the active nesting period.
