The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 wraps a protective regulatory embrace around all wild bird in the UK.
Did you know that disturbing roosts, clearing nests, or using damaging deterrents is an offence under the Act? Thankfully, this completely does not leave you without protection against pest bird populations!
Within Bowbrook, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control by implementing effective deterrent and exclusion methods that guarantee no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Bowbrook
Unwanted bird excrement generally carries a wide array of disease-causing organisms.
Dried pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a lung illness caught by inhaling tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
In work settings compromised by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a distinct threat to professional safety.
Did you know for Bowbrook food and hospitality sites, guano contamination results in strict regulatory compliance as well as critical health and safety hazards?
In addition to health hazards, bird droppings accumulate quickly within gutters, over roofing materials, and near drainage points.
First, the birds collect on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before roosting. As a result, their collected waste promotes stonework decay, blocks gutters, and poses hazardous slip hazards on the surfaces below.
When you allow bird issues untreated at a Bowbrook property, you see progressive structural damage and accumulating guano, which continually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Whatever winged species turns up, our bespoke systems guard your premises. Experience genuine peace of mind. We protect you and your local area from health hazards associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Bowbrook
In Bowbrook, commercial buildings experience the most conspicuous degradation from feral pigeons and seagulls, which use flat rooftops and outcrops for continual roosting shelter.
Starlings pose a yearly issue, getting into roof voids through openings that are much smaller than either species demands.
Prior before installing any attachments, our trained team meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This preparation is vital because dry guano presents serious health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
Below is a good cross-section of the varied avian species we handle on a everyday basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons regularly gather in large groups around our urban areas.
Producing upwards of six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership grows with astonishing speed. They soon take over any structure offering peaceful ledges or vacant roof spaces.
Did you know pigeons stubbornly revert to the same nesting and roosting spots? Standard dispersal tactics do nothing at all to end that loop!
Managing pigeon populations in Bowbrook calls for physical exclusion systems that entirely prohibit landing, thereby encouraging the birds to inhabit different territories.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls alongside lesser black-backed gulls have successfully established themselves in interior territories, to become firmly established breeding groups throughout Bowbrook and the broader Midlands.
Establishing dense nests on level rooftops, these clamorous birds exhibit hostile behaviour during their reproductive season, which usually spans from April until August.
With the birds’ significant mass, gulls need robust post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting. Less robust pigeon deterrents simply cannot fall short here.
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are meticulously customised to meet the needs of each particular location.
We develop bespoke options and advice specified to your roof type and colony size instead of providing generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings constitute a periodic nuisance bird within Bowbrook.
They enter unprotected roof voids through crevices far narrower than a pigeon needs, using open ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a substantial volume of faeces and nesting debris.
Bird control solutions in Bowbrook
How can we provide excellent results? We tailor our full suite of bird control options depending on the specific species, the property type, and the scale of the infestation!
How would we ever suggest answers without examining your site and the affected population first?
We provide every site survey entirely free, with no obligation to continue.
Bird netting
Searching for the ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Want the best protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net provides bespoke mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Robust stainless steel anchor systems reliably tighten these fixings into stonework, metal, or timber.
Once correctly fitted, netting remains virtually unseen from the street below, offering a highly subtle yet extremely effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To stop birds from perching, we install bird spikes on pipework, sills, signage, outcrops, and low walls.
These function by turning the landing surface highly uncomfortable rather than creating a solid barrier to the birds.
Choose polycarbonate spikes for use on heritage and listed buildings to minimise the noticeable appearance of the deterrent installation.
In workshop or commercial settings, stainless steel offers outstanding durability, making it the perfect selection when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over aesthetic appeal.
By carefully analysing the particular needs of your location first, we guarantee our subsequent product recommendation is ideally tailored.
Bird wire
By making use of tensioned stainless steel wire secured amid posts, bird wire systems establish a structurally 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 paramount. It also preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly inappropriate.
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 not acceptable.
Bird free gel
To halt unwanted bird activity, simply and easily place the brilliant Bird Free gel dish upon almost any surface area you want to protect!
At just a mere 8mm in height, it remains virtually invisible from ground level whilst being readily perceived by the local bird population.
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this clever gel makes the building seem like it is fully on fire!
When avian gatherings are kept limited, we will subtly persuade these winged visitors to seek homes in another place.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Typically, starlings and sparrows penetrate roof spaces through compromised ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias.
We protect these entry points using mesh or specially made vent covers, determined by the aperture measurements and bird species.
