Under the terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete legal protection.
Whilst destroying nests, disturbing roosts, or using harmful measures constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are certainly not left without recourse against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
Within Brandwood, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers expert bird control by applying effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Brandwood
Mess from pest birds contain a large number of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that causes ornithosis, a lung disease contracted via the inhalation of tainted dust or physical contact with infected surfaces and objects.
Ornithosis represents a major workplace health concern within commercial environments affected by avian infestations.
For hotel and catering firms in Brandwood, handling guano contamination involves navigating strict statutory standards in along with addressing the key health risks.
In addition to health hazards, bird droppings build up swiftly inside gutters, across roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before setting up their roosts, birds congregate on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving behind corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, blocks drainage channels, and poses hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
When you allow bird issues unsolved at a Brandwood property, you see progressive structural damage and accumulating guano, which steadily increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Whatever the avian species, our tailored plans ensure that your site, team, and residents remain completely protected against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Brandwood
Wild pigeons and seagulls cause the most conspicuous disruption on Brandwood commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary upon their flat rooftops and edges.
Characterised as a seasonal challenge, starlings reach roof voids through smaller openings than alternative species.
During each bird service, our technicians carefully remove every guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This vital preparation is vital because dry guano when disturbed poses substantial health risks, whilst discarded nesting material frequently attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
These are only a small number of the magnificent bird species we care for daily.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons frequently congregate in large groups around our urban areas.
A lone breeding pair of pigeons can produce six broods annually, which means that populations increase rapidly on any premises with peaceful ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
Driven by a powerful instinct, pigeons persistently return to their chosen sanctuaries, meaning simple spreading tactics will never sever this deeply ingrained behaviour.
Efficient pigeon control in Brandwood involves physical barriers that prevent landing altogether, which carefully guides the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Several successfully moved more inland, establishing themselves as long-term breeding residents throughout Brandwood and the nearby Midlands.
Congregating in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn fiercely hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period extending from April until August.
With their substantial weight, gulls require 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 carefully adapted to meet the needs of each individual location.
We design bespoke options and guidance tailored to your roof type and colony size in place of providing generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings are a occasional problem bird within Brandwood.
You will find these birds get into roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, utilising exposed ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Located discreetly within a roof space, a starling roost accumulates vast, undesirable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the course of the season.
Bird control solutions in Brandwood
We deploy a wide-ranging suite of bird control methodologies, closely selected according to the particular avian species, the architectural structure, and the overall magnitude of the infestation.
How would we ever suggest answers without examining your site and the problem population first?
Every of our site surveys is fully complimentary and carries totally no commitment to proceed.
Bird netting
Looking 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!
We safeguard spaces using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene net, made to precise dimensions, with 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Through using stainless steel anchor systems, these fixings are carefully tightened into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once properly fitted, the netting remains almost invisible from ground level, providing a highly subtle and successful bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
How do we block annoying landing spots? We fit bird spikes onto ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
These function by causing the landing area feel uncomfortable, gently putting off the birds instead of physically stopping them.
To protect heritage and listed buildings, we recommend polycarbonate spikes because they make sure the deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
In workshop or trade settings, stainless steel offers impressive durability, thereby making it the best choice when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over visual appearance.
We thoroughly review your area’s unique requirements first to advise on the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
By using tensioned stainless steel wire secured among posts, bird wire systems establish a non-stable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the discreet deterrent, wire stylishly suits business and civic architecture where looks is paramount, whilst also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Offering an subtle defence, wire elegantly maintains the design of prominent public and commercial properties. It effectively shields period facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To halt unwanted bird activity, simply and easily position the brilliant Bird Free gel dish on any area you want to safeguard!
At only eight millimetres in height, it stays virtually invisible to people on the ground, yet your bird population will definitely notice it.
Due to avian sensitivity to UV light, this specialised gel causes the building to seem as though it is ablaze.
When avian groups are kept limited, we will subtly persuade these feathered visitors to look for shelter elsewhere.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and small birds quickly sneak into unoccupied roof spaces through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
We secure these entry points using stainless steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, dictated by the aperture size and bird species.
To ensure complete compliance to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusionary measures must be planned outside the active nesting season.
