Pursuant to the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete legal protection.
While the relevant legislation firmly prohibits removing nests, disrupting roosting birds, or using damaging deterrents, you still retain lawful and effective means of safeguarding your property from unwanted avian populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control across Broad Green, utilising effective deterrent and exclusion methods executed to ensure no damage comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Broad Green
Faeces from pest birds frequently contain a varied range of disease-causing organisms.
Desiccated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the disease-causing pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling tainted dust or touching compromised surfaces.
Wherever birds invade a workplace, the silent threat of ornithosis looms a significant occupational danger.
For restaurants and hospitality premises in Broad Green, guano contamination introduces a significant legal burden in addition to the instant, alarming health threats.
In besides health risks, bird droppings build up swiftly inside gutters, over roofing materials, and near drainage points.
First, birds gather on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before roosting. As a result, their collected waste accelerates stonework decay, obstructs gutters, and causes hazardous slip hazards on the paths below.
When you leave bird issues unsolved at a Broad Green property, you face escalating structural damage and building guano, which continually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Affected by birds? Regardless of the species, our expert bespoke systems reliably protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from unpleasant health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Broad Green
Wild pigeons and seagulls result in the clearest damage on Broad Green’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges give them permanent roosting shelter.
Starling birds present a time of year hazard, accessing roof voids through narrower openings than the other species of bird.
Did you know moved dried guano actually creates significant health concerns? It absolutely does, and old nests invite nasty follow-on infestations! That is the cause our very incredible technicians carefully clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Here are a few of the bird species we handle every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral city pigeons assemble in dense densities throughout urban zones.
Did you know a pigeon pair can hatch up to six broods each year? They multiply at a remarkable rate on any structure with uninterrupted perches or loft spaces!
Driven by a powerful instinct, pigeons continually reclaim their chosen sanctuaries, meaning mere dispersal tactics will not ever break this deeply ingrained pattern.
How do we master pigeon control in Broad Green? Effective physical exclusion installations prevent them perching at all, dynamically nudging them to choose another spot!
Seagulls and gulls
Both effectively expanded more inland, establishing themselves as year-round breeding residents throughout Broad Green and the neighbouring Midlands.
Congregating in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn highly hostile during their breeding season, a fraught period lasting from April until August.
As gulls are much heavier than pigeons, you must implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than less robust pigeon control methods.
We customise each gull colony bird control system for the specific setting.
Why accept one-size-fits-all packages? We carefully customise our advice and your ultimate solution to fit your exact roof type and colony size!
Starlings
We recognise starlings as a periodic pest bird within Broad Green.
They slip into vulnerable roof voids through gaps far smaller than a pigeon requires, taking advantage of open ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and split fascia boards.
Over the space of a year, starlings roosting in a roof space collect large amounts of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Broad Green
We carefully pick from our extensive range of bird control procedures, adapting each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the size of the infestation.
We do not give suggestions prior to in person assessing your premises and the relevant affected population.
Here’s the thing? Our property surveys are totally free with completely no pressure to go ahead!
Bird netting
To achieve maximum protection, bird netting effectively secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which effectively blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
Looking for the best protection? The UV stable polyethylene net offers custom mesh sizes, with 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Stainless-steel anchor systems fasten the fixings straight into masonry, steel or timber.
See up! Expertly installed netting is virtually unseen from the street, providing an highly discreet and successful bird solution.
Bird spikes
How do we stop pesky landing spots? We install bird spikes onto ledges and similar surfaces, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
How are they effective? They render landing very uncomfortable as opposed to physically blocking the birds!
As protecting cherished heritage assets and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes are the best choice because their protective appearance is kept largely out of sight.
Stainless steel material provides excellent durability, proving ideal for industrial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is prioritised over aesthetics.
By meticulously assessing the unique requirements of your property first, we ensure our later product recommendation is perfectly matched.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems stretch stainless steel wire between posts to create an unstable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where visual appeal is essential, whilst also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Providing an barely visible protection, wire carefully preserves the appearance of notable municipal and retail properties. It effectively shields heritage frontages where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Served in a neat dish, Bird Free gel sits quietly on any surface in need of defence against unwanted and persistent avian intrusion.
At just a mere 8mm in height, ground observers will not notice this profile, yet your bird population definitely will.
Birds are able to see ultraviolet light, meaning this gel causes the building appear like it is ablaze.
Are you dealing with small bird issues? We would be pleased to encourage them to move on!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starling birds and sparrows get access to roof spaces via unsealed soffits, damaged fascias, and spaces in ridge tiles.
Safeguarding these exposed gaps demands stainless steel mesh or specially designed vent covers, selected carefully to suit the scale and species of intruder.
To guarantee full adherence with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should properly plan any exclusion work beyond the active nesting period.
