Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK receives complete statutory protection.
Did you know that interfering with roosts, taking away nests, or using damaging deterrents is an offence according to the Act? Fortunately, this certainly does not leave you unprotected against pest bird populations!
Within Broadwaters, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers expert bird control by using effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Broadwaters
Droppings from pest birds contain a large number of disease-causing organisms.
Did you know dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory illness is spread by inhaling infected dust or handling contaminated surfaces!
Ornithosis constitutes a significant workplace health concern within commercial environments with avian infestations.
For hotel and catering firms in Broadwaters, handling guano contamination involves navigating strict statutory standards in addition to addressing the main health risks.
Aside from biological hazards, guano quickly accumulates within gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before nesting, avian species often gather along architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that significantly hastens the deterioration of stonework, clogs drainage gutters, and produces dangerous slipping hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Broadwaters premises results in worsening structural deterioration, rising guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become increasingly more expensive over time.
Whatever the bird species, our customised interventions help ensure that you, your property, and all occupants remain completely protected against the associated health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Broadwaters
Wild pigeons and seagulls create the most conspicuous damage on Broadwaters commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary upon their flat rooftops and edges.
As they return seasonally, starlings penetrate roof voids through gaps considerably smaller than either one requires.
Prior to securing any specialist fixings, our technicians thoroughly cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety is our first priority. Disturbed dry droppings present severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly attract secondary infestations to thrive.
Here are some of the bird species we look after every day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons regularly assemble in substantial groups across our city districts.
To begin, a lone breeding pair of pigeons can raise six clutches annually, which enables their population to increase quickly on properties with sheltered ledges or roof spaces.
Because the pigeons constantly go back to their familiar roosting and nesting spots, superficial dispersal methods are unable to alter this deep-rooted behavioural pattern.
Definitive pigeon deterrence in Broadwaters depends on exclusion measures that stop landing entirely, gently leading these birds to seek different territories to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully migrated inland, establishing permanent nesting populations across Broadwaters and the wider Midlands.
Did you notice these boisterous birds settle on smooth roofs in large colonies? Watch out, as they become extremely hostile during breeding season from April to August!
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls need sturdy post and wire systems or heavy duty netting over the weaker deterrents used for standard pigeon control.
We thoughtfully tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each individual site.
We design bespoke solutions and support suited to your roof type and colony size instead of deploying generic packages and bundles.
Starlings
Throughout Broadwaters, starling flocks are seen as a repeated annual avian nuisance.
You will see these birds enter roof voids via narrower entry points than pigeons, using exposed ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and split fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up considerable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Broadwaters
Every haven deserves careful protection. We coordinate varied bird control systems, adapting each response to the specific species, the distinct structure, and the true scale of the infestation.
How can we ever suggest solutions without reviewing your site and the problem population first?
Every of the site surveys are completely complimentary and carries absolutely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
To provide total exclusion, bird netting blankets roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This protects everything, efficiently denying access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our expert UV stable polyethylene net is precisely sized for each species, fitting 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By utilising stainless steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
Correctly installed netting remains virtually unseen from street level, offering a discreet and highly effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
How do we block pesky landing spots? We fit bird spikes onto ledges and similar surfaces, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
Rather than establishing a physical barrier, these systems work by creating the landing experience very unfriendly for the birds.
Select polycarbonate spikes for use on heritage and listed buildings to minimise the noticeable appearance of the deterrent installation.
Because of its exceptional resilience, stainless steel is the ideal choice for industrial or commercial settings where practical longevity despite heavy contamination takes precedence over aesthetic considerations.
By thoroughly assessing the unique requirements of your location first, we make sure our following product recommendation is well tailored.
Bird wire
By making use of tensioned stainless steel wire secured among posts, bird wire systems form a unstable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where visual appeal is paramount, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
First, wire offers the subtlest deterrent for commercial and civic properties where appearance is crucial. Secondly, this choice helps protect listed sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any chosen area from unwanted bird activity, you simply put a little dish of Bird Free gel onto that surface.
Measuring a bare eight millimetres in height, it remains entirely hidden from human eyes on the floor, yet the resident bird population will surely notice its presence.
For avian eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building seem to be violently ablaze.
We encourage the birds to move during light or moderate infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starling birds and sparrow birds gain entry to roof spaces via unsealed soffits, broken fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles.
We cover these entry points using mesh or purpose-made vent covers, determined by the aperture dimensions and bird species.
To safeguard wild habitats, these works must be planned strictly beyond the active nesting period, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
