The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 wraps a protective regulatory embrace around every wild bird in the UK.
Although the relevant legislation explicitly prohibits destroying nests, disturbing roosting birds, or installing harmful deterrents, you still retain lawful and effective means of defending your property from nuisance avian populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control in Brookside, using humane deterrent and exclusion methods to protect protected birds from damage.

Health risks from pest birds in Brookside
Were you aware pest bird droppings are fully packed with a wide range of pathogens?
Did you know dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory illness spreads through inhaling infected dust or handling contaminated surfaces!
First, we need to acknowledge ornithosis as a significant occupational hazard in places with ongoing bird infestations.
For catering and food firms in Brookside, handling guano contamination involves navigating strict statutory standards in as well as addressing the key health risks.
Apart from spreading disease, guano rapidly builds up inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before forming their roosts, birds assemble on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, depositing corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, obstructs drainage channels, and creates hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
When you leave bird issues unresolved at a Brookside property, you risk growing structural damage and increasing guano, which continually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Regardless of the specific avian species, our bespoke plans will effectively protect you and your property, the building, and those around you from the various health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Brookside
In Brookside, commercial properties experience the most visible damage from feral pigeons and seagulls, which make use of flat rooftops and outcrops for continual roosting shelter.
As a seasonal nuisance, starlings force themselves into roof voids through much narrower gaps than either of the other species!
Our experts regularly clear guano and nest material ahead of installing fixings. Moved dry guano creates instant health concerns, and left nest material rapidly invites secondary infestations to the area.
Please browse this selection of the avian species we routinely help manage on a day-to-day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeon numbers regularly congregate in substantial numbers throughout our urban environments.
Rearing as many as six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership multiplies with astonishing speed. They soon occupy any structure offering sheltered ledges or vacant roof spaces.
As pigeons routinely return to their traditional nesting and roost locations, basic scaring measures fail to break this well-established behavioural pattern.
Practical pigeon control in Brookside involves physical exclusion systems that deter landing altogether, which gently guides the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have steadily expanded deeper inland, remaining as long-term nesting residents throughout Brookside and the nearby Midlands.
Did you know these loud birds roost on level roofs in large clusters? Watch out, as they get very aggressive during nesting season from April to August!
Having greater mass than pigeons, gulls need sturdy post and wire systems or strong netting over the lighter deterrents utilised for regular pigeon control.
We adapt every gull colony bird control system for the particular location.
Rather than utilising a typical fixed formula, we carefully tailor our expert guidance and final resolution to match your particular roof type and colony size.
Starlings
We recognise starlings as a yearly pest bird within Brookside.
By exploiting open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and damaged fascia boards, they enter roof voids through gaps narrower than those used by pigeons.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void accumulate a substantial volume of faeces and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Brookside
How do we deliver excellent results? We tailor our complete suite of bird control options depending on the specific species, the property type, and the scale of the infestation!
We exclusively provide professional recommendations after carefully assessing your on-site site and the relevant group.
We offer all site surveys at no cost, with no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
To achieve ultimate exclusion, bird netting blankets roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This secures everything, effectively denying access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our firm fits UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions configured for specific species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are accurately secured into masonry, steel, or timber.
Properly installed netting stays virtually unseen from street level, delivering a low-profile and extremely effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To deter birds from settling, we install bird spikes on pipes, windowsills, signage, outcrops, and low walls.
These operate by turning the landing surface highly uncomfortable rather than creating a solid barrier to the birds.
When protecting heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the perfect solution to ensure the necessary deterrent remains entirely unobtrusive.
Because of its superior resilience, stainless steel is the ideal choice for industrial or commercial settings where functional longevity amidst heavy contamination supersedes aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly review the particular needs of your premises prior to recommending which relevant product will deliver the best solution.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems tension stainless steel wire between posts to establish an unsteady landing surface across ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a most discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is paramount, while also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
First, wire offers the least conspicuous deterrent for commercial and civic properties where appearance is essential. Secondly, this choice helps protect listed sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is not suitable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any targeted surface from unwanted avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is placed within a compact dish positioned on that area.
Standing at a mere 8mm, who could possibly spot it from the ground? People will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population definitely won’t!
Birds see ultraviolet light, which means this gel makes it appear the building appear like it is ablaze.
To deal with slight infestations, we carefully direct the birds to find other locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrow birds gain entry to roof spaces via unsealed soffits, broken fascias, and spaces in ridge tiles.
Safeguarding these exposed gaps requires stainless steel mesh or specially designed vent covers, chosen specifically to suit the scale and species of pest.
How do we comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We time exclusion work outside active nesting seasons!

To shield commercial properties from birds effectively, we combine outer physical barriers with regular inspections to spot any newly forming roosting areas.
