The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act offers a protective legal embrace around each and every wild bird in the UK.
Whilst dismantling nests, interfering with roosts, or applying harmful methods constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are by no means left without recourse against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
In the quiet skies of Broom Hill, Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides professional bird control, using safe deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Broom Hill
Problematic bird excrement usually contains a varied selection of pathogens.
Please be aware that dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a lung infection contracted by inhaling infected dust or handling soiled surfaces.
Ornithosis represents a major workplace health risk within occupational environments subject to avian infestations.
For hotel and catering firms in Broom Hill, handling guano contamination involves complying with strict statutory standards in addition to addressing the primary health risks.
Apart from carrying disease, guano quickly builds up inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
First, birds congregate on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before settling. Consequently, their built-up waste accelerates stonework decay, obstructs gutters, and creates dangerous slip hazards on the surfaces below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Broom Hill property worsens property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs more the longer you delay.
Whatever the avian species, our customised strategies help ensure that your premises, team, and tenants remain fully protected against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Broom Hill
In Broom Hill, commercial premises experience the most conspicuous degradation from feral pigeons and seagulls, which make use of flat rooftops and projections for continual roosting shelter.
As a recurring nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through far tighter gaps than either of the other species!
Throughout every bird service, our technicians carefully clean away guano and nest material before installing any fixings. That vital preparatory work reduces the health hazards associated with disturbing dried guano, whilst helping ensure old nesting debris does not cause secondary infestations.
Here is a broad sample of the varied avian species we look after every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons regularly assemble in large clusters across metropolitan environments.
Rearing upwards of six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership grows with surprising speed. They soon dominate any structure offering sheltered ledges or vacant roof spaces.
As pigeons habitually revisit their familiar nesting and roosting locations, straightforward scaring measures are unable to disrupt this well-established behaviour pattern.
Handling pigeon populations in Broom Hill requires physical barriers that fully prohibit landing, thereby prompting the birds to colonise alternative territories.
Seagulls and gulls
Extending their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have already become established nesters throughout Broom Hill and the broader Midlands.
Creating dense nests on level rooftops, these loud birds exhibit hostile behaviour during their reproductive season, which typically spans from April until August.
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls require durable post and wire systems or heavy duty netting over the weaker deterrents used for standard pigeon control.
We carefully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to fit each specific location.
Instead of offering a standard, basic package, we meticulously adapt our professional advice and your custom solution based upon roof layout and the colony size.
Starlings
With the changing seasons, starlings reappear to Broom Hill as nuisance pest birds.
Penetrating roof voids via narrower entry points than pigeons need, they capitalise on open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Over the space of a year, starlings roosting in a roof void collect large quantities of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Broom Hill
Every sanctuary merits protection and care. We design varied bird control systems, tailoring each response to the relevant species, the individual structure, and the actual scale of the infestation.
We solely propose solutions after inspecting your premises and evaluating the problem population.
Every of our site surveys are entirely complimentary and carries completely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
As a most complete means of avian exclusion, bird netting successfully covers roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to prevent birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
We secure premises using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene mesh, woven to specific dimensions, applying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Using stainless steel anchor systems helps ensure these fixings are firmly tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once accurately fitted, netting remains practically unseen from the street below, offering a wonderfully discreet yet very effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
How do we prevent unwanted landing spots? We fit bird spikes onto ledges and similar surfaces, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
These function by causing the landing area feel awkward, softly putting off the birds rather than physically stopping them.
To preserve the delicate aesthetics of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the preferred choice for delivering an highly subtle deterrent installation.
For harsh industrial landscapes where surviving relentless dirt takes precedence over aesthetic elegance, resilient stainless steel remains the best choice. It just lasts.
We meticulously assess the particular demands of your premises before advising which specific product will offer the best solution.
Bird wire
To easily deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems employ stretched stainless steel wire between posts, creating an unstable landing surface on level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a subtle deterrent, wire seamlessly suits commercial and civic architecture where appearance is paramount, while also safeguarding historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Delivering an almost invisible shield, wire carefully preserves the appearance of notable municipal and retail properties. It gracefully shields period heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is simply not feasible.
Bird free gel
To prevent nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is placed in a small container placed on any area requiring focused protection.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, it stays virtually unnoticeable from ground level whilst being clearly perceived by your local bird population.
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this clever gel makes the building appear as if it is fully on fire!
When bird gatherings stay modest, we will carefully encourage these feathered visitors to find shelter elsewhere.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How can starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces? They enter through soffits left open, fascias that are damaged, and openings in ridge tiles!
We secure these entry points using steel mesh or specially made vent covers, depending on the aperture dimensions and bird species.
To guarantee full compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully schedule any exclusion work away from the active nesting period.
