Health risks from pest birds in Charlton
Faeces from pest birds often harbour a wide-ranging selection of harmful microorganisms.
Dried pigeon guano passively contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by breathing in polluted dust or coming into contact with polluted surfaces.
Ornithosis represents a serious workplace health hazard within commercial environments with avian infestations.
This brings a level of regulatory oversight for food and hospitality establishments within Charlton, compounding the serious safety and health hazards of guano contamination.
Aside from biological hazards, guano swiftly accumulates in gutters, upon roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Do you sometimes spot birds congregating on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before settling? Their untidy droppings also accelerate stonework decay, block gutters, and lead to slippery slip hazards on walkways below!
Ignoring bird issues at a Charlton property worsens property damage, collects guano, and makes sure your installation job costs extra the longer you delay.
No matter the avian species, our bespoke preventative strategies guarantee that you, your premises, and the occupants therein stay fully safeguarded from bird related health hazards.
Pest bird species in Charlton
In Charlton, commercial buildings suffer the clearest damage from feral pigeons and seagulls, which make use of flat rooftops and ledges for perennial roosting shelter.
As they return each season, starlings penetrate roof voids through openings considerably smaller than either one requires.
Prior before installing any attachments, our trained team meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This preparation is important because dry guano poses significant health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material regularly invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
These are only a few of the magnificent bird species we care for daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeon numbers regularly assemble in significant concentrations across our metropolitan environments.
To start, a single breeding pair of pigeons can produce six clutches annually, which allows their population to grow rapidly on properties with protected ledges or roof spaces.
As pigeons regularly come back to their traditional nest and roost locations, simple scaring measures fail to disrupt this well-established behaviour pattern.
Reliable pigeon control in Charlton needs physical exclusion systems that stop landing completely, forcing the birds to relocate to another area.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have expanded their territory inland, forming lasting nesting colonies throughout the wider area of Charlton and the wider Midlands.
These noisy birds nest in crowded colonies on flat roofs, and becoming more aggressive during their breeding season from April to August.
Did you realise gulls are heavier than pigeons? They require sturdy post and wire systems or heavy duty netting instead of the lighter pigeon deterrents!
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are meticulously tailored to meet the needs of each specific location.
Rather than utilising a regular fixed formula, we carefully customise our specialist guidance and final resolution to suit your exact roof type and colony size.
Starlings
Throughout Charlton, starlings are regarded as a recurring annual avian nuisance.
They slip into exposed roof voids through openings far less than a pigeon requires, using loose ridge tiles, broken soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a substantial volume of droppings and nesting debris.

We systematically select from our comprehensive range of bird control procedures, tailoring each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the scale of the infestation.
We never offer recommendations prior to in person examining your premises and the particular concerned population.

Bird netting
As the ultimate exclusion technique, bird netting covers roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to prevent birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Need the best protection? The UV stable polyethylene net provides tailored mesh sizes, featuring 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
By using steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
When correctly fitted, netting remains virtually imperceptible from the pavement, providing a highly advanced and successful avian control method.
Bird spikes
How do we prevent pesky landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
These function by making the landing area feel awkward, softly putting off the birds rather than physically blocking them.
To safeguard the delicate appearance of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the premier choice for achieving an exceptionally discreet deterrent installation.
Due to its exceptional resilience, stainless steel represents the best choice for industrial or commercial settings where practical longevity amidst significant contamination outweighs aesthetic considerations.
We first explore the unique narrative of your area, making sure our eventual product recommendation is a genuinely perfect match.
Bird wire
By installing tight stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems successfully provide an unstable landing area across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a very discreet profile, wire is suitable for prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It likewise preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly inappropriate.
Delivering an barely visible protection, wire carefully retains the character of notable civic and retail properties. It gracefully shields heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is simply not feasible.
Bird free gel
To stop unwanted bird activity, simply place the genius Bird Free gel dish on any surface you want to safeguard!
Standing a bare eight millimetres tall, it remains completely hidden from humanly visible eyes on the ground level, yet your resident bird population will certainly notice its presence.
Because avian species can perceive UV wavelengths, this specialised gel causes the structure appear to be on fire.
Where infestations are small or moderate, we employ careful methods to persuade the birds to move on.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Usually, starlings and sparrows access roof spaces through damaged ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and deteriorated fascias.
Looking to secure these openings secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers tailored to the gap size and bird species!
To guarantee compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusion procedures must be scheduled outside the active nesting period.
