The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 lawfully preserves every wild bird within the whole of the United Kingdom.
Whilst displacing nests, disrupting roosting flocks, or utilising harmful deterrents violates the Act, you are never left defenceless. Options still remain to shield your space from invasive pest birds.
In the still skies of Chesterton, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control, using effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Chesterton
Pest bird droppings quietly harbour an опасный array of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the harmful pathogen causing ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by breathing in tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Avian infestations put workers subject to the significant occupational health hazard of ornithosis.
Regarding Chesterton hospitality and food outlets, this imposes rigorous regulatory oversight alongside the known health and safety dangers of guano contamination.
Health risks aside, guano collects fast in guttering, on roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before breeding, avian species habitually congregate on architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, leaving guano that directly hastens the deterioration of stonework, clogs drainage gutters, and produces treacherous slipping hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Chesterton property invites escalating structural damage and accumulating guano, ensuring the essential installation job only gets more expensive as time passes.
Regardless of the avian type, our bespoke preventive strategies ensure that you, your premises, and the occupants therein stay fully protected from bird related health hazards.
Pest bird species in Chesterton
Feral pigeons and seagulls inflict the most visible damage on Chesterton commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and sills.
Characterised as a seasonal issue, starlings enter roof voids through narrower openings than alternative species.
Throughout every bird service, the technicians safely clear away guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This vital preparatory work helps prevent the health hazards associated with disturbing dried guano, whilst helping ensure old nesting debris does not invite secondary infestations.
Which wonderful feathered species do we help manage every working day? Have a look!
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons truly enjoy to gather in massive groups throughout bustling city downtown areas!
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can rear up to six broods each year, their population multiplies rapidly on any structure offering uninterrupted ledges or vacant roof voids.
Drawn by a potent instinct, pigeons relentlessly return to their chosen sanctuaries, meaning mere scattering tactics will never sever this deeply ingrained habit.
Controlling pigeon populations in Chesterton requires physical barriers that fully prohibit landing, thereby causing the birds to colonise other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Each of the herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have safely migrated inland, forming permanent nesting populations across Chesterton and the broader Midlands.
Those noisy birds nest in crowded colonies on flat roofs, becoming more aggressive during their breeding season from April to August.
Possessing greater mass than pigeons, gulls demand sturdy post and wire systems or strong netting over the lighter deterrents employed for regular pigeon control.
We thoughtfully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to fit each particular site.
We design bespoke approaches and guidance specified to your roof type and colony size in place of using generic packages and bundles.
Starlings
We identify starlings as a yearly pest bird within Chesterton.
By exploiting open ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and damaged fascia boards, they access roof voids through openings narrower than those used by pigeons.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up vast quantities of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Chesterton
We use a comprehensive suite of bird control methodologies, closely selected according to the relevant avian species, the structural structure, and the general magnitude of the infestation.
Our procedure starts by assessing your site and the affected population before we suggest any answers.
Would you believe it? Our survey visits are totally at no cost with completely no obligation to commit!
Bird netting
As an especially thorough technique of avian exclusion, bird netting covers roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to deny pest birds any nesting or roosting sites.
We install UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions tailored to each species, utilising 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Employing stainless steel anchor systems ensures these fixings are safely tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once correctly fitted, netting remains virtually unseen from the street below, offering a highly discreet yet highly effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledged surfaces, parapets, windowsills, pipework, and sign boards removes landing surfaces.
How are they effective? They make landing highly uncomfortable as opposed to physically blocking the birds!
When protecting heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the best solution to make sure the essential deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
Due to its excellent resilience, stainless steel is the ideal choice for industrial and commercial or commercial settings where practical longevity amidst significant contamination takes precedence over aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly assess your site’s specific requirements first to suggest the most suitable product.
Bird wire
By using tight stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems effectively provide an unsuitable perching area across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is key, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
In need of the ideal discreet defence? Wire is excellent for attractive commercial and civic buildings! It is excellent for historic buildings too, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Mount the compact-sized Bird Free gel dish on to any surface requiring cover from nuisance bird activity.
At only eight millimetres in height, it stays virtually invisible to people on the ground, yet your bird population will certainly notice it.
As birds see ultraviolet light, this clever gel makes the building to look like it is completely on fire!
In cases of minor avian activity, we employ mild discouragement to encourage their departure.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Generally, starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces through damaged ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Protecting these ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, depending on the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
How do we meet the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We plan exclusion work away from active nesting seasons!
