Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects each and every wild bird in the UK!
Though the relevant legislation explicitly prohibits removing nests, interfering with roosting birds, or deploying damaging deterrents, you still retain lawful and reliable means of protecting your property from problem avian populations.
Providing specialist avian management within Coseley, Birmingham Pest Control Co. implements effective deterrent and exclusion systems designed to cause no injury at all to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Coseley
Pest bird faeces contain a variety of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that induces ornithosis, a respiratory disease caught via the inhalation of tainted dust or direct contact with infected areas.
In work environments impacted by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a specific hazard to occupational safety.
For catering and catering firms in Coseley, managing guano contamination involves working within strict statutory standards in as well as addressing the key health risks.
Aside from pathogenic hazards, guano quickly builds up within guttering, on roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before breeding, avian species regularly congregate upon architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, depositing guano that significantly speeds up the deterioration of stonework, obstructs drainage gutters, and produces dangerous slipping hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
When you leave bird issues unsolved at a Coseley property, you see growing structural damage and building guano, which gradually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Regardless of the exact avian species, our customised plans will efficiently protect you, your building, and people in the vicinity from the range of health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Coseley
Which birds deface Coseley’s commercial premises the most? Feral pigeons and seagulls are the main culprits, using flat roofs and ledges for perfect, year-round roosting shelter!
They present a periodic challenge, reaching roof voids through far smaller openings than any one of the alternative species.
Did you know disrupted dried guano actually creates major health concerns? It absolutely does, and previous nests invite pesky additional infestations! That is the reason our very skilled technicians diligently clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Here are some of the bird species we manage every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeon numbers routinely assemble in considerable densities throughout our city environments.
One pair of pigeons raises up to six annual broods. Numbers grow fast on any structure with uninterrupted ledges or empty roof voids.
Because pigeons constantly return to their familiar nesting and roosting locations, basic dispersal methods do not s\ucceed to disrupt this deeply ingrained habituation pattern.
How do we tackle pigeon control in Coseley? Brilliant physical exclusion installations stop them landing at all, gently nudging them to look for another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Did you notice that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have moved further inland? They are currently nesting successfully across Coseley and the greater Midlands!
Creating dense groups on level rooftops, these clamorous birds exhibit territorial behaviour during their reproductive season, which generally spans from April until August.
Were you aware gulls are heavier than pigeons? They require robust post and wire systems or heavy duty netting instead of the weaker pigeon deterrents!
Every site is unique, so we adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies individually.
To assist you most effectively, we tailor our recommendations and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, avoiding any generic packages.
Starlings
With seasonal changes, starlings come back to Coseley as troublesome pest birds.
By taking advantage of open ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and damaged fascia boards, they enter roof voids through spaces narrower than those utilised by pigeons.
Over the space of a year, starlings roosting in a roof space build up large quantities of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Coseley
We implement a comprehensive range of bird control systems, adapting our approach to the specific species, property design, and general scale of the infestation.
Our approach begins by inspecting your site and the problem population before we recommend any solutions.
Every of our site surveys are entirely complimentary and carries absolutely no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
Looking for the ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the fullest exclusion system, guarding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our business installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions configured for individual species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Robust stainless steel anchor systems reliably tension these fixings into masonry, steel, or wooden frames.
Look up! Expertly installed netting is almost not visible from the street, providing an very subtle and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To prevent birds from settling, we fit bird spikes on pipework, sills, signage, outcrops, and low walls.
These operate by making the landing surface extremely unpleasant rather than forming a tangible barrier to the birds.
As preserving precious historic features and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect choice because their discouraging presence stays virtually out of sight.
For tough industrial landscapes where withstanding relentless dirt takes precedence over aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the most suitable choice. It just lasts.
By thoroughly assessing the specific needs of your site first, we make sure our later product recommendation is ideally suited.
Bird wire
By tensioning stainless steel wire between slim posts, bird wire systems smoothly convert exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into very insecure landing surfaces.
As the most subtle deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where visual appeal is essential, whilst also protecting historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Wire provides the discreetest deterrent for commercial and civic buildings with an emphasis on appearance. It also safeguards historic facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is not acceptable.
Bird free gel
Attach the compact Bird Free gel dish on to any area requiring cover from unwanted bird activity.
Standing a mere 8mm tall, this profile remains virtually imperceptible at ground level to humans, yet your local avian population will clearly detect its presence.
Due to avian sensitivity to ultraviolet light, this specialised gel causes the structure to appear as though it is ablaze.
Are you dealing with minor bird issues? We will gladly persuade them to move on!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and sparrows quickly sneak into unoccupied roof spaces through holes in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
We secure these entry points using stainless steel mesh or correct vent covers, selected to match the specific bird species and opening size.
How do we meet the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We time exclusion work outside active nesting seasons!
