Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 safeguards all wild bird in the UK.
Though the relevant legislation firmly prohibits damaging nests, interfering with roosting birds, or using damaging deterrents, you still retain legal and effective means of defending your property from problem avian populations.
In the calm skies of Coundon, Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control, employing humane deterrent and exclusion methods that help ensure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Coundon
Nuisance bird excrement usually harbours a diverse selection of disease-causing organisms.
Desiccated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
Wherever birds take over a place of work, the unseen threat of ornithosis looms a major occupational risk.
For catering businesses and hospitality sites in Coundon, guano contamination introduces a significant legal burden in addition to the immediate, disturbing health threats.
Aside from pathogenic hazards, guano rapidly builds up within guttering, upon roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before coming to roost, birds congregate along edges, parapets, and roof edges. Below them, accumulating waste silently hastens decay in the stonework, blocks gutters, and transforms the walkways below into dangerously slick hazards.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Coundon property? You invite worsening building damage, piling guano, and a necessary installation job that becomes pricier the longer you wait!
Regardless of the exact avian species, our tailored plans will efficiently protect you, the building, and those around you from the different health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Coundon
Which bird species soil Coundon’s commercial premises the greatest? Seagulls are to blame, utilising flat roofs and ledges for ideal, throughout the year roosting shelter!
They present a seasonal difficulty, entering roof voids through considerably smaller openings than any one of the alternative species.
Throughout every bird service, our technicians safely clean away guano and nest material before installing any fixings. This vital preparation prevents the health hazards associated with disturbing dried guano, whilst ensuring old nesting debris does not invite secondary infestations.
Those are only a few of the magnificent bird species we care for every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons routinely congregate in substantial numbers throughout city environments.
To commence, a single breeding pair of pigeons can raise six clutches annually, which enables their population to expand fast on properties with quiet ledges or roof spaces.
Because pigeons constantly come back to their established nesting and roosting sites, basic deterrent measures are unable to alter this deep-rooted behavioural pattern.
Effective pigeon management in Coundon relies on physical exclusion systems that fully prohibit alighting, thereby prompting these birds to find other habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have spread their territory inland, establishing settled nesting colonies across Coundon and the wider Midlands.
Gathered in crowded colonies atop flat roofs, these raucous birds turn fiercely hostile during their breeding season, a fraught period running from April until August.
Since gulls are considerably heavier than pigeons, you must implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than weaker pigeon control methods.
Every location is distinct, so we customise our bird control systems for gull colonies individually.
Why choose standard packages? We expertly customise our advice and the best solution to suit your specific roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Starling birds can be a seasonal pest bird within Coundon.
Getting into roof voids by way of smaller entry points than pigeons would need, they make use of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void accumulate a considerable volume of faeces and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Coundon
Every sanctuary merits careful protection. We coordinate a range of bird control systems, adapting each response to the specific species, the unique structure, and the actual scale of the infestation.
We only provide specialist guidance after personally assessing your on-site site and the specific population.
Would you believe it? Our property surveys are completely free with entirely zero pressure whatsoever to proceed!
Bird netting
Searching for the ultimate shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most comprehensive exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our system combines UV stable polyethylene net for each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we tension fastenings into stone, iron, or wood? Yes, using corrosion-resistant anchor systems!
Check up! Properly installed netting is virtually not visible from the street, providing an very subtle and successful bird solution.
Bird spikes
To successfully remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are firmly installed on sills, low walls, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These function by making the landing area feel uncomfortable, subtly deterring the birds instead of physically blocking them.
To preserve the fine aesthetics of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the preferred choice for achieving an exceptionally unobtrusive deterrent installation.
In search of absolute toughness in commercial zones? Robust stainless steel stands out in filthy industrial sites where withstanding heavy grime matters much more than pristine looks!
By thoroughly assessing the unique requirements of your property first, we ensure our later product recommendation is perfectly tailored.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems work? They tighten stainless steel wire between posts to leave ledges, balconies, and roof ridges entirely unstable for perching!
As the most subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where looks is paramount, while also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
In need of the ultimate discreet defence? Wire is perfect for elegant commercial and civic properties! It is excellent for historic buildings as well, entirely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Mount the compact Bird Free gel dish on to any surface requiring cover from unwanted bird activity.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, it stays virtually unnoticeable from ground level whilst being readily perceived by nearby bird population.
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this ingenious gel makes the building to look like it is entirely on fire!
Where infestations are minor or medium, we use gentle methods to prompt the birds to move on.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias, sparrows regularly enter roof spaces.
Looking to secure these spots secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
To ensure full compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully schedule any exclusion work outside the active nesting period.
