Under the terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK receives complete legal protection.
Though moving nests, scattering roosting flocks, or employing harmful deterrents violates the Act, you are not left unprotected. Solutions still are available to shield your space from intrusive pest birds.
In the still skies of Crabbs Cross, Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers reliable bird control, using humane deterrent and exclusion methods that make sure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Crabbs Cross
Were you aware pest bird droppings are really packed with numerous pathogens?
Dried pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that brings about ornithosis, a respiratory disease contracted via inhaling tainted dust or physical contact with infected surfaces.
First, we need to acknowledge ornithosis as a significant occupational hazard in places with current bird infestations.
This brings a layer of official supervision for food and hospitality establishments within Crabbs Cross, worsening the significant safety and health hazards of guano contamination.
Aside from health risks, guano builds up rapidly in gutters, on roof surfaces, and around drainage areas.
Birds occupy ledges, wall tops, and roof edges before roosting. The resulting faeces beneath these areas increase stonework erosion, block gutters, and create immediate slip hazards on pedestrian walkways below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Crabbs Cross property escalates property damage, accumulates guano, and ensures your installation job costs a lot more the longer you delay.
Whatever the avian species, our bespoke approaches ensure that your premises, staff, and occupants remain fully protected against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Crabbs Cross
Persistent feral pigeons cause the most obvious damage upon Crabbs Cross’s commercial properties, claiming flat rooftops and ledges for permanent nesting spots.
Characterised as a seasonal challenge, starlings enter roof voids through smaller openings than alternative species.
Before securing any specialist fixings, our technicians diligently cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety is our first priority. Disturbed dry droppings pose severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly attract secondary infestations to thrive.
Which wonderful bird species do we manage every single day? Take a look!
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons absolutely like to gather in massive flocks throughout bustling city downtown areas!
To begin, a single breeding pair of pigeons can produce six clutches annually, which enables their population to increase quickly on properties with quiet ledges or roof spaces.
When dealing with this matter, we must acknowledge that pigeons repeatedly revisit to their preferred nesting spots, so that brief scattering tactics can not alter their behaviour.
How do we master pigeon control in Crabbs Cross? Effective physical exclusion installations prevent them perching at all, gently nudging them to look for another spot!
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have spread their territory inland, establishing permanent nesting colonies throughout the wider area of Crabbs Cross and the wider Midlands.
Creating dense nests on level rooftops, these noisy birds exhibit territorial behaviour during their reproductive season, which typically spans from April until August.
Due because of their greater mass relative to pigeons, gulls necessitate post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the weaker deterrents adequate for pigeon management.
We passionately customise the bird control systems for each and every specific gull colony location!
We dismiss standard, mass-produced packages. In contrast, we shape our advice and your tailored solution around the distinctive architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
Starlings consistently constitute a seasonal bird nuisance in the Crabbs Cross region.
They gain access to roof voids through more limited apertures than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up vast volumes of droppings and nesting materials over a single season.
Bird control solutions in Crabbs Cross
We deliver a wide-ranging suite of avian management techniques, precisely tailored to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall level of the infestation.
No proper solution is ever suggested until we initially assess your location and review the unwanted issue directly.
We provide all site surveys entirely free, with no pressure to go ahead.
Bird netting
As the most complete approach of avian exclusion, bird netting protects roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to block pest birds any nesting or roosting opportunities.
We install UV stable polyethylene net with mesh sizes tailored to each species, employing 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, these fixings are accurately secured into masonry, steel, or timber.
When expertly fitted, netting remains almost imperceptible from ground level, delivering a very discreet yet effective avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
How do we prevent unwanted landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto raised ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
Instead of establishing a tangible barrier, these systems function by making the landing experience very unwelcoming for the birds.
Choose polycarbonate spikes for heritage and listed buildings to minimise the noticeable appearance of the deterrent installation.
For harsh industrial landscapes where withstanding relentless dirt takes precedence over aesthetic beauty, resilient stainless steel remains the most suitable choice. It just lasts.
By carefully assessing the particular needs of your location first, we ensure our later product recommendation is ideally suited.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems work? They tension stainless steel wire between posts to render ledges, balconies, and roof ridges totally unstable for landings!
As the most discreet deterrent, wire stylishly suits business and civic architecture where visual appeal is paramount, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
In need of the ideal discreet protection? Wire is perfect for stylish commercial and civic structures! It is ideal for historic buildings also, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To protect any targeted surface from nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is applied within a small dish set on that area.
Measuring a mere eight millimetres tall, it stays completely hidden from human eyes on the ground, yet your resident bird population will certainly notice its presence.
For bird eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this specialized gel makes the building seem to be vividly ablaze.
When avian gatherings stay modest, we will carefully encourage these feathered guests to seek homes in another place.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and sparrows readily slip into quiet roof spaces through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
We seal these entry points using stainless steel mesh or suitable vent covers, selected to match the particular bird species and opening size.
Undertake all exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
