The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 offers a statutory legal embrace around every wild bird in the UK.
Whilst removing nests, interfering with roosts, or employing harmful measures constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are by no means left defenceless against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Crowle
Nuisance bird excrement generally carries a diverse range of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by breathing in contaminated dust or contacting tainted surfaces.
First, we need to recognise ornithosis as a significant occupational hazard in locations with active bird infestations.
Did you know that food and hospitality sites, guano contamination results in strict regulatory compliance as well as critical health and safety hazards?
In besides health risks, bird droppings gather quickly inside gutters, over roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Birds occupy ledges, wall tops, and eaves before perching. The resulting droppings beneath these areas increase stonework deterioration, block gutters, and cause immediate slip hazards on walkways below.
Ignoring avian pests at a Crowle premises results in increasing structural deterioration, growing guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become steadily more expensive over time.
Irrespective of the avian species, our customised approaches guarantee that your property, staff, and tenants remain fully shielded against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Crowle
Wild pigeons and seagulls cause the most visible disruption on Crowle commercial properties, making permanent sanctuary upon their flat rooftops and edges.
Starlings create a yearly challenge, getting into roof voids through spaces that are considerably smaller than either species requires.
During each bird service, our technicians meticulously remove all guano and nest material before installing any fixings. This important preparation is important because dry guano when disturbed poses significant health risks, whilst discarded nesting material regularly attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Below is a typical selection of the diverse avian species we look after on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons regularly gather in large groups across our built-up districts.
A lone breeding pair of pigeons can rear six broods annually, meaning populations escalate rapidly on any property with quiet ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
Driven by a strong instinct, pigeons relentlessly return to their chosen sanctuaries, meaning simple scattering tactics will certainly not break this deeply ingrained pattern.
How do we master pigeon control in Crowle? Brilliant physical exclusion installations keep them settling at all, effectively encouraging them to find another home!
Seagulls and gulls
Both successfully moved further inland, remaining as year-round breeding residents throughout Crowle and the surrounding Midlands.
These noisy birds nest in dense colonies on flat roofs, becoming territorial during their breeding season from April to August.
Due to their greater mass compared to pigeons, gulls necessitate post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the lighter deterrents adequate for pigeon management.
Every site is unique, so we customise our bird control systems for gull colonies individually.
Rather than offering a standardised, generic package, we carefully customise our specialist advice and your custom solution based upon the roof structure and the colony size.
Starlings
Throughout Crowle, these birds are recognised as a repeated time-honoured avian nuisance.
They squeeze into roof voids through even smaller gaps than pigeons can, quickly exploiting open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a considerable volume of waste and nesting debris.
Bird control solutions in Crowle
We carefully 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 only recommend solutions after inspecting your premises and evaluating the problem population.
We conduct all site surveys without charge with no commitment required.
Bird netting
To achieve complete exclusion, bird netting blankets roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This secures everything, successfully denying access to nesting and nesting sites.
Our company installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions specified for particular species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we tension fixings into masonry, metal, or timber? Yes, using corrosion-resistant anchor systems!
Properly installed netting remains virtually hidden from the street, delivering a low-profile and very effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To successfully stop birds a perching space, bird spikes are attached to raised edges, parapets and walls, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These operate by making the landing surface extremely uncomfortable rather than creating a physical barrier to the birds.
As preserving valuable historic features and protected buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect choice because their protective presence remains largely out of sight.
In industrial or business settings where withstanding substantial fouling is given priority over visual appeal, stainless steel offers superior robustness and extended service life.
What is your location actually need? We identify those distinctive details first, helping we present your completely perfect match!
Bird wire
To readily deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems employ tightened stainless steel wire between posts, forming an insecure landing surface on flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits commercial and civic architecture where appearance is key, whilst also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Searching for the perfect discreet protection? Wire is excellent for stylish commercial and civic structures! It is excellent for historic buildings as well, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any specified area from unwelcome bird activity, you simply position a small dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
Standing a mere 8mm tall, this profile stays almost imperceptible at ground level to humans, yet your local avian population will definitely recognise its presence.
Due to bird sensitivity to UV light, this specially formulated gel causes the building to seem as though it were ablaze.
Are you having small bird issues? We would be pleased to encourage them to find another home!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through spaces in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias, starlings and sparrows often get into roof spaces.
Managing these ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, determined by the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
Carry out any required exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
