Pursuant to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK receives complete statutory protection.
Although removing nests, scattering roosting flocks, or employing harmful deterrents violates the Act, you are not left defenceless. Options still remain to protect your space from intrusive pest birds.
Offering specialist avian management within Dothill, Birmingham Pest Control Co. implements well-established deterrent and exclusion systems intended to cause no harm to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Dothill
Pest bird faeces harbour various pathogens.
Please understand that dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a respiratory infection contracted by breathing in infected dust or contacting soiled surfaces.
Initially, we must acknowledge ornithosis as a significant occupational hazard in locations with ongoing bird infestations.
For hospitality and food firms in Dothill, dealing with guano contamination involves navigating strict statutory standards in as well as addressing the main health risks.
Apart from carrying disease, guano rapidly collects inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
First, the birds congregate on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before perching. Consequently, their built-up waste promotes stonework decay, clogs gutters, and creates hazardous slip hazards on the walkways below.
When you leave bird issues untreated at a Dothill property, you face growing structural damage and increasing guano, which steadily increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Whatever the bird species, our bespoke interventions guarantee that you, your property premises, and all residents remain completely protected against the associated health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Dothill
In Dothill, business buildings face the most visible degradation from feral pigeons and seagulls, which make use of flat rooftops and projections for continual roosting shelter.
They pose a recurring difficulty, reaching roof voids through far smaller openings than either of the alternative species.
During every bird service, our technicians meticulously remove all guano and nest material before adding any fixings. This vital preparation is important because dry guano when disturbed poses significant health risks, whilst left nesting material often attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
These are only a few of the magnificent bird species we care for each day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeon populations consistently assemble in considerable densities throughout our urban environments.
Producing up to six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership multiplies with astonishing speed. They soon take over any structure offering quiet ledges or vacant roof spaces.
As pigeons habitually come back to their familiar nest and roosting locations, basic deterrent measures fail to break this hardwired behavioural pattern.
Effective pigeon control in Dothill involves physical exclusion systems that prevent landing altogether, which carefully guides the birds to seek an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have expanded their presence inland, creating permanent nesting colonies throughout the wider area of Dothill and the wider Midlands.
Did you know these noisy birds settle on flat roofs in large colonies? Be careful, as they grow highly aggressive during mating season from April to August!
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls require durable post and wire systems or heavier-duty netting over the lighter deterrents used for standard pigeon control.
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are closely customised to suit each particular location.
Why accept one-size-fits-all packages? We carefully customise our advice and your ultimate solution to fit your specific roof type and colony size!
Starlings
These starlings frequently constitute a annual avian nuisance within the Dothill area.
They slip into vulnerable roof voids through openings far narrower than a pigeon would need, taking advantage of dislodged ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting inside a roof space will create a considerable amount of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Dothill
We use a thorough suite of bird control methodologies, carefully selected according to the relevant avian species, the building structure, and the general magnitude of the infestation.
No suitable answer is ever suggested until we first assess your property and evaluate the problem issue in person.
We provide all site surveys completely free of charge, with no obligation to continue.
Bird netting
As the final exclusion approach, bird netting protects roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to deny birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Our approach combines UV stable polyethylene net to suit each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Using stainless steel anchor systems ensures these fixings are firmly tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once correctly fitted, the netting remains almost unnoticeable from the street, delivering a highly discreet and successful bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To prevent birds from settling, we install bird spikes on pipework, windowsills, signs, ridges, and low walls.
These work by turning the landing surface highly unpleasant rather than creating a tangible barrier to the birds.
How do we preserve historic heritage and listed buildings unobtrusively? Amazing polycarbonate spikes are the perfect choice for a fully unseen defence!
Due to its excellent resilience, stainless steel is the ideal choice for industrial or commercial settings where functional longevity amidst significant contamination outweighs aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly assess the specific demands of your premises prior to recommending which specific product will offer the most suitable solution.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems function? They tension stainless steel wire between posts to leave ledges, balconies, and roof ridges completely unstable for touching down!
As the most subtle deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where looks is essential, while also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Wire provides a highly discreet deterrent for civic and commercial buildings prioritising aesthetics. It also safeguards historic facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Fix the small Bird Free gel dish on any area needing cover from problem bird activity.
At a height of a mere 8mm high, this profile remains practically imperceptible at ground level to humans, yet your local avian population will clearly recognise its presence.
Due to avian sensitivity to UV light, this specialist gel causes the building to seem as though it were ablaze.
When bird gatherings are kept modest, we will gently guide these winged arrivals to seek homes in another place.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and small birds easily slip into unoccupied roof spaces through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Protecting these ingress points from avian pests utilises stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, picked according to the aperture dimensions and the relevant species.
To guarantee full observance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should properly schedule any exclusion work outside the active nesting period.
