In the United Kingdom, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects every wild bird.
Under the Act, interfering with roosting birds, destroying nests, or deploying harmful deterrents amounts to an offence under the law. That said, robust legal options remain to protect your property against pest bird populations.
Within Draycott, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers expert bird control by implementing reliable deterrent and exclusion methods that guarantee no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Draycott
Nuisance bird excrement generally harbours a wide selection of disease-causing organisms.
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the harmful pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a lung illness caught by inhaling tainted dust or touching compromised surfaces.
Were you aware that ornithosis is a serious workplace health risk wherever bird infestations occur?
For catering and food firms in Draycott, dealing with guano contamination involves navigating strict statutory standards in as well as addressing the primary health risks.
Disease aside, guano gathers at remarkable speed throughout gutters, over roofing materials, and near drainage points!
Before coming to roost, birds gather along ledges, parapets, and roof edges. Under them, accumulating debris gradually speeds up decay in the stonework, clogs gutters, and turns the walkways below into highly slick hazards.
Failing to address avian pests at a Draycott property inevitably and steadily accelerates building deterioration, worsens hazardous guano accumulation, and considerably inflates the eventual cost of the necessary mitigation installation over time.
Troubled by birds? No matter the species, our brilliant bespoke systems effectively protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Draycott
Urban pigeons and seagulls create the most visible harm on Draycott’s commercial buildings. Flat rooftops and ledges give these pests with ongoing roosting shelter.
Starlings present a recurring challenge, accessing roof voids through spaces that are much smaller than either species demands.
Prior to securing any specialist fixings, our technicians carefully cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety comes first. Disturbed dry droppings present severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly invite secondary infestations to thrive.
Below is a representative selection of the varied avian species we handle on a everyday basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons often congregate in large numbers across metropolitan environments.
To commence, a lone breeding pair of pigeons can rear six clutches annually, which lets their population to expand fast on properties with protected ledges or roof spaces.
Did you know pigeons doggedly come back to the same nesting and roosting spots? Standard dispersal tactics do precisely nothing to end that loop!
Efficient pigeon control in Draycott involves physical barriers that deter landing altogether, which subtly guides the birds to find an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls alongside Herring gulls have effectively spread into interior territories, and becoming well-established breeding populations throughout Draycott and the greater Midlands.
Gathering in dense groups upon flat roof spaces, these clamorous birds display highly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which generally extends from April until August.
Due to their higher mass relative to pigeons, gulls require post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the lighter deterrents enough for pigeon management.
We tailor every gull colony bird control system for the specific site.
Why choose standard packages? We carefully customise our advice and your best solution to fit your specific roof type and colony size!
Starlings
With each passing season, starlings reappear to Draycott as nuisance pest birds.
You can find they access roof voids via smaller-sized entry points than pigeons, utilising unsealed ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Imagine the massive volume of faeces and nest material a starling roost generates inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Draycott
We deliver a comprehensive suite of avian management techniques, precisely tailored to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall extent of the infestation.
No suitable solution is ever really offered until we first of all inspect your property and review the problem presence in person.
We provide every site survey completely free of charge, with no pressure to go ahead.
Bird netting
As the most effective exclusion method, bird netting secures roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to deny birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Looking for the highest level of protection? The UV stable polyethylene net delivers custom mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Through utilising stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are carefully secured into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once properly fitted, the netting remains practically hard to see from the street, providing a extremely unobtrusive and effective bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To completely prevent landing surfaces, bird spikes are expertly fitted on ledges parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, pipes, and signage.
Rather than establishing a physical barrier, these systems function by creating the landing experience very unwelcoming for the birds.
To safeguard the subtle aesthetics of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the preferred choice for achieving an exceptionally subtle deterrent installation.
In search of total resilience in commercial zones? Durable stainless steel stands out in grimy industrial sites where surviving heavy grime matters a lot more than pristine appearance!
We carefully review your area’s unique requirements first to suggest the most suitable product.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems operate? They tension stainless steel wire between posts to make ledges, balconies, and roof ridges totally unstable for touching down!
Offering a highly discreet profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It likewise preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely unsuitable.
Delivering an almost invisible defence, wire carefully retains the appearance of prominent civic and business properties. It discreetly protects period facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly not feasible.
Bird free gel
Presented in a tidy dish, Bird Free gel sits quietly on any surface needing defence against unwanted and persistent avian intrusion.
Being positioned at a mere 8mm, who could ever spot it from the ground? People will entirely miss its presence, but your local bird population certainly won’t!
Because birds can perceive UV light, this special gel helps make the building seem to them as if it were on fire.
Are you having small bird issues? We will gladly help them to move on!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings often access roof voids by taking advantage of gaps in ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and worn fascias.
We seal these entry points using stainless steel mesh or suitable vent covers, chosen to suit the particular bird species and opening size.
To ensure complete compliance to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, all exclusionary measures must be scheduled outside the active nesting season.
