Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects each and every wild bird in the UK!
Though the relevant legislation strictly prohibits removing nests, interfering with roosting birds, or installing damaging deterrents, you still retain legal and effective means of defending your property from nuisance avian populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Earlsdon
Did you know pest bird droppings are absolutely teeming with a wide range of pathogens?
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that causes ornithosis, a respiratory disease contracted via inhaling tainted dust or direct contact with infected surfaces and objects.
Were you aware that ornithosis is an important workplace health risk wherever bird infestations are present?
Earlsdon operators in food and hospitality face stringent regulatory risk alongside the serious health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Aside from biological hazards, guano rapidly accumulates inside gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Birds occupy ledges, rooflines, and roof edges before settling. The resulting faeces beneath these areas speed up stonework deterioration, obstruct gutters, and pose immediate slip hazards on walkways below.
When you keep bird issues untreated at a Earlsdon property, you face progressive structural damage and accumulating guano, which gradually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Pestered by birds? Regardless of the species, our expert bespoke systems effectively protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Earlsdon
Which bird species deface Earlsdon’s commercial premises the greatest? Seagulls are responsible, utilising flat roofs and ledges for perfect, year-round roosting shelter!
These birds present a periodic hazard, accessing roof voids through smaller openings than any alternative species of bird.
During each bird service, our technicians thoroughly remove every guano and nest material before adding any fixings. This important preparation is vital because dry guano when disturbed poses significant health risks, whilst discarded nesting material frequently attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
These are some of the bird species we handle daily.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons congregate in high densities throughout city zones.
To commence, a single breeding pair of pigeons can produce six clutches annually, which allows their population to increase quickly on properties with quiet ledges or roof spaces.
Pigeons consistently return to existing nesting and perching sites, which means short-lived dispersal methods tend to fail to break their habitual behaviour.
Handling pigeon populations in Earlsdon calls for exclusion systems that completely stop landing, thereby prompting the birds to occupy other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have extended their presence inland, forming lasting nesting colonies throughout Earlsdon and the broader Midlands.
Those noisy birds nest in thick colonies on flat roofs, becoming more aggressive during their breeding season from April to August.
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls need durable post and wire systems or strong netting over the less robust deterrents utilised for standard pigeon control.
We meticulously customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to fit each specific setting.
We design bespoke approaches and guidance specified to your roof type and colony size instead of providing generic packages and bundles.
Starlings
Throughout Earlsdon, starling flocks are seen as a recurring annual avian nuisance.
They crawl into roof voids through even smaller gaps than pigeons can, rapidly using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Starlings roosting inside a roof space accumulate considerable volumes of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Earlsdon
Every haven merits protection. We orchestrate diverse bird control systems, tailoring each response to the relevant species, the unique structure, and the full scale of the infestation.
We never offer recommendations prior to personally assessing your premises and the relevant affected population.
Every of the site surveys are fully complimentary and carries completely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
In need of a ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the fullest exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our approach matches UV stable polyethylene net for the relevant species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless steel anchor systems secure the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
Once properly fitted, netting remains virtually unseen from the street below, delivering a wonderfully unobtrusive yet extremely effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To properly deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are safely fixed on ledgес, copings, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
Rather than physically barricading the avian guests, they simply render the landing experience extremely disagreeable.
To preserve the subtle visual character of historic and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the ideal choice for achieving an remarkably discreet deterrent fitting.
Stainless steel material offers superior durability, making it a good fit for industrial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is prioritised over aesthetics.
We meticulously evaluate the particular needs of your premises before advising which relevant product will deliver the most suitable solution.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems tension stainless steel wire between posts to create an unsteady landing surface across raised ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly discreet profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely inappropriate.
Delivering an almost invisible defence, wire carefully retains the design of notable municipal and retail properties. It discreetly safeguards heritage frontages where drilling for spike or netting installations is quite unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To protect any affected surface from undesirable avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed within a shallow dish set on that area.
Standing a bare eight millimetres in height, it remains fully hidden from human eyes on the ground level, yet the resident bird population will surely notice its presence.
Birds see ultraviolet light, which means this gel causes the building to look like it is ablaze.
To resolve minor infestations, we carefully direct the birds to find different locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrow birds enter to roof spaces via unsealed soffits, broken fascias, and openings in ridge tiles.
Need these areas secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers tailored to the gap size and bird species!
To secure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusion procedures must be scheduled outside the active nesting period.
