Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 covers every single wild bird in the UK.
Although the relevant legislation explicitly prohibits removing nests, interfering with roosting birds, or deploying harmful deterrents, you still retain permitted and effective means of defending your property from nuisance avian populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Eastham
Were you aware pest bird droppings are really teeming with a wide range of pathogens?
Did you know dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory infection spreads by inhaling infected dust or touching contaminated surfaces!
In occupational settings affected by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a clear hazard to professional wellbeing.
Eastham food and hospitality operators encounter stringent regulatory liability as well as the serious health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Aside from health risks, guano builds up rapidly in guttering, on roof coverings, and around drainage points.
Before forming their roosts, birds congregate on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving corrosive waste that speeds up the deterioration of masonry, blocks drainage channels, and creates hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Ignoring avian pests at a Eastham property inevitably and steadily worsens structural deterioration, compounds hazardous guano accumulation, and significantly inflates the eventual cost of the required mitigation installation over time.
Regardless of the particular avian species, our bespoke plans will efficiently protect your premises, your building, and people in the vicinity from the different health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Eastham
Urban pigeons and seagulls create the most visible damage on Eastham’s commercial buildings. Flat rooftops and ledges offer these pests with ongoing roosting shelter.
Characterised as a seasonal challenge, starlings reach roof voids through smaller openings than the other species.
Throughout every bird service, the technicians thoroughly clean away guano and nest material before adding any fixings. This vital preparation helps prevent the health hazards associated with disturbing dried guano, whilst helping ensure old nesting debris does not attract secondary infestations.
These are some of the bird species we handle every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often gather in substantial numbers across our urban areas.
One pair of pigeons raises up to six annual broods. Populations increase quickly on any structure with quiet ledges or empty roof voids.
Pigeons consistently return to established breeding and resting sites, which means short-lived deterrent methods tend to fail to alter their habitual behaviour.
Effective pigeon management in Eastham depends on physical exclusion systems that completely stop alighting, thereby leading these birds to move to other habitats in other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Extending their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have now become established nesters throughout Eastham and the wider Midlands.
Did you realise these loud birds nest on level roofs in large groups? Watch out, as they get highly aggressive during breeding season from April to August!
With the birds’ considerable weight, gulls require robust post and wire setups or heavy duty netting. Weaker pigeon deterrents simply just fall short here.
Every location is unique, so we tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies individually.
We dismiss one-size-fits-all, mass-produced packages. In contrast, we adapt our advice and your custom solution around the specific architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
We identify starlings as a seasonal pest bird within Eastham.
They crawl into roof voids through even smaller gaps than pigeons can, swiftly exploiting open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up vast quantities of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Eastham
We implement a wide-ranging suite of bird control methodologies, carefully selected according to the specific avian species, the building structure, and the general magnitude of the infestation.
We never give suggestions prior to in person inspecting your premises and the particular concerned population.
Every initial property assessment is completely free of charge, with absolutely any requirement for any commitment.
Bird netting
As the most effective exclusion technique, bird netting protects roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to stop birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Looking for the highest level of protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net delivers tailored mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Stainless steel anchor systems secure the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
Correctly installed netting stays virtually invisible from street level, offering a low-profile and extremely effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
How do we prevent unwanted landing spots? We fit bird spikes onto ledges and similar surfaces, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
Instead of physically barricading the avian guests, they simply make the landing experience extremely disagreeable.
To preserve the subtle visual character of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the premier choice for delivering an exceptionally unobtrusive deterrent installation.
Stainless steel provides superior durability, proving well suited for industrial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is emphasised over aesthetics.
We thoroughly assess the particular requirements of your premises prior to recommending which relevant product will deliver the best solution.
Bird wire
By installing taut stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems reliably provide an unsteady landing surface across level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a very discreet profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally unsuitable.
First, wire offers the most subtle solution for commercial and civic properties where appearance is essential. Secondly, this choice protects listed sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unsuitable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any affected surface from nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is applied within a small dish positioned on that area.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, it is virtually unnoticeable from ground level whilst being easily perceived by nearby bird population.
Because many birds perceive ultraviolet light, this specialised gel causes the building look to them as if it were on fire.
Are you having small bird issues? We will happily encourage them to move on!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Typically, starlings and sparrows access roof spaces through broken ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and worn fascias.
Safeguarding these ingress points from avian pests utilises stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, chosen according to the aperture dimensions and the particular species.
