Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 safeguards all wild bird in the UK!
Whilst removing nests, disrupting roosts, or using harmful measures constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are in no way left defenceless against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
Within Elmbridge, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers expert bird control by using reliable deterrent and exclusion methods that guarantee no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Elmbridge
Have you heard pest bird droppings are absolutely packed with a wide range of pathogens?
Please be aware that dehydrated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by breathing in infected dust or touching soiled surfaces.
Ornithosis represents a serious occupational health concern within occupational environments affected by avian infestations.
This brings a level of legal oversight for food and hospitality establishments within Elmbridge, intensifying the serious safety and health hazards of guano contamination.
Apart from biological hazards, guano swiftly accumulates inside gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Birds occupy perches, wall tops, and eaves before perching. The subsequent droppings beneath these areas increase stonework deterioration, clog gutters, and pose immediate slip risks on paths below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Elmbridge property? You face further building damage, building up guano, and a necessary installation job that becomes pricier the more time you wait!
Whichever winged species appears, our bespoke systems guard your premises. Discover true peace of mind. We shield you and your neighbourhood from health hazards associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Elmbridge
Which bird species dirty Elmbridge’s commercial premises the worst? Feral pigeons and seagulls are responsible, taking advantage of flat roofs and ledges for excellent, all-year-round roosting shelter!
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings reach roof voids through more limited openings than either species.
Prior before installing any fixings, our professional team meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This preparation is vital because dry guano presents significant health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material regularly attracts secondary infestations to the treated area.
Here are some of the bird species we look after daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons often congregate in large groups around our urban neighbourhoods.
One pair of pigeons raises up to six annual nests. Pigeon populations multiply rapidly on any structure with undisturbed ledges or empty roof voids.
Pigeons reliably return to existing nesting and roosting sites, which means temporary deterrent methods do not manage to break their habitual behaviour.
Definitive pigeon management in Elmbridge depends on exclusion measures that deny landing entirely, carefully leading these birds to find different places to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Spreading their presence far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have now become firmly established nesters throughout Elmbridge and the surrounding Midlands.
Gathering in crowded colonies atop flat roofs, these raucous birds turn fiercely hostile during their breeding season, a tense period lasting from April until August.
With their considerable weight, gulls need robust post and wire setups or heavy duty netting. Weaker pigeon deterrents simply not work here.
Every area is different, so we tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies individually.
We turn away one-size-fits-all, mass-produced packages. Instead, we adapt our advice and your bespoke solution around the unique architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
We identify starlings as a yearly pest bird within Elmbridge.
You will find these birds access roof voids via smaller-sized entry points than pigeons, taking advantage of open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a considerable amount of faeces and debris.
Bird control solutions in Elmbridge
We deliver a thorough suite of avian management techniques, meticulously adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall severity of the infestation.
We solely propose solutions after assessing your premises and assessing the problem population.
We provide every site survey entirely free, with no obligation to continue.
Bird netting
To achieve the most complete protection, bird netting effectively secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which effectively blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
Looking for the ultimate protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net delivers custom mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Sturdy stainless steel anchor systems reliably secure these fixings into masonry, steel, or wooden frames.
See up! Expertly installed netting is virtually not visible from the street, providing an highly discreet and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To deter birds from landing, we install bird spikes on pipework, sills, signage, ridges, and low walls.
They deter birds by making landing surfaces uncomfortable instead of physically preventing them.
To preserve heritage and listed buildings, we advise polycarbonate spikes because they make sure the deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
For tough industrial landscapes where enduring relentless dirt takes precedence over aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the ideal choice. It simply endures.
We meticulously evaluate the specific demands of your premises before advising which particular product will provide the best solution.
Bird wire
To readily deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems employ stretched stainless steel wire between posts, creating an unstable landing surface on horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly discreet profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It likewise preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally unsuitable.
Providing an barely visible defence, wire elegantly retains the character of prominent municipal and business properties. It discreetly protects period facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Mount the compact Bird Free gel dish on any area requiring protection from nuisance bird activity.
At just a mere 8mm in height, people on the ground will not notice this profile, but your bird population definitely will.
Because wild birds can perceive UV wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the surface seem to be ablaze.
To resolve slight infestations, we carefully guide the birds to seek different locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and broken fascias, sparrows frequently get into roof spaces.
Securing these exposed gaps requires stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers, chosen specifically to suit the dimensions and species of invader.
Carry out all exclusion work outside the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
