The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act provides a protective legal embrace around all wild bird in the UK.

Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control across Foleshill, using highly successful deterrent and exclusion methods executed to ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Foleshill
Mess from pest birds carry a wide variety of harmful pathogens.
Dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that causes ornithosis, a respiratory disease acquired via breathing in tainted dust or physical contact with infected surfaces.
Did you know that ornithosis is a serious workplace health risk wherever bird infestations are present?
Did you know for Foleshill food and hospitality sites, guano contamination triggers strict regulatory compliance in addition to critical health and safety hazards?
Apart from carrying disease, guano swiftly accumulates inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Birds occupy ledges, wall tops, and eaves before settling. The ensuing droppings beneath these areas increase stonework decay, clog gutters, and pose immediate slip dangers on paths below.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Foleshill property can invite increasing structural damage and building guano, ensuring the essential installation job only gets more expensive as time passes.
Regardless of the exact avian species, our tailored plans will efficiently protect you and your property, your property, and everyone nearby from the various health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Foleshill
Urban pigeons and seagulls cause the most obvious harm on Foleshill’s commercial buildings. Level rooftops and ledging provide these pests with ongoing roosting shelter.
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings access roof voids through smaller openings than the other species.
Our specialists regularly remove guano and nest material ahead of installing fixings. Moved dry guano presents immediate health risks, and abandoned nest material swiftly invites secondary infestations to the area.
Below is a representative selection of the wide-ranging avian species we manage on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Large numbers of wild pigeons assemble across our busy city spaces.
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can raise up to six broods each year, their population multiplies rapidly on any structure offering protected ledges or vacant roof voids.
Did you know pigeons persistently revert to the same nesting and roosting spots? Simple dispersal tactics do nothing at all to end that loop!
Effective pigeon control in Foleshill involves physical barriers that stop landing altogether, which subtly leads the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Both steadily moved deeper inland, remaining as year-round breeding residents throughout Foleshill and the neighbouring Midlands.
Did you notice these noisy birds settle on flat roofs in large groups? Be careful, as they get very aggressive during nesting season from April to August!
Did you realise gulls are more substantial than pigeons? They need sturdy post and wire systems or hard-wearing netting instead of the lighter pigeon deterrents!
We carefully adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each particular setting.
We engineer bespoke approaches and guidance tailored to your roof type and colony size rather than using generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings can be a occasional nuisance bird within Foleshill.
They find their way into vulnerable roof voids through openings far smaller than a pigeon needs, taking advantage of dislodged ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space accumulate vast volumes of droppings and nesting materials over a single season.
Bird control solutions in Foleshill
We install a wide-ranging range of bird control systems, tailoring our method to the particular species, property design, and total scale of the infestation.
How could we ever suggest answers without inspecting your site and the problem population first?
Every of the site surveys are completely complimentary and carries completely no commitment to proceed.
Bird netting
As the final exclusion approach, bird netting protects roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to prevent birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Need 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!
Stainless-steel anchor systems fasten the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
Correctly installed netting remains virtually unseen from street level, offering a low-profile and highly effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To stop birds from settling, we fit bird spikes on pipework, sills, signage, ridges, and parapets.
These work by rendering the landing surface very unpleasant rather than creating a tangible barrier to the birds.
Select polycarbonate spikes for heritage and listed buildings to minimise the visual impact of the deterrent installation.
For harsh industrial landscapes where enduring relentless dirt outweighs aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the ideal choice. It truly lasts.
By thoroughly analysing the specific requirements and needs of your site first, we make sure our later product recommendation is well matched.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems secure stainless steel wire between posts to form an insecure landing surface across ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most subtle deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where looks is key, while also safeguarding historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Searching for the perfect discreet deterrent? Wire is ideal for attractive commercial and civic properties! It is excellent for historic buildings also, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Fix the small Bird Free gel dish onto any surface needing protection from problem bird activity.
At just a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, yet your bird population certainly will.
For avian eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this specialized gel makes the building seem to be furiously ablaze.
To address minor infestations, we carefully direct the birds to seek other locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and sparrows easily slip into sheltered roof spaces through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Looking to secure these openings secured? We deploy stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers matched to the gap size and bird species!
To help ensure complete adherence to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every exclusionary measures must be planned away from the active nesting season.
