Under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete statutory protection.
Whilst dismantling nests, disrupting roosts, or applying harmful measures constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are certainly not left without recourse against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
Providing specialist avian management within Forton, Birmingham Pest Control Co. uses well-established deterrent and exclusion systems designed to cause no harm to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Forton
Pest bird droppings silently hold an опасный array of pathogens.
Please understand that dehydrated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by inhaling infected dust or contacting soiled surfaces.
In occupational environments impacted by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a distinct threat to professional safety.
This introduces a level of regulatory supervision for food and hospitality establishments within Forton, compounding the serious safety and health hazards of guano contamination.
Apart from carrying disease, guano quickly builds up inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before getting to roost, birds collect along ledges, parapets, and roof borders. Under them, accumulating debris gradually hastens decay in the stonework, clogs gutters, and makes the walkways below into extremely slick hazards.
Ignoring bird issues at a Forton property increases property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs more the longer you wait.
Whatever which avian species is involved, our bespoke interventions help ensure that you, your property premises, and every occupant are kept thoroughly safeguarded against the health dangers associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Forton
Which birds deface Forton’s commercial premises the most? Pigeons are to blame, utilising flat roofs and ledges for ideal, year-round roosting shelter!
Starlings pose a periodic difficulty, entering roof voids through much smaller openings than any one of the other species.
Before securing any specialist fixings, our technicians thoroughly cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety is paramount. Disturbed dry droppings create severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly attract secondary infestations to thrive.
Please browse this collection of the avian species we frequently assist with managing on a daily.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons regularly gather in substantial numbers across city environments.
Rearing up to six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership grows with surprising speed. They soon dominate any structure offering quiet ledges or vacant roof spaces.
Did you know pigeons doggedly come back to the same nesting and roosting spots? Simple dispersal tactics do nothing at all to disrupt that loop!
Handling pigeon populations in Forton necessitates exclusion systems that entirely prevent landing, thereby prompting the birds to occupy different territories.
Seagulls and gulls
Both successfully expanded more inland, settling as long-term nesting residents throughout Forton and the surrounding Midlands.
These loud birds nest in thick colonies on flat roofs, becoming aggressive during their breeding season from April to August.
As gulls are considerably heavier than pigeons, you have to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than lighter pigeon control methods.
We adapt each gull colony bird control system for the specific setting.
Instead of utilising a regular one-size-fits-all formula, we closely adapt our specialist guidance and final resolution to suit your specific roof type and colony size.
Starlings
Throughout Forton, starling flocks are regarded as a regular annual avian nuisance.
You will see they get into roof voids via smaller-sized entry points than pigeons, using exposed ridge tiles, faulty soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a substantial volume of droppings and debris.
Bird control solutions in Forton
Every refuge deserves protection and care. We orchestrate varied bird control systems, tailoring each response to the relevant species, the individual structure, and the true scale of the infestation.
We do not give recommendations before in person assessing your premises and the specific affected population.
Every initial property assessment is fully free of charge, carrying absolutely any obligation for future commitment.
Bird netting
To achieve maximum protection, bird netting carefully secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which successfully blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
We protect premises using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene mesh, made to precise dimensions, applying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems tension the fixings straight into brickwork, steel or timber.
Look up! Properly installed netting is barely invisible from the street, offering an very discreet and effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To stop birds from landing, we place bird spikes on pipework, sills, signage, outcrops, and low walls.
Rather than establishing a physical barrier, these systems function by creating the landing experience extremely inhospitable for the birds.
How do we preserve precious heritage and listed buildings unobtrusively? Incredible polycarbonate spikes are the ultimate solution for a totally unseen defence!
In industrial or commercial spaces where withstanding fouling is placed first over appearance, stainless steel offers greater strength and prolonged service life.
We carefully review the specific demands of your premises before recommending which particular product will provide the best solution.
Bird wire
By making use of tensioned stainless steel wire secured among posts, bird wire systems form a non-stable landing surface across level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly unobtrusive profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It also protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely improper.
Delivering an almost invisible shield, wire elegantly preserves the character of prominent municipal and commercial properties. It effectively shields period facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly unthinkable.
Bird free gel
To halt unwanted bird activity, simply and easily place the genius Bird Free gel dish on whichever surface area you want to shield!
Measuring a modest eight millimetres in height, it is fully hidden from human eyes on the floor, yet your resident bird population will certainly notice its presence.
Due to avian sensitivity to UV light, this specialist gel causes the building to seem as though it is ablaze.
Are you dealing with small bird issues? We will gladly encourage them to relocate!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and sparrows readily sneak into quiet roof spaces through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Want these areas secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
To ensure complete observance to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, all exclusionary measures must be scheduled beyond the active nesting season.
