The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 provides a protective legal embrace around all wild bird in the UK.
Although moving nests, scattering roosting flocks, or utilising harmful deterrents violates the Act, you are never left without options. Solutions still exist to shield your space from invasive pest birds.
In the calm skies of Great Malvern, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers expert bird control, utilising humane deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Great Malvern
Faeces from pest birds often harbour a varied range of harmful microorganisms.
Dried pigeon guano quietly can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by inhaling tainted dust or handling polluted surfaces.
First, we should recognise ornithosis as a serious occupational hazard in places with active bird infestations.
For restaurants and hospitality premises in Great Malvern, guano contamination brings a serious legal burden alongside the direct, disturbing health threats.
Apart from spreading disease, guano rapidly accumulates inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
First, birds congregate on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before roosting. Consequently, their built-up waste speeds up stonework decay, clogs gutters, and causes hazardous slip hazards on the surfaces below.
Neglecting a bird nuisance at a Great Malvern property invites increasing structural damage and building guano, making sure the essential installation job only becomes increasingly expensive as time goes on.
Irrespective of the bird species, our customised interventions help ensure that yourself, your property, and all residents stay thoroughly shielded against the associated health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Great Malvern
In Great Malvern, business buildings experience the most visible damage from feral pigeons and seagulls, which use flat rooftops and outcrops for ongoing roosting shelter.
These birds present a time of year threat, entering roof voids through more restricted openings than the other species.
Our technicians always clear guano and nest material prior to fitting fixings. Moved dry guano presents instant health risks, and left nest material swiftly invites secondary infestations to the area.
Below is a typical range of the varied avian species we care for on a everyday basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeon numbers routinely congregate in significant numbers throughout our urban environments.
A single breeding pair of pigeons can rear six broods annually, meaning populations grow quickly on any property with peaceful ledges or unused loft spaces.
When addressing this issue, we need to understand that pigeons regularly return to their chosen nesting spots, which means brief scattering methods can not alter their habits.
How do we master pigeon control in Great Malvern? Effective physical exclusion installations stop them settling at all, effectively encouraging them to look for another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have expanded their territory inland, forming lasting nesting colonies throughout Great Malvern and the wider Midlands.
Did you realise these noisy birds roost on flat roofs in crowded clusters? Take care, as they grow very territorial during breeding season from April to August!
Gulls outweigh pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon control.
We tailor each gull colony bird control system for the individual location.
Why accept standard packages? We passionately customise our advice and the best solution to suit your exact roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Starlings surely rank as a troublesome seasonal pest bird in Great Malvern!
They slip into unprotected roof voids through gaps far narrower than a pigeon needs, exploiting dislodged ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Imagine the vast volume of waste and nesting debris a starling roost produces inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Great Malvern
We methodically choose from our extensive range of bird control procedures, customising each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the size of the infestation.
We solely suggest solutions after inspecting your premises and reviewing the problem population.
We offer all site surveys entirely free, with no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
As the most thorough approach of avian exclusion, bird netting effectively covers roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to deny birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
We protect premises using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene net, woven to precise dimensions, with 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By employing stainless steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
Once correctly fitted, the netting remains almost hard to see from street level, delivering a highly discreet and effective bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To properly deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are firmly fitted on sills, copings, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These function by causing the landing area feel awkward, softly deterring the birds rather than physically obstructing them.
How do we safeguard valuable heritage and listed buildings discreetly? Incredible polycarbonate spikes are the perfect option for a totally invisible defence!
Owing to its excellent resilience, stainless steel makes the ideal choice for commercial or commercial settings where functional longevity amidst significant contamination supersedes aesthetic considerations.
By carefully assessing the particular requirements of your location first, we ensure our subsequent product recommendation is well suited.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems operate? They stretch stainless steel wire between posts to make ledges, balconies, and roof ridges totally unsuitable for touching down!
Offering a highly unobtrusive profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It equally protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally inappropriate.
Offering an subtle defence, wire elegantly preserves the character of prestigious public and business properties. It discreetly shields period frontages where drilling for spike or netting installations is quite unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Mount the small Bird Free gel dish on to any location that requires protection from unwanted bird activity.
At only eight millimetres in height, it remains effectively invisible to people on the ground, yet your bird population will definitely notice it.
Because most birds perceive ultraviolet light, this specialist gel causes the building look to them as if it is on fire.
Are you experiencing small bird issues? We will gladly help them to move on!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starling birds and sparrows enter to roof spaces via unsealed soffits, damaged fascias, and spaces in ridge tiles.
We cover these entry points using stainless steel mesh or specially made vent covers, depending on the aperture measurements and bird species.
To help ensure full compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully schedule any exclusion work away from the active nesting period.
