The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act provides a legal regulatory embrace around all wild bird in the UK.
Although the relevant legislation firmly prohibits removing nests, disrupting roosting birds, or installing dangerous deterrents, you still retain lawful and effective means of safeguarding your property from problem avian populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides skilled bird control across Greets Green, employing highly successful deterrent and exclusion methods implemented to ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Greets Green
Faeces from pest birds commonly harbour a wide-ranging range of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by breathing in tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Whenever birds take over a workplace, the silent threat of ornithosis stands as a major occupational risk.
Greets Green operators in food and hospitality encounter strict regulatory exposure as well as the significant health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Aside from health risks, guano accumulates rapidly in guttering, on roof surfaces, and around drainage areas.
Do you sometimes notice birds gathering on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before resting? Their untidy droppings also hasten stonework decay, obstruct gutters, and cause dangerous slip hazards on walkways below!
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Greets Green property? You invite increasing building damage, accumulating guano, and a necessary installation job that turns pricier the longer you wait!
Whatever which avian species is involved, our customised interventions help ensure that you, your premises, and all occupants remain thoroughly safeguarded against the health dangers associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Greets Green
Feral pigeons and gulls create the most visible damage on Greets Green’s commercial buildings. Level rooftops and ledges offer these pests with ongoing roosting shelter.
As a recurring nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through much narrower gaps than either of those species!
Did you know disturbed dry guano actually presents major health hazards? It does, and abandoned nests invite pesky secondary infestations! That is the cause our incredible technicians carefully clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Those are but a few of the magnificent bird species we care for each day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons truly like to gather in massive groups throughout bustling city downtown areas!
Did you know a pigeon pair can hatch up to 6 broods per year? Their numbers increase very quickly on virtually any building with uninterrupted shelves or roof voids!
When dealing with this problem, we need to understand that pigeons consistently come back to their preferred nesting areas, which means short-term displacement methods can not alter their habits.
Effective pigeon control in Greets Green involves exclusion methods that prevent landing altogether, which subtly leads the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Expanding their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have since become firmly established nesters throughout Greets Green and the surrounding Midlands.
Establishing dense groups on level rooftops, these noisy birds exhibit hostile behaviour during their reproductive season, which generally spans from April until August.
Since gulls are much heavier than pigeons, you have to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than less robust pigeon control methods.
We accurately customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each individual site.
Rather than utilising a standard uniform formula, we meticulously tailor our professional guidance and final resolution to fit your exact roof type and colony size.
Starlings
Starling birds are a occasional nuisance bird within Greets Green.
They find their way into vulnerable roof voids through gaps far smaller than a pigeon needs, exploiting dislodged ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and split fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting inside a roof space will create significant amounts of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Greets Green
We provide a thorough suite of avian management techniques, meticulously customised to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall level of the infestation.
We only give expert advice after carefully examining your actual site and the relevant population.
Every of the site surveys are entirely complimentary and carries totally no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
As the ultimate exclusion approach, bird netting secures roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to stop birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Need the ultimate protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net offers custom mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Durable stainless steel anchor systems safely secure these fixings into masonry, metal, or wood.
Once properly fitted, the netting remains virtually unnoticeable from street level, delivering a extremely subtle and reliable bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledged surfaces, roof edges, window ledges, pipes and fittings, and sign boards eliminates places to land.
Rather than physically barricading the avian guests, they simply render the landing experience extremely disagreeable.
To safeguard the fine aesthetics of heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the ideal choice for creating an remarkably unobtrusive deterrent fitting.
Owing to its exceptional resilience, stainless steel represents the best choice for commercial or commercial settings where functional longevity in the face of severe contamination outweighs aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly analyse your area’s specific needs first to recommend the most suitable product.
Bird wire
To simply deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems employ stretched stainless steel wire between posts, creating an unsteady landing surface on horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire stylishly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is paramount, while also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Searching for the ultimate discreet deterrent? Wire is perfect for stylish commercial and civic structures! It is ideal for historic buildings as well, entirely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any affected surface from undesirable avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed within a small dish positioned on that area.
Standing at a mere 8mm, who could possibly spot it from the ground? Humans will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population certainly won’t!
Birds are able to see ultraviolet light, meaning this gel causes the building to look like it is ablaze.
We encourage the birds to move during small or average infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How do starlings and sparrows access roof spaces? They make use of open soffits, damaged fascias, and openings in ridge tiles!
Safeguarding these vulnerable gaps calls for stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers, chosen specifically to suit the scale and species of invader.
To ensure complete observance to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every exclusionary measures must be planned beyond the active nesting season.
