Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK receives complete legal protection.
Law firmly forbids damaging nests, disrupting roosting birds, or using harmful deterrents. Fortunately, you still have several legal and legal options available to control nuisance bird populations effectively.
Within Hardwick, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers specialist bird control by using effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Hardwick
Pest bird faeces carry various pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by inhaling contaminated dust or contacting tainted surfaces.
Avian infestations leave workers at risk of the significant occupational health hazard of ornithosis.
Hardwick food and hospitality operators face up to tight regulatory risk together with the critical health and safety dangers of guano contamination.
Aside from biological hazards, guano swiftly accumulates within gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Do you sometimes notice birds perching on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before resting? Their messy droppings can accelerate stonework decay, clog gutters, and lead to slippery slip hazards on walkways below!
Ignoring bird issues at a Hardwick property worsens property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs a lot more the longer you delay.
Pestered by birds? No matter the species, our excellent bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Hardwick
In Hardwick, commercial properties suffer the most visible degradation from feral pigeons and seagulls, which make use of flat rooftops and projections for perennial roosting shelter.
Starlings present a seasonal difficulty, entering roof voids through far smaller openings than any one of the remaining species.
Did you know disrupted dry guano actually presents serious health hazards? It certainly does, and old nests attract pesky secondary infestations! That is the cause our excellent technicians carefully clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Here is a broad selection of the wide-ranging avian species we look after on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild city pigeons gather in high numbers throughout built-up zones.
To commence, a lone breeding pair of pigeons can raise six clutches annually, which allows their population to expand fast on properties with sheltered ledges or roof spaces.
Because the pigeons continuously return to their familiar nesting and roosting sites, surface-level dispersal measures are unable to break this deep-rooted habituation pattern.
Managing pigeon populations in Hardwick necessitates exclusion systems that fully stop landing, thereby encouraging the birds to inhabit different territories.
Seagulls and gulls
Lesser black-backed gulls alongside Herring gulls alongside the lesser black-backed gulls have effectively spread into interior territories, and becoming firmly established breeding groups throughout Hardwick and the wider Midlands.
Gathering in compact colonies upon horizontal roof spaces, these raucous birds exhibit strongly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which generally lasts from April until August.
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls need sturdy post and wire systems or heavy duty netting over the weaker deterrents employed for standard pigeon control.
Every site is distinct, so we tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies separately.
Why accept generic packages? We carefully customise our advice and your best solution to suit your precise roof type and colony size!
Starlings
We identify starlings as a periodic pest bird within Hardwick.
They slip into roof voids through narrower gaps than pigeons can, swiftly using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Nestled quietly within a roof space, a starling roost builds up vast, unsightly quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the course of the season.
Bird control solutions in Hardwick
We install a broad range of bird control systems, adapting our method to the specific species, property design, and total scale of the infestation.
We only recommend solutions after assessing your premises and assessing the problem population.
We offer every site survey entirely free, with no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
As the most complete method of avian exclusion, bird netting effectively protects roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our specialist UV stable polyethylene net is carefully sized for each species, deploying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Utilising stainless steel anchor systems makes sure these fixings are safely tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Correctly installed netting remains virtually hidden from street level, providing a discreet and extremely effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To effectively prevent birds a perching space, bird spikes are fitted to ledges, wall tops, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These function by making the landing surface highly disagreeable rather than forming a tangible barrier to the birds.
To protect heritage and listed buildings, we suggest polycarbonate spikes because they ensure the deterrent is kept fully unobtrusive.
Seeking absolute durability in commercial areas? Hard-wearing stainless steel excels in dirty industrial sites where surviving heavy grime matters much more than pristine looks!
By carefully analysing the particular requirements of your property first, we guarantee our later product recommendation is perfectly tailored.
Bird wire
By utilising tensioned stainless steel wire secured amid posts, bird wire systems establish a unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is essential, while also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Looking for the perfect discreet protection? Wire is perfect for attractive commercial and civic buildings! It is ideal for historic buildings as well, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Served in a neat dish, Bird Free gel remains unobtrusively on any surface needing defence against unwanted avian intrusion.
Standing at a mere 8mm, what person could possibly spot it from the ground? People will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population absolutely won’t!
For bird eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this particular gel makes the building seem to be vividly ablaze.
Are you experiencing minor bird issues? We will happily persuade them to relocate!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How do starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces? They use open soffits, broken fascias, and small gaps in ridge tiles!
Want these areas secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers tailored to the gap size and bird species!
Perform all exclusion work outside the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
