The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legally protects all UK wild birds.
Although displacing nests, disturbing roosting flocks, or utilising harmful deterrents violates the Act, you are never left defenceless. Solutions still remain to safeguard your space from intrusive pest birds.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control across Hatfield, employing effective deterrent and exclusion methods carried out to ensure no damage comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Hatfield
Droppings from pest birds carry a large number of harmful pathogens.
Did you know dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory illness is spread through inhaling infected dust or contact with contaminated surfaces!
Whenever birds overrun a place of work, the silent threat of ornithosis looms a significant occupational risk.
For catering and food firms in Hatfield, handling guano contamination involves working within strict statutory standards in as well as addressing the primary health risks.
Disease aside, guano accumulates very quickly across gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points!
Do you often see birds perching on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before settling? Their messy droppings also speed up stonework decay, block gutters, and cause dangerous slip hazards on walkways below!
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Hatfield property? You risk worsening building damage, accumulating guano, and a vital installation job that gets pricier the longer you delay!
Whatever winged species appears, our bespoke systems shield your premises. Experience real peace of mind. We protect you and your neighbourhood from health hazards associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Hatfield
Relentless pigeons and seagulls cause the clearest damage upon Hatfield’s business premises, taking over flat rooftops and ledges for lasting nesting spots.
Starling birds present a seasonal risk, accessing roof voids through smaller openings than any alternative species of bird.
Our technicians regularly clean away guano and nest material ahead of installing fixings. Aroused dry guano poses urgent health hazards, and discarded nest material swiftly attracts secondary infestations to the area.
Below is a typical range of the varied avian species we manage on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons regularly gather in large populations around our urban areas.
A lone breeding pair of pigeons can produce six broods annually, which means that populations escalate rapidly on any premises with sheltered ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
When tackling this matter, we must understand that pigeons consistently revisit to their preferred nesting sites, meaning brief scattering tactics are unable to change their behaviour.
Successful pigeon management in Hatfield relies on physical exclusion systems that entirely prevent alighting, thereby prompting these birds to seek different habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Extending their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have now become well-established nesters throughout Hatfield and the surrounding Midlands.
Those noisy birds nest in thick colonies on flat roofs, and becoming territorial during their breeding season from April to August.
Did you know gulls are heavier than pigeons? They require strong post and wire systems or heavy duty netting instead of the weaker pigeon deterrents!
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are closely tailored to fit each particular location.
Instead of offering a standardised, general package, we carefully adapt our professional advice and your bespoke solution based upon roof structure and colony size.
Starlings
Throughout Hatfield, starlings are recognised as a recurring annual avian nuisance.
They squeeze into roof voids through even smaller gaps than pigeons can, quickly taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Imagine the huge volume of faeces and nesting waste a starling roost generates inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Hatfield
How do we deliver outstanding results? We tailor our complete suite of bird control options depending on the exact species, your property type, and the extent of the infestation!
No recommendation is ever really offered until we initially inspect your site and assess the troublesome presence directly.
Would you believe it? Our site surveys are entirely complimentary with entirely no pressure to commit!
Bird netting
As the most comprehensive means of avian exclusion, bird netting successfully shields roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our business fits UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions configured for individual species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By utilising stainless steel anchor systems, these fixings are carefully tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Correctly installed netting remains virtually hidden from street level, delivering a low-profile and very effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledging areas, roof edges, sills, pipes and fittings, and signage takes away landing surfaces.
They discourage birds by rendering landing surfaces less comfortable instead of physically blocking them.
To preserve the delicate visual character of heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the premier choice for delivering an exceptionally unobtrusive deterrent setup.
Due to its exceptional resilience, stainless steel is the best choice for industrial or commercial settings where practical longevity amidst heavy contamination takes precedence over aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly assess your area’s individual requirements first to advise on the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems function? They stretch stainless steel wire between posts to leave ledges, balconies, and roof ridges totally unsafe for perching!
As a discreet deterrent, wire stylishly suits business and civic architecture where looks is paramount, whilst also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Providing an subtle shield, wire elegantly preserves the appearance of prestigious municipal and commercial properties. It discreetly safeguards historic heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To stop unwanted bird activity, simply and easily position the brilliant Bird Free gel dish onto whichever surface area you want to protect!
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, it remains virtually invisible from ground level whilst being readily perceived by the local bird population.
For bird eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building appear to be furiously ablaze.
In instances of low-level avian presence, we utilise gentle discouragement to prompt their move.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How do starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces? They make use of soffits left open, fascias that are damaged, and small gaps in ridge tiles!
Protecting these vulnerable gaps calls for stainless steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, selected carefully to suit the scale and species of invader.
To safeguard wild sanctuaries, such works must be planned carefully outside the active nesting period, complying the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
