Under the terms of the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete protection under law.
Whilst destroying nests, disrupting roosts, or applying harmful methods constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are in no way left defenceless against the problems of nuisance bird populations.
In the still skies of Heath, Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers reliable bird control, utilising safe deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Heath
Did you know pest bird droppings are really packed with diverse pathogens?
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the disease-causing pathogen causing ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by inhaling tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Wherever birds invade a place of work, the hidden threat of ornithosis hangs over a major occupational danger.
For restaurants and hospitality venues in Heath, guano contamination brings a serious legal burden alongside the instant, unsettling health threats.
Aside from biological hazards, guano rapidly accumulates inside gutters, upon roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before forming their roosts, birds assemble on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving behind corrosive waste that speeds up the deterioration of masonry, clogs drainage channels, and introduces hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Heath property escalates property damage, builds up guano, and ensures your installation job costs a lot more the longer you wait.
Regardless of the exact avian species, our customised plans will effectively protect you and your property, your building, and those around you from the various health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Heath
Relentless feral pigeons cause the most conspicuous harm upon Heath’s business premises, claiming flat rooftops and ledges for permanent nesting spots.
Starlings pose a yearly challenge, entering roof voids through gaps that are much smaller than either species needs.
Throughout every bird service, our technicians safely clear away guano and nest material before adding any fixings. This vital preparatory work helps prevent the health hazards associated with disrupting dried guano, whilst ensuring old nesting debris does not attract secondary infestations.
Below is a good selection of the wide-ranging avian species we care for on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons frequently gather in large populations throughout our urban areas.
Did you know a pigeon pair can produce up to 6 clutches annually? They increase incredibly fast on any structure with unoccupied perches or loft spaces!
When addressing this matter, we have to recognise that pigeons repeatedly revisit to their chosen nesting sites, which means temporary displacement measures can not break their patterns.
How do we manage pigeon control in Heath? Brilliant physical exclusion installations keep them settling at all, effectively encouraging them to look for another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Spreading their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have already become firmly established nesters throughout Heath and the surrounding Midlands.
Assembling in crowded clusters upon horizontal roof spaces, these raucous birds exhibit highly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which typically lasts from April until August.
Did you know gulls are weightier than pigeons? They require strong post and wire systems or durable netting instead of those lighter pigeon deterrents!
We accurately adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each particular location.
To assist you as well as possible, we customise our recommendations and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings frequently constitute a seasonal bird problem within the Heath locality.
They gain access to roof voids through smaller apertures than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Over the course of a season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect significant quantities of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Heath
We use a comprehensive suite of bird control methodologies, meticulously selected according to the specific avian species, the structural structure, and the total magnitude of the infestation.
We solely suggest solutions after examining your premises and assessing the problem population.
Our site assessments are entirely complimentary, which leaves you under no requirement to go ahead.
Bird netting
Searching for the ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most comprehensive exclusion system, shielding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Want the highest level of protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net provides custom mesh sizes, with 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
By using steel anchor systems, you can secure fixings into masonry, steel, or timber.
When correctly fitted, netting remains virtually imperceptible from the pavement, offering a very sophisticated and effective avian control method.
Bird spikes
To fully remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are carefully fitted on ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage parapets and similar features, windowsills, pipes, and signage, pipes and signage, and signage.
Instead of physically barricading the avian guests, they merely render the landing experience highly disagreeable.
When safeguarding heritage and listed properties, polycarbonate spikes offer the perfect solution to make sure the essential deterrent remains completely unobtrusive.
In industrial or business environments where withstanding fouling is placed first over appearance, stainless steel offers enhanced robustness and extended lifetime.
By carefully analysing the specific requirements and needs of your property first, we ensure our subsequent product recommendation is well suited.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems secure stainless steel wire between posts to establish an insecure landing surface across ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most most discreet deterrent, wire stylishly suits business and civic architecture where looks is key, while also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Searching for the perfect discreet deterrent? Wire is excellent for elegant commercial and civic buildings! It is excellent for historic buildings as well, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To shield any chosen area from unwelcome bird behavioural activity, you simply and easily put a small dish of Bird Free gel onto that surface.
At just a mere 8mm in height, it is virtually invisible from ground level whilst being readily perceived by nearby bird population.
Because birds perceive ultraviolet light, this specialised gel helps make the building appear to them as if it were on fire.
We prompt the birds to relocate during minor or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings frequently penetrate roof voids by using openings in ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and worn fascias.
We protect these entry points using mesh or custom-made vent covers, depending on the aperture measurements and bird species.
To ensure full observance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully schedule any exclusion work away from the active nesting period.

Securing commercial properties from pest birds requires using perimeter defences with scheduled inspection regimes to spot newly developing roosting sites.
