The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 provides a statutory lawful embrace around every wild bird in the UK.
Whilst removing nests, disrupting roosts, or using harmful methods constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are in no way left unprotected against the problems of nuisance bird populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control across High Town, using effective deterrent and exclusion methods carried out to ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in High Town
Faeces from pest birds contain a wide variety of pathogens.
Please be aware that dehydrated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by inhaling infected dust or contacting soiled surfaces.
Ornithosis represents a major workplace health risk within commercial environments subject to avian infestations.
For food businesses and hospitality venues in High Town, guano contamination introduces a serious legal burden alongside the direct, unsettling health threats.
Apart from spreading disease, guano rapidly builds up inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Birds occupy ledges, rooflines, and eaves before settling. The resulting mess beneath these areas accelerate stonework decay, block gutters, and create immediate slip dangers on walkways below.
Neglecting avian pests at a High Town premises leads to worsening structural deterioration, growing guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become progressively more expensive over time.
Regardless of the specific avian species, our tailored plans will effectively protect your premises, your building, and those around you from the range of health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in High Town
Urban pigeons and seagulls cause the most visible damage on High Town’s commercial buildings. Level rooftops and ledging give these pests with permanent roosting shelter.
As they return seasonally, starlings enter roof voids through spaces much narrower than both requires.
Our experts regularly clean away guano and nest material ahead of installing fixings. Disturbed dry guano creates immediate health concerns, and left nest material rapidly draws secondary infestations to the area.
Please explore this selection of the avian species we frequently help manage on a daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons really like to gather in massive groups throughout crowded city downtown areas!
Did you know pigeon pairs can hatch up to 6 clutches annually? Their numbers grow at a remarkable rate on almost any structure with undisturbed perches or loft spaces!
When addressing this matter, we need to acknowledge that pigeons regularly revisit to their preferred nesting spots, meaning short-term dispersal methods can not break their habits.
How do we tackle pigeon control in High Town? Effective physical exclusion installations prevent them perching at all, effectively nudging them to choose another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have effectively expanded deeper inland, settling as permanent breeding residents throughout High Town and the neighbouring Midlands.
Did you notice these noisy birds roost on level roofs in crowded groups? Take care, as they grow very territorial during mating season from April to August!
Were you aware gulls are heavier than pigeons? They demand robust post and wire systems or durable netting instead of the weaker pigeon deterrents!
We carefully adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each individual setting.
We reject generic, mass-produced packages. Instead, we tailor our guidance and your tailored solution around the unique architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
Starlings regularly constitute a seasonal avian issue in the High Town locality.
They infiltrate roof voids through narrower apertures than pigeons, using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up vast volumes of droppings and nesting materials over a single season.
Bird control solutions in High Town
Every refuge merits careful protection. We coordinate diverse bird control systems, adapting each response to the specific species, the individual structure, and the true scale of the infestation.
No suitable recommendation is ever actually suggested until we first survey your location and assess the problem presence directly.
We offer every site survey entirely free, with no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
Looking for the ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
We secure areas using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene mesh, woven to specific dimensions, applying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By employing steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
Once securely fitted, the netting remains virtually hard to see from the street, providing a extremely unobtrusive and effective bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To prevent birds from perching, we install bird spikes on pipes, windowsills, signs, ledges, and parapets.
Rather than establishing a physical barrier, these systems operate by making the landing experience highly inhospitable for the birds.
When preserving heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the perfect solution to make sure the essential deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
Seeking total toughness in industrial settings? Hard-wearing stainless steel stands out in grimy industrial sites where withstanding heavy grime matters far more than pristine appearance!
To help you make the right choice, we closely evaluate your specific space before recommending the most suitable product.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems stretch stainless steel wire between posts to create an unsteady landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly unobtrusive profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It also preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally inappropriate.
First, wire delivers the least conspicuous solution for commercial and municipal properties where appearance is crucial. Secondly, this choice protects heritage sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unsuitable.
Bird free gel
Served in a tidy dish, Bird Free gel sits quietly on any surface needing defence against unwanted and persistent avian intrusion.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, ground observers will not notice this profile, but your bird population definitely will.
Because birds perceive UV wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building appear to be ablaze.
In cases of low-level avian activity, we use gentle discouragement to nudge their relocation.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How can starlings and sparrows get into roof spaces? They make use of soffits left open, damaged fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles!
Looking to secure these areas secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
Perform any required exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
