In the UK, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects all wild bird.
Although removing nests, disrupting roosting flocks, or utilising harmful deterrents contravenes the Act, you are never left without options. Methods still remain to safeguard your space from unwanted pest birds.
In the still skies of Hillfields, Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control, utilising humane deterrent and exclusion methods that make sure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Hillfields
Faeces from pest birds commonly contain a varied array of harmful microorganisms.
Dried pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by breathing in contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
First, we must identify ornithosis as a significant occupational hazard in places with active bird infestations.
This introduces a level of regulatory oversight for hospitality and food establishments within Hillfields, intensifying the significant health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Disease aside, guano gathers incredibly fast all along gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points!
Before setting up their roosts, birds gather on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, depositing corrosive waste that accelerates the deterioration of masonry, clogs drainage channels, and poses hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Hillfields property increases property damage, collects guano, and means your installation job costs a lot more the longer you delay.
Regardless of the specific avian species, our bespoke plans will successfully protect you, your property, and people in the vicinity from the various health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Hillfields
Feral pigeons and seagulls cause the clearest disruption on Hillfields commercial properties, making permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and sills.
Characterised as a seasonal issue, starlings enter roof voids through narrower openings than alternative species.
Did you know disrupted dried guano actually creates significant health hazards? It certainly does, and abandoned nests attract pesky additional infestations! That is why our incredible technicians thoroughly clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Please explore this range of the avian species we routinely assist with managing on a daily.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons absolutely enjoy to assemble in large flocks throughout busy city centre areas!
To start, a one breeding pair of pigeons can rear six clutches annually, which lets their population to expand fast on properties with sheltered ledges or roof spaces.
As pigeons routinely return to their traditional nest and roost locations, basic deterrent measures are unable to disrupt this hardwired behavioural pattern.
How do we manage pigeon control in Hillfields? Effective physical exclusion installations stop them perching at all, effectively nudging them to choose another spot!
Seagulls and gulls
Both steadily moved more inland, establishing themselves as long-term resident breeders throughout Hillfields and the nearby Midlands.
Gathering in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn extremely hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period lasting from April until August.
Since gulls are significantly heavier than pigeons, you need to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than weaker pigeon control methods.
We meticulously adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each specific location.
Why choose standard packages? We expertly customise our advice and the ultimate solution to suit your precise roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Starlings frequently constitute a yearly avian issue in the Hillfields locality.
You can see they enter roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, taking advantage of unsealed ridge tiles, faulty soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Located discreetly within a roof space, a starling roost collects vast, undesirable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the season.
Bird control solutions in Hillfields
We deliver a wide-ranging suite of avian management techniques, precisely customised to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall level of the infestation.
We never offer suggestions prior to personally examining your premises and the relevant affected population.
Our surveys are entirely complimentary, so you are under any requirement to continue.
Bird netting
Looking for a ultimate shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, shielding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
We secure premises using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene net, woven to specific dimensions, applying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Through utilising stainless steel anchor systems, these fixings are accurately tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once properly fitted, netting remains almost unseen from the street below, delivering a wonderfully unobtrusive yet extremely effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To successfully deny birds a landing space, bird spikes are fitted to ledges and similar surfaces, wall tops, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
They deter birds by rendering landing surfaces less comfortable instead of blocking them.
To safeguard heritage and listed buildings, we suggest polycarbonate spikes because they make sure the deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
Due to its excellent resilience, stainless steel is the ideal choice for industrial and commercial or commercial settings where practical longevity in the face of significant contamination outweighs aesthetic considerations.
We meticulously assess the specific requirements of your premises prior to advising which relevant product will offer the optimal solution.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems secure stainless steel wire between posts to form an unsteady landing surface across ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Providing a very discreet profile, wire is suitable for prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly improper.
This option provides the discreetest deterrent for public and commercial buildings prioritising aesthetics. This also safeguards historic facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To prevent unwanted bird activity, just place the brilliant Bird Free gel dish upon almost any area you want to protect!
Being positioned at a mere 8mm, who could ever spot it from the ground? People will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population absolutely won’t!
Due to avian sensitivity to ultraviolet light, this specially formulated gel causes the building to look as though it is ablaze.
Are you having small bird issues? We will gladly encourage them to move on!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through spaces in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias, starlings and sparrows frequently enter roof spaces.
We secure these entry points using steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, dictated by the aperture measurements and bird species.
To help ensure complete observance to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every exclusionary measures must be scheduled away from the active nesting season.
