The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 statutorily safeguards every wild bird within the United Kingdom.
Whilst removing nests, interfering with roosts, or employing harmful measures constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are in no way left defenceless against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
Within Hilton, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers specialist bird control by using reliable deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Hilton
Pest bird droppings unseenly harbour a hazardous array of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the harmful pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by breathing in tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Bird infestations expose workers subject to the serious occupational health hazard of ornithosis.
This introduces a level of legal oversight for hospitality and food establishments within Hilton, worsening the significant health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Aside from biological hazards, guano rapidly accumulates in gutters, upon roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before breeding, avian species regularly assemble along architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that significantly hastens the deterioration of stonework, obstructs drainage gutters, and creates hazardous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
When you keep bird issues unresolved at a Hilton property, you face growing structural damage and building guano, which steadily increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Pestered by birds? No matter the species, our excellent bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Hilton
Wild pigeons and gulls create the most obvious damage on Hilton’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges give them continual roosting shelter.
As a periodic nuisance, starlings squeeze into roof voids through considerably smaller gaps than either of them!
Prior before installing any fixings, our professional specialists carefully remove all guano and nest material. This preparation is vital because dry guano creates major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often attracts secondary infestations to the treated area.
Here is a broad range of the wide-ranging avian species we manage on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons frequently congregate in substantial populations throughout our built-up areas.
As a breeding pair of pigeons can rear up to six broods annually, their population multiplies rapidly upon any structure offering protected ledges or unoccupied roof voids.
When dealing with this issue, we need to understand that pigeons regularly revisit to their selected nesting spots, which means brief scattering measures can not alter their patterns.
Definitive pigeon control in Hilton is based on physical exclusion systems that stop landing entirely, carefully encouraging these birds to find different places to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Expanding their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have already become established nesters throughout Hilton and the surrounding Midlands.
Did you know these loud birds roost on flat roofs in dense clusters? Be careful, as they become very aggressive during breeding season from April to August!
Having more mass than pigeons, gulls require durable post and wire systems or heavier-duty netting over the lighter deterrents utilised for standard pigeon control.
We meticulously tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each individual setting.
Rather than offering a standard, basic package, we meticulously customise our expert advice and your bespoke solution based upon roof layout and colony size.
Starlings
We recognise starlings as a periodic pest bird within Hilton.
You will see they get into roof voids via smaller-sized entry points than pigeons, taking advantage of unsealed ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and split fascia boards.
Located discreetly within a roof space, a starling roost collects vast, unwelcome quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the course of the season.
Bird control solutions in Hilton
We deliver a thorough suite of avian management techniques, carefully adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall extent of the infestation.
No proper solution is ever provided until we first of all survey your location and evaluate the unwanted issue in person.
We carry out all site surveys at no cost with no commitment needed.
Bird netting
Looking for the best shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the fullest exclusion system, shielding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
We install UV stable polyethylene net with mesh openings tailored to each species, utilising 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Sturdy stainless steel anchor systems reliably tighten these fixings into stonework, metal, or wood.
Properly installed netting remains virtually invisible from the street, providing a subtle and very effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To entirely remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are professionally fitted on ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage parapets, windowsills and adjacent areas, pipes, and signage.
Instead of establishing a solid barrier, these systems work by creating the landing experience very inhospitable for the birds.
As protecting cherished heritage assets and protected buildings, polycarbonate spikes are the ideal choice because their discouraging presence stays virtually invisible.
For punishing industrial landscapes where enduring relentless dirt takes precedence over aesthetic appeal, resilient stainless steel remains the ideal choice. It just lasts.
We carefully assess your site’s unique requirements first to advise on the best fitting product.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems stretch stainless steel wire between posts to establish an insecure landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most subtle deterrent, wire stylishly suits commercial and civic architecture where appearance is paramount, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Looking for the ideal discreet protection? Wire is excellent for elegant commercial and civic structures! It is excellent for historic buildings too, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Arranged in a neat dish, Bird Free gel remains unobtrusively on any surface in need of defence against unwanted avian intrusion.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, it is virtually unnoticeable from ground level whilst being readily perceived by your local bird population.
For avian eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building seem to be furiously ablaze.
In instances of minor avian activity, we utilise careful discouragement to prompt their relocation.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings often penetrate roof voids by exploiting entry points in ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and damaged fascias.
We close off these entry points using stainless steel mesh or suitable vent covers, picked to match the relevant bird species and opening size.
Undertake all exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to remain compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
