Incredibly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 safeguards all wild bird in the UK.
Legislation explicitly forbids damaging nests, disturbing roosting birds, or applying unsafe deterrents. Fortunately, you still have several legal and lawful options available to deal with nuisance bird populations effectively.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides professional bird control in Hollinswood, using non-harmful deterrent and exclusion methods to safeguard protected birds from injury.

Health risks from pest birds in Hollinswood
Faeces from pest birds carry a wide variety of disease-causing organisms.
Please note that dehydrated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by breathing in infected dust or contacting soiled surfaces.
Avian infestations put workers to the serious occupational health hazard of ornithosis.
For catering businesses and hospitality premises in Hollinswood, guano contamination brings a daunting legal burden as well as the instant, unsettling health threats.
In addition to health hazards, bird droppings build up rapidly inside gutters, on roofing materials, and by drainage points.
Before coming to roost, birds congregate along ledges, parapets, and roof borders. Below them, accumulating droppings quietly accelerates decay in the stonework, blocks gutters, and turns the walkways below into highly slick hazards.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Hollinswood property invites progressive structural damage and accumulating guano, ensuring the essential installation job only becomes more expensive as time moves on.
Pestered by birds? Regardless of the species, our brilliant bespoke systems effectively protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Hollinswood
Relentless feral pigeons and seagulls cause the most conspicuous destruction upon Hollinswood’s commercial properties, seizing flat rooftops and ledges for lasting nesting spots.
As a recurring nuisance, starlings force themselves into roof voids through far tighter gaps than either of the other species!
Throughout each bird service, our technicians safely clean away guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This vital preparation reduces the health hazards associated with disrupting dried guano, whilst helping ensure old nesting debris does not invite secondary infestations.
Below is a broad range of the varied avian species we handle on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons frequently congregate in significant populations around our city areas.
One pair of pigeons produces up to six annual nests. Numbers grow fast on any structure with quiet ledges or unused roof voids.
When dealing with this issue, we have to recognise that pigeons regularly revisit to their selected nesting areas, which means brief displacement measures can not change their behaviour.
Definitive pigeon control in Hollinswood is based on exclusion measures that stop landing entirely, gently encouraging these birds to find different places to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls alongside the lesser black-backed gulls have safely established themselves in interior territories, and becoming long-established breeding colonies throughout Hollinswood and the broader Midlands.
Gathered in dense colonies atop flat roofs, these noisy birds turn fiercely hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period extending from April until August.
Due to their greater mass compared to pigeons, gulls necessitate post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon management.
We thoughtfully tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies to fit each specific setting.
We engineer bespoke solutions and guidance suited to your roof type and colony size in place of using generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings consistently represent a annual avian nuisance in the Hollinswood region.
They gain access to roof voids through narrower apertures than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void build up a substantial amount of faeces and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Hollinswood
Every sanctuary requires protection and care. We coordinate a range of bird control systems, adapting each response to the particular species, the individual structure, and the full scale of the infestation.
Our procedure begins by reviewing your site and the problem population before we propose any options.
We offer all site surveys at no cost, with no pressure to go ahead.
Bird netting
As a most thorough method of avian exclusion, bird netting effectively covers roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our system pairs UV stable polyethylene net for every species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are accurately tightened into masonry, steel, or timber.
Check up! Properly installed netting is barely unseen from the street, delivering an highly discreet and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To successfully eliminate landing surfaces, bird spikes are securely installed on ledgес, copings, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
Rather than establishing a solid barrier, these systems function by making the landing experience very inhospitable for the birds.
When safeguarding heritage and listed properties, polycarbonate spikes provide the best option to help ensure the necessary deterrent remains completely unobtrusive.
In industrial or business spaces where withstanding fouling is given priority over appearance, stainless steel offers enhanced strength and prolonged lifetime.
We thoroughly review the particular needs of your premises prior to suggesting which particular product will provide the most suitable solution.
Bird wire
To easily deter pests, bird wire systems use tensioned stainless steel wire between posts, producing an insecure landing surface on horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Providing a very unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It equally preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally improper.
Looking for the ideal discreet protection? Wire is ideal for elegant commercial and civic properties! It is brilliant for historic buildings as well, entirely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To deter nuisance bird behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed in a small container positioned upon any location requiring specific protection.
At only eight millimetres in height, it remains effectively invisible to those on the ground, yet your bird population will certainly notice it.
For avian eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this particular gel makes the building seem to be furiously ablaze.
In instances of low-level avian presence, we utilise mild discouragement to prompt their departure.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and small birds quickly sneak into quiet roof spaces through gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Need these openings secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
Undertake any required exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to remain compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
