The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act statutorily protects every wild bird within the whole of the United Kingdom.
Whilst dismantling nests, interfering with roosts, or applying harmful deterrents constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are by no means left defenceless against the problems of nuisance bird populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Hungerford
Faeces from pest birds commonly harbour a wide-ranging range of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
In professional environments impacted by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a distinct risk to worker wellbeing.
For hotel and catering firms in Hungerford, managing guano contamination involves complying with strict statutory standards in along with addressing the primary health risks.
Apart from spreading disease, guano swiftly accumulates inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Birds occupy perches, rooflines, and eaves before roosting. The subsequent mess beneath these areas accelerate stonework erosion, block gutters, and pose immediate slip hazards on walkways below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Hungerford property? You invite worsening building damage, accumulating guano, and a necessary installation job that gets pricier the more time you wait!
Whatever winged species appears, our bespoke systems protect your premises. Enjoy real peace of mind. We protect you and your community from health hazards linked to birds.
Pest bird species in Hungerford
Feral pigeons and sea birds cause the clearest damage on Hungerford’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges provide them ongoing roosting shelter.
As a seasonal nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through far tighter gaps than either of them!
Prior before installing any fixings, our professional team thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This step is important because dry guano poses major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material frequently draws secondary infestations to the treated area.
Please browse this collection of the avian species we regularly manage on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons really love to cluster in massive numbers throughout bustling city centres!
Rearing upwards of six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership multiplies with surprising speed. They soon take over any structure offering peaceful ledges or vacant roof spaces.
Because the pigeons repeatedly return to their established nesting and roosting locations, basic dispersal measures fail to alter this deeply ingrained behavioural pattern.
Successful pigeon management in Hungerford relies on physical exclusion systems that fully prevent alighting, thereby encouraging these birds to seek different habitats in other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Did you know that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have come inland? They are currently nesting well across Hungerford and the broader Midlands!
Congregating in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these noisy birds turn highly hostile during their breeding season, a tense period lasting from April until August.
With their significant weight, gulls need robust post and wire systems or heavy duty netting. Lighter pigeon deterrents simply not work here.
We carefully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each specific setting.
Why settle for one-size-fits-all packages? We passionately customise our advice and your best solution to fit your precise roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Throughout Hungerford, starlings are seen as a regular time-honoured avian nuisance.
By taking advantage of open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and damaged fascia boards, they access roof voids through openings narrower than those used by pigeons.
Imagine the huge volume of droppings and nesting debris a starling roost generates inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Hungerford
Every refuge merits protection and care. We design diverse bird control systems, customising each response to the specific species, the unique structure, and the actual scale of the infestation.
We exclusively give expert recommendations after carefully inspecting your actual site and the specific group.
We provide all site surveys entirely free, with no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
As an especially thorough method of avian exclusion, bird netting secures roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to block pest birds any nesting or roosting sites.
Our company fits UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions configured for specific species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we tension fastenings into masonry, metal, or wood? Indeed, using corrosion-resistant anchor systems!
Once securely fitted, the netting remains practically unnoticeable from the street, offering a very discreet and successful bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
How do we block unwanted landing spots? We install bird spikes onto raised ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
How do they function? They make landing highly uncomfortable instead of physically blocking the birds!
As safeguarding precious heritage assets and protected buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the ideal solution because their protective effect stays virtually unseen.
In workshop or business settings, stainless steel delivers impressive durability, making it the ideal option when enduring heavy dirt is valued over visual appearance.
We thoroughly review your site’s specific requirements first to recommend the best fitting product.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems operate? They stretch stainless steel wire between posts to make ledges, balconies, and roof ridges completely unsafe for touching down!
Providing a highly discreet profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally inappropriate.
Searching for the perfect discreet protection? Wire is excellent for attractive commercial and civic buildings! It is excellent for historic buildings too, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Arranged in a smart dish, Bird Free gel sits quietly on any surface requiring defence against unwanted and persistent avian intrusion.
Being positioned at a mere 8mm, what person could ever spot it from the ground? People will entirely miss its presence, but your local bird population definitely won’t!
For bird eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building appear to be furiously ablaze.
We encourage the birds to move during light or moderate infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias, sparrows often get into roof spaces.
Looking to secure these openings secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers matched to the gap size and bird species!
To preserve wild habitats, exclusion works must be planned carefully beyond the active breeding season, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
