Under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK receives complete protection under law.
Although the relevant legislation firmly prohibits damaging nests, disrupting roosting birds, or using harmful deterrents, you still retain legal and effective means of safeguarding your property from problem avian populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Kings Heath
Pest bird droppings unseenly hold a hazardous array of pathogens.
Did you know dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This infection is spread by inhaling infected dust or contact with contaminated surfaces!
Were you aware that ornithosis is a serious workplace health risk wherever bird infestations occur?
This adds a layer of regulatory monitoring for food and hospitality establishments within Kings Heath, intensifying the serious safety and health hazards of guano contamination.
In addition to health hazards, bird droppings accumulate rapidly inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before forming their roosts, birds assemble on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, depositing corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, blocks drainage channels, and introduces hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
When you leave bird issues unresolved at a Kings Heath property, you risk growing structural damage and building guano, which gradually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Whatever the bird species, our customised interventions help ensure that yourself, your property, and all residents remain fully shielded against the health dangers associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Kings Heath
In Kings Heath, business premises face the most conspicuous deterioration from feral pigeons and seagulls, which use horizontal rooftops and projections for continual roosting shelter.
These birds pose a periodic threat, entering roof voids through more restricted openings than either species of bird.
Prior to securing any specialist fixings, our technicians diligently cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety comes first. Disturbed dry droppings present severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly invite secondary infestations to thrive.
Which wonderful bird species do we help manage every single day? Have a look!
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons really love to gather in large groups throughout busy city downtown areas!
Raising as many as six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership grows with remarkable speed. They soon take over any structure offering peaceful ledges or vacant roof spaces.
Pigeons reliably go back to established nesting and perching sites, which means short-lived scaring methods fail to break their customary behaviour.
Effective pigeon control in Kings Heath depends on physical exclusion systems that prevent landing completely, making the birds to relocate to a different location.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have expanded their presence inland, forming lasting nesting colonies throughout Kings Heath and the broader Midlands.
Forming dense colonies on level rooftops, these clamorous birds exhibit hostile behaviour during their reproductive season, which generally spans from April until August.
As gulls are considerably heavier than pigeons, you must implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than lighter pigeon control methods.
We adapt every gull colony bird control system for the individual location.
Instead of offering a standard, basic package, we meticulously tailor our expert advice and your tailored solution based upon the roof structure and the colony size.
Starlings
Starling birds can be a periodic pest bird within Kings Heath.
They enter roof voids through smaller apertures than pigeons, taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Tucked away within a roof space, a starling roost collects vast, undesirable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the period.
Bird control solutions in Kings Heath
We implement a thorough suite of bird control methodologies, meticulously selected according to the specific avian species, the structural structure, and the overall magnitude of the infestation.
We solely propose solutions after inspecting your premises and reviewing the problem population.
Guess what? Our property surveys are entirely free with absolutely no pressure whatsoever to commit!
Bird netting
As a most complete method of avian exclusion, bird netting efficiently shields roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to prevent birds access to roosting and nesting 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.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
When properly fitted, netting remains practically imperceptible from the pavement, delivering a extremely sophisticated and successful avian control method.
Bird spikes
To entirely deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are carefully fitted on ledges and similar surfaces parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, windowsills, pipes and signage, and signage.
How do they work? They leave landing very uncomfortable as opposed to physically blocking the birds!
Choose polycarbonate spikes for use on heritage and listed buildings to reduce the noticeable appearance of the deterrent installation.
Looking for complete toughness in industrial settings? Durable stainless steel excels in grimy industrial sites where withstanding heavy grime matters a lot more than pristine looks!
We carefully evaluate the distinct requirements of your premises before suggesting which relevant product will provide the best solution.
Bird wire
By using tight stainless steel wire fastened between posts, bird wire systems effectively provide an unstable perching area across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is essential, whilst also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
First, wire provides the subtlest deterrent for business and public properties where appearance is crucial. Secondly, this choice protects listed sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unsuitable.
Bird free gel
Served in a neat dish, Bird Free gel rests discreetly on any surface needing defence against unsought avian intrusion.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, yet your bird population certainly will.
Birds are able to see ultraviolet light, meaning this gel makes it appear the building look like it is ablaze.
Are you having slight bird issues? We will gladly help them to find another home!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and broken fascias, sparrows frequently get into roof spaces.
We close off these entry points using stainless steel mesh or correct vent covers, picked to match the relevant bird species and opening size.
How do you comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We schedule exclusion work beyond active nesting seasons!
