In the United Kingdom, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects all wild bird.
Did you know that disrupting roosts, removing nests, or using damaging deterrents is an offence under the Act? Luckily, this absolutely does not leave you defenceless against pest bird populations!
Delivering specialist avian management within Longbridge, Birmingham Pest Control Co. deploys well-established deterrent and exclusion systems intended to cause no harm whatsoever to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Longbridge
Faeces from pest birds frequently carry a wide-ranging array of disease-causing organisms.
Were you aware dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory infection spreads via inhalation of contaminated dust or handling contaminated surfaces!
Wherever birds take over a place of work, the unseen threat of ornithosis stands as a major occupational hazard.
For restaurants and hospitality premises in Longbridge, guano contamination creates a serious legal burden alongside the instant, alarming health threats.
Apart from carrying disease, guano quickly collects inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before nesting, avian species often gather on architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that actively hastens the deterioration of stonework, blocks drainage gutters, and creates hazardous slip hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Longbridge property? You risk worsening building damage, piling guano, and a necessary installation job that becomes pricier the more time you leave it!
Regardless of the avian variety, our bespoke proactive strategies ensure that you and your property, your premises, and the occupants therein stay fully shielded from bird related health hazards.
Pest bird species in Longbridge
Wild pigeons and seagulls cause the most noticeable damage on Longbridge’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges offer them continual roosting shelter.
Starlings create a yearly issue, entering roof voids through openings that are considerably smaller than either species needs.
Prior before installing any attachments, our professional team thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This step is essential because dry guano poses serious health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
These are a few of the bird species we handle every day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons congregate in dense densities throughout city zones.
One pair of pigeons raises up to six annual nests. Populations grow fast on any structure with quiet ledges or vacant roof voids.
As pigeons routinely revisit their traditional nesting and roost locations, simple scaring measures fail to interrupt this deeply ingrained behaviour pattern.
Proper pigeon management in Longbridge relies on physical exclusion systems that completely stop alighting, thereby encouraging these birds to move to different habitats in another location.
Seagulls and gulls
Extending their range far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have since become established nesters throughout Longbridge and the wider Midlands.
Did you know these boisterous birds settle on level roofs in crowded colonies? Watch out, as they become highly hostile during nesting season from April to August!
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls demand sturdy post and wire systems or heavier-duty netting over the weaker deterrents utilised for standard pigeon control.
We meticulously customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each particular setting.
Instead of offering a standardised, general package, we meticulously tailor our expert advice and your bespoke solution based upon the roof structure and the colony size.
Starlings
We regard starlings as a yearly pest bird within Longbridge.
By exploiting open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and broken fascia boards, they enter roof voids through gaps smaller than those taken advantage of by pigeons.
Nestled quietly within a roof space, a starling roost builds up vast, undesirable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the season.
Bird control solutions in Longbridge
We supply a wide-ranging suite of avian management techniques, carefully tailored to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall extent of the infestation.
How can we really suggest recommendations without examining your site and the affected population first?
Every first property assessment is fully free, with absolutely any obligation for future commitment.
Bird netting
As the ultimate exclusion method, bird netting protects roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to stop birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Our firm supplies and installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions specified for specific species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By employing stainless steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
Look up! Expertly installed netting is barely not visible from the street, delivering an highly unobtrusive and effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To efficiently deny birds a landing space, bird spikes are attached to ledges, wall tops, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These operate by turning the landing surface extremely disagreeable rather than creating a tangible barrier to the birds.
How do you protect precious heritage and listed buildings subtly? Outstanding polycarbonate spikes are the ideal option for a fully hidden defence!
In workshop or trade settings, stainless steel provides exceptional resilience, which makes it the perfect choice when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over looks.
We initially uncover the unique narrative of your property, so that our eventual product recommendation is a properly ideal solution.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems tension stainless steel wire between posts to form an unstable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a most discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where looks is paramount, while also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
This option provides the discreetest deterrent for public and commercial buildings that prioritise aesthetics. It also safeguards heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To shield any specified spot from unwanted bird behaviour, you simply place a little dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
At just a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, but your bird population surely will.
Birds see ultraviolet light, so this gel causes the building to look like it is being ablaze.
We persuade the birds to shift elsewhere during minor or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings often enter roof voids by using openings in ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and degraded fascias.
We secure these entry points using stainless steel mesh or correct vent covers, picked to suit the particular bird species and opening size.
How do we meet the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We plan exclusion work beyond active nesting seasons!
