Under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete protection under law.
Whilst destroying nests, disrupting roosts, or employing harmful methods constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are certainly not left unprotected against the issues of nuisance bird populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control in Longden, using kind deterrent and exclusion methods to safeguard protected birds from injury.

Health risks from pest birds in Longden
Faeces from pest birds often harbour a wide-ranging selection of pathogens.
Dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that brings about ornithosis, a lung disease caught via inhaling tainted dust or direct contact with infected surfaces and objects.
Ornithosis is a major workplace health risk within professional environments affected by avian infestations.
For restaurants and hospitality venues in Longden, guano contamination creates a serious legal burden alongside the immediate, alarming health threats.
Aside from pathogenic hazards, guano rapidly builds up within guttering, on roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before setting up their roosts, birds gather on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, depositing corrosive waste that speeds up the deterioration of masonry, clogs drainage channels, and introduces hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
When you leave bird issues untreated at a Longden property, you face progressive structural damage and building guano, which gradually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Whichever winged species appears, our bespoke systems shield your premises. Discover genuine peace of mind. We protect you and your local area from health hazards caused by birds.
Pest bird species in Longden
Wild pigeons and seagulls inflict the most visible harm on Longden commercial properties, finding permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and edges.
As they return each season, starlings enter roof voids through gaps far narrower than either one requires.
During each bird service, our technicians carefully remove every guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This important preparation is vital because dry guano when disturbed poses substantial health risks, whilst discarded nesting material frequently attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Here is a typical sample of the diverse avian species we handle every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often gather in significant clusters across urban environments.
One pigeon pair rears up to six annual clutches. Populations increase quickly on any structure with quiet ledges or vacant roof voids.
When tackling this issue, we must acknowledge that pigeons consistently come back to their chosen nesting areas, so that temporary dispersal measures can not break their patterns.
Reliable pigeon control in Longden needs physical exclusion systems that stop landing completely, encouraging the birds to relocate to another area.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have spread their territory inland, establishing lasting nesting colonies across Longden and the broader Midlands.
Gathering in compact groups upon horizontal roof spaces, these noisy birds display highly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which usually lasts from April until August.
Did you know gulls are more substantial than pigeons? They need strong post and wire systems or hard-wearing netting instead of those less robust pigeon deterrents!
We precisely customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each individual site.
We design bespoke approaches and support suited to your roof type and colony size rather than deploying generic plans.
Starlings
Starlings consistently represent a annual avian nuisance within the Longden area.
They enter vulnerable roof voids through crevices far less than a pigeon would need, taking advantage of dislodged ridge tiles, broken soffits, and split fascia boards.
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting inside a roof space will generate a considerable amount of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Longden
We systematically pick from our wide-ranging range of bird control procedures, tailoring each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the size of the infestation.
Our procedure begins by assessing your site and the problem population before we suggest any options.
We offer every site survey entirely free, with no obligation to continue.
Bird netting
To provide complete exclusion, bird netting protects roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This protects everything, successfully denying access to nesting and nesting sites.
Our expert UV stable polyethylene net is meticulously sized for each species, deploying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we secure fixings into masonry, metal, or softwood? Indeed, using stainless steel anchor solutions!
Once correctly fitted, netting remains almost unseen from the street below, offering a wonderfully subtle yet extremely effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To completely prevent landing surfaces, bird spikes are carefully fitted on ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage parapets, windowsills, pipes and signage, and signage and other surfaces.
They discourage birds by turning landing surfaces less comfortable instead of physically preventing them.
How do you preserve precious heritage and listed buildings unobtrusively? Outstanding polycarbonate spikes are the perfect choice for a fully hidden defence!
Owing to its excellent resilience, stainless steel represents the best choice for industrial and commercial or commercial settings where operational longevity despite heavy contamination supersedes aesthetic considerations.
What is your location actually need? We identify those unique details initially, ensuring we suggest your absolute perfect match!
Bird wire
To readily deter pests, bird wire systems use tensioned stainless steel wire between posts, creating an insecure landing surface on horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where visual appeal is key, whilst also protecting historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
This option provides the most discreet deterrent for public and commercial buildings with an emphasis on appearance. It also safeguards heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any specified surface from unwanted avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed within a compact dish positioned on that area.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, yet your bird population definitely will.
As birds see ultraviolet light, this clever gel makes the building appear as if it is completely on fire!
When avian gatherings are kept limited, we will gently persuade these winged guests to look for shelter somewhere else.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Usually, starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces through damaged ridge tiles, open soffits, and deteriorated fascias.
We secure these entry points using mesh or specially made vent covers, determined by the aperture size and bird species.
To guarantee full adherence with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should closely plan any exclusion work outside the active nesting period.
Bird control for Longden businesses
To protect business premises from birds reliably, we blend external physical barriers with routine inspections to identify any newly forming roosting areas.
