Incredibly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 covers every single wild bird in the UK!
Whilst dismantling nests, disturbing roosts, or applying harmful deterrents constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are by no means left defenceless against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers skilled bird control across Marton, using highly successful deterrent and exclusion methods implemented to ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Marton
Pest bird droppings quietly contain a dangerous range of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by inhaling tainted dust or touching compromised surfaces.
First, we need to identify ornithosis as a serious occupational hazard in areas with ongoing bird infestations.
This brings a degree of official oversight for hospitality and food establishments within Marton, worsening the serious health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Aside from biological hazards, guano rapidly accumulates in gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before forming their roosts, birds assemble on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, blocks drainage channels, and creates hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Marton property? You face further building damage, building up guano, and a important installation job that gets pricier the longer you delay!
Irrespective of the avian species, our bespoke interventions guarantee that yourself, your property, and every occupant stay completely protected against the health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Marton
Which bird species soil Marton’s commercial premises the worst? Feral pigeons and seagulls are to blame, taking advantage of flat roofs and ledges for perfect, year-round roosting shelter!
They pose a recurring issue, accessing roof voids through far smaller openings than any one of the other species.
Before 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.
These are only a small number of the magnificent bird species we care for every day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons assemble in high concentrations throughout city zones.
A single breeding pair of pigeons can raise six broods annually, which means that populations grow quickly on any site with peaceful ledges or unused loft spaces.
Because pigeons continuously come back to their familiar nesting and roosting sites, basic dispersal measures are unable to disrupt this deeply ingrained behavioural pattern.
Controlling pigeon populations in Marton requires physical exclusion systems that entirely stop landing, thereby prompting the birds to colonise alternative territories.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls alongside Herring gulls have safely established themselves in interior territories, and becoming well-established breeding populations throughout Marton and the wider Midlands.
Creating dense nests on level rooftops, these loud birds exhibit hostile behaviour during their reproductive season, which typically 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 passionately tailor our bird control systems for every single specific gull colony location!
We develop bespoke approaches and support tailored to your roof type and colony size in place of deploying generic plans.
Starlings
Starlings can be a seasonal problem bird within Marton.
You will see they access roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, using unsealed ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Imagine the huge volume of droppings and nesting waste a starling roost generates inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Marton
We carefully choose from our wide-ranging range of bird control procedures, customising each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the extent of the infestation.
We simply offer expert advice after carefully inspecting your physical site and the particular population in question.
We conduct all site surveys without charge with no commitment needed.
Bird netting
As the most effective exclusion approach, bird netting secures roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to prevent birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
We deploy UV stable polyethylene net with mesh openings tailored to each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Durable stainless steel anchor systems safely tension these fixings into masonry, steel, or wood.
Correctly installed netting stays virtually hidden from the street, delivering a discreet and highly effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To deter birds from settling, we fit bird spikes on pipes, sills, signage, outcrops, and low walls.
They function by turning the landing area feel less comfortable, subtly discouraging the birds instead of physically stopping them.
How do we preserve valuable heritage and listed buildings subtly? Incredible polycarbonate spikes are the perfect solution for a completely hidden defence!
Because of its exceptional resilience, stainless steel makes the optimal choice for industrial and commercial or commercial settings where practical longevity in the face of heavy contamination supersedes aesthetic considerations.
To help you the most suitable choice, we thoroughly review your specific space before proposing the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems work? They tension stainless steel wire between posts to leave ledges, balconies, and roof ridges entirely unsuitable for touching down!
Offering a very unobtrusive profile, wire is suitable for prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely improper.
This option provides the most discreet deterrent for commercial and civic buildings that prioritise appearance. This also safeguards listed facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is not acceptable.
Bird free gel
To stop unwanted bird activity, simply and easily place the brilliant Bird Free gel dish on almost any surface you want to shield!
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, it stays virtually invisible from ground level whilst being readily perceived by nearby bird population.
Birds can see ultraviolet light, so this gel causes the building to look like it appears to be ablaze.
When bird assemblies stay limited, we will subtly guide these feathered visitors to look for homes in another place.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrow birds get access to roof spaces via open soffits, worn fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles.
Protecting these exposed gaps demands stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers, picked precisely to suit the dimensions and species of intruder.
To ensure full observance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully arrange any exclusion work away from the active nesting period.

To protect business premises from birds reliably, we blend external defences with regular inspections to detect any newly forming roosting areas.
