Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK has complete protection under law.
Did you know that disrupting roosts, clearing nests, or using unsafe deterrents is an offence according to the Act? Thankfully, this absolutely does not leave you without protection against pest bird populations!

Health risks from pest birds in Middleton
Faeces from pest birds frequently harbour a wide-ranging selection of harmful microorganisms.
Please be aware that dehydrated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory condition contracted by inhaling infected dust or handling soiled surfaces.
First, we should identify ornithosis as a major occupational hazard in locations with active bird infestations.
Did you know for Middleton food and hospitality sites, guano contamination triggers strict regulatory compliance in addition to critical health and safety hazards?
Aside from health risks, guano accumulates quickly in guttering, on roof coverings, and around drainage outlets.
First, birds collect on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before perching. Consequently, their accumulated waste speeds up stonework decay, obstructs gutters, and poses serious slip hazards on the surfaces below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Middleton property? You face worsening building damage, building up guano, and a important installation job that gets pricier the more time you delay!
Pestered by birds? No matter the species, our brilliant bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from unpleasant health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Middleton
Feral pigeons and sea birds create the most obvious damage on Middleton’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges give them continual roosting shelter.
As they return seasonally, starlings penetrate roof voids through spaces much narrower than either species requires.
Before securing any specialist fixings, our technicians thoroughly cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety comes first. Disturbed dry droppings present severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly attract secondary infestations to thrive.
These are a few of the bird species we handle daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeon groups regularly assemble in considerable densities across our urban environments.
Producing as many as six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership multiplies with astonishing speed. They soon occupy any structure offering quiet ledges or vacant roof spaces.
Pigeons consistently return to established nesting and roosting and roosting sites, which means temporary deterrent methods fail to disrupt their repeated behaviour.
How do we master pigeon control in Middleton? Effective physical exclusion installations keep them landing at all, dynamically prompting them to find another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Extending their presence far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have already become established nesters throughout Middleton and the wider Midlands.
You will find these vocal birds nesting in dense colonies on flat roofs, where they exhibit hostile behaviour during their breeding cycle from April until August.
Due because of their increased mass when compared with pigeons, gulls require post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon management.
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are closely tailored to fit each particular location.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all, general package, we carefully adapt our professional advice and your bespoke solution based upon roof layout and the colony size.
Starlings
Starlings frequently constitute a yearly avian issue within the Middleton locality.
They gain access to roof voids through narrower apertures than pigeons, taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof void accumulate a considerable amount of faeces and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Middleton
How can we provide excellent results? We tailor our full suite of bird control options based on the specific species, your property type, and the scale of the infestation!
We solely recommend solutions after assessing your premises and assessing the problem population.
Guess what? Our survey visits are entirely complimentary with entirely zero obligation to proceed!
Bird netting
Searching for a best shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the fullest exclusion system, guarding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
We fit UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions tailored to each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, you can secure fixings into masonry, steel, or timber.
When properly fitted, netting stays almost imperceptible from ground level, offering a highly discreet yet practical avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledged surfaces, roof edges, window ledges, pipes, and signage eliminates places to land.
Instead of physically barricading the avian guests, they merely render the landing experience very disagreeable.
When protecting cherished historic features and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the perfect choice because their discouraging appearance stays virtually out of sight.
In industrial or commercial spaces where withstanding fouling is prioritised over appearance, stainless steel offers greater strength and lengthened service life.
To help you the most suitable choice, we thoroughly evaluate your specific space before proposing the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems work? They tighten stainless steel wire between posts to render ledges, balconies, and roof ridges entirely unsuitable for landings!
As the most most discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is paramount, whilst also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Looking for the ideal discreet protection? Wire is perfect for elegant commercial and civic structures! It is excellent for historic buildings as well, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any chosen area from unwelcome bird behaviour, you simply and easily place a little dish of Bird Free gel onto that surface.
At just a mere 8mm in height, it is virtually invisible from ground level whilst being readily perceived by the local bird population.
Because birds see ultraviolet light, this smart gel causes the building seem like it is fully on fire!
In cases of low-level avian activity, we employ mild discouragement to encourage their relocation.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrow birds gain entry to roof spaces via open soffits, worn fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles.
Securing such ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, based on the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
To help ensure complete adherence to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, all exclusionary measures must be scheduled away from the active nesting season.
