Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects all wild bird in the UK.
Under the law, interfering with roosting birds, taking away nests, or applying harmful deterrents amounts to an offence. However, robust legal options are available to protect your property against pest bird populations.
Providing specialist avian management within Monkmoor, Birmingham Pest Control Co. implements effective deterrent and exclusion systems aimed to cause no injury at all to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Monkmoor
Have you heard pest bird droppings are really teeming with a wide range of pathogens?
Desiccated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by inhaling contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
In work environments affected by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a specific hazard to worker wellbeing.
This adds a level of legal oversight for hospitality and food establishments within Monkmoor, intensifying the major health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Apart from spreading disease, guano quickly accumulates inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before nesting, avian species habitually congregate on architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that significantly accelerates the deterioration of stonework, obstructs drainage gutters, and creates treacherous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Ignoring avian pests at a Monkmoor premises causes compounding structural deterioration, growing guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become steadily more expensive over time.
Troubled by birds? Regardless of the species, our brilliant bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Monkmoor
Relentless pigeons and seagulls create the most obvious harm upon Monkmoor’s commercial buildings, taking over flat rooftops and ledges for lasting roosts.
As a seasonal nuisance, starlings slip into roof voids through considerably smaller gaps than either of those species!
Prior to installing any fixings, our expert technicians meticulously 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 only a small number of the magnificent bird species we care for each day.
Feral pigeons
Wild city pigeons assemble in high numbers throughout built-up zones.
One pair of pigeons raises up to six annual clutches. Pigeon populations multiply rapidly on any structure with undisturbed ledges or empty roof voids.
Driven by a potent instinct, pigeons persistently reclaim their chosen sanctuaries, meaning simple scattering tactics will certainly not disrupt this deeply ingrained habit.
How do we tackle pigeon control in Monkmoor? Careful physical exclusion installations stop them landing at all, gently prompting them to look for another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Expanding their presence far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have now become established nesters throughout Monkmoor and the broader Midlands.
Gathering in crowded colonies atop flat roofs, these noisy birds turn highly hostile during their breeding season, a tense period lasting from April until August.
Having greater mass than pigeons, gulls demand robust post and wire systems or heavy duty netting over the less robust deterrents employed for regular pigeon control.
We customise every gull colony bird control system for the individual location.
To support you as well as possible, we adapt our guidance and your final outcome based on the specific roof category and colony size, avoiding any generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings regularly represent a yearly avian issue in the Monkmoor area.
They enter roof voids through more limited apertures than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space build up vast amounts of droppings and nesting materials over a single season.
Bird control solutions in Monkmoor
How do we deliver outstanding results? We tailor our full suite of bird control options based on the particular species, your property type, and the scale of the infestation!
We simply provide expert advice after carefully assessing your actual site and the relevant population in question.
We conduct all site surveys without charge with no commitment obligatory.
Bird netting
To achieve maximum protection, bird netting systematically secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which effectively blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
We install UV stable polyethylene net with mesh sizes tailored to each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Through using stainless steel anchor systems, these fixings are precisely secured into masonry, steel, or timber.
Check up! Properly installed netting is barely invisible from the street, providing an very subtle and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To deter birds from settling, we install bird spikes on pipes, sills, signs, ledges, and parapets.
They function by causing the landing area feel awkward, softly deterring the birds instead of physically blocking them.
When protecting heritage and listed properties, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect choice to make sure the required deterrent remains entirely unobtrusive.
Because of its exceptional resilience, stainless steel makes the best choice for industrial or commercial settings where functional longevity amidst significant contamination takes precedence over aesthetic considerations.
By carefully assessing the particular requirements and needs of your location first, we ensure our following product recommendation is well suited.
Bird wire
By tensioning stainless steel wire between modern posts, bird wire systems smoothly turn exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into highly unsafe landing surfaces.
Providing a very unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It likewise preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely unsuitable.
First, wire delivers the subtlest option for commercial and civic properties where appearance is essential. Secondly, this choice protects listed sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is not suitable.
Bird free gel
To protect any selected spot from unwanted bird behaviour, you simply and easily put a compact dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, ground observers will not notice this profile, yet your bird population definitely will.
Because birds perceive UV wavelengths, this purpose-made gel causes the building seem to be ablaze.
To resolve moderate infestations, we subtly direct the birds to move to alternative locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and small birds readily enter into unoccupied roof spaces through holes in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Want these spots secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
Carry out any required exclusion work outside the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
