The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legally preserves every wild bird within the United Kingdom.
Legislation explicitly bans destroying nests, disturbing roosting birds, or employing harmful deterrents. Fortunately, you still have a number of secure and lawful options on offer to control nuisance bird populations effectively.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers expert bird control across Netherton, utilising effective deterrent and exclusion methods carried out to ensure no injury comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Netherton
Pest bird faeces contain numerous pathogens.
Were you aware dried pigeon droppings carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory illness spreads via inhalation of contaminated dust or touching contaminated surfaces!
Were you aware that ornithosis is a serious workplace health risk wherever bird infestations occur?
Regarding Netherton hotel and hospitality and food establishments, this introduces strict legal scrutiny alongside the established health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Besides pathogenic hazards, guano swiftly accumulates within guttering, over roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before establishing their roosts, birds gather on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving behind corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, clogs drainage channels, and poses hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Ignoring avian pests at a Netherton property ultimately escalates building deterioration, worsens hazardous guano accumulation, and substantially raises the eventual cost of the essential mitigation installation over time.
Irrespective of the avian species, our customised strategies help ensure that your premises, team, and residents remain thoroughly shielded against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Netherton
Feral pigeons and gulls inflict the most obvious harm on Netherton’s commercial buildings. Level rooftops and ledges give these pests with lasting roosting shelter.
Starlings create a seasonal issue, accessing roof voids through gaps that are far smaller than either species demands.
Prior to securing any specialist fixings, our technicians carefully cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety is our first priority. Disturbed dry droppings create severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly invite secondary infestations to thrive.
Which wonderful feathered species do we manage every single day? See for yourself!
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons really love to cluster in massive flocks throughout bustling city centre areas!
To commence, a lone breeding pair of pigeons can rear six clutches annually, which lets their population to grow rapidly on properties with quiet ledges or roof spaces.
When dealing with this issue, we need to understand that pigeons regularly return to their preferred nesting areas, which means temporary scattering methods cannot alter their patterns.
Reliable pigeon control in Netherton requires physical exclusion systems that block landing completely, making the birds to relocate elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully moved deeper inland, remaining as permanent breeding residents throughout Netherton and the surrounding Midlands.
Gathering in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn fiercely hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period lasting from April until August.
Did you know gulls are weightier than pigeons? They require robust post and wire systems or durable netting instead of those lighter pigeon deterrents!
Every location is distinct, so we customise our bird control systems for gull colonies separately.
Rather than offering a standard, general package, we carefully tailor our professional advice and your bespoke solution based upon roof layout and the colony size.
Starlings
These starlings frequently represent a yearly avian problem in the Netherton locality.
They find their way into exposed roof voids through gaps far less than a pigeon would need, using open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space gather considerable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Netherton
We carefully choose from our comprehensive range of bird control procedures, tailoring each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the scale of the infestation.
We never provide advice prior to in person examining your premises and the relevant affected population.
We offer all site surveys completely free of charge, with no obligation to continue.
Bird netting
To achieve ultimate exclusion, bird netting protects roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This secures everything, efficiently denying access to perching and nesting sites.
Want the ultimate protection? The UV stable polyethylene net offers bespoke mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Employing stainless steel anchor systems helps ensure these fixings are safely tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
When properly fitted, netting remains virtually imperceptible from the pavement, delivering a extremely refined and effective avian control method.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledging areas, parapets, window ledges, pipework, and signs removes places to land.
Rather than physically barricading the avian guests, they simply render the landing experience highly disagreeable.
How do you protect precious heritage and listed buildings discreetly? Amazing polycarbonate spikes are the ultimate solution for a fully invisible defence!
Due to its exceptional resilience, stainless steel is the optimal choice for industrial or commercial settings where operational longevity amidst severe contamination supersedes aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly analyse your location’s individual requirements first to advise on the most suitable product.
Bird wire
By tightening stainless steel wire between slim posts, bird wire systems effortlessly convert exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into very insecure landing surfaces.
Providing a highly unobtrusive profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It equally protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly inappropriate.
Searching for the ultimate discreet defence? Wire is perfect for attractive commercial and civic properties! It is ideal for historic buildings too, entirely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To prevent undesirable avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is placed in a small container placed on any location requiring focused protection.
Standing a modest eight millimetres tall, it remains fully hidden from human eyes on the ground level, yet your resident bird population will certainly notice its presence.
As birds see ultraviolet light, this smart gel makes for the building seem like it is completely on fire!
We persuade the birds to relocate during minor or average infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Generally, starlings and sparrows enter roof spaces through compromised ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and damaged fascias.
Safeguarding these ingress points from avian pests utilises stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, chosen according to the aperture dimensions and the relevant species.
To protect wild sanctuaries, these works must be arranged strictly beyond the active nesting season, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
