In the United Kingdom, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects every wild bird.
Legislation firmly forbids harming nests, interfering with roosting birds, or using unsafe deterrents. Happily, you nevertheless have several legal and lawful options available to manage nuisance bird populations successfully.
Within Newland, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers specialist bird control by using effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Newland
Did you know pest bird droppings are absolutely brimming with numerous pathogens?
Please understand that dehydrated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a lung infection contracted by breathing in infected dust or touching soiled surfaces.
Were you aware that ornithosis is an important workplace health risk wherever bird infestations occur?
This adds a level of legal monitoring for hospitality and food establishments within Newland, worsening the major health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Besides pathogenic hazards, guano quickly accumulates within guttering, over roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before setting up their roosts, birds congregate on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, depositing corrosive waste that accelerates the deterioration of masonry, clogs drainage channels, and introduces hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Newland property? You face further building damage, accumulating guano, and a vital installation job that gets pricier the longer you delay!
Affected by birds? No matter the species, our expert bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from unpleasant health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Newland
Feral pigeons and gulls create the most visible damage on Newland’s commercial buildings. Flat rooftops and ledging give these pests with permanent roosting shelter.
Starlings create a seasonal problem, accessing roof voids through spaces that are far smaller than either species requires.
Prior to 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 encourage secondary infestations to thrive.
Below is a typical selection of the wide-ranging avian species we handle day to day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons routinely congregate in substantial clusters in metropolitan environments.
A single breeding pair of pigeons can rear six broods annually, which means that populations grow quickly on any premises with peaceful ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
As pigeons regularly return to their traditional nest and roost locations, simple deterrent measures fail to disrupt this deeply ingrained behaviour pattern.
How do we tackle pigeon control in Newland? Effective physical exclusion installations prevent them settling at all, dynamically nudging them to choose another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Several successfully expanded more inland, establishing themselves as year-round nesting residents throughout Newland and the nearby Midlands.
Forming dense groups on level rooftops, these noisy birds exhibit hostile behaviour during their reproductive season, which typically spans from April until August.
Since gulls are considerably heavier than pigeons, you need to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than lighter pigeon control methods.
We thoughtfully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each specific setting.
To help you most effectively, we customise our guidance and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, avoiding any generic packages.
Starlings
Throughout Newland, starlings are recognised as a recurring time-honoured avian nuisance.
You can find they get into roof voids via narrower entry points than pigeons, using exposed ridge tiles, faulty soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a significant volume of waste and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Newland
We use a thorough suite of bird control methodologies, meticulously selected according to the relevant avian species, the architectural structure, and the overall magnitude of the infestation.
We never offer advice before personally assessing your premises and the relevant concerned population.
We carry out all site surveys free of charge with no commitment required.
Bird netting
As a most complete approach of avian exclusion, bird netting successfully shields roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to deny birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our business fits UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions specified for particular species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems fasten the fixings directly into masonry, steel or timber.
See up! Correctly installed netting is barely invisible from the street, providing an highly unobtrusive and effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To effectively deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are safely fixed on ledgес, copings, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
How do they function? They leave landing extremely uncomfortable as opposed to physically blocking the birds!
To preserve the fine aesthetics of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the premier choice for delivering an exceptionally unobtrusive deterrent fitting.
In manufacturing or trade settings, stainless steel offers impressive hardiness, thereby making it the best option when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over visual appearance.
We first explore the unique character of your space, so that our eventual product recommendation is a genuinely ideal match.
Bird wire
By employing firm stainless steel wire fastened between posts, bird wire systems reliably provide an unsuitable landing area across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a most discreet deterrent, wire seamlessly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is key, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Searching for the perfect discreet protection? Wire is perfect for elegant commercial and civic structures! It is ideal for historic buildings too, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To halt unwanted bird activity, simply and easily put the innovative Bird Free gel dish upon any area you want to safeguard!
At only eight millimetres in height, it is almost invisible to those on the ground, yet your bird population will definitely notice it.
Because birds perceive ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialised gel causes the structure seem to be ablaze.
We prompt the birds to shift elsewhere during small or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings often enter roof voids by taking advantage of entry points in ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and damaged fascias.
Need these spots secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
How do you adhere to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We time exclusion work beyond active nesting seasons!
