The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act offers a legal legal embrace around all wild bird in the UK.
Under the law, disrupting roosting birds, removing nests, or applying harmful deterrents is an offence. That said, robust legal options still exist to protect your property against pest bird populations.
In the quiet skies of Penn, Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers reliable bird control, using safe deterrent and exclusion methods that make sure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Penn
Were you aware pest bird droppings are absolutely packed with diverse pathogens?
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the disease-causing pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by inhaling tainted dust or touching compromised surfaces.
Did you know that ornithosis is a major workplace health risk anywhere bird infestations take hold?
Did you know for Penn food and hospitality sites, guano contamination results in strict regulatory compliance as well as critical health and safety hazards?
Disease aside, guano gathers at remarkable speed across gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points!
Before nesting, avian species often gather along architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, leaving guano that directly hastens the deterioration of stonework, blocks drainage gutters, and creates dangerous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
When you allow bird issues unresolved at a Penn property, you risk growing structural damage and accumulating guano, which steadily increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Whatever the bird species, our tailored interventions guarantee that you, your premises, and all occupants are kept thoroughly protected against the associated health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Penn
In Penn, commercial buildings experience the most visible damage from feral pigeons and seagulls, which use horizontal rooftops and outcrops for continual roosting shelter.
Starlings represent a seasonal challenge, entering roof voids through considerably smaller openings than either of the alternative species.
Prior to securing any specialist fixings, our technicians thoroughly cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety is paramount. Disturbed dry droppings create severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly attract secondary infestations to thrive.
Which remarkable bird species do we help manage every single day? Take a look!
Feral pigeons
Immense groups of feral pigeons assemble throughout our bustling city spaces.
A single breeding pair of pigeons can raise six broods annually, which means that populations grow quickly on any property with peaceful ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
As pigeons habitually come back to their familiar nesting and roosting locations, straightforward dispersal measures do not s\ucceed to disrupt this deeply ingrained behaviour pattern.
Handling pigeon populations in Penn requires physical exclusion systems that fully prevent landing, thereby prompting the birds to colonise different territories.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully moved more inland, establishing themselves as long-term resident breeders throughout Penn and the nearby Midlands.
These clamorous birds nest in thick colonies on flat roofs, and becoming territorial during their breeding season from April to August.
Seagulls are heavier than pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lesser deterrents adequate for pigeon control.
We tailor every gull colony bird control system for its individual setting.
We turn away generic, uniform packages. In contrast, we tailor our guidance and your tailored solution around the distinctive architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
Starling birds can be a occasional problem bird within Penn.
By taking advantage of open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and split fascia boards, they reach roof voids through spaces narrower than those taken advantage of by pigeons.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a substantial volume of faeces and nesting debris.
Bird control solutions in Penn
We deploy a comprehensive range of bird control systems, customising our strategy to the particular species, property design, and total scale of the infestation.
We solely suggest solutions after examining your premises and reviewing the problem population.
Every initial property assessment is entirely complimentary, carrying absolutely no requirement for future commitment.
Bird netting
As the most complete approach of avian exclusion, bird netting effectively protects roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to deny birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our expert UV stable polyethylene net is meticulously sized for each species, fitting 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By utilising stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are carefully tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
When expertly fitted, netting remains effectively imperceptible from ground level, providing a very discreet yet efficient avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
To stop birds from landing, we install bird spikes on pipework, windowsills, signs, outcrops, and low walls.
These function by turning the landing area feel awkward, gently putting off the birds instead of physically stopping them.
To preserve the delicate visual character of historic and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the ideal choice for achieving an highly discreet deterrent setup.
In manufacturing or industrial environments where withstanding fouling is placed first over aesthetic appeal, stainless steel offers greater strength and extended working life.
We carefully analyse your area’s individual requirements first to suggest the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems stretch stainless steel wire between posts to create an unsteady landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally improper.
This option provides the discreetest deterrent for public and commercial buildings with an emphasis on aesthetics. It also safeguards listed facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any specified spot from unwelcome bird behavioural activity, you simply and easily place a small dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
At a mere eight millimetres in height, it stays virtually invisible to people on the ground, yet your bird population will definitely notice it.
For avian eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this specialized gel makes the building appear to be violently ablaze.
We encourage the birds to shift elsewhere during minor or moderate infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starling birds and sparrow birds enter to roof spaces via open soffits, broken fascias, and spaces in ridge tiles.
Securing these exposed gaps calls for stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers, picked precisely to suit the scale and species of pest.
Undertake all exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
