Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete legal protection.
Although the relevant legislation explicitly prohibits damaging nests, disturbing roosting birds, or deploying dangerous deterrents, you still retain legal and reliable means of protecting your property from nuisance avian populations.
Providing specialist avian management within Perry Barr, Birmingham Pest Control Co. uses well-established deterrent and exclusion systems intended to cause no harm to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Perry Barr
Pest bird faeces carry numerous pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that causes ornithosis, a lung disease contracted via breathing in tainted dust or physical contact with infected surfaces.
In occupational environments affected by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a clear threat to worker safety.
For hotel and catering firms in Perry Barr, handling guano contamination involves complying with strict statutory standards in addition to addressing the main health risks.
Apart from carrying disease, guano quickly accumulates inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before establishing their roosts, birds congregate on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving corrosive waste that accelerates the deterioration of masonry, obstructs drainage channels, and introduces hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Perry Barr property ultimately worsens structural damage, compounds hazardous guano accumulation, and considerably raises the ultimate cost of the required mitigation installation over time.
Whatever which avian species is involved, our customised interventions ensure that you, your property, and all occupants are kept fully safeguarded against the health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Perry Barr
Feral pigeons and gulls create the most obvious damage on Perry Barr’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges provide them continual roosting shelter.
These birds create a time of year threat, entering roof voids through narrower openings than any alternative birds.
Prior before installing any fixings, our trained technicians thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This step is vital because dry guano creates serious health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material frequently invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
Below is a typical range of the varied avian species we handle on a day-to-day basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons really enjoy to cluster in large flocks throughout busy city centres!
Are you aware pigeon pairs can raise up to six clutches annually? Their numbers multiply at a remarkable rate on any building with uninterrupted ledges or roof voids!
These birds reliably go back to established nesting and roosting and roosting sites, which means short-term deterrent methods do not manage to disrupt their customary behaviour.
Effective pigeon management in Perry Barr is based on physical exclusion systems that completely stop alighting, thereby encouraging these birds to find alternative habitats in other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Several effectively spread further inland, establishing themselves as permanent breeding residents throughout Perry Barr and the neighbouring Midlands.
Did you know these boisterous birds nest on flat roofs in crowded groups? Watch out, as they grow very hostile during breeding season from April to August!
As gulls are much heavier than pigeons, you have to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than less robust pigeon control methods.
We adapt every gull colony bird control system for the individual location.
To support you as well as possible, we adapt our guidance and your final result based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
Throughout Perry Barr, starling flocks are recognised as a recurring annual avian nuisance.
They infiltrate roof voids through more limited apertures than pigeons, using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Imagine the huge volume of waste and nest material a starling roost creates inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Perry Barr
How do we achieve brilliant results? We adapt our entire suite of bird control options depending on the particular species, your property type, and the extent of the infestation!
We only recommend solutions after assessing your premises and evaluating the problem population.
We carry out all site surveys at no cost with absolutely zero commitment needed.
Bird netting
Looking for the ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the fullest exclusion system, shielding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Looking for the best protection? The UV stable polyethylene net provides custom mesh sizes, featuring 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
By using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are carefully tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
When properly fitted, netting remains virtually imperceptible from the pavement, providing a highly refined and effective avian control method.
Bird spikes
How do we prevent pesky landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto ledges and similar surfaces, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
Instead of physically barricading the avian guests, they simply make the landing experience extremely disagreeable.
When safeguarding heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the perfect choice to ensure the required deterrent remains completely unobtrusive.
Looking for complete durability in industrial settings? Hard-wearing stainless steel excels in dirty industrial sites where handling heavy grime matters a lot more than pristine finish!
We initially uncover the unique story of your space, ensuring our final product recommendation is a properly ideal fit.
Bird wire
By making use of tensioned stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems create a structurally unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a very unobtrusive profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely inappropriate.
Searching for the perfect discreet defence? Wire is excellent for attractive commercial and civic buildings! It is ideal for historic buildings as well, fully avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To discourage undesirable avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed in a small container situated upon any location requiring focused protection.
At a height of a mere 8mm tall, this profile stays practically imperceptible from ground level to humans, yet your local avian population will certainly recognise its presence.
Because avian species perceive UV wavelengths, this specialist gel causes the building appear to be on fire.
Where infestations are slight or moderate, we employ careful methods to prompt the birds to relocate.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and small birds readily enter into sheltered roof spaces through gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Protecting these ingress points from avian pests uses stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, chosen according to the aperture dimensions and the relevant species.
Carry out any required exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to remain compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
