Under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK is afforded complete statutory protection.
Did you know that interfering with roosts, taking away nests, or using unsafe deterrents is an offence under the Act? Luckily, this certainly does not leave you defenceless against pest bird populations!
Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers skilled bird control across Princes End, utilising proven deterrent and exclusion methods carried out to ensure no damage comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Princes End
Unwanted bird excrement usually carries a wide array of pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that brings about ornithosis, a respiratory disease acquired via inhaling tainted dust or direct contact with infected areas.
Ornithosis represents a major occupational health concern within professional environments with avian infestations.
This introduces a degree of legal monitoring for hospitality and food establishments within Princes End, compounding the significant health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Apart from spreading disease, guano swiftly builds up inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before getting to roost, birds congregate along edges, parapets, and roof edges. Below them, accumulating droppings gradually hastens decay in the stonework, blocks gutters, and makes the walkways below into highly slick hazards.
Ignoring bird issues at a Princes End property escalates property damage, collects guano, and means your installation job costs more the longer you wait.
Regardless of the bird species, our customised interventions guarantee that yourself, your property premises, and every occupant remain fully shielded against the health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Princes End
Urban pigeons and gulls inflict the most obvious harm on Princes End’s commercial buildings. Flat rooftops and ledging give these pests with permanent roosting shelter.
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings reach roof voids through narrower openings than either species.
Prior before installing any attachments, our expert technicians thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This step is vital because dry guano presents major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material frequently draws secondary infestations to the treated area.
Below is a typical selection of the varied avian species we care for on a day-to-day basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral city pigeons gather in dense numbers throughout built-up zones.
Producing upwards of six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership expands with astonishing speed. They soon occupy any structure offering sheltered ledges or vacant roof spaces.
Did you know pigeons doggedly return to the same nesting and roosting spots? Simple dispersal tactics do nothing at all to break that loop!
How do we tackle pigeon control in Princes End? Brilliant physical exclusion installations keep them landing at all, dynamically encouraging them to find another place!
Seagulls and gulls
Lesser black-backed gulls alongside Herring gulls alongside the lesser black-backed gulls have safely spread into central territories, and becoming firmly established breeding colonies throughout Princes End and the broader Midlands.
Congregating in dense colonies atop flat roofs, these noisy birds turn highly hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period lasting from April until August.
With their significant weight, gulls demand formidable post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting. Weaker pigeon deterrents simply fail here.
We carefully adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each particular site.
We dismiss generic, identical packages. Instead, we shape our advice and your tailored solution around the specific architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
Starlings certainly rank as a troublesome time-of-year pest bird in Princes End!
Penetrating roof voids via tighter entry points than pigeons require, they capitalise on open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Located discreetly within a roof space, a starling roost builds up vast, undesirable quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the season.
Bird control solutions in Princes End
We deploy a wide-ranging suite of bird control methodologies, carefully selected according to the relevant avian species, the architectural structure, and the total magnitude of the infestation.
No suitable recommendation is ever really offered until we first inspect your site and review the problem issue in person.
Each of our site surveys is entirely complimentary and carries absolutely no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
In need of a ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, shielding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our specialist UV stable polyethylene net is precisely sized for each species, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are accurately tightened into masonry, steel, or timber.
Look up! Correctly installed netting is virtually invisible from the street, providing an incredibly unobtrusive and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To fully deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are expertly fitted on ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
How are they effective? They make landing extremely uncomfortable rather than physically blocking the birds!
How do we preserve historic heritage and listed buildings discreetly? Incredible polycarbonate spikes are the ultimate solution for a completely hidden defence!
Stainless steel offers superior durability, making it well suited for industrial and commercial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is prioritised over aesthetics.
By meticulously reviewing the particular requirements and needs of your location first, we guarantee our subsequent product recommendation is well matched.
Bird wire
To readily deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems employ tightened stainless steel wire between posts, producing an unstable landing surface on flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Providing a very discreet profile, wire is suitable for prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally inappropriate.
Searching for the ultimate discreet defence? Wire is excellent for elegant commercial and civic structures! It is brilliant for historic buildings also, entirely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To prevent undesirable avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is placed in a compact container positioned on any surface requiring targeted protection.
At a mere eight millimetres in height, it stays almost invisible to people on the ground, yet your bird population will certainly notice it.
For bird eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialized gel makes the building appear to be vividly ablaze.
We prompt the birds to shift elsewhere during small or average infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starling birds and sparrows gain entry to roof spaces via unsealed soffits, worn fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles.
Need these spots secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers tailored to the gap size and bird species!
How do we meet the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We time exclusion work outside active nesting seasons!
