Remarkably, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 safeguards each and every wild bird in the UK.
Did you know that disturbing roosts, taking away nests, or using damaging deterrents is an offence within the Act? Fortunately, this completely does not leave you defenceless against pest bird populations!
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control across Quarry Bank, using proven deterrent and exclusion methods implemented to ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Quarry Bank
Faeces from pest birds often carry a varied array of disease-causing organisms.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the harmful pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by breathing in tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Were you aware that ornithosis is an important workplace health risk anywhere bird infestations are present?
Quarry Bank operators in food and hospitality face up to tight regulatory exposure as well as the serious health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Apart from spreading disease, guano swiftly builds up inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before forming their roosts, birds gather on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, depositing corrosive waste that accelerates the deterioration of masonry, obstructs drainage channels, and creates hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Quarry Bank property escalates property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs more the longer you leave it.
Whatever which avian species is involved, our customised interventions guarantee that yourself, your property premises, and all occupants remain thoroughly protected against the associated health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Quarry Bank
Wild pigeons and seagulls cause the most conspicuous disruption on Quarry Bank commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary atop their flat rooftops and edges.
Starlings represent a seasonal difficulty, reaching roof voids through considerably smaller openings than either of the other species.
During every bird service, our technicians meticulously remove every guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This essential preparation is important because dry guano when disturbed poses substantial health risks, whilst discarded nesting material often attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Below is a good range of the varied avian species we manage on a day-to-day basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons really love to cluster in massive groups throughout crowded city centres!
A single breeding pair of pigeons can raise six broods annually, which means that populations escalate rapidly on any property with peaceful ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
When addressing this problem, we have to acknowledge that pigeons consistently return to their chosen nesting spots, which means temporary scattering methods cannot break their patterns.
How do we manage pigeon control in Quarry Bank? Careful physical exclusion installations keep them perching at all, dynamically prompting them to find another home!
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have spread their territory inland, creating lasting nesting colonies throughout the wider area of Quarry Bank and the wider Midlands.
Gathering in compact colonies upon horizontal roof spaces, these raucous birds show strongly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which usually runs from April until August.
Gulls outweigh pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lesser deterrents adequate for pigeon control.
We adapt every gull colony bird control system for its individual setting.
Rather than utilising a standard one-size-fits-all formula, we closely customise our expert guidance and final resolution to suit your particular roof type and colony size.
Starlings
These starlings regularly constitute a seasonal bird issue within the Quarry Bank region.
By using open ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and broken fascia boards, they enter roof voids through gaps smaller than those utilised by pigeons.
Imagine the massive volume of droppings and nesting debris a starling roost generates inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Quarry Bank
We deploy a broad range of bird control systems, adapting our strategy to the specific species, property design, and general scale of the infestation.
Our approach commences by assessing your site and the problem population before we suggest any options.
We offer all site surveys entirely free, with no pressure to proceed.
Bird netting
Looking for a best shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, guarding roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our firm fits UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions configured for specific species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, these fixings are precisely tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
See up! Properly installed netting is virtually unseen from the street, offering an highly subtle and effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To stop birds from perching, we fit bird spikes on pipework, windowsills, signage, ledges, and parapets.
Rather than establishing a physical barrier, these systems function by making the landing experience highly unwelcoming for the birds.
When preserving heritage and listed premises, polycarbonate spikes offer the best solution to help ensure the essential deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
For punishing industrial landscapes where surviving relentless dirt takes precedence over aesthetic elegance, resilient stainless steel remains the most suitable choice. It simply endures.
To help you make the most suitable choice, we carefully review your specific space before proposing the best suited product.
Bird wire
By tightening stainless steel wire between slim posts, bird wire systems seamlessly turn exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into highly insecure landing surfaces.
Offering a highly discreet profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains totally improper.
In need of the ideal discreet protection? Wire is perfect for elegant commercial and civic structures! It is ideal for historic buildings also, completely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
Mount the small Bird Free gel dish on to any area that requires protection from unwanted bird activity.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, but your bird population certainly will.
Due to bird sensitivity to ultraviolet light, this specially formulated gel causes the structure to look as though it is ablaze.
We persuade the birds to relocate during minor or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starling birds and sparrow birds gain entry to roof spaces via open soffits, worn fascias, and gaps in ridge tiles.
Want these spots secured? We install stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers tailored to the gap size and bird species!
