In the United Kingdom, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects every wild bird.
Did you know that disrupting roosts, taking away nests, or using damaging deterrents is an offence according to the Act? Luckily, this absolutely does not leave you without protection against pest bird populations!
Within Radbrook, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control by applying effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Radbrook
Faeces from pest birds often contain a varied range of harmful microorganisms.
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the disease-causing pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
First, we should recognise ornithosis as a serious occupational hazard in places with current bird infestations.
For catering and catering firms in Radbrook, dealing with guano contamination involves navigating strict statutory standards in addition to addressing the primary health risks.
Disease aside, guano accumulates at remarkable speed across gutters, over roofing materials, and near drainage points!
Before nesting, avian species regularly assemble on architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, depositing guano that actively accelerates the deterioration of stonework, blocks drainage gutters, and causes dangerous slip hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Radbrook property? You face worsening building damage, piling guano, and a vital installation job that becomes pricier the longer you delay!
Troubled by birds? No matter the species, our excellent bespoke systems effectively protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from unpleasant health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Radbrook
Which bird species deface Radbrook’s commercial premises the greatest? Feral pigeons and seagulls are responsible, using flat roofs and ledges for perfect, throughout the year roosting shelter!
Returning with the seasons, starlings make their way into roof voids through spaces much narrower than either species requires.
Did you know disrupted dry guano actually poses serious health concerns? It certainly does, and old nests attract unwanted additional infestations! That is why our skilled technicians thoroughly clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Those are only a small number of the magnificent bird species we care for each day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often assemble in large densities throughout city environments.
A single breeding pair of pigeons can rear six broods annually, so populations escalate rapidly on any site with sheltered ledges or undisturbed loft spaces.
Drawn by a potent instinct, pigeons continually reoccupy their chosen sanctuaries, meaning basic spreading tactics will certainly not break this deeply ingrained habit.
Effective pigeon control in Radbrook involves exclusion methods that stop landing altogether, which subtly directs the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Each of the herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have effectively migrated inland, forming permanent nesting populations throughout the area of Radbrook and the broader Midlands.
Congregating in dense clusters upon level roof spaces, these raucous birds exhibit highly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which typically lasts from April until August.
Gulls are heavier than pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon control.
We adapt every gull colony bird control system for the specific location.
Rather than using a regular one-size-fits-all formula, we closely customise our specialist guidance and final resolution to match your exact roof type and colony size.
Starlings
With each passing season, starlings return to Radbrook as troublesome pest birds.
You can see these birds enter roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, using open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space gather vast volumes of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Radbrook
We implement a comprehensive range of bird control systems, tailoring our strategy to the particular species, property design, and overall scale of the infestation.
No proper answer is ever really suggested until we first of all survey your property and assess the troublesome population firsthand.
Each of the site surveys are fully complimentary and carries totally no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
As the ultimate exclusion approach, bird netting covers roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to deny birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Our specialist UV stable polyethylene net is carefully sized for each species, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we tension fastenings into brickwork, metal, or softwood? Certainly, using stainless-steel anchor fixings!
When correctly fitted, netting remains virtually imperceptible from the pavement, delivering a highly sophisticated and successful avian control method.
Bird spikes
To efficiently deny birds a landing space, bird spikes are installed to raised edges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
They deter birds by making landing surfaces uncomfortable instead of physically blocking them.
When safeguarding precious historic features and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes are the ideal choice because their deterrent effect stays largely out of sight.
Stainless steel provides excellent durability, being ideal for industrial and commercial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is emphasised over aesthetics.
To help you make the most suitable choice, we thoroughly evaluate your specific space before recommending the best suited product.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems stretch stainless steel wire between posts to create an insecure landing surface across raised ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is paramount, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
Offering an almost invisible protection, wire beautifully preserves the appearance of prestigious municipal and business properties. It gracefully safeguards historic facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any specified space from unwanted bird activity, you just place a compact dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
At a mere eight millimetres in height, it is almost invisible to those on the ground, yet your bird population will certainly notice it.
For avian eyes perceiving UV wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building seem to be vividly ablaze.
In cases of moderate avian presence, we employ mild discouragement to nudge their relocation.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and small birds readily sneak into unoccupied roof spaces through holes in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Want these spots secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
Undertake all exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
