Under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, every wild bird in the UK has complete statutory protection.
Whilst destroying nests, interfering with roosts, or using harmful methods constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are in no way left defenceless against the problems of nuisance bird populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers skilled bird control across Rushmoor, using highly successful deterrent and exclusion methods executed to ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Rushmoor
Problematic bird excrement generally carries a diverse range of harmful pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the harmful pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Bird infestations leave workers to the major occupational health hazard of ornithosis.
For catering businesses and hospitality premises in Rushmoor, guano contamination introduces a significant legal burden as well as the immediate, unsettling health threats.
Aside from pathogenic hazards, guano quickly collects within guttering, over roofing components, and around drainage exits.
First, birds congregate on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before settling. Therefore, their accumulated waste speeds up stonework decay, clogs gutters, and causes dangerous slip hazards on the surfaces below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Rushmoor property worsens property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs more the longer you leave it.
Regardless of the particular avian species, our bespoke plans will effectively protect you and your property, your building, and everyone nearby from the range of health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Rushmoor
Persistent feral pigeons inflict the most obvious harm upon Rushmoor’s business premises, taking over flat rooftops and ledges for permanent sanctuaries.
Starlings present a yearly challenge, entering roof voids through spaces that are much smaller than either species requires.
Did you know disrupted dry guano actually presents significant health concerns? It certainly does, and abandoned nests attract nasty additional infestations! That is the cause our incredible technicians thoroughly clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
These are a few of the bird species we look after every day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons regularly congregate in significant clusters across urban environments.
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can rear up to six broods annually, their population grows rapidly on any structure offering uninterrupted ledges or unoccupied roof voids.
Pigeons predictably return to existing nesting and roosting and perching sites, which means short-term dispersal methods fail to alter their habitual behaviour.
Effective pigeon control in Rushmoor involves physical exclusion systems that stop landing altogether, which carefully leads the birds to find an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls alongside Herring gulls have successfully colonised inland areas, and becoming long-established breeding groups throughout Rushmoor and the wider Midlands.
Forming dense nests on level rooftops, these loud birds exhibit territorial behaviour during their reproductive season, which generally spans from April until August.
With the gulls’ considerable weight, gulls need formidable post-and-wire systems or heavy duty netting. Weaker pigeon deterrents simply fail here.
Every location is distinct, so we customise our bird control systems for gull colonies individually.
We develop bespoke approaches and guidance suited to your roof type and colony size instead of deploying generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings are a seasonal problem bird within Rushmoor.
You will see these birds enter roof voids via narrower entry points than pigeons, utilising exposed ridge tiles, faulty soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Starlings roosting inside a roof space gather large amounts of droppings and nesting materials over a one season.
Bird control solutions in Rushmoor
We implement a thorough suite of bird control methodologies, meticulously selected according to the particular avian species, the building structure, and the total magnitude of the infestation.
We never provide recommendations before personally assessing your premises and the relevant affected population.
We offer all site surveys at no cost, with no obligation to continue.
Bird netting
As the most thorough means of avian exclusion, bird netting efficiently protects roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to prevent birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
We fit UV stable polyethylene net with mesh sizes tailored to each species, utilising 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
Once correctly fitted, the netting remains almost unnoticeable from the street, delivering a extremely discreet and reliable bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To entirely remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are expertly fitted on ledges parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, pipes, and signage.
These function by making the landing area feel uncomfortable, gently discouraging the birds instead of physically stopping them.
To safeguard the subtle appearance of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the premier choice for achieving an highly unobtrusive deterrent installation.
Stainless steel offers superior durability, proving a good fit for industrial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is prioritised over aesthetics.
We initially and carefully explore the individual narrative of your property, making sure our eventual product recommendation is a genuinely flawless solution.
Bird wire
To readily deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems employ tightened stainless steel wire between posts, producing an insecure landing surface on flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is paramount, whilst also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
Delivering an almost invisible shield, wire elegantly preserves the design of prestigious public and business properties. It gracefully shields heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly not feasible.
Bird free gel
Fix the compact-sized Bird Free gel dish on any surface that requires protection from unwanted bird activity.
At just a mere 8mm in height, those below will never notice this profile, but your bird population definitely will.
For bird eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this particular gel makes the building appear to be violently ablaze.
Are you having slight bird issues? We will gladly encourage them to find another home!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Usually, starlings and sparrows access roof spaces through damaged ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and damaged fascias.
Safeguarding these exposed gaps requires stainless steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, selected carefully to suit the size and species of pest.
To guarantee complete observance to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusionary measures must be planned outside the active nesting season.
