The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects by law all UK wild birds.
Legislation explicitly forbids damaging nests, disrupting roosting birds, or using damaging measures. Fortunately, you yet have several secure and lawful options available to control nuisance bird populations effectively.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides professional bird control in Selattyn, using non-harmful deterrent and exclusion methods to shield protected birds from harm.

Health risks from pest birds in Selattyn
Unwanted bird excrement generally harbours a varied array of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano passively harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen causing ornithosis, a lung illness acquired by breathing in contaminated dust or coming into contact with tainted surfaces.
In professional spaces affected by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a distinct threat to occupational safety.
For food businesses and hospitality venues in Selattyn, guano contamination creates a daunting legal burden as well as the instant, disturbing health threats.
In addition to health risks, bird droppings build up quickly inside gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before settling to roost, birds congregate along edges, parapets, and roof edges. Beneath them, accumulating waste quietly speeds up decay in the stonework, clogs gutters, and makes the walkways below into extremely slick hazards.
Ignoring a bird nuisance at your Selattyn property? You face further building damage, piling guano, and a important installation job that becomes pricier the more time you wait!
Affected by birds? Regardless of the species, our excellent bespoke systems reliably protect you, your property, and everyone on site from serious health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Selattyn
Persistent feral pigeons create the clearest damage upon Selattyn’s business premises, claiming flat rooftops and ledges for permanent sanctuaries.
As a seasonal nuisance, starlings squeeze into roof voids through considerably smaller gaps than either of the other species!
Prior to installing any attachments, our expert specialists carefully remove all guano and nest material. This step is essential because dry guano presents serious health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often draws secondary infestations to the treated area.
Below is a typical range of the varied avian species we handle day to day.
Feral pigeons
Wild city pigeons assemble in high densities in urban zones.
Raising up to six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership multiplies with remarkable speed. They soon take over any structure offering quiet ledges or vacant roof spaces.
When dealing with this problem, we need to understand that pigeons repeatedly come back to their preferred nesting sites, so that brief dispersal measures cannot break their patterns.
Definitive pigeon deterrence in Selattyn is based on exclusion measures that stop landing entirely, subtly prompting these birds to choose different territories to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have spread their territory inland, forming settled nesting colonies across Selattyn and the broader Midlands.
Did you notice these loud birds nest on flat roofs in large colonies? Be careful, as they grow very aggressive during nesting season from April to August!
Due because of their greater mass when compared with pigeons, gulls necessitate post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the less robust deterrents adequate for pigeon management.
We carefully adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each specific site.
To help you best, we adapt our advice and your final result based on the specific roof category and colony size, avoiding any generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings surely rank as a troublesome seasonal pest bird in Selattyn!
They crawl into roof voids through much smaller gaps than pigeons can, quickly exploiting open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Imagine the vast volume of waste and nesting debris a starling roost generates inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Selattyn
We use a thorough suite of bird control methodologies, closely selected according to the specific avian species, the building structure, and the general magnitude of the infestation.
How would we ever suggest recommendations without reviewing your site and the affected population first?
We complete all site surveys free of charge with no commitment obligatory.
Bird netting
Looking for the ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most comprehensive exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
We deploy UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions tailored to each species, employing 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Through using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are precisely tightened into masonry, steel, or timber.
When expertly fitted, netting stays virtually imperceptible from ground level, providing a very discreet yet practical avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
To deter birds from landing, we install bird spikes on pipework, sills, signage, outcrops, and parapets.
Rather than physically barricading the avian guests, they simply render the landing experience very disagreeable.
To protect heritage and listed buildings, we recommend polycarbonate spikes because they ensure the deterrent stays entirely unobtrusive.
Stainless steel provides excellent durability, making it ideal for industrial and commercial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is emphasised over aesthetics.
To help you make the right choice, we carefully evaluate your specific space before suggesting the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
By employing taut stainless steel wire fixed between posts, bird wire systems effectively provide an unsteady landing surface across level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where visual appeal is essential, whilst also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
Wire provides the most discreet deterrent for civic and commercial buildings prioritising appearance. This also safeguards listed facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is not acceptable.
Bird free gel
To stop unwanted bird activity, simply position the brilliant Bird Free gel dish upon almost any surface you want to safeguard!
Standing a mere 8mm tall, this profile stays almost imperceptible from the ground to humans, yet your local avian population will clearly detect its presence.
Birds are able to see ultraviolet light, so this gel makes it appear the building appear like it is being ablaze.
We encourage the birds to move during minor or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings regularly access roof voids by using gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias.
Protecting these vulnerable gaps calls for stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers, chosen specifically to suit the scale and species of pest.
To ensure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusion procedures must be scheduled outside the active nesting period.
