Health risks from pest birds in Shard End
Faeces from pest birds frequently carry a wide-ranging range of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by inhaling contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
Avian infestations expose workers at risk of the major occupational health hazard of ornithosis.
Did you know for Shard End food and hospitality sites, guano contamination brings about strict regulatory compliance as well as critical health and safety hazards?
Apart from biological hazards, guano rapidly accumulates within gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before establishing their roosts, birds gather on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, leaving corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, blocks drainage channels, and introduces hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Neglecting a bird nuisance at a Shard End property can invite progressive structural damage and building guano, ensuring the essential installation job only gets more expensive as time goes on.
Whatever winged species arrives, our bespoke systems protect your premises. Discover real peace of mind. We safeguard you and your neighbourhood from health hazards linked to birds.
Pest bird species in Shard End
Unforgiving pigeons and seagulls cause the most obvious damage upon Shard End’s commercial properties, seizing flat rooftops and ledges for long-term nesting spots.
Characterised as a seasonal issue, starlings access roof voids through smaller openings than the other species.
Our experts always clean away guano and nest material ahead of fitting fixings. Aroused dry guano poses instant health hazards, and discarded nest material swiftly draws secondary infestations to the area.
Please view this selection of the avian species we regularly help manage on a daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild city pigeons congregate in dense numbers throughout urban zones.
To begin, a single breeding pair of pigeons can produce six clutches annually, which allows their population to expand fast on properties with protected ledges or roof spaces.
As pigeons regularly return to their traditional nesting and roosting locations, simple scaring measures fail to interrupt this deeply ingrained behavioural pattern.
Definitive pigeon control in Shard End is based on exclusion measures that prevent landing entirely, subtly prompting these birds to find alternative places to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Did you notice that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have moved inland? They are currently nesting with success across Shard End and the wider Midlands!
Congregating in dense colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn fiercely hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period extending from April until August.
Did you know gulls are weightier than pigeons? They require sturdy post and wire systems or hard-wearing netting instead of the lighter pigeon deterrents!
We enthusiastically customise the bird control systems for each and every specific gull colony location!
We engineer bespoke solutions and guidance specified to your roof type and colony size instead of using generic packages and bundles.
Starlings
Starlings definitely rank as a troublesome time-of-year pest bird in Shard End!
You can find these birds get into roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, using exposed ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Over the space of a season, starlings roosting in a roof void accumulate large quantities of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Shard End
Every haven deserves careful protection. We coordinate a range of bird control systems, tailoring each response to the particular species, the individual structure, and the actual scale of the infestation.
Our process begins by assessing your site and the problem population before we propose any options.
Our site surveys are fully complimentary, leaving you under no duty to continue.
Bird netting
As the ultimate exclusion approach, bird netting covers roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to stop birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Our business supplies and installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions configured for particular species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we tension fixings into brickwork, iron, or wood? Indeed, using stainless steel anchor solutions!
Once accurately fitted, netting remains practically unseen from the street below, providing a wonderfully unobtrusive yet extremely effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To entirely deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are expertly fitted on ledges and similar surfaces parapets and similar features, windowsills and adjacent areas, pipes and nearby fixtures, and signage and other surfaces.
Instead of establishing a solid barrier, these systems operate by rendering the landing experience very unwelcoming for the birds.
To protect heritage and listed buildings, we advise polycarbonate spikes because they ensure the deterrent is kept fully unobtrusive.
In workshop or business settings, stainless steel offers outstanding durability, thereby making it the perfect choice when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over looks.
To help you make the most suitable choice, we thoroughly review your specific space before proposing the most suitable product.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems work? They stretch stainless steel wire between posts to render ledges, balconies, and roof ridges entirely unsuitable for touching down!
As a subtle deterrent, wire stylishly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is essential, whilst also preserving historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Providing an almost invisible protection, wire elegantly maintains the appearance of prominent civic and commercial properties. It effectively shields period facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any specified surface from nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is applied within a shallow dish set on that area.
At a mere eight millimetres in height, it is almost invisible to those on the ground, yet your bird population will surely notice it.
For avian eyes perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialised gel makes the building appear to be violently ablaze.
To deal with minor infestations, we carefully guide the birds to move to alternative locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and broken fascias, sparrows regularly enter roof spaces.
Want these spots secured? We fit stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers suited to the gap size and bird species!
To ensure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusion procedures must be planned outside the active nesting period.
