The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act lawfully preserves all wild bird within the United Kingdom.
Whilst dismantling nests, disturbing roosts, or employing harmful deterrents constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are by no means left without recourse against the problems of nuisance bird populations.
Offering specialist avian management within Slideslow, Birmingham Pest Control Co. uses well-established deterrent and exclusion systems aimed to cause no harm whatsoever to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Slideslow
Did you know pest bird droppings are absolutely brimming with numerous pathogens?
Dried pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that brings about ornithosis, a lung disease contracted via the inhalation of tainted dust or physical contact with infected areas.
Did you know that ornithosis is an important workplace health risk anywhere bird infestations occur?
Regarding Slideslow hospitality and food establishments, this brings in strict statutory scrutiny alongside the established safety hazards of guano contamination.
Putting health risks aside, guano accumulates quickly in guttering, on roof coverings, and around drainage outlets.
Before settling to roost, birds congregate along ledging, parapets, and roof borders. Beneath them, accumulating debris gradually accelerates decay in the stonework, chokes gutters, and turns the walkways below into dangerously slick hazards.
Ignoring bird issues at a Slideslow property worsens property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs more the longer you delay.
Whichever winged species appears, our bespoke systems shield your premises. Experience true peace of mind. We protect you and your community from health hazards linked to birds.
Pest bird species in Slideslow
Which bird species dirty Slideslow’s commercial premises the worst? Feral pigeons and seagulls are responsible, using flat roofs and ledges for excellent, year-round roosting shelter!
Coming back seasonally, starlings enter roof voids through spaces considerably smaller than either one requires.
Before securing any specialist fixings, our technicians diligently cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety is paramount. Disturbed dry droppings present severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly encourage secondary infestations to thrive.
Please explore this collection of the avian species we regularly assist with managing on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often assemble in large groups across our city areas.
Raising as many as six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership grows with astonishing speed. They soon dominate any structure offering quiet ledges or vacant roof spaces.
When dealing with this problem, we must acknowledge that pigeons regularly come back to their chosen nesting sites, so that brief dispersal methods can not break their habits.
Definitive pigeon control in Slideslow is based on physical barriers that stop landing entirely, carefully prompting these birds to choose alternative areas to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Expanding their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have since become firmly established nesters throughout Slideslow and the wider Midlands.
Those noisy birds nest in dense colonies on flat roofs, and growing territorial during their breeding season from April to August.
Gulls outweigh pigeons, mandating post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lesser deterrents sufficient for pigeon control.
We dedicatedly tailor our bird control systems for every single unique gull colony location!
Instead of utilising a typical fixed formula, we carefully adapt our specialist guidance and final resolution to match your particular roof type and colony size.
Starlings
Throughout Slideslow, starlings are recognised as a repeated time-honoured avian nuisance.
You can see these birds get into roof voids via smaller-sized entry points than pigeons, utilising exposed ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and split fascia boards.
Over the space of a season, starlings roosting in a roof void accumulate large amounts of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Slideslow
We provide a thorough suite of avian management techniques, meticulously tailored to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall severity of the infestation.
How could we really suggest recommendations without examining your site and the affected population first?
Every of our site surveys are fully complimentary and carries absolutely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
To achieve the most complete protection, bird netting carefully secures roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses, which effectively blocks access to nesting and roosting sites.
Looking for the highest level of protection? The UV stable polyethylene net provides tailored mesh sizes, featuring 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.
Once properly fitted, the netting remains virtually invisible from street level, providing a extremely unobtrusive and successful bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To successfully prevent birds a landing space, bird spikes are fitted to ledges and similar surfaces, parapets and walls, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These function by rendering the landing surface very disagreeable rather than putting up a solid barrier to the birds.
Opt for polycarbonate spikes on heritage and listed buildings to limit the visible impact of the deterrent installation.
Stainless steel material offers superior durability, making it well suited for industrial and commercial or commercial sites where lifespan under heavy dirt is valued over aesthetics.
We thoroughly assess your location’s specific requirements first to suggest the most suitable product.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems operate? They stretch stainless steel wire between posts to leave ledges, balconies, and roof ridges completely unsuitable for touching down!
Offering a highly discreet profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It equally preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly unsuitable.
Searching for the ultimate discreet protection? Wire is excellent for stylish commercial and civic properties! It is brilliant for historic buildings also, entirely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any chosen area from undesired bird behavioural activity, you simply and easily position a little dish of Bird Free gel onto that surface.
Measuring a modest eight millimetres in height, it is completely hidden from humanly visible eyes on the floor, yet your resident bird population will definitely notice its presence.
Because many birds perceive ultraviolet light, this special gel causes the building look to them as if it were on fire.
We prompt the birds to move during light or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and small birds quickly enter into sheltered roof spaces through holes in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Protecting these ingress points from avian pests uses stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, chosen according to the aperture dimensions and the specific species.
To ensure full adherence with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully arrange any exclusion work beyond the active nesting period.
