Health risks from pest birds in Solihull
Droppings from pest birds carry a wide variety of harmful pathogens.
Dehydrated pigeon guano harbours salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that brings about ornithosis, a lung disease caught via the inhalation of tainted dust or physical contact with infected surfaces.
In work environments impacted by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a clear risk to worker safety.
For restaurants and hospitality premises in Solihull, guano contamination brings a serious legal burden alongside the instant, disturbing health threats.
Aside from pathogenic hazards, guano swiftly collects within guttering, on roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before coming to roost, birds collect along ledging, parapets, and roof lines. Under them, accumulating debris gradually accelerates decay in the stonework, blocks gutters, and makes the walkways below into extremely slick hazards.
Ignoring bird issues at a Solihull property worsens property damage, builds up guano, and ensures your installation job costs a lot more the longer you leave it.
Regardless of the particular avian species, our bespoke plans will efficiently protect you, your building, and those around you from the range of health risks that birds carry.
Pest bird species in Solihull
Feral pigeons and sea birds create the most noticeable damage on Solihull’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges offer them continual roosting shelter.
Starlings pose a recurring problem, getting into roof voids through spaces that are considerably smaller than either species requires.
Throughout every bird service, the technicians thoroughly clear away guano and nest material before adding any fixings. This vital preparation prevents the health hazards associated with disturbing dried guano, whilst helping ensure old nesting debris does not invite secondary infestations.
These are but a few of the magnificent bird species we care for daily.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons absolutely like to cluster in huge flocks throughout bustling city centre areas!
Rearing up to six annual clutches, a single pigeon partnership expands with remarkable speed. They soon occupy any structure offering sheltered ledges or vacant roof spaces.
Did you know pigeons stubbornly come back to the same nesting and roosting spots? Standard dispersal tactics do nothing at all to break that loop!
Efficient pigeon control in Solihull involves physical barriers that stop landing altogether, which gently directs the birds to choose an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Lesser black-backed gulls alongside Herring gulls alongside the lesser black-backed gulls have effectively spread into inland areas, becoming long-established breeding groups throughout Solihull and the wider Midlands.
You will notice these vocal birds nesting in dense colonies on flat roofs, where they show hostile behaviour during their breeding cycle from April until August.
Since gulls are much heavier than pigeons, you need to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than less robust pigeon control methods.
We accurately customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to meet each particular site.
Why settle for standard packages? We expertly customise our advice and your best solution to match your exact roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Starlings surely rank as a problematic time-of-year pest bird in Solihull!
They squeeze into roof voids through much smaller gaps than pigeons can, quickly taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Located discreetly within a roof space, a starling roost accumulates vast, unsightly quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the course of the season.
Bird control solutions in Solihull
We implement a thorough suite of bird control methodologies, meticulously selected according to the specific avian species, the building structure, and the general magnitude of the infestation.
How would we really suggest recommendations without examining your site and the affected population first?
Every initial property assessment is fully complimentary, with absolutely no requirement for any commitment.
Bird netting
To provide ultimate exclusion, bird netting protects roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This covers everything, efficiently denying access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our professional UV stable polyethylene net is precisely sized for each species, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless steel anchor systems secure the fixings straight into masonry, steel or timber.
When expertly fitted, netting remains virtually imperceptible from ground level, providing a extremely discreet yet effective avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
To completely remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are carefully fitted on ledges and similar surfaces parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, windowsills, pipes and signage, and signage.
They deter birds by rendering landing surfaces unpleasant instead of physically preventing them.
To protect the fine aesthetics of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the premier choice for delivering an exceptionally discreet deterrent setup.
In commercial or commercial spaces where withstanding fouling is given priority over appearance, stainless steel offers greater robustness and lengthened working life.
We initially discover the distinctive narrative of your space, making sure our eventual product recommendation is a properly ideal solution.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems operate? They tension stainless steel wire between posts to make ledges, balconies, and roof ridges totally unsafe for touching down!
Providing a highly discreet profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It also protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly inappropriate.
First, wire offers the least conspicuous solution for commercial and municipal properties where appearance is crucial. Secondly, this choice safeguards heritage sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unsuitable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any specified area from unwelcome bird behavioural activity, you simply position a little dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
At just a mere 8mm in height, it stays virtually invisible from ground level whilst being readily perceived by nearby bird population.
Birds see ultraviolet light, which means this gel causes the building to look like it is being ablaze.
Where infestations are slight or moderate, we use careful methods to prompt the birds to relocate.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrows readily slip into quiet roof spaces through openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Securing these unprotected gaps calls for stainless steel mesh or purpose-made vent covers, picked precisely to suit the size and species of invader.
To guarantee compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusion work must be planned outside the active nesting period.
