The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act wraps a protective lawful embrace around every wild bird in the UK.
Whilst dismantling nests, interfering with roosts, or employing harmful deterrents constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are certainly not left without recourse against the issues of nuisance bird populations.
Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides professional bird control in Springfield, using humane deterrent and exclusion methods to shield protected birds from injury.

Health risks from pest birds in Springfield
Pest bird faeces harbour various pathogens.
Desiccated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the disease-causing pathogen triggering ornithosis, a lung illness acquired by breathing in tainted dust or contacting compromised surfaces.
Did you know that ornithosis is a major workplace health risk whenever bird infestations occur?
With regard to Springfield food service and catering premises, this brings in rigorous legal scrutiny alongside the established health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Putting health risks aside, guano collects fast in gutters, on roof coverings, and around drainage outlets.
Birds occupy perches, wall tops, and eaves before settling. The ensuing droppings beneath these areas speed up stonework deterioration, obstruct gutters, and pose immediate slip hazards on paths below.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Springfield property can invite progressive structural damage and building guano, meaning the essential installation job only grows increasingly expensive as time moves on.
Whatever winged species arrives, our bespoke systems protect your premises. Discover genuine peace of mind. We shield you and your local area from health hazards caused by birds.
Pest bird species in Springfield
Feral pigeons and gulls inflict the most visible harm on Springfield’s commercial buildings. Flat rooftops and ledging offer these pests with permanent roosting shelter.
Starlings create a recurring issue, entering roof voids through gaps that are far smaller than either species needs.
Prior to installing any attachments, our professional technicians thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This process is important because dry guano poses significant health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
Which wonderful bird species do we manage every single day? Take a look!
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons regularly gather in substantial numbers in metropolitan environments.
Are you aware a pigeon pair can produce up to six broods annually? They multiply very quickly on any building with undisturbed shelves or loft spaces!
These birds predictably go back to existing nesting and resting sites, which means short-lived scaring methods fail to break their repeated behaviour.
How do we master pigeon control in Springfield? Careful physical exclusion installations keep them perching at all, gently prompting them to choose another spot!
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully migrated inland, creating permanent nesting populations across Springfield and the wider Midlands.
These loud birds nest in thick colonies on flat roofs, and growing more aggressive during their breeding season from April to August.
Due to their increased mass when compared with pigeons, gulls require post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the less robust deterrents sufficient for pigeon management.
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are closely tailored to meet the needs of each specific location.
We develop bespoke approaches and advice suited to your roof type and colony size instead of deploying generic packages.
Starlings
We regard starlings as a seasonal pest bird within Springfield.
They find their way into vulnerable roof voids through openings far narrower than a pigeon requires, exploiting dislodged ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and split fascia boards.
Imagine the huge volume of faeces and nesting waste a starling roost creates inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Springfield
How can we provide brilliant results? We customise our entire suite of bird control options based on the particular species, your property type, and the scale of the infestation!
Our process starts by assessing your site and the problem population before we propose any solutions.
Would you believe it? Our property surveys are completely complimentary with completely no pressure whatsoever to proceed!
Bird netting
Searching for a best 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 secure areas using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene mesh, woven to precise dimensions, applying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Robust stainless steel anchor systems securely tension these fixings into stonework, steelwork, or timber.
When professionally fitted, netting stays almost imperceptible from ground level, offering a extremely discreet yet practical avian deterrent.
Bird spikes
To prevent birds from perching, we install bird spikes on pipes, windowsills, signboards, ledges, and parapets.
They discourage birds by rendering landing surfaces uncomfortable instead of blocking them.
How do you protect precious heritage and listed buildings discreetly? Amazing polycarbonate spikes are the perfect choice for a totally unseen defence!
For punishing industrial landscapes where enduring relentless dirt outweighs aesthetic elegance, resilient stainless steel remains the ideal choice. It truly lasts.
We thoroughly evaluate the particular requirements of your premises prior to suggesting which specific product will deliver the optimal solution.
Bird wire
By making use of tensioned stainless steel wire secured among posts, bird wire systems form a structurally unstable landing surface across level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Providing a highly unobtrusive profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It equally protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly unsuitable.
Delivering an barely visible protection, wire elegantly maintains the character of prominent municipal and business properties. It gracefully protects period facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To stop unwanted bird activity, simply and easily place the brilliant Bird Free gel dish upon whichever surface area you want to safeguard!
Standing a bare eight millimetres in height, it remains fully hidden from human eyes on the ground, yet your resident bird population will certainly notice its presence.
Birds can see ultraviolet light, meaning this gel causes the building look like it appears to be ablaze.
Where issues are slight or medium, we employ careful methods to encourage the birds to relocate.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings frequently enter roof voids by using openings in ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and degraded fascias.
We protect these entry points using stainless steel mesh or specially made vent covers, determined by the aperture size and bird species.
To preserve wild habitats, such works must be arranged strictly outside the active nesting period, complying the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
