Remarkably, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects all wild bird in the UK.
Whilst removing nests, disturbing roosts, or using harmful deterrents constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are by no means left unprotected against the problems of nuisance bird populations.
In the still skies of Stechford, Birmingham Pest Control Co. provides professional bird control, utilising effective deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Stechford
Pest bird droppings unseenly contain a dangerous range of pathogens.
Please understand that dehydrated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a lung infection contracted by inhaling infected dust or handling soiled surfaces.
Whenever birds overrun a workplace area, the unseen threat of ornithosis hangs over a significant occupational risk.
For catering and food firms in Stechford, dealing with guano contamination involves working within strict statutory standards in along with addressing the key health risks.
In besides health hazards, bird droppings build up quickly within gutters, over roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before breeding, avian species habitually congregate on architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, leaving guano that significantly hastens the deterioration of stonework, obstructs drainage gutters, and causes treacherous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Ignoring bird issues at a Stechford property increases property damage, builds up guano, and means your installation job costs a lot more the longer you delay.
No matter the avian species, our bespoke proactive strategies help ensure that you and your property, your premises, and the occupants therein stay fully shielded from bird-related health hazards.
Pest bird species in Stechford
Wild pigeons and seagulls create the clearest damage on Stechford’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges give them permanent roosting shelter.
Characterised as a seasonal issue, starlings access roof voids through narrower openings than alternative species.
Our experts always clean away guano and nest material ahead of installing fixings. Aroused dry guano creates immediate health risks, and discarded nest material rapidly draws secondary infestations to the area.
Please browse this selection of the avian species we routinely assist with managing on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral city pigeons gather in dense concentrations in urban zones.
A lone breeding pair of pigeons can rear six broods annually, so populations increase rapidly on any property with peaceful ledges or undisturbed loft spaces.
As pigeons regularly come back to their familiar nest and roost locations, straightforward dispersal measures do not s\ucceed to disrupt this deeply ingrained behavioural pattern.
Effective pigeon control in Stechford involves physical barriers that stop landing altogether, which subtly guides the birds to seek an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls alongside lesser black-backed gulls have effectively established themselves in interior territories, becoming firmly established breeding colonies throughout Stechford and the greater Midlands.
Establishing dense colonies on level rooftops, these loud birds exhibit territorial behaviour during their reproductive season, which usually spans from April until August.
Since gulls are much heavier than pigeons, you have to implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than weaker pigeon control methods.
We carefully customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to match each specific setting.
Why accept one-size-fits-all packages? We passionately customise our advice and your ideal solution to fit your exact roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Starlings certainly count as a annoying seasonal pest bird in Stechford!
They gain access to roof voids through more limited apertures than pigeons, utilising open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Imagine the massive volume of faeces and nesting debris a starling roost produces inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Stechford
We provide a wide-ranging suite of avian management techniques, carefully customised to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall level of the infestation.
We exclusively offer professional advice after carefully examining your on-site site and the specific group.
Every of the site surveys are fully complimentary and carries totally no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
To provide total exclusion, bird netting protects roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This covers everything, effectively denying access to perching and nesting sites.
Our firm installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions set for individual species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By employing steel anchor systems, you can tension and fix masonry, steel, or timber.
See up! Properly installed netting is almost invisible from the street, delivering an highly discreet and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To successfully stop birds a perching space, bird spikes are installed to raised edges, wall tops, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
They function by turning the landing area feel uncomfortable, subtly deterring the birds instead of physically stopping them.
When preserving heritage and listed properties, polycarbonate spikes provide the best option to ensure the essential deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
In industrial or commercial environments where withstanding fouling is prioritised over visual appeal, stainless steel offers enhanced durability and extended working life.
We fully assess your site’s unique needs first to suggest the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
By utilising tensioned stainless steel wire secured amid posts, bird wire systems form a structurally unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a subtle deterrent, wire seamlessly suits commercial and civic architecture where visual appeal is key, while also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
First, wire offers the subtlest solution for commercial and municipal properties where appearance is important. Secondly, this choice safeguards heritage sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Arranged in a tidy dish, Bird Free gel remains unobtrusively on any surface needing defence against unwanted and persistent avian intrusion.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, it remains virtually invisible from ground level whilst being clearly perceived by the local bird population.
Birds are able to see ultraviolet light, which means this gel makes it appear the building appear like it is being ablaze.
To deal with slight infestations, we subtly direct the birds to find alternative locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Generally, starlings and sparrows penetrate roof spaces through damaged ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias.
Securing such ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, determined by the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
Carry out all exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
