The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act offers a protective legal embrace around all wild bird in the UK.
Though moving nests, scattering roosting flocks, or using harmful deterrents violates the Act, you are never left defenceless. Options still remain to safeguard your space from intrusive pest birds.
Within Telford, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control by using reliable deterrent and exclusion methods that ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Telford
Faeces from pest birds commonly carry a wide-ranging range of pathogens.
Were you aware dried pigeon droppings carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory infection is spread by inhaling infected dust or touching contaminated surfaces!
First, we need to recognise ornithosis as a serious occupational hazard in locations with current bird infestations.
Regarding Telford hotel and hospitality and food establishments, this imposes stringent statutory scrutiny alongside the established health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Aside from health risks, guano builds up fast in gutters, on roof coverings, and around drainage points.
First, birds gather on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before roosting. Consequently, their built-up waste promotes stonework decay, clogs gutters, and creates dangerous slip hazards on the walkways below.
Ignoring avian pests at a Telford property inevitably and steadily escalates structural damage, increases hazardous guano accumulation, and significantly increases the eventual cost of the required mitigation installation over time.
Regardless of the avian species, our bespoke interventions ensure that you, your property premises, and all occupants remain thoroughly shielded against the health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Telford
Which birds dirty Telford’s commercial premises the most? Pigeons are to blame, using flat roofs and ledges for ideal, throughout the year roosting shelter!
As they return seasonally, starlings make their way into roof voids through openings much narrower than either one requires.
Our technicians consistently clean away guano and nest material ahead of fitting fixings. Disturbed dry guano presents immediate health risks, and abandoned nest material swiftly attracts secondary infestations to the area.
Which remarkable feathered species do we help manage every single day? Have a look!
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often gather in substantial densities in urban environments.
A single breeding pair of pigeons can rear six broods annually, so populations grow quickly on any property with sheltered ledges or uninterrupted loft spaces.
When dealing with this issue, we have to acknowledge that pigeons regularly revisit to their selected nesting spots, so that brief displacement tactics can not change their patterns.
Proper pigeon management in Telford relies on physical exclusion systems that fully stop alighting, thereby prompting these birds to seek different habitats in other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have successfully migrated inland, forming permanent nesting populations throughout the area of Telford and the broader Midlands.
Gathering in crowded clusters upon horizontal roof spaces, these clamorous birds show very aggressive behaviour during their annual nesting season, which generally extends from April until August.
As 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 enthusiastically adapt our bird control systems for each and every specific gull colony location!
To support you as well as possible, we adapt our advice and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
We recognise starlings as a seasonal pest bird within Telford.
You will see they enter roof voids via smaller entry points than pigeons, using unsealed ridge tiles, faulty soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof space will produce significant amounts of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Telford
Every haven deserves protection. We orchestrate a range of bird control systems, tailoring each response to the specific species, the distinct structure, and the full scale of the infestation.
Our procedure starts by assessing your site and the affected population before we propose any solutions.
We offer all site surveys completely free of charge, with no pressure to go ahead.
Bird netting
Looking for the ideal shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
We protect spaces using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene mesh, made to set dimensions, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems tension the fixings straight into masonry, steel or timber.
When properly fitted, netting remains practically imperceptible from the pavement, offering a extremely advanced and efficient avian control method.
Bird spikes
How do we block pesky landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
These function by rendering the landing surface very unpleasant rather than forming a tangible barrier to the birds.
To protect the subtle aesthetics of heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the ideal choice for creating an remarkably unobtrusive deterrent setup.
In workshop or commercial settings, stainless steel delivers impressive hardiness, which makes it the best option when enduring heavy dirt is favoured over aesthetic appeal.
We carefully analyse your site’s individual needs first to advise on the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems stretch stainless steel wire between posts to establish an unstable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where visual appeal is paramount, whilst also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
This option provides a highly discreet deterrent for public and commercial buildings prioritising appearance. This also safeguards listed facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is not acceptable.
Bird free gel
To protect any selected space from undesired bird activity, you simply put a compact dish of Bird Free gel onto the surface.
At only eight millimetres in height, it stays effectively invisible to those on the ground, yet your bird population will definitely notice it.
Due to bird sensitivity to UV light, this specialised gel causes the building to seem as though it were ablaze.
To resolve minor infestations, we gently encourage the birds to move to other locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrow birds enter to roof spaces via open soffits, broken fascias, and spaces in ridge tiles.
Managing such ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, based on the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
To protect wild habitats, such works must be planned exclusively away from the active nesting season, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
