Incredibly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects each and every wild bird in the UK.
Did you know that disturbing roosts, taking away nests, or using harmful deterrents is an offence under the Act? Luckily, this certainly does not leave you without protection against pest bird populations!
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers expert bird control across Tividale, employing highly successful deterrent and exclusion methods executed to ensure no damage comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Tividale
Faeces from pest birds contain a broad range of disease-causing organisms.
Desiccated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness caught by inhaling contaminated dust or contacting tainted surfaces.
In work environments compromised by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a distinct hazard to occupational wellbeing.
This brings a level of legal supervision for hospitality and food establishments within Tividale, worsening the major health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Apart from carrying disease, guano quickly accumulates inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Do you sometimes see birds gathering on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before settling? Their unsightly droppings can hasten stonework decay, obstruct gutters, and lead to slippery slip hazards on walkways below!
Neglecting avian pests at a Tividale premises causes worsening structural deterioration, rising guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become steadily more expensive over time.
Affected by birds? No matter the species, our brilliant bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone on site from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Tividale
Wild pigeons and seagulls inflict the most visible damage on Tividale commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and sills.
They pose a seasonal difficulty, accessing roof voids through considerably smaller openings than either of the remaining species.
During every bird service, our technicians carefully remove all guano and nest material before fitting any fixings. This important preparation is vital because dry guano when disturbed poses substantial health risks, whilst left nesting material regularly attracts secondary infestations to the premises.
Below is a representative selection of the wide-ranging avian species we manage on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often congregate in large clusters in city environments.
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can raise up to six broods each year, their population multiplies rapidly upon any structure offering protected ledges or vacant roof voids.
When addressing this matter, we have to understand that pigeons consistently come back to their chosen nesting spots, meaning temporary dispersal tactics cannot break their behaviour.
Effective pigeon management in Tividale is based on physical exclusion systems that fully stop alighting, thereby prompting these birds to move to other habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Both herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have safely migrated inland, establishing permanent nesting populations throughout the area of Tividale and the wider Midlands.
Did you know these boisterous birds roost on level roofs in dense clusters? Watch out, as they grow very territorial during nesting season from April to August!
With the gulls’ considerable mass, gulls require robust post and wire systems or robust netting. Weaker pigeon deterrents simply cannot not work here.
We thoughtfully tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies to fit each specific setting.
We develop bespoke options and guidance suited to your roof type and colony size rather than providing generic packages and bundles.
Starlings
Starlings surely are a annoying annual pest bird in Tividale!
By using open ridge tiles, deteriorated soffits, and split fascia boards, they reach roof voids through openings more restricted than those used by pigeons.
Throughout a single season, starlings roosting within a roof void collect a substantial amount of waste and debris.
Bird control solutions in Tividale
Every refuge deserves careful protection. We orchestrate diverse bird control systems, adapting each response to the specific species, the distinct structure, and the actual scale of the infestation.
We only give professional guidance after carefully inspecting your physical site and the relevant population in question.
Our site assessments are completely complimentary, leaving you under no requirement to continue.
Bird netting
As the ultimate exclusion technique, bird netting protects roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to prevent birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
We fit UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions tailored to each species, employing 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we secure fixings into stone, steel, or softwood? Indeed, using corrosion-resistant anchor fixings!
Once correctly fitted, the netting remains practically hard to see from street level, offering a extremely unobtrusive and effective bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
To properly remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are securely fitted on sills, low walls, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
These function by turning the landing surface very unpleasant rather than creating a physical barrier to the birds.
How do you preserve precious heritage and listed buildings discreetly? Amazing polycarbonate spikes are the ideal option for a fully hidden defence!
Because of its excellent resilience, stainless steel is the optimal choice for commercial or commercial settings where operational longevity in the face of heavy contamination outweighs aesthetic considerations.
What does your location truly need? We find those specific details at the outset, ensuring we suggest your completely perfect match!
Bird wire
By tensioning stainless steel wire between sleek posts, bird wire systems smoothly convert exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into very unstable landing surfaces.
Offering a very subtle profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It likewise safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely inappropriate.
Wire provides the most discreet deterrent for public and commercial buildings that prioritise visual appeal. It also safeguards historic facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Arranged in a neat dish, Bird Free gel rests discreetly on any surface needing defence against unsought avian intrusion.
At just a mere 8mm in height, it remains virtually invisible from ground level whilst being clearly perceived by your local bird population.
Birds see ultraviolet light, which means this gel makes the building look like it appears to be ablaze.
Are you having minor bird issues? We will gladly encourage them to find another home!
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Generally, starlings and sparrows access roof spaces through broken ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Protecting such ingress points involves stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, based on the specific aperture dimensions and avian species.
Undertake any required exclusion work outside the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
