The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legally safeguards all UK wild birds.
Legislation strictly bans damaging nests, interfering with roosting birds, or applying harmful methods. Thankfully, you still have several secure and lawful options on offer to deal with nuisance bird populations effectively.
Within Town Centre, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control by applying reliable deterrent and exclusion methods that guarantee no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Town Centre
Faeces from pest birds often carry a varied array of harmful microorganisms.
Dried pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the harmful pathogen triggering ornithosis, a lung illness caught by breathing in tainted dust or touching compromised surfaces.
First, we must acknowledge ornithosis as a serious occupational hazard in places with ongoing bird infestations.
For catering and food firms in Town Centre, handling guano contamination involves complying with strict statutory standards in addition to addressing the key health risks.
Besides pathogenic hazards, guano quickly accumulates within guttering, on roofing components, and around drainage exits.
First, birds collect on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before perching. As a result, their collected waste promotes stonework decay, obstructs gutters, and poses serious slip hazards on the paths below.
When you keep bird issues unsolved at a Town Centre property, you see growing structural damage and increasing guano, which continually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Affected by birds? No matter the species, our brilliant bespoke systems effectively protect you, your property, and everyone on site from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Town Centre
Which bird species soil Town Centre’s commercial premises the worst? Seagulls are responsible, utilising flat roofs and ledges for excellent, all-year-round roosting shelter!
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings access roof voids through narrower openings than alternative species.
Did you know disrupted dried guano actually presents significant health risks? It absolutely does, and previous nests lure pesky secondary infestations! That is why our excellent technicians diligently clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.

Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons often gather in significant densities throughout urban environments.
Because a breeding pair of pigeons can raise up to six broods annually, their population multiplies rapidly upon any structure offering uninterrupted ledges or empty roof voids.
As pigeons routinely return to their familiar nesting and roosting locations, straightforward scaring measures are unable to break this hardwired behaviour pattern.
Effective pigeon management in Town Centre relies on physical exclusion systems that fully prohibit alighting, thereby encouraging these birds to find other habitats in other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Did you realise that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have come inland? They are now nesting successfully across Town Centre and the wider Midlands!
Congregating in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these clamorous birds turn extremely hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period extending from April until August.
Due because of their higher mass compared to pigeons, gulls necessitate post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the less robust deterrents enough for pigeon management.
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are carefully adapted to fit each individual location.
We develop bespoke approaches and advice specified to your roof type and colony size in place of providing generic packages and bundles.
Starlings
We identify starlings as a seasonal pest bird within Town Centre.
By using open ridge tiles, broken soffits, and broken fascia boards, they enter roof voids through spaces more restricted than those utilised by pigeons.
Nestled quietly within a roof space, a starling roost builds up vast, unsightly quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the course of the season.
Bird control solutions in Town Centre
We deploy a wide-ranging range of bird control systems, adapting our approach to the specific species, property design, and general scale of the infestation.
We solely propose solutions after assessing your premises and reviewing the problem population.
We complete all site surveys without charge with no commitment required.
Bird netting
As the most comprehensive approach of avian exclusion, bird netting secures roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to deny pest birds any nesting or roosting sites.
Looking for the best protection? The UV stable polyethylene net offers tailored mesh sizes, with 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Robust stainless steel anchor systems reliably secure these fixings into masonry, metal, or wood.
Once securely fitted, the netting remains virtually invisible from the street, offering a highly unobtrusive and effective bird deterrent.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage removes perching areas.
Rather than establishing a tangible barrier, these systems operate by creating the landing experience highly unwelcoming for the birds.
To protect heritage and listed buildings, we advise polycarbonate spikes because they help keep the deterrent stays completely unobtrusive.
For punishing industrial landscapes where withstanding relentless dirt outweighs aesthetic beauty, resilient stainless steel remains the most suitable choice. It simply endures.
We meticulously assess the distinct needs of your premises prior to recommending which relevant product will provide the best solution.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems tension stainless steel wire between posts to form an unsteady landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As a discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is paramount, while also preserving historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
First, wire provides the most subtle option for commercial and civic properties where appearance is important. Secondly, this choice protects listed sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is not suitable.
Bird free gel
To halt unwanted bird activity, just position the innovative Bird Free gel dish on any area you want to safeguard!
Being positioned at a mere 8mm, who could possibly spot it from the ground? People will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population certainly won’t!
Due to bird sensitivity to UV light, this specialist gel causes the structure to look as though it is ablaze.
Where issues are minor or medium, we use mild methods to encourage the birds to move on.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Starlings and sparrows gain entry to roof spaces via unsealed soffits, broken fascias, and openings in ridge tiles.
We cover these entry points using stainless steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, dictated by the aperture size and bird species.
To protect wild refuges, these works must be arranged carefully away from the active nesting period, complying the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
