Pursuant to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, every wild bird in the UK receives complete protection under law.
Did you know that interfering with roosts, clearing nests, or using unsafe deterrents is an offence within the Act? Fortunately, this completely does not leave you unprotected against pest bird populations!
Birmingham Pest Control Co. delivers professional bird control in Underdale, using non-harmful deterrent and exclusion methods to shield protected birds from harm.

Health risks from pest birds in Underdale
Were you aware pest bird droppings are fully teeming with diverse pathogens?
Please understand that dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by breathing in infected dust or contacting soiled surfaces.
Whenever birds take over a workplace area, the silent threat of ornithosis stands as a major occupational risk.
Underdale food and hospitality operators face tight regulatory risk alongside the serious health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Apart from biological hazards, guano swiftly accumulates in gutters, upon roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before breeding, avian species often gather along architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, leaving guano that directly hastens the deterioration of stonework, obstructs drainage gutters, and causes hazardous slip hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
When you allow bird issues unsolved at a Underdale property, you face growing structural damage and building guano, which continually increases the cost of your eventual installation.
Regardless of the avian species, our tailored interventions help ensure that you, your property premises, and all occupants are kept thoroughly protected against the health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Underdale
In Underdale, commercial properties suffer the most visible damage from feral pigeons and seagulls, which utilise horizontal rooftops and ledges for continual roosting shelter.
Starlings create a recurring challenge, entering roof voids through gaps that are far smaller than either species requires.
Prior before installing any attachments, our trained team thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This process is important because dry guano presents major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often draws secondary infestations to the treated area.
Those are only a few of the magnificent bird species we care for daily.
Feral pigeons
Huge numbers of wild pigeons congregate throughout our busy urban spaces.
One pigeon pair produces up to six annual broods. Pigeon populations increase quickly on any structure with quiet ledges or vacant roof voids.
Driven by a strong instinct, pigeons persistently reoccupy their chosen sanctuaries, meaning mere spreading tactics will not ever disrupt this deeply ingrained behaviour.
Controlling pigeon populations in Underdale requires exclusion systems that fully prevent landing, thereby encouraging the birds to colonise other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Spreading their presence far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have since become firmly established nesters throughout Underdale and the broader Midlands.
You will see these vocal birds nesting in thick colonies on flat roofs, where they display hostile behaviour during their breeding cycle from April until August.
With the birds’ considerable mass, gulls need robust post-and-wire systems or heavy-duty netting. Weaker pigeon deterrents simply just not work here.
We precisely adapt our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each individual setting.
To assist you as well as possible, we customise our advice and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
Throughout Underdale, these birds are seen as a repeated time-honoured avian nuisance.
They squeeze into roof voids through much smaller gaps than pigeons can, swiftly taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Nestled quietly within a roof space, a starling roost collects vast, unsightly quantities of droppings and nesting materials over the course of the season.
Bird control solutions in Underdale
We supply a thorough suite of avian management techniques, meticulously adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall extent of the infestation.
We only propose solutions after examining your premises and reviewing the problem population.
Every first property assessment is entirely free of charge, carrying absolutely no need for future commitment.
Bird netting
As the ultimate exclusion technique, bird netting protects roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to stop birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Our expert UV stable polyethylene net is precisely sized for each species, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems fasten the fixings straight into brickwork, steel or timber.
See up! Properly installed netting is almost not visible from the street, offering an very discreet and efficient bird solution.
Bird spikes
To entirely deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are professionally fitted on ledges parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage, pipes and nearby fixtures, and signage.
These function by making the landing area feel uncomfortable, subtly discouraging the birds rather than physically stopping them.
When safeguarding heritage and listed premises, polycarbonate spikes represent the best choice to make sure the required deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
For harsh industrial landscapes where surviving relentless dirt takes precedence over aesthetic elegance, resilient stainless steel remains the best choice. It truly lasts.
We carefully review the distinct requirements of your premises before suggesting which specific product will deliver the most suitable solution.
Bird wire
How do bird wire systems operate? They stretch stainless steel wire between posts to make ledges, balconies, and roof ridges completely unsuitable for perching!
As the discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is paramount, whilst also protecting historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Offering an almost invisible shield, wire elegantly preserves the design of prominent civic and business properties. It gracefully protects historic frontages where drilling for spike or netting installations is truly not feasible.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any targeted surface from nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is applied within a compact dish positioned on that area.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, it stays virtually unnoticeable from ground level whilst being readily perceived by your local bird population.
As birds see ultraviolet light, this ingenious gel makes for the building to look like it is completely on fire!
To resolve moderate infestations, we carefully direct the birds to seek different locations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How can starlings and sparrows access roof spaces? They make use of open soffits, fascias that are damaged, and openings in ridge tiles!
We secure these entry points using steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, dictated by the aperture dimensions and bird species.
To guarantee complete compliance to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusionary measures must be scheduled away from the active nesting season.
