The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act legally preserves all wild bird within the United Kingdom.
Though the relevant legislation strictly prohibits removing nests, disturbing roosting birds, or using harmful deterrents, you still retain legal and practical means of defending your property from unwanted avian populations.
In the quiet skies of Westlands, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers reliable bird control, using humane deterrent and exclusion methods that help ensure protected birds are never harmed.

Health risks from pest birds in Westlands
Faeces from pest birds frequently carry a wide-ranging range of pathogens.
Did you know dried pigeon droppings carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory infection spreads by inhaling infected dust or handling contaminated surfaces!
Whenever birds invade a place of work, the unseen threat of ornithosis stands as a serious occupational danger.
With regard to Westlands food service and catering premises, this introduces rigorous regulatory scrutiny alongside the existing health and safety dangers of guano contamination.
In besides health risks, bird droppings accumulate rapidly inside gutters, across roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before settling to roost, birds gather along edges, parapets, and roof edges. Under them, accumulating waste gradually accelerates decay in the stonework, blocks gutters, and makes the walkways below into dangerously slick hazards.
Neglecting the bird nuisance at a Westlands property invites escalating structural damage and growing guano, meaning the essential installation job only gets more expensive as time goes on.
Irrespective of the avian species, our customised plans guarantee that your premises, staff, and residents remain completely safeguarded against bird-borne health hazards.
Pest bird species in Westlands
Feral pigeons and seagulls cause the most visible damage on Westlands commercial properties, making permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and edges.
Starlings present a yearly issue, entering roof voids through spaces that are far smaller than either species requires.
Prior before installing any fixings, our professional team meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This process is vital because dry guano creates major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material frequently attracts secondary infestations to the treated area.
These are only a small number of the magnificent bird species we care for every day.
Feral pigeons
Huge numbers of feral pigeons assemble throughout our thriving metropolitan spaces.
To start, a one breeding pair of pigeons can rear six clutches annually, which allows their population to increase quickly on properties with sheltered ledges or roof spaces.
Pigeons consistently revisit established nesting and perching sites, which means temporary scaring methods do not manage to disrupt their customary behaviour.
How do we master pigeon control in Westlands? Effective physical exclusion installations keep them perching at all, effectively encouraging them to choose another spot!
Seagulls and gulls
Expanding their range far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have since become established nesters throughout Westlands and the surrounding Midlands.
Gathering in dense clusters upon level roof spaces, these noisy birds show strongly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which typically runs from April until August.
As gulls are considerably heavier than pigeons, you must implement post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than lighter pigeon control methods.
We tailor every gull colony bird control system for its particular location.
We develop bespoke solutions and support specified to your roof type and colony size rather than using generic plans.
Starlings
Starlings surely rank as a annoying time-of-year pest bird in Westlands!
Getting into roof voids via narrower entry points than pigeons need, they take advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Over the course of a season, starlings roosting within a roof space build up large amounts of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Westlands
We provide a thorough suite of avian management techniques, carefully adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall extent of the infestation.
How can we ever suggest solutions without inspecting your site and the problem population first?
Every of our site surveys are completely complimentary and carries absolutely no obligation to proceed.
Bird netting
In need of the best shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the fullest exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
Our firm supplies and installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions specified for individual species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless steel anchor systems secure the fixings directly into masonry, steel or timber.
Once correctly fitted, netting remains virtually unseen from the street below, delivering a highly unobtrusive yet very effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
To effectively deny birds a landing space, bird spikes are installed to ledges, wall tops, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
Rather than establishing a physical barrier, these systems function by making the landing experience very unfriendly for the birds.
When preserving precious heritage and protected buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the best option because their discouraging appearance stays almost entirely unseen.
In manufacturing or trade settings, stainless steel offers impressive resilience, which makes it the ideal option when enduring heavy dirt is valued over aesthetic appeal.
By carefully analysing the particular requirements and needs of your site first, we ensure our subsequent product recommendation is ideally tailored.
Bird wire
By utilising tensioned stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems create a unstable landing surface across flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly unobtrusive profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are of utmost importance. It also safeguards delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly unsuitable.
Wire provides the most discreet deterrent for public and commercial buildings with an emphasis on visual appeal. It also safeguards heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is not acceptable.
Bird free gel
To shield any chosen space from undesired bird behaviour, you simply and easily place a little dish of Bird Free gel onto that surface.
Standing at a mere 8mm, what person could ever spot it from the ground? People will entirely miss its presence, but your local bird population certainly won’t!
Because wild birds detect UV wavelengths, this specialist gel helps make the structure seem to be ablaze.
In cases of minor avian presence, we employ gentle discouragement to encourage their relocation.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through spaces in ridge tiles, open soffits, and worn fascias, sparrows regularly enter roof spaces.
We secure these entry points using mesh or custom-made vent covers, dictated by the aperture dimensions and bird species.
How do we comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981? We time exclusion work beyond active nesting seasons!
Bird control for Westlands businesses
To shield commercial premises from birds successfully, we blend external physical barriers with routine inspections to identify any newly developing roosting areas.
