Incredibly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 covers all wild bird in the UK.
Under the legislation, disturbing roosting birds, taking away nests, or deploying harmful deterrents constitutes an offence under the law. Nevertheless, strong legal options are available to protect your property against pest bird populations.
Delivering specialist avian management within Weston, Birmingham Pest Control Co. implements effective deterrent and exclusion systems designed to cause no injury at all to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Weston
Faeces from pest birds often contain a wide-ranging selection of pathogens.
Dried pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness contracted by inhaling contaminated dust or contacting tainted surfaces.
Wherever birds overrun a workplace area, the silent threat of ornithosis hangs over a major occupational risk.
This adds a level of regulatory supervision for hospitality and food establishments within Weston, worsening the serious health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
In addition to health risks, bird droppings build up quickly within gutters, over roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Birds occupy perches, parapets, and roof margins before perching. The subsequent droppings beneath these areas increase stonework erosion, block gutters, and pose immediate slip dangers on pedestrian walkways below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Weston premises results in increasing structural deterioration, growing guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become progressively more expensive over time.
Whatever the bird species, our customised interventions help ensure that yourself, your property, and all occupants are kept completely protected against the associated health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Weston
Wild pigeons and seagulls result in the most obvious damage on Weston’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges offer them permanent roosting shelter.
Starlings pose a recurring issue, reaching roof voids through considerably smaller openings than any one of the alternative species.
Before securing any specialist fixings, our technicians diligently cleanse the area of all guano and nest material. Safety is our first priority. Disturbed dry droppings pose severe health risks, whilst abandoned nests quickly attract secondary infestations to thrive.
These are some of the bird species we look after every day.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeon groups routinely congregate in substantial densities throughout our city environments.
As a breeding pair of pigeons can rear up to six broods annually, their population increases rapidly upon any structure offering undisturbed ledges or vacant roof voids.
Driven by a potent instinct, pigeons persistently reoccupy their chosen sanctuaries, meaning simple spreading tactics will never break this deeply ingrained behaviour.
Successful pigeon control in Weston depends on physical exclusion systems that prevent landing completely, encouraging the birds to relocate to another area.
Seagulls and gulls
Did you know that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have moved inland? They are currently nesting well across Weston and the wider Midlands!
Assembling in compact groups upon flat roof spaces, these raucous birds show highly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which typically runs from April until August.
With the gulls’ considerable mass, gulls demand robust post and wire setups or robust netting. Lighter pigeon deterrents simply just not work here.
We precisely tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each individual site.
To help you most effectively, we tailor our guidance and your final solution based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
With each passing season, starlings reappear to Weston as troublesome pest birds.
You can find they access roof voids via smaller-sized entry points than pigeons, utilising unsealed ridge tiles, faulty soffits, and split fascia boards.
Throughout the season, starlings roosting inside a roof space will generate a considerable amount of droppings and nesting material.
Bird control solutions in Weston
We provide a comprehensive suite of avian management techniques, precisely adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall severity of the infestation.
We do not provide recommendations prior to in person inspecting your premises and the particular concerned population.
Every initial property assessment is fully free of charge, carrying absolutely no requirement for any commitment.
Bird netting
As the most complete approach of avian exclusion, bird netting secures roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to block pest birds any nesting or roosting sites.
Want the highest level of protection? Our UV stable polyethylene net provides tailored mesh sizes, including 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls!
Employing stainless steel anchor systems ensures these fixings are safely tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Once accurately fitted, netting remains almost unseen from the street below, providing a wonderfully discreet yet very effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
How do we stop unwanted landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto raised ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
How do they work? They make landing extremely uncomfortable rather than physically blocking the birds!
To protect the fine appearance of heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the preferred choice for delivering an remarkably unobtrusive deterrent setup.
In search of total resilience in industrial settings? Durable stainless steel stands out in grimy industrial sites where withstanding heavy grime matters far more than pristine finish!
To help you make the most suitable choice, we closely assess your specific space before suggesting the most suitable product.
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 touching down!
Providing a highly subtle profile, wire suits prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It equally preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains completely inappropriate.
Wire provides a highly discreet deterrent for civic and commercial buildings with an emphasis on aesthetics. It also safeguards heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is not acceptable.
Bird free gel
Arranged in a smart dish, Bird Free gel rests discreetly on any surface in need of defence against unsought avian intrusion.
Measuring a bare eight millimetres in height, it is entirely hidden from human eyes on the ground level, yet your resident bird population will surely notice its presence.
Because birds detect ultraviolet wavelengths, this purpose-made gel helps make the building look to be ablaze.
We persuade the birds to shift elsewhere during minor or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
How do starlings and sparrows get into roof spaces? They enter through soffits left open, fascias that are damaged, and openings in ridge tiles!
Safeguarding these ingress points from avian pests employs stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, picked according to the aperture dimensions and the particular species.
Undertake all exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to stay in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
