The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act wraps a protective legal embrace around each and every wild bird in the UK.
Did you know that disturbing roosts, taking away nests, or using damaging deterrents is an offence within the Act? Fortunately, this completely does not leave you without protection against pest bird populations!
Offering specialist avian management within Whitchurch, Birmingham Pest Control Co. implements well-established deterrent and exclusion systems aimed to cause no injury at all to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Whitchurch
Did you know pest bird droppings are really brimming with a wide range of pathogens?
Dried pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen responsible for ornithosis, a respiratory illness acquired by breathing in contaminated dust or touching tainted surfaces.
Were you aware that ornithosis is a serious workplace health risk whenever bird infestations take hold?
Whitchurch operators in food and hospitality face tight regulatory risk together with the significant health and safety risks of guano contamination.
Aside from pathogenic hazards, guano rapidly builds up within guttering, over roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before nesting, avian species habitually gather on architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that significantly accelerates the deterioration of stonework, blocks drainage gutters, and causes dangerous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Neglecting a bird nuisance at a Whitchurch property may invite increasing structural damage and building guano, ensuring the essential installation job only grows increasingly expensive as time moves on.
Troubled by birds? No matter the species, our expert bespoke systems effectively protect you, your property, and everyone on site from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Whitchurch
Feral pigeons and seagulls result in the most noticeable damage on Whitchurch’s commercial buildings, as flat roofs and ledges offer them permanent roosting shelter.
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings reach roof voids through narrower openings than either species.
Prior before installing any fixings, our trained team carefully remove all guano and nest material. This process is essential because dry guano poses major health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material regularly invites secondary infestations to the treated area.

Feral pigeons
Huge flocks of wild pigeons assemble all over our thriving city spaces.
A single breeding pair of pigeons can raise six broods annually, meaning populations grow quickly on any property with quiet ledges or undisturbed loft spaces.
Did you know pigeons stubbornly come back to the same nesting and roosting spots? Basic dispersal tactics do absolutely nothing to disrupt that loop!
Proper pigeon management in Whitchurch relies on physical exclusion systems that entirely stop alighting, thereby prompting these birds to find alternative habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Spreading their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have now become firmly established nesters throughout Whitchurch and the broader Midlands.
You will find these vocal birds nesting in large colonies on flat roofs, where they show hostile behaviour during their breeding cycle from April until August.
Were you aware gulls are heavier than pigeons? They require strong post and wire systems or durable netting instead of the less robust pigeon deterrents!
Our systems for bird control for gull colonies are meticulously tailored to meet the needs of each individual location.
Why choose one-size-fits-all packages? We passionately customise our advice and the ultimate solution to match your exact roof type and colony size!
Starlings
Throughout Whitchurch, starling flocks are seen as a repeated time-honoured avian nuisance.
They enter roof voids through smaller apertures than pigeons, using open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Throughout one season, starlings roosting within a roof void build up a significant volume of waste and debris.
Bird control solutions in Whitchurch
How can we provide excellent outcomes? We adapt our entire suite of bird control options based on the specific species, the property type, and the size of the infestation!
We only provide specialist recommendations after personally examining your physical site and the particular population.
Every initial property assessment is completely complimentary, with absolutely no need for any commitment.
Bird netting
As an especially thorough approach of avian exclusion, bird netting covers roof boundaries, exposed facades, plant rooms, and structural recesses to block pest birds any nesting or roosting sites.
We secure areas using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene net, made to specific dimensions, with 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are accurately tensioned into masonry, steel, or timber.
Correctly installed netting remains virtually unseen from the street, offering a low-profile and very effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
How do we prevent annoying landing spots? We attach bird spikes onto ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage!
These function by turning the landing surface extremely uncomfortable rather than forming a tangible barrier to the birds.
When preserving heritage and listed properties, polycarbonate spikes represent the perfect option to help ensure the required deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
Because of its exceptional resilience, stainless steel makes the ideal choice for industrial and commercial or commercial settings where functional longevity despite significant contamination takes precedence over aesthetic considerations.
We carefully evaluate the specific demands of your premises prior to recommending which specific product will deliver the optimal solution.
Bird wire
By using tensioned stainless steel wire secured between posts, bird wire systems establish a unstable landing surface across horizontal ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is essential, while also safeguarding historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Providing an almost invisible defence, wire elegantly maintains the character of notable municipal and commercial properties. It discreetly shields period heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting installations is simply unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To deter unwanted bird behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed in a small container positioned on any area requiring focused protection.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, it remains virtually imperceptible from ground level whilst being clearly perceived by nearby bird population.
Because wild birds detect ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialised gel helps make the surface seem to be on fire.
In cases of minor avian activity, we use careful discouragement to prompt their move.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings frequently enter roof voids by taking advantage of entry points in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Safeguarding these vulnerable gaps calls for stainless steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, picked precisely to suit the dimensions and species of intruder.
Undertake all exclusion work outside the active nesting season to comply with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
