The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 offers a protective legal embrace around all wild bird in the UK.

Within Whitehaven, Birmingham Pest Control Co. offers professional bird control by applying reliable deterrent and exclusion methods that help ensure no harm comes to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Whitehaven
Were you aware pest bird droppings are really brimming with a wide range of pathogens?
Please be aware that dehydrated pigeon guano contains salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen triggering ornithosis, a lung illness contracted by breathing in infected dust or handling soiled surfaces.
Bird infestations put workers subject to the significant occupational health hazard of ornithosis.
Did you know for Whitehaven food and hospitality sites, guano contamination triggers strict regulatory compliance on top of critical health and safety hazards?
Besides pathogenic hazards, guano quickly collects within guttering, on roofing components, and around drainage exits.
Before establishing their roosts, birds gather on structural ledges, parapets, and rooflines, depositing corrosive waste that hastens the deterioration of masonry, blocks drainage channels, and creates hazardous slipping risks on pathways below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Whitehaven premises leads to increasing structural deterioration, rising guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become steadily more expensive over time.
Regardless of the bird species, our tailored interventions ensure that yourself, your premises, and all occupants are kept completely safeguarded against the health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Whitehaven
In Whitehaven, commercial properties experience the most conspicuous damage from feral pigeons and seagulls, which make use of horizontal rooftops and ledges for ongoing roosting shelter.
These birds present a periodic difficulty, entering roof voids through much smaller openings than any one of the alternative species.
Prior to installing any attachments, our trained team meticulously remove all guano and nest material. This step is important because dry guano presents significant health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material frequently invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
These are a few of the bird species we handle daily.
Feral pigeons
Feral city pigeons assemble in high concentrations throughout urban zones.
As a breeding pair of pigeons can rear up to six broods annually, their population increases rapidly upon any structure offering uninterrupted ledges or empty roof voids.
Driven by a powerful instinct, pigeons relentlessly return to their chosen sanctuaries, meaning mere spreading tactics will not ever break this deeply ingrained habit.
Proper pigeon management in Whitehaven is based on physical exclusion systems that entirely stop alighting, thereby prompting these birds to find different habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Herring gulls alongside Herring gulls have safely spread into central territories, becoming well-established breeding colonies throughout Whitehaven and the wider Midlands.
Assembling in crowded colonies upon flat roof spaces, these raucous birds show highly hostile behaviour during their annual nesting season, which usually extends from April until August.
Gulls outweigh pigeons, required for post and wire systems or heavy-duty netting over the lighter deterrents adequate for pigeon control.
We precisely customise our bird control systems for gull colonies to suit each individual setting.
We turn away standard, identical packages. Rather, we adapt our support and your tailored solution around the specific architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
We identify starlings as a yearly pest bird within Whitehaven.
They slip into roof voids through much smaller gaps than pigeons can, quickly exploiting open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards!
Over the space of a season, starlings roosting within a roof space collect substantial quantities of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Whitehaven
How do we achieve brilliant outcomes? We customise our entire suite of bird control options based on the particular species, the property type, and the extent of the infestation!
Our procedure starts by reviewing your site and the affected population before we recommend any answers.
Our site surveys are entirely complimentary, so you are under absolutely requirement to go ahead.
Bird netting
As the final exclusion technique, bird netting secures roof edges, open facades, plant rooms, and structural alcoves to deny birds access to nesting or roosting sites.
Our approach combines UV stable polyethylene net to suit each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Stainless-steel anchor systems fasten the fixings directly into brickwork, steel or timber.
Correctly installed netting remains virtually invisible from street level, offering a low-profile and highly effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To successfully remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are firmly fitted on ledgес, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage.
They deter birds by rendering landing surfaces uncomfortable instead of physically preventing them.
To protect the subtle visual character of period and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes represent the preferred choice for delivering an exceptionally subtle deterrent setup.
Because of its exceptional resilience, stainless steel makes the optimal choice for industrial or commercial settings where operational longevity in the face of severe contamination outweighs aesthetic considerations.
We thoroughly review your location’s specific needs first to advise on the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
By tensioning stainless steel wire between slim posts, bird wire systems seamlessly transform exposed ledges, balconies, and roof ridges into highly unstable landing surfaces.
As the subtle deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where visual appeal is paramount, while also safeguarding historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains highly unsuitable.
Looking for the ultimate discreet defence? Wire is ideal for attractive commercial and civic structures! It is excellent for historic buildings as well, entirely avoiding the drilling required for spikes or netting.
Bird free gel
To deter nuisance avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is deployed in a compact container situated upon any area requiring targeted protection.
Standing at a mere 8mm in height, it remains virtually imperceptible from ground level whilst being easily perceived by the local bird population.
Because wild birds can perceive ultraviolet light, this purpose-made gel makes the building seem to be ablaze.
When bird assemblies stay modest, we will gently encourage these winged visitors to find a home in another place.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Birds and sparrows readily enter into sheltered roof spaces through holes in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
We seal these entry points using stainless steel mesh or suitable vent covers, picked to fit the relevant bird species and opening size.
Carry out all exclusion work outside the active nesting season to remain compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
