The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 lawfully safeguards every wild bird within the whole of the United Kingdom.
Under the law, disturbing roosting birds, destroying nests, or applying harmful deterrents constitutes an offence. That said, effective legal options still exist to protect your property against pest bird populations.
Delivering specialist avian management within Wrockwardine Wood, Birmingham Pest Control Co. deploys effective deterrent and exclusion systems intended to cause no harm whatsoever to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Wrockwardine Wood
Unwanted bird excrement usually carries a diverse selection of pathogens.
Did you know dried pigeon droppings carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory illness spreads by inhaling infected dust or touching contaminated surfaces!
Ornithosis constitutes a significant workplace health hazard within occupational environments subject to avian infestations.
Wrockwardine Wood operators in food and hospitality encounter strict regulatory risk alongside the critical health and safety hazards of guano contamination.
Apart from biological hazards, guano rapidly accumulates in gutters, upon roofing materials, and around drainage points.
Before breeding, avian species habitually gather upon architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that directly accelerates the deterioration of stonework, blocks drainage gutters, and creates treacherous slippery hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Ignoring avian pests at a Wrockwardine Wood property ultimately accelerates structural damage, compounds hazardous guano accumulation, and significantly inflates the final cost of the necessary mitigation installation over time.
Affected by birds? No matter the species, our brilliant bespoke systems perfectly protect you, your property, and everyone onsite from nasty health risks caused by birds!
Pest bird species in Wrockwardine Wood
Relentless pigeons and seagulls create the clearest destruction upon Wrockwardine Wood’s commercial properties, claiming flat rooftops and ledges for long-term roosts.
Characterised as a challenge that occurs seasonally, starlings access roof voids through smaller openings than alternative species.
Our experts consistently clear guano and nest material ahead of putting in fixings. Moved dry guano creates urgent health concerns, and discarded nest material swiftly attracts secondary infestations to the area.
Below is a representative range of the diverse avian species we manage every day.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons regularly congregate in substantial numbers across urban environments.
One pair of pigeons produces up to six annual broods. Pigeon populations multiply rapidly on any structure with quiet ledges or vacant roof voids.
When addressing this problem, we need to understand that pigeons regularly return to their preferred nesting spots, so that temporary scattering measures can not alter their habits.
Practical pigeon control in Wrockwardine Wood involves physical barriers that deter landing altogether, which gently leads the birds to seek an alternative place to roost.
Seagulls and gulls
Extending their territory far inland, herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have now become firmly established nesters throughout Wrockwardine Wood and the surrounding Midlands.
Congregating in crowded colonies atop flat roofs, these raucous birds turn extremely hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period lasting from April until August.
Possessing more mass than pigeons, gulls demand sturdy post and wire systems or heavier-duty netting over the lighter deterrents utilised for regular pigeon control.
Our bird control systems for gull colonies are closely tailored to meet the needs of each specific location.
Instead of offering a standardised, basic package, we carefully adapt our expert advice and your bespoke solution based upon the roof structure and the colony size.
Starlings
Starling birds can be a occasional pest bird within Wrockwardine Wood.
You will find they get into roof voids via narrower entry points than pigeons, using exposed ridge tiles, broken soffits, and damaged fascia boards.
Imagine the huge volume of waste and nesting debris a starling roost creates inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Wrockwardine Wood
Every sanctuary merits careful protection. We orchestrate a range of bird control systems, tailoring each response to the specific species, the individual structure, and the actual scale of the infestation.
How could we really suggest solutions without examining your site and the affected population first?
We conduct all site surveys at no cost with no commitment needed.
Bird netting
As a most complete approach of avian exclusion, bird netting efficiently covers roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to deny birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our expert UV stable polyethylene net is carefully sized for each species, deploying 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Through using stainless steel anchor systems, the fixings are carefully secured into masonry, steel, or timber.
When correctly fitted, netting remains almost imperceptible from the pavement, providing a highly refined and efficient avian control method.
Bird spikes
To completely remove landing surfaces, bird spikes are expertly fitted on ledges, parapets, windowsills, pipes, and signage parapets, windowsills, pipes and signage, and signage.
How do they function? They render landing highly uncomfortable rather than physically blocking the birds!
Whilst preserving valuable heritage assets and historic buildings, polycarbonate spikes offer the ideal choice because their discouraging appearance stays almost entirely out of sight.
Seeking total toughness in commercial zones? Robust stainless steel performs well in grimy industrial sites where handling heavy grime matters much more than pristine looks!
To assist you in making the most suitable choice, we closely assess your specific space before recommending the best suited product.
Bird wire
To easily deter pests, bird wire systems employ tensioned stainless steel wire between posts, creating an unstable landing surface on level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly discreet profile, wire works well with prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are key. It also protects delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly inappropriate.
This option provides the most discreet deterrent for commercial and civic buildings with an emphasis on appearance. This also safeguards heritage facades where drilling for spike or netting fixings is not acceptable.
Bird free gel
Arranged in a neat dish, Bird Free gel rests discreetly on any surface needing defence against unsought avian intrusion.
Measuring a mere 8mm in height, it is virtually imperceptible from ground level whilst being clearly perceived by your local bird population.
Because birds perceive ultraviolet wavelengths, this specialist gel makes the building seem to be ablaze.
We prompt the birds to shift elsewhere during small or medium infestations.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings frequently penetrate roof voids by using openings in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias.
Protecting these ingress points from avian pests uses stainless steel mesh or bespoke vent covers, selected according to the aperture dimensions and the particular species.
To secure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusion work must be scheduled outside the active nesting period.
