The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 offers a statutory regulatory embrace around each and every wild bird in the UK.
Under the law, disturbing roosting birds, destroying nests, or using harmful deterrents is an illegal act. However, robust legal options remain to protect your property against pest bird populations.

Health risks from pest birds in Yew Tree
Pest bird faeces harbour various pathogens.
Were you aware dried pigeon droppings carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory illness spreads through inhaling infected dust or contact with contaminated surfaces!
In work spaces compromised by bird infestations, ornithosis represents a specific threat to professional health.
Did you know for Yew Tree food and hospitality sites, guano contamination results in strict regulatory compliance in addition to critical health and safety hazards?
Aside from biological hazards, guano rapidly accumulates inside gutters, on roofing materials, and near drainage points.
Before coming to roost, birds congregate along edges, parapets, and roof borders. Below them, accumulating waste quietly accelerates decay in the stonework, chokes gutters, and turns the walkways below into extremely slick hazards.
Neglecting a bird nuisance at a Yew Tree property invites increasing structural damage and growing guano, meaning the essential installation job only grows more expensive as time goes on.
Whatever winged species appears, our bespoke systems shield your premises. Experience genuine peace of mind. We protect you and your community from health hazards associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Yew Tree
Persistent pigeons and seagulls create the most obvious destruction upon Yew Tree’s business premises, seizing flat rooftops and ledges for permanent sanctuaries.
These birds create a time of year hazard, entering roof voids through more restricted openings than either species of bird.
Did you know disturbed dried guano actually creates serious health risks? It certainly does, and previous nests attract nasty additional infestations! That is the reason our very excellent technicians thoroughly clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Which wonderful bird species do we manage every working day? Take a look!
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeon numbers consistently gather in considerable densities throughout our city environments.
Did you realise pigeon pairs can produce up to six clutches each year? They increase very quickly on almost any building with unoccupied ledges or loft spaces!
Did you know pigeons doggedly revert to the same nesting and roosting spots? Standard dispersal tactics do nothing at all to end that loop!
Effective pigeon management in Yew Tree relies on physical exclusion systems that fully prohibit alighting, thereby leading these birds to seek different habitats elsewhere.
Seagulls and gulls
Each of the herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have safely migrated inland, establishing permanent nesting populations throughout Yew Tree and the greater Midlands.
These loud birds nest in crowded colonies on flat roofs, and growing more aggressive during their breeding season from April to August.
Due to their increased mass compared to pigeons, gulls require post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the lighter deterrents adequate for pigeon management.
Every area is different, so we tailor our bird control systems for gull colonies on an individual basis.
Instead of offering a standardised, basic package, we meticulously tailor our specialist advice and your bespoke solution based upon the roof structure and colony size.
Starlings
With seasonal changes, starlings return to Yew Tree as problematic pest birds.
They gain access to roof voids through smaller apertures than pigeons, taking advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Imagine the huge volume of waste and nesting waste a starling roost produces inside a roof space over a single season!
Bird control solutions in Yew Tree
We carefully select from our extensive range of bird control procedures, adapting each solution to the target species, the building structure, and the size of the infestation.
Our procedure commences by inspecting your site and the target population before we recommend any answers.
We complete all site surveys free of charge with absolutely zero commitment needed.
Bird netting
To deliver complete exclusion, bird netting covers roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses. This protects everything, successfully denying access to roosting and nesting sites.
Our company supplies and installs UV stable polyethylene net with mesh dimensions set for particular species, namely 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
By employing stainless steel anchor systems, you can secure fixings into masonry, steel, or timber.
Correctly installed netting stays virtually unseen from the street, delivering a discreet and extremely effective bird control solution.
Bird spikes
To deter birds from settling, we install bird spikes on pipework, sills, signs, ridges, and parapets.
They deter birds by rendering landing surfaces less comfortable instead of physically preventing them.
When safeguarding heritage and listed buildings, polycarbonate spikes provide the best solution to ensure the required deterrent remains fully unobtrusive.
In manufacturing or industrial spaces where withstanding fouling is prioritised over aesthetic appeal, stainless steel offers greater durability and prolonged service life.
We initially uncover the distinctive story of your space, so that our eventual product recommendation is a truly perfect fit.
Bird wire
To readily deter unwanted pests, bird wire systems use tightened stainless steel wire between posts, creating an insecure landing surface on flat ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the most most discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits commercial and civic architecture where looks is key, whilst also safeguarding historic facades where drilling to secure spike or netting systems remains unsuitable.
First, wire offers the least conspicuous deterrent for commercial and municipal properties where appearance is crucial. Secondly, this choice safeguards historic sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any selected spot from unwanted bird activity, you just place a small dish of Bird Free gel onto that surface.
Being positioned at a mere 8mm, who could ever spot it from the ground? Humans will entirely miss its presence, but your local bird population certainly won’t!
Due to avian sensitivity to UV light, this specially formulated gel causes the building to look as though it were ablaze.
In instances of minor avian presence, we employ gentle discouragement to prompt their departure.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings frequently access roof voids by using entry points in ridge tiles, uncovered soffits, and damaged fascias.
We seal these entry points using stainless steel mesh or appropriate vent covers, chosen to suit the particular bird species and opening size.
To guarantee full adherence with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you should carefully schedule any exclusion work outside the active nesting period.
