Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Bloomfield and Surrounding Areas
Pest Solutions’ experienced bird control Birmingham team helps safeguard people and property alike from the persistent threat of feral pigeons, gulls, and numerous other pest birds across Bloomfield and its adjacent areas.
Regardless of where they settle, birds consistently leave behind mess, disruptive noise, and damage to structures. Pest Solutions offers bird control services throughout the area of Bloomfield for homeowners, landlords, facilities managers, and businesses alike, whether the problem involves a single roost above a shop front or a colony spread across an entire commercial estate.
Our pest control technicians have BPCA accreditation, operate in accordance with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards, and have been delivering bird proofing solutions across the Midlands since 2001.

Establishing the precise species comes first, because it determines which deterrent we use and whether a Natural England licence is needed before any work can commence.
Every bird-related issue across Bloomfield is an issue we address all year round, covering residential and commercial properties alike, and every survey begins by establishing precisely which species and situation you are facing.
Feral pigeons in Bloomfield
Feral pigeons are descended from the rock dove, a member of the Columbidae pigeon family, and they account for the vast majority of bird control callouts across the area.
They congregate upon ledges, window sills, balcony recesses, railway viaducts and the undersides of canopies, with each pair coming back faithfully to the very same ledge season after season, so the colony grows with quiet persistence until the building owner eventually takes action to address it.
Pigeon issues often cluster where food and shelter are available in close proximity, which is why takeaways, food retailers, and older terraced shopping parades across the inner suburbs require the most intensive pigeon control work.
Feral pigeons do not benefit from the same protections afforded to wild birds, however humane proofing remains the most humane course of action and, over the longer term, proves to be the most economically sound choice as well.
Gulls and seagulls on Bloomfield rooftops
Even this far inland, Bloomfield has a consistent gull population across the wider flat roofs to the north and east. Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls nest upon industrial units and distribution sheds where the rooftops resemble the sea cliffs these birds would naturally occupy, and they are a task we manage throughout the breeding season each year.
Once a pair of seagulls has successfully nested on a roof, they will return each year and attract others, meaning a single building can accommodate several breeding pairs within just a few seasons. Both species are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which means that taking away an active nest or eggs without first obtaining a Natural England licence is unlawful.
We offer clear guidance on what may be actioned immediately and what requires a formal licence application supported by documented health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings exploit loose tiles and open eaves to enter roof voids in Bloomfield, and the resulting noise and fouling beneath entrance canopies produces a persistent nuisance that leads to a constant stream of complaints.
House sparrows make use of comparable entry points. Both species have legal protection during their nesting period, so we identify each bird during the survey and structure the programme according to the protections that are applicable.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Bloomfield
Our pest control technicians use a range of bird control methods based on the species involved, the type of building, and the severity of the infestation.
After conducting a thorough survey, we carefully determine and specify the most appropriate combination of deterrents, noting that a pigeon problem beneath a residential solar array calls for an entirely different solution than a hospitality client contending with gulls upon their chimney stacks.
The goal is to deliver humane and efficient bird management: cutting bird activity, preventing access to the structure, and removing existing nests under the appropriate licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space entirely and remains our recommended solution for large-scale bird exclusion projects, including roof voids, loading bays, internal courtyards, canopy undersides and the recessed elevations frequently found on commercial buildings.
It performs extremely well for any open structure requiring sealing rather than just a single ledge being protected, and once fitted correctly it keeps birds out for many years with absolutely no further effort needed!
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are manufactured to different mesh specifications, and netting installed at an wrong gauge will allow birds to pass straight back through the gaps almost immediately. This is precisely why our technicians assess the appropriate mesh size, the fixings and the cable support system based on both the structure being protected and the specific species involved.
Bird spikes and bird wire
Bird spikes represent the most universally trusted solution for preventing pigeons and seagulls from resting on narrow surfaces including ledges, sills, parapet walls, and signage. A stainless steel spike strip placed on a flat ledge takes away the perching opportunity entirely without causing any harm to the bird whatsoever, and the system remains sufficiently discreet to suit the vast majority of commercial frontages.
Bird wire stretches a thin, tight line between small posts, making the surface far unstable for birds to land on. Post spacing adjusts wider for pigeons or tighter for gulls, and because the wire sits below street level sightlines, it suits listed and decorative elevations where visible spike strips would be unacceptable.
Bird-free gel and visual deterrents
Bird free gel sits in small cups placed on ledges where spikes or wire simply cannot be fitted, working through a clever optical effect that birds instantly interpret as a hazard, stopping them from landing altogether!
Optical and audible deterrents certainly have a valuable role to play on open sites, and we include them as part of a broader, more comprehensive programme rather than depending on them as a sole solution, given that they perform best when used in conjunction with physical proofing measures.
Falconry response
Our falconry service uses trained hawks to disrupt established roosting patterns across open ground. Repeated flights unsettle pigeons and gulls, relocating them away from a site over a season. This approach suits retail parks, distribution centres and large rooftops where netting the entire structure is not practical.
The handler records every visit, so that the client has documented proof of the programme for compliance purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Solar panels have become an increasingly common source of pigeon-related issues on Bloomfield rooftops. The gap that sits between the panel and the tiles beneath provides pigeons a reliable, year-round refuge, and when birds begin nesting within that space, the accumulating guano blocks gutters, causes damage to the roof structure, and gradually reduces the performance of the panels themselves.
A mesh and clip system installed around the perimeter seals the gap without piercing the panels or reducing their output, and we remove any existing birds and nests before the proofing is put in place.
Commercial Bird Control for Bloomfield Businesses
For business clients, bird control is equally a matter of regulatory compliance as it is a matter of controlling the birds themselves. We work across hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Birmingham, and each environment presents its own specific bird pressure alongside a varied framework of regulations that any programme must be planned to satisfy.
For food businesses, the presence of pest birds in the vicinity of their premises poses a clear threat to health and safety, and the discovery of pigeons or seagulls during an environmental health inspection can prompt enforcement action under food hygiene regulations.
Our commercial pest control service generates fully documented bird control programmes, complete logs of inspections and treatment records, which businesses rely upon for RSPH and third-party audit certification.
For commercial clients managing several sites across the Midlands, we provide a planned programme of regular scheduled visits with photographic reporting, alongside a dedicated emergency response for any fresh activity that appears between inspections. Every detail of what this entails is laid out across our pest bird control and gull control pages.
Why Choose Pest Solutions for Bird Control in Birmingham
Pest Solutions has delivered bird control programmes throughout the United Kingdom since 2001, gathering in excess of 1,400 five star reviews and more than 20 national pest management awards, all founded upon pigeon proofing, gull management, and the falconry and licensed nest work that underpins both disciplines.
We hold British Pest Control Association membership, maintain ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 accreditations that are subject to annual independent audit, and we also operate as both a CEPA member and a Living Wage employer.
What this means for you is choosing a bird control specialist who has previously completed an identical type of job on the same kind of structure, a solution tailored specifically to your building rather than an off the shelf package, and documentation written to suit whoever needs to review it, be that a landlord, an insurer, or an environmental health officer.
We prioritise permanent solutions rather than follow-up visits, and the majority of our work comes through referrals.
Our technicians handle the full range of pest control services in Bloomfield as well, handling everything from rat and mouse infestations to wasp nests and cockroach treatments, so a pigeon problem on the roof and a rodent issue inside the building are dealt with through a single survey rather than needing two separate contractors.
