Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Bordesley Green and Surrounding Areas
The Pest Solutions expert bird control Birmingham team keeps safe both people and property from feral pigeons, gulls, and other pest birds throughout Bordesley Green and its surrounding areas.
Regardless of where they settle, birds inevitably leave behind fouling, noise, and structural damage. Pest Solutions provides thorough bird control throughout Bordesley Green for homeowners, landlords, facilities managers, and businesses alike, addressing everything from a solitary roost above a shop front to a colony dispersed across an entire commercial estate.
Our pest control technicians hold BPCA accreditation, work in accordance with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards, and have delivered bird proofing solutions throughout the Midlands since 2001. We carry out a thorough survey of the building prior to offering any recommendations, supply a written proposal with a fixed price, and respond promptly whenever a bird problem becomes urgent during the spring nesting season.

Establishing the precise species comes first, as it determines which deterrent we employ and whether a Natural England licence is required before any work can start.
We address bird problems throughout Bordesley Green all year round, covering domestic and commercial premises alike, and every single survey begins by pinpointing exactly what you are up against!
Feral pigeons in Bordesley Green
Feral pigeons trace their origins back to the rock dove, a species belonging to the pigeon family Columbidae, and they make up the vast majority of bird control requests received throughout the area.
Pigeons nest on ledges, window sills, balcony recesses, railway viaducts and canopy undersides, coming back to the same spot year after year, allowing the colony to grow steadily until the building owner takes action.
Pigeon issues tend to gather most intensely in locations where food sources and shelter exist in close proximity, which is precisely why takeaways, food retail premises, and the older terraced shopping parades found throughout the inner suburbs experience the greatest demand for pigeon control services.
Feral pigeons do not benefit from the same protections afforded to wild birds, yet humane proofing remains the best-suited course of action and, in the long run, proves to be the most cost-effective solution as well.
Gulls and seagulls on Bordesley Green rooftops
Situated far from the coast, Bordesley Green still supports a long-standing gull population concentrated across the bigger flat rooftops in the northern and eastern areas. Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have started nesting on industrial units and distribution sheds, where the broad, level rooftops serve as a plausible substitute for the sea cliffs these birds would naturally favour, and managing this challenge through the breeding season is work we undertake on a regular annual basis.
Once a pair of seagulls has nested successfully on a roof, they will return each year and attract others, meaning a single property can find itself hosting several breeding pairs within just a few years. Both species are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which means that removing an active nest or any eggs without first obtaining a Natural England licence is not permitted by law.
We clarify what can proceed immediately and what calls for a licence application supported by documented health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings squeeze their way into roof spaces through displaced tiles and exposed eaves across Bordesley Green, and the noise and mess they leave beneath entrance canopies rapidly becomes a genuine problem that keeps calls coming in!
House sparrows use comparable entry points. As both species carry legal protection during their nesting period, we carefully identify each one present during the survey and plan the entire programme in accordance with the specific protections afforded to them.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Bordesley Green
Our pest control technicians apply a variety of bird control methods based on the species involved, the type of building, and the level of the infestation.
A pigeon problem beneath a residential solar panel installation calls for an completely different solution than a hospitality venue dealing with gulls nesting on chimney stacks, and we recommend the most suitable combination of deterrents following a thorough survey.
The goal is humane, effective bird control: reduce bird activity, exclude birds from the structure, and clear away established nests under licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space entirely, making it our preferred solution for large-scale exclusion across roof voids, loading bays, internal courtyards, canopy undersides, and the recessed facades so commonly found on commercial buildings.
It is perfectly suited to any open structure requiring complete sealing rather than the protection of a single ledge, and once correctly fitted it reliably excludes birds for many years without the need for any further upkeep.
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are made with varying mesh sizes. If netting is installed at the wrong gauge, birds will find their way back through the gaps almost immediately, which is why our technicians carefully specify the mesh, the fixings and the cable supports based on the structure and the species involved.
Bird spikes and bird wire
Bird spikes represent the most popular solution for preventing pigeons and seagulls from settling on narrow surfaces such as ledges, sills, parapet walls and signage. A stainless steel spike strip is placed across a flat ledge to eliminate the perching point without causing any harm to the bird, and it remains subtle enough to suit the large number of commercial frontages.
Bird wire traces a slender, tensioned strand between modest upright posts, transforming any surface into an unreliable and unwelcoming place for birds to settle. The spacing between posts can be set out generously for pigeons or set closer together more closely for gulls, and because the wire itself sits beneath the natural sightline when viewed from street level, it often proves to be the more considered solution on listed buildings and ornate façades where an openly visible spike strip would simply not be permitted.
Bird-free gel and visual deterrents
Bird-free gel is housed within small cups that are positioned along a ledge where neither spikes nor wire can be installed, and it works by producing an optical effect that birds see as a threat, making them to avoid landing altogether.
Optical and audible deterrents certainly hold significant value across open-site environments, and we implement them as one component within a broader, integrated programme rather than as an isolated measure, given that their effectiveness is greatest when used alongside physical proofing methods.
Falconry response
Our bird of prey service employs trained hawks to disrupt established roosting behaviour across open ground. A hawk flown on a regular schedule disturbs pigeons and gulls, prompting them to leave a site progressively over the course of a season, making it well suited to retail parks, distribution centres, and large rooftops where netting the entire structure is not a practical option.
The operative logs each visit, providing the customer documented proof of the programme for compliance purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Solar panels have become an increasingly prevalent source of pigeon-related difficulties on Bordesley Green rooftops. The gap that exists between the panel and the tile surface provides pigeons with sheltered shelter throughout every season, and birds that build nests beneath an array will produce guano that obstructs guttering, causes damage to the roof structure, and progressively deteriorates the condition 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 Bordesley Green Businesses
For business clients, bird control is just as much about meeting compliance requirements as it is about the birds themselves. We operate within hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Birmingham, and each and every setting brings its own unique bird pressures alongside a distinct set of regulations that any programme must fully satisfy.
For food businesses, the presence of pest birds in the immediate 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 with inspection logs and treatment records, which businesses rely upon for RSPH and third-party audit certification purposes.
For customers managing more extensive sites or several premises across the Midlands, we operate a organised programme of scheduled visits, complete with photographic reporting and an emergency response provision should fresh activity emerge between scheduled inspections. Our dedicated pest bird control and gull control pages outline the full breadth of the services we deliver.
