Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Broad Green and Surrounding Areas
The Pest Solutions specialist bird control Birmingham team protects both people and property from feral pigeons, gulls, and a range of other pest bird species throughout Broad Green and its surrounding areas.
Wherever they decide to settle, birds leave behind fouling, noise, and structural damage as unwanted consequences. Pest Solutions provides complete bird control services throughout Broad Green, helping homeowners, landlords, facilities managers, and businesses alike, whether the challenge is a solitary roost above a shop front or a widespread colony across a commercial estate.
Our pest control technicians hold BPCA accreditation, follow ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 standards, and have been offering bird proofing solutions across the Midlands since 2001. We evaluate your building in detail before giving any recommendations, issue a written plan with a fixed price, and act fast when a bird problem becomes urgent during the busy spring nesting season!
Contact us by calling us on 0121 285 4140, or submit a request for a complimentary site survey via our website.
From rodents pests like rats, mice and squirrels to pest birds like gulls and feral pigeons and insects like fleas, moths, bedbugs, cockroaches, wasps, flies, ants and beetles, our experienced pest control technicians can help you resolve any pest problem.

Identifying the species is the important first step, as it determines which deterrent method is suitable and whether a Natural England licence must be obtained prior to beginning any work.
Every bird problem across Broad Green is met with our swift response all year round, covering both domestic and commercial premises alike, and each survey opens with a precise identification of exactly what species and situation you are facing.
Feral pigeons in Broad Green
Feral pigeons trace their lineage back to the rock dove, a species belonging to the pigeon family Columbidae, and they account for the vast majority of bird control requests received throughout the area.
They nest on ledges, window sills, balcony recesses, railway viaducts, and the bottom of canopies, and a pair will come back to that exact same ledge year after year, meaning the colony just keeps on growing until the building owner finally takes action!
Pigeons gather in their highest numbers wherever food sources and shelter exist in close proximity, which is precisely why takeaways, food retail outlets, and the older terraced shopping parades scattered across the inner suburbs typically require the most intensive pigeon control attention.
Feral pigeons do not receive the same legal protections afforded to wild birds, yet humane proofing remains the most appropriate course of action and, over time, proves to be the most economically sound solution as well.
Gulls and seagulls on Broad Green rooftops
Situated well away the coast, Broad Green still supports a long-standing gull population concentrated across the larger 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 act as a convincing substitute for the sea cliffs these birds would naturally favour, and managing this challenge through the breeding season is work we undertake on a consistent annual basis.
Once a pair of seagulls has nested successfully on a roof, they will come back each year and attract others, meaning a single property can find itself hosting several breeding pairs within just a few seasons. 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 guide you on what can be carried out immediately and what requires a licence application supported by documented health or safety reasoning.
Starlings and other nesting birds
The presence of Starlings forcing their way into roof spaces via displaced tiles and exposed eaves in Broad Green causes continual issues with noise and fouling beneath entrance canopies, resulting in a continuous stream of complaints.
House sparrows utilise comparable entry points. Both species have legal protection during their nesting period, so we record each bird during the survey and plan the programme according to the protections that apply.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Broad Green
Our pest control technicians implement a range of bird control solutions based on the species involved, the type of building, and the general scale of the issue!
A pigeon problem beneath a residential solar panel installation calls for an entirely 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 inspection.
The goal is kind, effective bird control: decrease bird activity, keep birds from the structure, and remove established nests under licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space completely, and it is the option we use when extensive exclusion is required: roof voids, loading bays, internal courtyards, the underside of canopies, and the recessed elevations so characteristic of commercial buildings.
It is well suited to any open structure that requires sealing rather than a single ledge offering protection, and once fitted correctly it will prevent birds from entering for years to come without any further maintenance required.
Pigeon mesh netting and gull grade netting are manufactured with different mesh sizes. Netting that is fitted at the incorrect gauge will let birds pass back through the gaps almost immediately, which is why our technicians carefully specify the mesh, the fixings and the cable supports according to both the structure and the species in question.
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 installed across a flat ledge to eliminate the perching point without causing any harm to the bird, and it remains subtle enough to suit the majority of commercial frontages.
Bird wire traces a slender, tensioned strand between modest upright posts, transforming any surface into an unwelcoming and unwelcoming place for birds to settle. The spacing between posts can be opened out generously for pigeons or drawn in 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 placed along ledges where traditional deterrents such as spikes or wire are not a viable option, and it works by producing an optical effect that birds instinctively interpret as a threat, discouraging them from landing altogether.
Visual and audible deterrents certainly have a valuable role to play on open sites, and we incorporate them as part of a broader, more comprehensive programme rather than relying on them as a sole solution, given that they perform best when used in conjunction with physical proofing measures.
Falconry response
Our bird control service uses trained hawks to disrupt the established roosting habits of pest birds over open ground. When a hawk is flown consistently on a regular schedule it creates an ongoing sense of unease amongst pigeons and gulls, gradually encouraging them to abandon a site entirely over the course of a season, making this approach ideally suited to retail parks, distribution centres, and expansive rooftops where netting the entire structure simply would not be practical.
The handler records each visit, giving the client documented proof of the programme for regulatory purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Solar panels have become a leading source of pigeon-related issues on Broad Green rooftops. The gap created between the panel and the tiles offers pigeons year-round shelter throughout the year, and birds that nest beneath an array generate guano which blocks gutters, leads to roof damage, and diminishes the effectiveness of the panels.
The mesh and clip system is installed around the perimeter to close the gap without penetrating the panels or compromising their output, and all existing birds and nests are removed before the proofing is put in place.
Commercial Bird Control for Broad Green Businesses
For business clients, bird control is every bit as much about meeting compliance requirements as it is about the birds themselves. We work across hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Birmingham, and every single setting brings its own unique bird pressures alongside a distinct set of regulations that any programme must fully satisfy.
Pest bird activity in the vicinity of food business premises presents a clear and significant risk to health and safety, and the finding of pigeons or seagulls during an environmental health inspection can cause enforcement action being taken under food hygiene regulations.
Our commercial pest control service produces fully documented bird control programmes, along with inspection logs and treatment records, that businesses use to meet RSPH and third-party audit certification requirements.
For more extensive sites and clients operating across multiple premises in the Midlands, we offer a organised programme of scheduled visits with photographic reporting and an rapid response option when fresh activity emerges between inspections. Our pest bird control and gull control pages detail the full scope of the work.
