Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Broadway and Surrounding Areas
The Pest Solutions specialist bird control Birmingham team protects both people and property from the threats posed by feral pigeons, gulls, and other pest bird species throughout Broadway and its surrounding areas.
Regardless of where they settle, birds regularly leave behind mess behind, disruptive noise, and damage to structures. Pest Solutions provides bird control services across Broadway for homeowners, landlords, facilities managers, and businesses alike, whether the problem involves one roost above a shop front or a colony spread across an entire commercial estate.
Our pest control technicians have BPCA accreditation, work to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 standards, and have been offering bird proofing solutions across the Midlands since 2001. We evaluate your building thoroughly 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!
Get in touch by calling us on 0121 285 4140, or send a request form for a free site survey online.

Identifying the precise species comes first, as it determines which deterrent we use and whether a Natural England licence is required before any work can commence.
We address bird issues across Broadway all year round, across domestic and commercial premises, and every survey begins by identifying precisely what you are facing.
Feral pigeons in Broadway
Feral pigeons trace their origins back to the rock dove, a species belonging to the pigeon family Columbidae, and they account for the large majority of bird control callouts received across the area.
They gather upon shelves, window sills, balcony recesses, railway viaducts and the undersides of canopies, with each pair returning steadfastly to the same ledge season after season, so the colony spreads with steady persistence until the building owner finally takes action to address it.
Pigeons gather in their greatest numbers wherever food sources and shelter are present in close proximity, which is precisely why takeaways, food retail outlets, and the ageing terraced shopping parades scattered across the inner suburbs generally call for the most intensive pigeon control attention.
Urban pigeons do not benefit from 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 Broadway rooftops
Even this far inland, Broadway maintains a consistent gull population across the larger flat roofs to the north and east. Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls nest upon industrial units and distribution sheds where the rooftops replicate the sea cliffs these birds would naturally occupy, and they are a task we handle throughout the breeding season each year.
Once a pair of seagulls has established a successful nest on a rooftop, they will return annually and draw in others, meaning a single building can accommodate several breeding pairs within only a few seasons. Both species are afforded full legal protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which means that disturbing or removing an active nest or its eggs without first obtaining a Natural England licence is strictly unlawful.
We advise you on which improvements can be completed immediately and which require a formal licence application supported by documented health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings use loose tiles and open eaves to enter roof voids in Broadway, and the resulting commotion and fouling beneath entrance canopies produces a ongoing nuisance that generates a constant stream of complaints.
Both house sparrows use the very same gaps too! Since each of these birds is afforded full legal protection whilst nesting, we confirm the species during the survey and build the entire programme around the protection that each one has.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Broadway
Our pest control technicians apply a range of bird control solutions based on the species involved, the type of building, and the overall scale of the issue!
Every bird control challenge is unique, and just as a pigeon problem beneath a residential solar panel installation calls for an entirely different approach than gulls congregating on the chimney stacks of a hospitality venue, we carefully identify and specify the most appropriate combination of deterrent solutions following a thorough survey.
The goal is compassionate and effective bird management: lowering bird activity, preventing access to the building, and removing existing nests under licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space entirely, and it is the solution 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 all open structure{s} requiring complete sealing rather than the protection of a single ledge, and once installed correctly it will keep birds out for many years without the need for any maintenance.
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are made with different mesh sizes. Netting that is put in place at the incorrect gauge will let birds to pass back through the gaps very quickly, which is why our technicians meticulously 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 commonly installed solution for preventing pigeons and seagulls from settling on narrow surfaces including ledges, sills, parapet walls, and signage. A stainless steel spike strip is placed across a flat ledge to eliminate the perching opportunity without causing harm to the bird, and it remains sufficiently discreet for the majority of commercial frontages.
Bird wire draws a fine, tensioned line between small posts so the surface becomes an unsuitable place to land! The spacing can be set wider for pigeons or closer for gulls, and because the wire sits below the sightline from street level, it is often the better choice on listed and decorative elevations where a visible spike strip plainly would not be acceptable.
Bird-free gel and visual deterrents
Bird-free gel is positioned in small containers along ledges where spikes or wire cannot be fitted. It produces an optical effect that birds see as a threat, discouraging them from landing.
Visual and sound-based 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 in conjunction with physical proofing methods.
Falconry response
Our falconry service deploys trained hawks to break up established roosting patterns across open areas. A hawk flown on a consistent schedule unsettles pigeons and gulls, gradually moving them off a site over the course of a season and this makes it perfectly suited to retail parks, distribution centres, and large rooftops where netting the entire structure simply is not practical.
The handler records each visit, giving the client documented proof of the programme for regulatory purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Pigeons are more and more choosing Broadway rooftops as their preferred hideaway, and solar panels are largely to blame! The gap lying between the panels and the tiles creates a neatly tucked , year-round refuge for these birds. Once they move in and start nesting, the resulting guano blocks gutters, causes significant roof damage, and steadily reduces the efficiency of the panels themselves.
We fit a mesh and clip system around the perimeter that closes the gap without damaging the panels or affecting their output, and we clear any existing birds and nests before the proofing is fitted!
Commercial Bird Control for Broadway Businesses
For commercial clients, bird control is just as much about regulatory compliance as it is about managing the birds themselves. We offer services across hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Broadway, where every setting presents its own distinct bird pressure alongside a unique collection of regulations that any programme must fully meet.
Pest bird activity in the surrounding area of food business premises presents a clear and significant risk to health and safety, and the discovery of pigeons or seagulls during an environmental health inspection can cause enforcement action being taken under food hygiene regulations.
Our commercial pest control service generates fully documented bird control programmes, complete with inspection logs and treatment records, which businesses depend on for RSPH and third-party audit certification purposes.
For bigger sites and clients managing several premises across the Midlands, we operate a structured programme of scheduled visits with photographic reporting and an emergency response facility for any fresh activity that occurs between scheduled inspections. Our pest bird control and gull control pages outline the full scope of the services we provide.
