Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Compton and Surrounding Areas
Pest Solutions experienced bird control Birmingham team protects people and property from feral pigeons, gulls, and other pest birds across Compton and its adjacent areas!
Where they they choose to settle, birds leave behind fouling, noise, and structural damage as unwelcome consequences. Pest Solutions delivers thorough bird control services throughout Compton, supporting householders, 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, operate to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 standards, and have been delivering bird proofing solutions across the Midlands since 2001.

When a bird problem becomes urgent during the busy spring nesting season, you can count on us to respond swiftly and decisively.

Identifying the species must always be the first step, as this decides which deterrent is best suited and whether a Natural England licence is required before any work commencing.
We deal with bird-related issues across Compton all year round, covering both residential and commercial properties, and every assessment starts by establishing precisely which species you are dealing with.
Feral pigeons in Compton
Feral pigeons trace their roots in the rock dove, a species belonging to the pigeon family Columbidae, and they represent the vast majority of bird control callouts reported across 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.
Pigeons tend to congregate most persistently in locations where food sources and shelter are present in close proximity, which is precisely why takeaways, food retailers, and the older terraced shopping parades found throughout the inner suburbs consistently need the most comprehensive pigeon control efforts.
Feral pigeons lack the same protections as wild birds, but humane proofing remains the correct approach and is more cost-effective over time.
Gulls and seagulls on Compton rooftops
Situated well away the coastline, Compton 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 taken to nesting on industrial units and distribution sheds, where the broad, level rooftops serve 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 regular annual basis.
Once a pair of seagulls has set up a successful nest on a rooftop, they will return annually and attract 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 interfering with 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 carried out immediately and which require a formal licence application supported by written health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings squeeze their way into roof spaces through displaced tiles and exposed eaves across Compton, and the noise and dirt 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 Compton
Our pest-control technicians use a selection of bird management solutions suited to the species involved, the nature of the building, and the general scale of the infestation.
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 suggest the most suitable combination of deterrents following a thorough inspection.
The goal is compassionate and successful bird management: reducing bird activity, preventing access to the building, and clearing existing nests under licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a given space completely, making it the solution we turn to for large scale exclusion work: roof voids, loading bays, internal courtyards, the underside of canopies, and the recessed elevations often encountered on commercial buildings.
It is ideally suited to any open structure requiring complete sealing rather than the shielding of a single ledge, and once correctly installed it reliably excludes birds for years without the need for any further upkeep.
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are made with varying mesh sizes. If netting is fitted 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 are absolutely the go-to solution for keeping pigeons and seagulls off narrow surfaces like ledges, sills, parapet walls and signage! A stainless steel spike strip sits across a flat ledge and takes away the perch without causing the bird any harm whatsoever. Better still, it blends in subtly enough to suit most commercial frontages well!
Bird wire stretches a slender, tensioned line between small posts, making the surface too unstable for birds to land on. Post spacing adjusts wider for pigeons or closer 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 is housed within small cups positioned along ledges where spikes or wire would be impractical to install, and it works by producing an optical effect that birds perceive as a threat, deterring them from landing completely.
Optical and audible deterrents certainly have their role to play on open sites as well, and we deploy them as part of a wider programme rather than as a singular solution, because they really perform at their best when used alongside physical proofing measures.
Falconry response
Our falconry service uses trained hawks to break up established roosting patterns across open ground. Repeated flights disturb pigeons and gulls, relocating them away from a site over a season. This approach is suitable for retail parks, distribution centres and large rooftops where netting the entire structure is not practical.
Every appointment is carefully recorded by the operator, giving the customer with documented proof of the programme for regulatory purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Pigeons increasingly target Compton rooftops due to solar panel installations. The gap between panels and tiles provides constant shelter, and nesting birds produce guano that clogs gutters, damages the roof surface, and reduces panel performance.
Before the proofing is fitted, we remove any existing birds and nests, and a mesh and clip system fitted around the perimeter closes the gap without penetrating the panels or affecting their output.
Commercial Bird Control for Compton Businesses
For commercial clients, bird control is just as much a matter of regulatory compliance as it is a matter of controlling the birds themselves. We operate across hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Birmingham, and each environment presents its own distinct bird pressure alongside a varied framework of regulations that any programme must be planned to satisfy.
Pest bird activity close to food business premises poses a real health and safety threat, and the discovery of pigeons or seagulls during an environmental health inspection can in fact trigger enforcement action under food hygiene regulations.
Our commercial pest control service generates fully documented bird control programmes, including inspection logs and treatment records, that businesses rely upon to meet RSPH and third-party audit certification requirements.
For customers managing bigger sites or several premises across the Midlands, we run a planned programme of pre-arranged 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.
