Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Coundon and Surrounding Areas
Pest Solutions’ experienced bird control Birmingham team protects people as well as property from the persistent threat of feral pigeons, gulls, and a range of other pest birds across Coundon and its nearby areas.
Regardless of where they settle, birds inevitably leave behind fouling, noise, and structural damage. Pest Solutions offers comprehensive bird control throughout Coundon 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 provided bird proofing solutions throughout the Midlands since 2001. We conduct 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.
Give us a call on 0121 285 4140, or send a message for a complimentary site survey through 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 decides which deterrent method is appropriate and whether a Natural England licence must be acquired prior to starting any work.
We address bird issues throughout Coundon year round, in domestic and commercial premises, and every survey begins by establishing precisely what you are facing.
Feral pigeons in Coundon
Feral pigeons are descended directly from the rock dove, a species in the pigeon family Columbidae, and they account for the vast majority of bird control interventions requested throughout the area.
Pigeons regularly nest on ledges, window sills, balcony recesses, railway viaducts, and the underside of canopies, with a bonded pair coming back to the very same spot season after season, meaning the colony expands steadily until the building owner takes action.
Pigeons assemble in their greatest numbers wherever food sources and shelter can be found 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.
Feral pigeons do not enjoy the same protections as wild birds, yet humane proofing remains still the right course of action and, over the long term, it is also the most cost effective solution!
Gulls and seagulls on Coundon rooftops
Situated well away the coast, Coundon still sustains 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 taken to nesting on industrial units and distribution sheds, where the broad, level rooftops act 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 successfully nested on a roof, they will return each year and attract others, meaning a single building can house 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 written health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings squeeze their way into roof spaces through displaced tiles and exposed eaves across Coundon, and the noise and dirt they leave beneath entrance canopies rapidly becomes a genuine problem that keeps calls coming in!
Both house sparrows use the very same gaps too! Since each of these birds is afforded full legal protection whilst nesting, we identify the species during the survey and shape the entire programme around the protection that each one has.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Coundon
Our pest control technicians apply various bird management solutions tailored to the species involved, the nature of the building, and the overall scale of the infestation.
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, assess and specify the most appropriate combination of deterrent solutions following a thorough survey.
The goal is kind, effective bird control: reduce bird activity, exclude birds from the structure, and remove established nests under licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space entirely, making it our favoured solution for extensive exclusion across roof voids, loading bays, internal courtyards, canopy undersides, and the recessed facades so commonly found on commercial buildings.
It is ideally suited to any open structure that requires sealing rather than a single ledge providing protection, and once correctly installed it keeps birds away for many years without the need for any further maintenance.
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are manufactured to significantly different mesh specifications. A net fitted at an incorrect gauge will let birds to pass back through the openings almost immediately, which is why our technicians meticulously determine the appropriate mesh size, fixings, and cable supports according to both the structure in question and the specific species concerned.
Bird spikes and bird wire
Bird spikes represent the most extensively utilised solution for deterring pigeons and seagulls from landing on limited surfaces including ledges, sills, parapet walls and signage. A stainless steel spike strip is installed across a flat ledge, effectively removing the perching opportunity without causing any harm to the bird, whilst remaining sufficiently unobtrusive to suit the majority of commercial frontages.
Bird wire forms a fine, tensioned line stretched between small posts, making any surface an unsuitable and uncomfortable place for birds to land. The spacing between posts can be set to suit different species, with wider gaps suitable for pigeons and narrower settings more suitable to gulls. As the wire sits below the sightline when viewed from street level, it is often the preferred solution on listed and decorative elevations where a more visible spike strip would simply not be acceptable.
Bird-free gel and visual deterrents
Bird-free gel is placed in small cups along ledges where spikes or wire cannot be fitted. It creates an optical effect that birds see as a threat, deterring them from landing.
Optical and audible deterrents serve a purpose on open sites too, and we implement them as part of a wider programme rather than a standalone solution, because they work best when combined with physical proofing.
Falconry response
Our falconry service uses trained hawks to disrupt established roosting patterns across open ground. Repeated flights disturb pigeons and gulls, moving 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.
The handler documents each visit in full, ensuring the client holds documented proof of the programme for compliance purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Solar panels have become a significant source of pigeon-related issues on Coundon rooftops. The gap created between the panel and the tiles offers pigeons consistent shelter throughout the year, and birds that nest beneath an array create guano which obstructs gutters, results in roof damage, and lowers the effectiveness of the panels.
We install a mesh and clip system around the perimeter to seal the gap without penetrating the panels or reducing output, removing existing birds and nests before the proofing is installed.
Commercial Bird Control for Coundon Businesses
For business clients, managing bird control is just as much a matter of regulatory compliance as it is about the birds themselves. We serve the hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics sectors across Birmingham, and each one of those environments brings with it a distinct level of bird pressure alongside a unique framework of regulations that any effective programme must fully meet.
Pest bird activity in the vicinity of food business premises presents a clear and significant risk to health and safety, and the presence of pigeons or seagulls during an environmental health inspection can result in enforcement action being taken under food hygiene regulations.
Our commercial pest control service creates fully documented bird control programmes, including inspection logs and treatment records, which businesses depend on to satisfy RSPH and third-party audit certification requirements.
For larger sites and clients managing several premises across the Midlands, we operate a planned programme of scheduled visits with photographic reporting and an emergency response facility for any fresh activity that arises between scheduled inspections. Our pest bird control and gull control pages outline the full scope of the services we provide.

Our specialists handle the full breadth of pest control services in Coundon, covering everything from rat and mouse infestations to wasp nests and cockroach treatments, meaning a pigeon problem on the roof and a rodent issue within the building can be assessed through a single survey rather than needing two separate contractors.
Get a Free Bird Control Survey in Coundon
If you have a pigeon problem, a gull colony, or any bird control issue at a Birmingham property, our team will organise a free site survey at a time that is convenient for you.
