Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Hollywood and Surrounding Areas
The Pest Solutions professional bird control Birmingham team keeps safe both people and property from feral pigeons, gulls, and other pest birds throughout Hollywood and its nearby areas.
Regardless of where they roost, birds consistently leave behind mess, disruptive noise, and damage to structures. Pest Solutions provides bird control services across Hollywood for householders, landlords, facilities managers, and businesses alike, whether the problem involves a single roost above a shop front or a colony spread across an entire commercial estate.
Our pest control technicians have BPCA accreditation, work in accordance with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards, and have been delivering bird proofing solutions across the Midlands since 2001. Every engagement begins with a thorough survey of your building before any recommendation is made, followed by a written plan accompanied by a fixed price, ensuring complete transparency from the outset. When bird problems become urgent, particularly during the spring nesting season, our team responds promptly and with the expertise the situation demands.

Identifying the species comes first because it determines which deterrent we use and whether a Natural England licence is required before work can begin.
Every bird-related issue across Hollywood is something we address throughout the entire year, covering residential and commercial properties alike, and each survey commences by determining precisely which species and situation you are facing.
Feral pigeons in Hollywood
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 across the area.
Pigeons habitually 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 grows steadily until the building owner takes action.
Pigeon issues cluster where food and shelter are available in close proximity, which is why takeaways, food retailers, and older terraced shopping parades across the inner suburbs demand the most intensive pigeon control work.
Whilst feral pigeons do not benefit from the equivalent level of protection afforded to wild birds, humane proofing methods remain the most responsible course of action and, over time, they also prove to be the most cost-effective solution.
Gulls and seagulls on Hollywood rooftops
Even this far inland, Hollywood is home to a thriving gull population that congregates on the bigger flat roofs to the north and east. Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls make their nests on industrial units and distribution sheds, where the rooftops serve as a convincing substitute for the sea cliffs these birds would naturally prefer, and managing them throughout the breeding season is something we deal with year after year!
Once a pair of seagulls successfully nests on a roof, they return every single year and others follow their lead, meaning one rooftop can host several breeding pairs within just a few seasons! Both species are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, so removing an active nest or eggs without a Natural England licence is simply not lawful.
We offer guidance on what can be actioned immediately and what requires a formal licence application supported by documented health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings find their way into roof voids by exploiting dislodged tiles and exposed eaves across Hollywood, and the subsequent noise combined with the fouling beneath entrance canopies rapidly becomes a ongoing nuisance that keeps the telephone ringing with a constant stream of complaints.
House sparrows use the same entry points. Both species carry legal protection during nesting, so we note them in the survey and shape the programme around their specific requirements.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Hollywood
Our pest control technicians implement a selection of bird control methods based on the species present, the type of building, and the severity of the infestation.
Every bird control challenge is different, and just as a pigeon problem beneath a residential solar panel installation calls for an completely different approach than gulls congregating on the chimney stacks of a hospitality venue, we thoroughly identify and specify the most appropriate combination of deterrent solutions following a thorough survey.
The goal is to provide humane and efficient bird management: reducing bird activity, preventing access to the structure, and removing existing nests under the relevant licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space entirely, and it is the option we turn to 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 perfectly suited to any open structure that requires sealing rather than a single ledge offering 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 distinctly different mesh specifications. A net installed at an incorrect gauge will allow birds to pass back through the openings almost immediately, which is why our technicians carefully 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 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 brilliantly!
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 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 positioned in small cups along a ledge where spikes or wire cannot be fitted, and it produces an optical effect that birds perceive as a threat, causing them to steer clear of landing there.
Visual and audible deterrents serve a purpose on open sites too, and we deploy them as part of a wider programme rather than a standalone solution, because they perform best when combined with physical proofing.
Falconry response
Our falconry service deploys trained hawks to interfere with the established roosting habits of pest birds across 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 every visit, giving the client complete documented proof of the programme for regulatory compliance purposes!
Solar panel bird proofing
Solar panels have become an ever more common source of pigeon-related issues on Hollywood rooftops. The gap that exists beneath the panel and above the tiles offers pigeons a sheltered haven in every season, and when birds choose to nest within that space, the accumulating guano blocks gutters, causes damage to the roof structure, and steadily degrades the performance 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 Hollywood Businesses
For commercial clients, bird control is every bit 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 birds in the vicinity of their premises poses a direct 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 produces fully documented bird control programmes, complete inspection logs and treatment records, which businesses rely upon for RSPH and third-party audit certification.
For clients operating across multiple locations throughout the Midlands, we deliver a structured programme of scheduled site visits, with photographic reporting and an emergency response provision for any fresh activity that arises between inspections. Our dedicated pest bird control and gull control pages outline the full extent of the services we provide.
