Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Priorslee 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 across Priorslee and its surrounding areas.
Wherever they roost, they leave behind a mess, disturbance, and lasting damage to the structures they occupy. Pest Solutions delivers expert bird control throughout Priorslee, serving homeowners, landlords, facilities managers, and businesses alike, whether the challenge is one solitary roost above a shop front or an entire colony sprawling across a commercial estate.
Our pest control technicians have BPCA accreditation, follow ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 standards, and have been offering bird proofing solutions across the Midlands since 2001. We assess your building carefully before giving any recommendations, provide a written plan with a fixed price, and respond quickly when a bird problem becomes urgent during the busy spring nesting season!
Reach us by dialling 0121 285 4140, or submit a request for a free 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 precise species comes first, because it determines which deterrent we use and whether a Natural England licence is needed before any works can commence.
We resolve bird issues across Priorslee year round, across domestic and commercial properties, and every survey begins by establishing precisely what you are facing.
Feral pigeons in Priorslee
Feral pigeons originate from the rock dove, a species that belongs to the pigeon family Columbidae, and they make up the vast majority of bird control requests received in the area.
They roost on ledges, window sills, balcony recesses, railway viaducts, and the bottom of canopies, and a pair will come back to that very same ledge year after year, meaning the colony just continues to grow until the building owner eventually takes action!
Pigeons congregate 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 older terraced shopping parades scattered across the inner suburbs typically require 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 Priorslee rooftops
Priorslee sits well inland yet still hosts a consistent gull population across the extensive flat roofs to the north and east. Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls nest on industrial units and distribution sheds where rooftops replicate the sea cliffs these birds would naturally occupy, and we carry out this work during the breeding season each year.
Once seagulls nest successfully on a roof, they come back each year and attract others, meaning a single unit can host several breeding pairs within just a few seasons. Both species are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, making it unlawful to remove a live nest or eggs without a Natural England licence.
We advise you on which improvements can be carried out immediately and which require a formal licence application supported by documented health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings exploit loose tiles and open eaves to access roof voids in Priorslee, and the resulting disturbance and fouling beneath entrance canopies quickly becomes a significant nuisance that prompts a steady volume of calls.
House sparrows use the very same entry points. Both species carry full legal protection throughout the nesting period, so our survey work identifies each one present and structures the entire programme around the safeguards that protection demands.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Priorslee
Our pest control technicians apply a variety of bird management solutions tailored to the species involved, the nature of the building, and the overall extent of the infestation.
We specify the right mix of deterrents following the survey, because pigeons under a domestic solar array demand a different solution to gulls on a hospitality client’s chimney stacks.
The goal is humane and successful bird management: lowering bird activity, preventing access to the building, and clearing existing nests under licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space completely shut, and it is definitely the solution we use for large scale exclusion work! Think roof voids, loading bays, internal courtyards, canopy undersides and the recessed facades so commonly found on commercial buildings.
It is appropriate to any open structure that requires sealing rather than a single ledge providing protection, and when fitted properly it will prevent birds from entering for years to come without any further maintenance needed.
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are made with different 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 closely specify the mesh, the fixings and the cable supports based on the structure and the species involved.
Bird spikes and bird wire
Bird spikes represent the most universally trusted solution for preventing pigeons and seagulls from perching on narrow surfaces including ledges, sills, parapet walls, and signage. A stainless steel spike strip laid across a flat ledge takes away the perching opportunity entirely without causing harm to the bird whatsoever, and the system remains subtle enough to suit the vast majority of commercial frontages.
Bird wire forms a fine, tensioned line between small posts, leaving the surface an unreliable and unsteady place for birds to land. The spacing between posts can be set more widely for pigeons or set closer together for gulls, and because the wire itself sits beneath the sightline when viewed from street level, it commonly represents the more appropriate solution on listed and decorative elevations where a visually prominent spike strip would readily not be acceptable.
Bird-free gel and visual deterrents
Bird free gel sits in small cups placed along ledges where spikes or wire easily cannot be fitted, operating through a clever optical effect that birds instantly interpret as a hazard, stopping them from landing altogether!
Optical and audible deterrents certainly have a useful role to play on open sites, and we include them as part of a wider, more comprehensive programme rather than depending on them as a sole solution, given that they perform most effectively when used in conjunction with physical proofing measures.
Falconry response
Our falconry service employs trained hawks to disturb well-established roosting behaviours across wide ground. When a hawk is flown on a regular and consistent schedule, it successfully unsettles pigeons and gulls, prompting them to vacate a site progressively over the course of a season. This approach is particularly well suited to retail parks, distribution centres, and expansive rooftops where installing netting across the entire structure would simply not be practical.
The handler records each and every visit, so that the client has documented proof of the programme for compliance purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Pigeons are increasingly targeting Priorslee rooftops due to solar panel installations. The gap between panels and tiles provides constant shelter, and nesting birds produce guano that clogs gutters, deteriorates the roof surface, and reduces panel performance.
We fit a mesh and clip system around the perimeter that seals the gap without damaging the panels or reducing their output, and we clear any existing birds and nests before the proofing is installed!
Commercial Bird Control for Priorslee Businesses
For commercial clients, bird control is equally about regulatory compliance as it is about managing the birds themselves. We offer services across hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Priorslee, where every setting brings its own distinct bird pressure alongside a unique collection of regulations that any programme must fully satisfy.
Pest bird activity in the vicinity of food business premises presents a clear and substantial 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 business pest control service produces documented bird control measures, including inspection logs and treatment records, which organisations rely on for RSPH and third-party audit certification.
For business clients overseeing several sites across the Midlands, we deliver a planned programme of routine scheduled visits with photographic reporting, together with a dedicated emergency response for any fresh activity that appears between inspections. Every detail of what this entails is set out across our pest bird control and gull control pages.
