Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Town Centre and Surrounding Areas
The Pest Solutions specialist bird control Birmingham team safeguards both people and property from feral pigeons, gulls, and a variety of other pest bird species throughout Town Centre and its nearby areas.
Wherever they choose to settle, birds cause fouling, noise, and structural damage as unwelcome consequences. Pest Solutions delivers comprehensive bird control services throughout Town Centre, helping 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 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 job begins with a thorough survey of your building before any recommendation is made, after which you will receive a written plan accompanied by a fixed price. When a bird problem becomes urgent during the spring nesting season, you can rely on us to respond quickly.
Get in touch by calling us on 0121 285 4140, or send a request form for a free site survey via 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.

Pinpointing the species comes first, because it determines which deterrent we use and whether a Natural England licence is needed before any work can start.
We address bird-related issues throughout Town Centre year-round, covering both residential and commercial properties, and every assessment begins by establishing precisely which species you are dealing with.
Feral pigeons in Town Centre
Feral pigeons trace their lineage to 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, returning to the same spot year after year, allowing the colony to increase gradually until the building owner takes action.
Pigeon issues cluster where food and shelter exist in close proximity, which is why takeaways, food retailers, and older terraced shopping parades across the inner suburbs need the most intensive pigeon control work.
Feral pigeons do not benefit from the equivalent protections afforded to wild birds, yet humane proofing remains the most ethical course of action and, in the longer term, proves to be the most economically sound choice as well.
Gulls and seagulls on Town Centre rooftops
Town Centre sits far inland yet still supports a steady gull population across the larger 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 manage this work throughout the breeding season each year.
Once a pair of seagulls successfully nests on a roof, they come back every single year and others do the same, 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 taking away an active nest or eggs without a Natural England licence is plainly not lawful.
We clarify what can move forward at once and what calls for a licence application accompanied with documented health or safety justification.
Starlings and other nesting birds
Starlings take advantage of loose tiles and open eaves to access roof voids in Town Centre, and the resulting disturbance and fouling beneath entrance canopies quickly becomes a considerable nuisance that prompts a consistent volume of calls.
House sparrows use the very same entry points. Both species have 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 Town Centre
Our pest control technicians carry out varied bird control methods depending on the species, the structure, and the extent of the infestation.
Every bird control challenge is unique, 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 kind, efficient bird control: decrease bird activity, keep birds from the structure, and remove established nests under licence where legislation permits.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a given space in its entirety, 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 frequently encountered on commercial buildings.
It works on any open structure requiring sealing rather than a sole ledge protecting, and once correctly put in place it keeps birds out for many years without further maintenance.
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are made to varied mesh specifications, and netting fitted at an incorrect gauge will allow birds to get back through the gaps almost immediately. For this reason, our technicians carefully determine the appropriate mesh size, fixings, and cable supports based on both the structure and the specific species involved.
Bird spikes and bird wire
Bird spikes represent the most reliable solution for discouraging pigeons and seagulls from settling upon narrow surfaces including ledges, sills, parapet walls, and signage. A stainless steel spike strip fitted across a flat ledge removes 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 establishes 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 configured 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 suitable solution on listed and decorative elevations where a visually prominent spike strip would simply not be acceptable.
Bird-free gel and visual deterrents
Bird-free gel is positioned in compact cups along a ledge where spikes or wire cannot be fitted, and it creates an optical effect that birds see as a threat, causing them to steer clear of landing there.
Optical and sound-based deterrents absolutely have their role to play on exposed sites as well, and we deploy them as part of a broader programme rather than as a singular solution, because they really perform at their best when combined physical proofing measures.
Falconry response
Our bird of prey service uses trained hawks to interrupt well-established roosting behaviours across open areas. When a hawk is flown on a regular and consistent schedule, it disturbs pigeons and gulls, slowly encouraging them to vacate a site throughout a full season, making it a especially well-suited solution for retail parks, distribution centres, and expansive rooftops where netting the entire structure simply would not be practical.
The handler logs every visit, so that the client has written proof of the programme for compliance purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Pigeons are more and more choosing Town Centre rooftops as their preferred hideaway, and solar panels are very much to blame! The gap sitting between the panels and the tiles creates a perfectly snug , year-round refuge for these birds. Once they move in and start nesting, the resulting guano blocks gutters, causes serious 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 penetrating the panels or affecting their output, and we remove any existing birds and nests before the proofing is installed!
Commercial Bird Control for Town Centre Businesses
For commercial clients, bird control is just as much about regulatory compliance as it is about controlling the birds themselves. We provide services across hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Town Centre, where every setting presents its own distinct bird pressure alongside a unique set of regulations that any programme must fully meet.
For businesses in the food sector, pest bird activity close to the premises presents a direct health and safety hazard, and pigeons or seagulls found during an environmental health inspection can prompt enforcement action 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 more extensive sites and clients operating across multiple premises in the Midlands, we deliver a planned programme of scheduled visits with photographic reporting and an urgent response option when fresh activity emerges between inspections. Our pest bird control and gull control pages detail the full scope of the work.
