Professional Pest Bird Control Covering Yew Tree and Surrounding Areas
Pest Solutions’ specialist bird control Birmingham team safeguards both people and property from the persistent threat of feral pigeons, gulls, and various other pest birds across Yew Tree and its surrounding areas.
Wherever they settle, they bring mess, racket, and damage to structures with them. Pest Solutions delivers bird control throughout Yew Tree for property owners, landlords, facility managers, and businesses alike, whether it is a solitary roost above a shop front or a colony sprawling across an entire commercial estate.
Our pest control technicians hold BPCA accreditation, work in accordance with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards, and have delivered bird proofing solutions throughout the Midlands since 2001. We carry out a thorough survey of the building prior to making any recommendations, provide a written proposal with a fixed price, and respond promptly whenever a bird problem becomes urgent during the spring nesting season.
Contact us by ringing us on 0121 285 4140, or send a request form submission 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.

Establishing the species comes first, as it determines which deterrent we use and whether a Natural England licence is needed before any work can start.
We address bird problems across Yew Tree throughout the year, covering both domestic and commercial premises, and every single survey kicks off by pinpointing precisely what you are up against!
Feral pigeons in Yew Tree
Feral pigeons trace their lineage directly to 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 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 tend to gather most intensely in locations where food sources and shelter exist in close proximity, which is precisely why takeaways, food retail premises, and the older terraced shopping parades found throughout the inner suburbs experience the greatest demand for pigeon control services.
Urban pigeons do not receive 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 cost-effective solution as well.
Gulls and seagulls on Yew Tree rooftops
Situated well away the coastline, Yew Tree still sustains a well-established gull population concentrated across the bigger flat rooftops in the northern and eastern areas. Herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have started nesting on industrial units and distribution sheds, where the broad, level rooftops act 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 consistent annual basis.
Once a pair of seagulls has successfully nested on a roof, they will come back each year and attract others, meaning a single building can accommodate several breeding pairs within just a few seasons. Both species are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which means that removing an active nest or eggs without first obtaining a Natural England licence is unlawful.
We guide 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 find their way into roof voids by exploiting loose tiles and exposed eaves across Yew Tree, and the resulting noise alongside the fouling beneath entrance canopies quickly becomes a ongoing nuisance that keeps the telephone ringing with a relentless stream of complaints.
Both house sparrows use the very same gaps too! Since each of these birds has full legal protection whilst nesting, we confirm the species during the survey and shape the entire programme around the protection that each one holds.
Our Professional Bird Control Services in Yew Tree
Our pest control technicians apply a variety of bird control solutions depending on the species involved, the type of building, and the general scale of the issue!
After a comprehensive survey we identify exactly the right mix of deterrents, because pigeons nesting beneath a domestic solar array call for a quite different solution than gulls causing havoc on a hospitality client’s chimney stacks!
The objective is to deliver humane and efficient bird control by minimising bird activity, excluding birds from the structure, and clearing established nests under the appropriate licence where permitted by law.
Bird netting
Bird netting seals a space completely shut, and it is absolutely the solution we turn to 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 works brilliantly for every open structure requiring sealing rather than just a single ledge being protected, and once fitted correctly it helps keep birds out for years with completely no further effort needed!
Pigeon netting and gull grade netting are manufactured to varied mesh specifications, and netting fitted at an incorrect gauge will allow birds to pass back through the gaps almost immediately. For this reason, our technicians meticulously 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 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 eliminating the perching opportunity without causing any harm to the bird, whilst remaining sufficiently discreet to suit the majority of commercial frontages.
Bird wire creates a fine, tensioned line between small posts so the surface becomes an unstable place to land! The spacing can be set wider apart for pigeons or closer for gulls, and because the wire sits below the sightline from street level, it is often the better choice on listed and decorative elevations where a visible spike strip plainly would not be acceptable.
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 see as a threat, causing them to avoid landing there.
Optical and audible deterrents certainly have a valuable role to play on open sites, and we include them as part of a broader, 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 bird control service employs experienced hawks to disturb well-established roosting behaviours across open ground. When a hawk is flown on a regular and consistent schedule, it successfully unsettles pigeons and gulls, encouraging them to vacate a site gradually over the course of a season. This approach is especially well suited to retail parks, distribution centres, and expansive rooftops where installing netting across the entire structure would not be practical.
The handler logs each attendance, giving the client documented proof of the programme for compliance purposes.
Solar panel bird proofing
Solar panels have become an ever more common source of pigeon-related issues on Yew Tree rooftops. The gap that is present 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.
We install 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 Yew Tree Businesses
For commercial clients, bird control is equally about meeting regulations as it is about managing the birds themselves. We provide services across hospitality, food retail, healthcare, education, and logistics throughout Yew Tree, where every setting presents its own distinct bird pressure alongside a unique collection of regulations that any programme must fully satisfy.
For businesses in the food sector, pest bird activity close to the premises poses a direct health and safety risk, and pigeons or seagulls discovered during an environmental health inspection can lead to enforcement action under food hygiene regulations.
Our commercial pest control service produces fully documented bird control programmes, along with logs of inspections and treatment records, which businesses depend on for RSPH and third-party audit certification.
For clients managing more extensive sites or several premises across the Midlands, we operate 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 provide.
