Pest bird removal West Midlands

False alarms and the required disabling of overhead fire beams because of wild birds, usually pigeons, is a real threat to the safety of both personnel and property.

Feral pigeons are notoriously loyal to their nesting sites. They have a natural, built-in homing instinct that means they will often spend their lives in one place and continue to return there. It is important to know that simply removing or destroying a pigeon’s nest won’t necessarily solve the problem. The pests are resilient; they will breed and lay eggs on many different surfaces three or four times a year.

We use a number of different methods to tackle the problem of pigeons and other birds. These include the removal of nests and a range of preventative measures including pigeon netting, which can be fitted to your exact specification. It is an effective way of discouraging pigeons from choosing your commercial building as their new home.

If all preventative measures have failed or are simply not possible to implement and it can be shown that the presence of pigeons (or other wild birds as listed below) is causing a danger to public health or public safety (by rendering the fire alarm inactive) then lethal methods of removal are legally allowed.
