Home Bird Control in Newham
Feral pigeons and other nuisance birds can cause significant damage to your property and spread diseases in Newham. Because many birds and their nests are protected by UK law, it is crucial to handle infestations ethically and legally.

Rather than focusing solely on nest removal (which is often restricted), our expert technicians assess your property and install highly effective bird deterrents and proofing solutions. This ensures your home or business remains free from roosting birds and the mess they create.

Bird Control Treatment
Bird Spikes
Installed along ledges, gutters, and roof edges, they make it physically impossible for pigeons and seagulls to land or roost, forcing them to move elsewhere without causing them harm.
Bird Netting
Ideal for protecting large areas, such as courtyards, balconies, or building facades. It provides an impenetrable physical barrier that prevents birds from accessing areas where they might roost.
Optical Fire Gel
This specialized gel acts as a visual and olfactory deterrent. To birds, the gel appears as fire due to UV light reflection, and it emits an odour they find unpleasant.
Advice on Dealing with Bird Control
Identify the type of bird
In the UK, all wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is vital to identify whether you are dealing with common pests like feral pigeons or protected species.
Check for nests
Inspect your roof, gutters, and chimneys for signs of nesting activity. If a nest contains eggs or live young, it cannot be legally removed until the young have fledged.
Remove food and water sources
Ensure bins are securely sealed, avoid leaving pet food outside, and consider temporarily removing bird feeders and baths to discourage pest species.
What They Can Do to Your Property
Bird Nests & Parasites
Nests built in or on your property can harbor secondary pests such as bird mites, fleas, and ticks, which can eventually find their way inside your home.
Bird Debris & Fouling
Pigeon guano (droppings) is highly acidic and can corrode metal, stonework, and paint. Accumulated debris from nests can also block gutters and drains.
Property Damage
Birds can dislodge loose roof tiles to build their nests, widen existing cracks, and damage solar panels by nesting underneath them.
