Expert Bird Control & Pigeon Proofing
Across Blackburn & Lancashire
Humane, legally compliant bird netting, solar panel protection & guano removal. Backed by 155+ years of combined experience.

Allowing birds to roost or nest unchecked can lead to several long-term issues. Bird droppings, or guano, are highly acidic and can erode stonework, damage car paintwork, and cause permanent staining on building facades. Furthermore, nests often block gutters and drainage systems, leading to water damage and dampness within the property.Health and safety is another primary concern. Pigeons and gulls are known to carry diseases such as Salmonellosis and Ornithosis, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with droppings or nesting materials. In commercial settings, particularly within the food industry, a bird infestation can lead to failed health inspections and legal complications. Our bird management strategies focus on removing these risks and restoring a clean, safe environment for your staff or family.

At Pest Medic, we follow a clinical and systematic approach to bird control. Our process begins with a comprehensive site survey to identify the specific species involved and the extent of the problem. We don't just treat the symptoms; we address the root cause of the infestation to ensure long-term protection.Site Survey & Identification: We assess the entry points and roosting spots used by the birds.Bespoke Deterrents: We install professional-grade bird spikes, spring-wire systems, or bird netting to prevent birds from landing.Humane Methods: All our practices are environmentally conscious and adhere to strict ethical guidelines.Aftercare & Proofing: We provide advice and secondary measures to ensure birds do not return to the area.By using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, we ensure that our solutions are as non-intrusive as possible while remaining highly effective. From Blackburn town centre to the surrounding villages, we provide a service that you can rely on to get it right the first time.

The increase in solar panel installations across Lancashire has led to a rise in pigeons nesting underneath them. The gap between the panels and the roof provides a warm, sheltered environment that is ideal for birds but detrimental to your energy system. Nesting materials can damage wiring, and the accumulation of guano on the panels significantly reduces their efficiency.We specialise in solar panel bird proofing, using specialised mesh and clips that do not void your warranty. This prevents birds from accessing the underside of the panels without causing any harm to the birds or the equipment. If you have noticed increased bird activity on your roof, contact us on 01254 963737 to discuss our dedicated solar panel protection services.

In the UK, all wild birds are protected by law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This means that it is often illegal to remove nests or eggs while they are in use, except under specific licences and conditions. Navigating these regulations requires professional expertise to ensure you stay on the right side of the law.Pest Medic operates with total transparency and legal compliance. Our technicians are fully trained in the latest legislation and only carry out removals or deterrent installations where legally permitted. We prioritise humane trapping and relocation where necessary and always focus on preventative measures that discourage birds from nesting in the first place. This legal assurance provides peace of mind for our commercial clients in Blackburn who must maintain strict compliance with Environmental Health standards.
