Why it matters

Why birds cause problems

Birds nesting in the wrong place cause mess, damage and noise.

Roof spaces

Birds get into roofs through gaps in eaves and tiles.

Under solar panels

Pigeons nest under panels, leaving droppings and debris.

Blocked gutters

Nesting material can block gutters and downpipes.

Mites and mess

Nests can bring bird mites, and droppings are hard to clean.

What’s included

What bird control involves

We look at where birds are getting in or roosting, then recommend the right proofing for the building. We install bird spikes, netting, solar panel mesh and gutter guard, and use bird baiting for pest birds where it’s needed.

Bird control options

Five ways we deal with problem birds

Every building is different. Here are the options we use, and where each one works best.

Option 1

Bird spikes

Spikes stop birds landing and roosting where they make a mess. The birds aren’t harmed, they just can’t settle, so they move on.

  • Fitted along ledges, beams, ridges and gutters
  • Ideal for signs, awnings and shopfronts
  • Low maintenance once installed
Best for: Ledges, beams & signage

Option 2

Bird netting

Netting closes off an area completely, so birds can’t get in to nest or roost. It’s fitted tight so there are no gaps for birds to get behind.

  • Eaves, awnings, balconies and courtyards
  • Warehouses, loading docks and carports
  • Blends into the building once installed
Best for: Larger areas & businesses

Option 3

Solar panel mesh

Pigeons love nesting under solar panels, leaving droppings, noise and nesting material. Mesh around the edges keeps them out for good.

  • Fitted around the edges of the panel array
  • Stops nesting, droppings and debris build-up
  • Keeps panels and the roof underneath clean
Best for: Homes with solar

Option 4

Gutter guard

Gutter guard keeps birds, leaves and pests out of gutters and roof edges, so there’s nowhere to build a nest and nothing to block your downpipes.

  • Stops birds nesting in gutters and roof edges
  • Keeps leaves out and water flowing
  • Helps keep rodents and pests off the roof
Best for: Roofs & guttersMore about gutter guard →

Option 5

Bird baiting

Where proofing alone isn’t enough, we can use baiting for introduced pest birds like feral pigeons and Indian mynas. It’s carried out by licensed technicians using approved products.

  • Only for introduced pest birds
  • Native birds are protected and never targeted
  • Often used alongside proofing for long-term results
Best for: Ongoing pest bird problems
