Why it matters

Why bird nests need to go

A few birds under the eaves soon turns into a nest, then a colony, and a growing pile of mess on your roof.

Blocked gutters and valleys

Nest material and droppings block water flow, so rain can back up into the roof.

Droppings and smell

Droppings build up fast, stain roofs and smell, especially near doors, vents and outdoor areas.

Bird mites

Mites live in nests and can move indoors looking for a new host once birds leave.

Fire and damage risk

Dry nest material packed around lights, wiring and rooftop plant is a hazard.

What’s included

What bird nest removal involves

Removing the nest is only half the job. We clean up after the birds and close off the spot so they don’t come straight back.

Where we find them

Common nesting spots in Highlands buildings

Under roof tiles

Birds squeeze in through gaps at the gutter line and nest under the tiles.

Bird nest and insulation pulled into an open eave behind the gutter and downpipe of a house

Eaves and gutters

Damaged eaves and gutters are easy nesting spots, and nests block water flow.

Pigeon nest material, droppings and feathers packed around air conditioning pipes on a roof

Rooftop plant and pipes

Common on commercial roofs, around pipes, AC units and under solar panels.

Which birds

Pest birds and native birds are treated differently

Pest birds

Nests removed and the area proofed

Introduced birds that cause most of the nesting problems on Highlands homes and businesses:

  • Feral pigeons
  • Indian (common) mynas
  • Common starlings
  • House sparrows
Native birds

Protected, so we work around them

Most native birds are protected in NSW, so active nests can’t simply be removed. We’ll identify the bird, tell you what your options are, and proof the area once the nest is no longer in use so they don’t return next season.

Stop them coming back

Proofing after the nests are gone

If the gap is still open, birds will be back. Once the nest is out and the area is clean, we close it off with the right proofing for the spot.

Eave and fascia repairs

Birds damaged the eave? We can fix that too

Birds often get in through broken eave linings and rotted fascias, and their nests make the damage worse by holding water against the timber. As well as removing the nest, we can repair damaged eaves and fascias so the gap is properly closed.
