Our Approach to Bird Control
We begin with a detailed walk‑through of your home, checking rooflines, gutters, vents, eaves, and other nesting spots. We identify perching areas, active nests, and potential entry points.
We use non-lethal methods tailored to your property: bird spikes, netting, or anti-roost systems. These solutions prevent birds from landing, nesting, or entering vulnerable areas.
We advise on removing or securing attractants — like food sources, open bins, or debris — to make your property less appealing to nuisance birds.
After nests or roosts are removed, we clean droppings, feathers, and nesting materials, sanitizing affected areas to eliminate health risks.
We follow up with repeat checks and maintenance to ensure bird activity remains low. Preventing re-nesting is a key part of our service.
