Bird Control Sydney
Pest Birds are notorious for causing real problems for businesses & commercial property owners.
One sighting usually means many more hidden
Pest birds don't just visit — they move in. Once pigeons, gulls or mynas decide your roof, eaves or solar panels make a good roost, they return every day, bring the rest of the flock, and leave a mess that gets worse by the week.
Bird proofing is about making your building permanently unattractive to them. We install physical barriers — netting, spikes and wire — that block the roosting spots without harming the birds, so the problem ends instead of moving a few metres along the ledge.
More than just a nuisance
Disease & bird mites
Droppings and nests carry bacteria and fungal spores, and abandoned nests send bird mites indoors looking for a new host.
Acidic droppings
Bird droppings eat into paint, metal and stonework — and turn walkways and shopfronts into slip hazards.
Blocked gutters & nests
Nesting material blocks gutters, downpipes and vents, causing overflows — and nests near wiring are a fire risk.
Reputation & compliance
For cafes, restaurants and food businesses, roosting birds and droppings are an audit finding waiting to happen.
Signs you have a problem
- Birds cause multiple issues such as hazards associated with their droppings, spread of diseases and attractant for pests including ticks, rodents and cockroach infestations. Bird droppings are also unsightly and may damage a business’s image or reputation.
- Droppings building up on ledges, paths, signage or parked cars
- The same birds returning to the roof line or solar panels every evening
- Nesting material in gutters, vents or under eaves
What's included
- Site inspection and roosting assessment
- Bird netting, spikes or wire installed to suit the structure
- Humane removal and deterrent placement
- Droppings clean-up advice and prevention recommendations
Types of bird we treat
Different birds roost differently, so the proofing has to match — here's what we handle most across Sydney, and the system we reach for first.
Pigeons
Sydney's number-one pest bird. Pigeons roost on ledges, under eaves and beneath solar panels, and a tolerated pair becomes a flock within months.
How we treat it
Bird spikes and netting on ledges and roosting points, plus solar panel bird protection so they can't nest under the array.
Seagulls
Large, loud and persistent — gulls favour big flat roofs near water and food courts, and they defend a nesting site aggressively.
How we treat it
Bird netting over roof areas and wire systems on parapets — heavy-duty exclusion sized for larger birds.
Mynas & starlings
Aggressive cavity nesters that push into roof voids, vents and gaps behind gutters — and evict native birds while they're at it.
How we treat it
Sealing and screening entry gaps, nest removal, and spikes on the perching spots they use as staging posts.
How we get rid of them
Inspect & assess
We identify the species, map the roosting and nesting points, and check entry routes — the fix depends on the bird and the building.
Proof & exclude
Bird netting, spikes and wire installed to suit the structure — ledges, eaves, signage, plant rooms and solar panels.
Remove & clean
Humane removal of birds and nests, plus practical advice on safely cleaning droppings and sanitising the area.
Maintain & guarantee
We check the installation holds and the birds haven't shifted to a new spot — proofing is guaranteed to keep them off.
Why Sydney chooses us
Fast callouts
Same-day and next-day appointments across Greater Sydney — before the roost becomes a colony.

Exclusion and deterrence, not harm — our proofing blocks the roost and the birds simply move on.

Marine-grade netting, stainless spikes and UV-stable fixings — installs that survive Sydney weather.
Keep them from coming back
Simple habits that make your place far less inviting between treatments.
- Keep bins sealed and outdoor food areas clean — easy meals invite the flock back
- Don't feed birds near the building, and ask neighbours to do the same
- Screen roof vents, eaves and wall cavities before nesting season
- Trim branches that overhang the roof line
- Act on the first signs of roosting — early proofing is far cheaper than a colony
- Skirt solar panels so pigeons can't nest underneath them
Your questions, answered
How do you get rid of pest birds in your area?
The most effective bird removal and pest control method is to address the reasons why pest birds are attracted to the area in the first place, such as food sources or bird nesting sites. Physical barriers and bird proofing, such as bird nets and spikes, as well as sound and visual deterrents, can also be used to discourage birds from staying in the area. Contacting our professional bird control service can provide specific pest control recommendations and solutions tailored to your situation.
How long do bird control and bird removal measures last?
The effectiveness of bird control and bird removal measures can vary depending on the specific method and location. Some bird control methods, such as bird netting and spikes, can last several years with proper maintenance. Visual and sound deterrents may need to be replaced or moved periodically to remain effective. Consult our professional bird control service for specific recommendations and ongoing maintenance needs. If you need assistance with bird removal or pest control in Sydney, get in touch with our team of experts today. We will implement effective pest control and bird removal methods to give you peace of mind.
How much does bird control cost in Sydney?
Bird control and proofing starts from $200, depending on the size of the roosting area and the access involved. Every job starts with an inspection and a firm written quote — netting a warehouse roof and spiking a shopfront ledge are very different jobs, so we price what your building actually needs.
Is bird proofing harmful to the birds?
No — our approach is exclusion, not harm. Netting, spikes and wire simply make the roosting spots unusable, so the birds move on to natural habitat. It's humane, legal, and it's also the only approach that works long-term: remove one bird and another takes its ledge, but proof the ledge and the problem is gone.
Can you bird-proof solar panels?
Yes — pigeons nesting under solar panels is one of our most common callouts. We fit purpose-made mesh skirting around the array that keeps birds and possums out without touching the panels, voiding warranties or blocking airflow.
