Are unwanted birds damaging your home or business? Pest birds might seem harmless, but they can cause significant damage to residential and commercial properties across Australia. As the leading pest management experts, we understand the unique challenges property owners face with pest birds. From pigeons nesting under solar panels to birds creating health hazards with their droppings, the problems extend far beyond mere nuisance.

Bird problems can lead to costly structural damage, health risks, and negative impressions on clients and visitors. Prevention is always more cost-effective than addressing an established bird problem, which is why professional bird control and bird proofing solutions are essential for protecting your property and ensuring a safe, hygienic environment.

Common Pest Birds and the Problems They Cause

The following are bird species that commonly become pests in urban and suburban environments across Australia:

  • Feral Pigeons – the most common pest birds in cities, particularly problematic for commercial buildings, residential and commercial solar panel installations
  • Mynas – aggressive invasive species that displace native birds and nest in roof cavities
  • Seagulls -often problematic in coastal areas, causing noise disturbances and damage to rooftops
  • Starlings – these birds gather in large flocks and can damage structures with their nesting materials
  • Sparrows – small but problematic birds that build nests in small cavities and gaps in buildings

Health Hazards and Property Damage from Bird Infestations

  • Disease Transmission Risk – Bird droppings carry over 60 transmittable diseases and ectoparasites, posing serious health risks to families, employees, customers and families.
  • Structural Deterioration – The acidic nature of bird droppings corrodes building materials, metal structures, and equipment over time
  • Fire Hazards – Nesting materials can block ventilation systems and create fire risks when built near electrical equipment
  • Slip and Fall Liability – Droppings create hazardous walking surfaces, increasing liability concerns for business owners
  • Blocked Drainage Systems – Bird nests frequently clog gutters and drains, leading to water damage and expensive repairs
  • Solar Panel Efficiency Loss – Birds nesting under solar panels significantly reduce energy output and damage expensive systems
