Birds roosting or nesting around your property can cause real damage and health risks. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney offers practical bird control solutions tailored to residential and commercial properties across Sydney.
Pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and other birds can damage buildings, block gutters, and create unsanitary conditions. Their droppings carry bacteria and fungi that pose health risks, while nesting activity in roof cavities and eaves can compromise building structures over time. For food businesses and restaurants, bird presence near preparation or storage areas carries additional compliance and hygiene concerns.
Bird Control Overview
Bird control is about preventing birds from accessing areas where they cause damage, create mess, or pose health risks. The approach depends on the bird species, the property's architecture, and whether the problem is ongoing or a new infestation. Most control work focuses on exclusion: making the property inhospitable to roosting and nesting so birds move on without returning.
Look for droppings accumulating on ledges, window sills, and outdoor furniture. Listen for persistent cooing, chirping, or flapping sounds coming from roof spaces or wall cavities, especially at dawn and dusk.
Our Process
Every bird control job starts with understanding the species and the property. The right approach depends on what birds are present, where they are roosting, and what the building allows in terms of installation.
The technician inspects the property to identify which areas birds are accessing, where they are roosting or nesting, and which species are involved. This inspection informs the method selection and helps scope the work accurately.
Based on the inspection, the appropriate control methods are chosen. Options include bird netting, bird wire, spike systems, visual or audible deterrents, or a combination. The selection accounts for the species, the property type, and any relevant legal requirements.
The selected control measures are installed or applied to the identified problem areas. The technician ensures the work is carried out safely, with attention to access requirements and any constraints posed by the building structure.
After the work is complete, the technician advises on what to monitor and what maintenance may be needed. If birds return, follow-up assessment can identify whether additional measures or adjustments are needed.
Several control methods are available, and the right choice depends on the species, the site, and the property. Common approaches include physical barriers, deterrent systems, and targeted exclusion work.
Netting and bird wire are installed across open areas such as courtyards, under eaves, and between structural elements to prevent birds from reaching roosting or nesting sites. Netting is suitable for larger enclosed areas, while wire systems work well along ledges and perching points.
Bird spike systems are fitted to ledges, window sills, and other flat surfaces where birds typically land. These systems make the surface unsuitable for perching without harming the birds. Visual deterrents and audible devices may also be used depending on the site and species.
Active nests and nesting material are removed from gutters, eaves, roof cavities, and other problem areas. Exclusion work seals entry points to prevent birds from re-entering previously occupied spaces.
Birds cause property damage and health risks in several ways. Understanding the specific problems helps property owners recognise when control work is needed.
A bird control service from 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney typically covers the identification of problem areas, the installation of appropriate control measures, and advice on monitoring and maintenance. The exact scope depends on the property and the inspection findings.
Professional bird control addresses the problem at the source rather than managing symptoms. The right approach reduces ongoing damage and maintenance costs while improving the habitability of the property.
Exclusion measures stop birds from reaching surfaces where their droppings cause corrosion and staining. Gutters and drainage systems remain clear, reducing water damage risk and the cost of repeated cleaning and repairs.
Removing nests and preventing re-entry reduces the accumulation of droppings, feathers, and nesting material. This lowers health risks from pathogens and improves conditions in outdoor and internal areas.
Properly installed exclusion measures are designed to last, reducing the need for repeated treatments. Deterrents and barriers work continuously rather than requiring regular re-application.

Most native bird species in Australia are protected under state and federal legislation. This means control work must focus on exclusion and prevention rather than harming protected species. Introduced species such as feral pigeons, house sparrows, and common starlings are generally not protected, but the specific legal requirements depend on the species and the situation.
The lifespan of control measures depends on the method installed, the species involved, and the conditions at the property. Netting and wire systems are designed to be durable, while spike systems and deterrents also provide ongoing protection. The technician can advise on what to expect for the specific installation.
Clear access to the areas where birds are roosting or nesting, including roof spaces, gutters, eaves, and any outdoor structures. Let the technician know where you have observed bird activity, when it is most active, and any concerns about particular areas of the property.
Professional bird control methods used by 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney are designed to deter and exclude birds rather than harm them.
