Birds Nesting at Your Place? Here Is What to Do

In Brisbane, rooftop solar is everywhere and pigeons nest under it. Mynas and starlings get into roofs through gaps under iron and tiles. Acting early keeps the clean-up small.

Do not climb onto the roof or panels yourself

Roofs, solar panels and balconies are a fall risk, and droppings are slippery. Leave the high work to us.

  1. 1

    Stop the food source

    Clear spilt pet food and bird seed, and keep bins closed.

  2. 2

    Note where they land

    Watch where the birds sit, roost and fly in. It tells us what to proof.

  3. 3

    Keep droppings dry

    Do not hose dry droppings into the air. Leave clean-up of heavy build-up to us.

  4. 4

    Take photos

    Photos of the panels, balcony or roof gaps help us price the job.

  5. 5

    Call 07 3544 9883

    Tell us the bird, the spot and the height, and we will arrange a quote.

Sound Familiar? Why People Call About Birds

Bird problems start small and grow every week the birds stay. These are the calls we hear most.

"Pigeons are nesting under our solar panels"

The gap under panels is sheltered and warm. Nests and droppings build up and can block drainage on the roof.

"There is cooing and scratching at dawn"

Pigeons and mynas roosting under panels or in the roof are noisy early in the morning.

"Our balcony is covered in droppings"

Pigeons sit on balcony rails and air conditioners. The droppings are messy and slippery.

"Birds are getting into the roof"

Mynas and starlings nest in roof spaces through gaps under tiles and eaves.

"Customers are walking under droppings"

Shop awnings, signs and entrances need to stay clean for customers and staff.

"The gutters keep overflowing"

Nesting material in gutters and downpipes blocks the water and causes overflows in storms.

Which Bird Is It and What Does It Mean?

Different birds need different proofing. Here are the ones we deal with most.

Which Bird Is It and What Does It Mean?
BirdWhere it causes troubleWhat usually works
Feral pigeonsSolar panels, balconies, ledges, roofsPanel mesh, spikes and netting
Indian (common) mynasRoof gaps, eaves, signsSealing gaps and removing nests
Common starlingsRoof spaces, wall ventsSealing gaps and vent covers
House sparrowsAwnings, warehouses, eavesNetting and gap sealing
Native birdsGardens and treesLeft alone; we can advise on protecting the house
SwallowsUnder eaves and verandasAdvice on timing and deterrents after nesting

Native birds are protected, so we never harm them. Our work blocks access so pest birds such as pigeons and mynas move on. A smell in the roof could be a dead bird or animal: see dead animal removal.

Why Brisbane Has So Many Bird Problems

Brisbane's solar panels, roofs and warm weather all help pest birds.

Solar on almost every roof

Brisbane has some of the highest rooftop solar numbers in Australia, and the space underneath suits pigeons.

Queenslander roofs

Iron roofs and open eaves on Queenslanders and lowsets leave gaps where mynas and starlings get into the roof space.

A long nesting season

Warm weather lets pest birds nest earlier and more often in Brisbane than in the southern cities.

Why Bird Problems Should Not Be Left

Birds rarely leave a good nesting spot on their own. The longer they stay, the bigger the clean-up.

Droppings and hygiene

Bird droppings and nests can carry bacteria, fungi and mites. Heavy build-up should be cleaned with the right gear.

Damage to the building

Droppings stain paint and render, and nests block gutters and downpipes, causing overflows.

Mites in the house

When birds leave a nest in the roof, bird mites can come down into the rooms below.

Falls from DIY

Climbing onto roofs, panels and balcony rails is dangerous. Leave the high work to a team with the gear.

How a Freshify Bird Control Job Works

We work out where the birds land, roost and nest, then block those spots so they move on.

Areas we check

Solar panels, roof tiles and iron, eaves, gutters, balcony rails, air conditioners, ledges, signs, awnings and vents.

  1. 1

    Quote and inspection

    We look at the birds, where they land and how to reach it, then give you a price.

  2. 2

    Nest and droppings removal

    Old nests and build-up are removed and the area cleaned.

  3. 3

    Proofing

    Mesh, spikes, netting or gap sealing is fitted to suit the spot.

  4. 4

    Check

    We check the finished work with you and show you what was done.

  5. 5

    Advice

    We explain what else attracts birds, such as food and water, so they have less reason to stay.

How Much Does Bird Control Cost?

The cost depends on these things:

The area. Number of solar panels, metres of ledge or size of the balcony.

Height and access. Double storey roofs and high ledges take more gear and time.

The method. Mesh, spikes, netting or gap sealing.

Clean-up. How many nests and how much droppings need removing.

You get the price before any work starts, with no hidden costs. Call 07 3544 9883 or send us the details online for a faster estimate.

Bird Control FAQs

Do you do solar panel bird proofing in Brisbane?

Yes. We remove nests and droppings from under the panels and fit mesh around the edges on homes right across Brisbane.

Can you stop birds getting into a Queenslander roof?

Yes. We find the gaps under the iron and at the eaves, make sure no birds or chicks are inside, then seal the entry points.

How do you stop pigeons nesting under solar panels?

We remove the nests and droppings, then fit a mesh skirt around the edge of the panels. Birds cannot get underneath, and the mesh does not touch the panels or affect how they work.

Do bird spikes hurt birds?

No. Spikes are blunt and stop birds landing comfortably. They simply move on to somewhere else.

Will birds come back after proofing?

Not to the proofed area. They may try nearby spots, so we check the whole building and cover the likely landing places.

Can you remove birds from my roof?

Yes. We find the gaps they are using, make sure no birds or chicks are inside, then seal the entry points.

Do you remove native birds?

No. Native birds are protected. We focus on pest birds such as feral pigeons, Indian mynas and starlings, and can advise on keeping native birds off the house without harming them.

Do you clean up bird droppings?

Yes. Droppings and nests are removed as part of the job, using the right gear for the build-up.

Can you do bird proofing on apartment balconies?

Yes. Netting and spikes can be fitted to most balconies. In strata buildings, check with the owners corporation about what is allowed on the outside.

Do you do bird control for businesses?

Yes. We proof shop fronts, signs, awnings, warehouses, factories and car parks, and can work outside trading hours.
