Birds Nesting at Your Place? Here Is What to Do

In Sydney, pigeons are the big problem on balconies and solar panels, and Indian mynas nest in roofs, especially in the west and south west. 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
Stop the food source
Clear spilt pet food and bird seed, and keep bins closed.
2
Note where they land
Watch where the birds sit, roost and fly in. It tells us what to proof.
3
Keep droppings dry
Do not hose dry droppings into the air. Leave clean-up of heavy build-up to us.
4
Take photos
Photos of the panels, balcony or roof gaps help us price the job.
5
Call 07 3544 9883
Tell us the bird, the spot and the height, and we will arrange a quote.

Bird Control Services We Offer

Each job is matched to the bird, the building and where they land. The aim is simple: birds move on and do not come back to that spot.

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?
Bird	Where it causes trouble	What usually works
Feral pigeons	Solar panels, balconies, ledges, roofs	Panel mesh, spikes and netting
Indian (common) mynas	Roof gaps, eaves, signs	Sealing gaps and removing nests
Common starlings	Roof spaces, wall vents	Sealing gaps and vent covers
House sparrows	Awnings, warehouses, eaves	Netting and gap sealing
Native birds	Gardens and trees	Left alone; we can advise on protecting the house
Swallows	Under eaves and verandas	Advice 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 Sydney Has So Many Bird Problems

High-density living, rooftop solar and a large myna population all play a part.

Apartment towers

Parramatta, Chatswood, Rhodes, Wolli Creek and the CBD have thousands of balconies where pigeons roost and nest.

Mynas in the west

Indian mynas are very common across western and south-western Sydney, nesting in roof gaps and eaves.

Solar panels

Rooftop solar on homes from the Hills to the Shire gives pigeons sheltered spots to nest.

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
Quote and inspection
We look at the birds, where they land and how to reach it, then give you a price.
2
Nest and droppings removal
Old nests and build-up are removed and the area cleaned.
3
Proofing
Mesh, spikes, netting or gap sealing is fitted to suit the spot.
4
Check
We check the finished work with you and show you what was done.
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 deal with Indian mynas in Sydney?

Yes. We find where mynas are getting into the roof or eaves, remove the nests and seal the gaps so they cannot get back in.

Do you do solar panel bird proofing in Sydney?

Yes. We clear nests and droppings from under the panels and fit mesh around the edges on homes across Sydney.

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.
