Bird Control & Exclusion
Pest birds do more than make a mess — droppings damage buildings and carry disease. We deter and exclude pigeons, sparrows, and starlings humanely, then keep them from coming back.
Nuisance birds are a serious and often underestimated pest in South Florida. Pigeons, house sparrows, and European starlings roost on ledges, signs, solar panels, and rooftops, and their acidic droppings stain and corrode building materials, clog gutters and drains, and create slip hazards on walkways. Their nests block vents and can be a genuine fire risk, while the droppings and nesting debris harbor mites and can spread more than 60 transmissible diseases.
Getting rid of pest birds is not about harming them — it is about making your property an unwelcome place to land, roost, and nest, and physically excluding them from the spots they favor. We identify the species and the pressure points, then design a humane program using exclusion, deterrents, and clean-up that solves the problem for the long term rather than just scaring birds from one ledge to the next.
Common types we treat in South Florida
- Pigeons. The most common urban pest bird — bold, highly reproductive, and loyal to roosting sites. Controlled with netting, spikes, wire, and ledge exclusion.
- House sparrows. Small, aggressive cavity-nesters that pack signs, vents, and soffits with nesting material. Managed with exclusion and nest removal.
- European starlings. Flock in large, noisy numbers and displace native birds; nest in vents and cavities. Controlled with exclusion and deterrents.
- Roosting flocks. Grackles and other birds that gather on ledges, canopies, and parking structures — reduced with deterrents and habitat modification.
Signs you may have a problem
- Droppings accumulating on ledges, walkways, signs, or vehicles
- Birds repeatedly roosting on the roofline, canopy, or A/C units
- Nesting material packed into signs, soffits, vents, or gutters
- Cooing, chirping, or flapping noises in attics, vents, or eaves
- Feathers, mites, or a foul odor near roosting and nesting areas
Our approach
We start with a site inspection to identify the bird species and map every roosting, loafing, and nesting point. We then combine physical exclusion (netting, spikes, wire, and sealing entry gaps) with visual and tactile deterrents where appropriate, plus safe removal of existing nests and sanitizing of droppings. For commercial buildings, HOAs, and warehouses we design discreet, code-conscious programs and can service them on a recurring schedule so the property stays bird-free.
