Bird Control for Commercial Premises
Many types of birds across the country are good to have around, thanks to their attractive plumage and birdsong. But the wrong kind of bird in the wrong place can be a real menace. Some pest birds can cause serious problems when they build nests, leave behind droppings, annoy customers, or damage property while searching for food.
Pigeons are one of the most common nuisance birds, known for their messy droppings and tendency to gather near food sources.
Collared doves can become a nuisance when they roost on buildings and leave waste behind.
Gulls are aggressive pest birds that scavenge for food and often disrupt outdoor areas.
Canadian geese are large birds that can damage landscapes and create sanitation issues with their droppings.
The house sparrow is a small but persistent nuisance bird that often nests in building crevices.
European starlings are invasive, common pest birds that crowd out native bird species and can spread disease through their droppings.
Identifying pest bird species early can help limit the damage they cause. Look for signs like large groups of birds, frequent dropping buildup, nests in sheltered areas, and noisy activity near food sources. To identify specific species, watch for differences in appearance and behavior. Pigeons often flock in cities and leave extensive droppings, while gulls are large and loud near open water and landfill sites. House sparrows are small and quick, often flying around roofs and vents, and starlings form dense flocks with iridescent feathers.

Effective pest control for nuisance birds often requires a combination of methods. Our technicians will recommend the most effective bird control techniques for your property and type of bird.

A nuisance bird is any bird that causes problems by damaging property, creating health risks, or disrupting daily operations.
Gulls, Canada geese, and European starlings are often seen as hostile due to their aggressive behavior and tendency to gather in large, disruptive flocks.
The most effective way to deter birds is to limit access to food, water, and roost sites, and to work with us to install the right bird control solutions.
