Bird Pest Control In Sydney

Humane, effective bird pest control solutions for homes & businesses

Birds are part of our urban life in Sydney, but when they start nesting on your roof, perching on ledges or leaving droppings everywhere, they become pests. At Ecovia, we specialise in bird pest control in Sydney that's safe, effective and long-lasting. Let us help you reclaim your building — call us for a free inspection today.

Why Bird Pest Control Matters

Bird infestation is more than a nuisance — it brings real risks:
Health hazards: Bird droppings carry pathogens. Studies show more than 60 diseases may be transferred from birds to humans and pets.
Corrosion & property damage: Droppings are acidic and over time can erode metal, stonework, roofing and facades.
Secondary pests: Bird nests attract mites, insects, rodents — creating more infestations.
Structural & blocking issues: Gutters, drainage, vents and roof cavities can get clogged by nesting materials, causing leaks and damage.
Legal or permit risks: Some bird species and nests may be protected under NSW regulations. You need safe, compliant removal.
Ignoring early signs leads to escalating costs. For example, one Sydney homeowner saw more than $7,000 in damage before calling pest control.
With professional bird pest control, you don't just remove the symptoms — you prevent recurrence.

Common Pest Birds In Sydney & Their Behaviour

Knowing which species you're dealing with helps us tailor the solution:

Pigeons (feral rock doves): Large droppings, roosting, spread pathogens. Typical locations: Roof ledges, eaves, signs, ducts.
Australian White Ibis ("bin chicken"): Scavenging, nesting in palms, mess in public areas. Typical locations: Rooftops, palm trees, parks.
Common Mynas: Aggressive competitors, nest in cavities, block gutters. Typical locations: Eaves, wall cavities, vents.
Starlings / Sparrows: Nest in roof voids, bring mites inside. Typical locations: Roof spaces, eaves, wall voids.
Magpies (during swooping season): Can swoop and cause injury in breeding months. Typical locations: Trees near pedestrian paths, suburban zones.
Each species demands a slightly different control method. For example, controlling pigeons often involves long-term exclusion (netting, spikes), while dealing with ibis may require habitat modification and permit-based interventions.

Signs You Have A Bird Problem

If you see any of these, it's time to act:

Consistent accumulation of droppings on ledges, windows or walkways
Active nesting material, twigs or debris in gutters, vents or roof voids
Feathers scattered around building perimeters
Noise or flapping at dawn or dusk
Bird mites / biting insects appearing indoors, especially during warmer months
Surface staining or corrosion from acidic droppings
Blocked drainage or gutters from nesting debris
These are not isolated complaints — they often signal an active infestation that's gradually worsening.

Our Bird Pest Control Services & Methods

We apply a layered approach that's humane, targeted, and effective. Here's how Ecovia handles bird pest control:

Inspection & Assessment — We survey your property, identify species, map nests and entry points, evaluate risk zones— roof, vents, facades, etc.
Proofing / Exclusion — Using netting, stainless steel mesh, wire, spikes or spring-wire systems, we physically block birds from roosting or nesting.
Deterrents & Repellents — Visual aids (reflective strips, scare devices), sound deterrents, or non-toxic gels can discourage birds from returning to areas where proofing is impractical.
Nest Removal & Clean-Up — We safely remove old nests, feathers and droppings. Then we sanitise the area to neutralise pathogens and prevent lingering pests.
Maintenance & Monitoring — Periodic inspections ensure that proofing remains intact and no fresh activity begins. This is critical for long term success.
Contract / Seasonal Services — For commercial properties or large buildings, we offer ongoing bird control contracts (e.g. quarterly inspections, repairs, deterrent refreshes).
We emphasise humane, non-lethal methods. Toxic chemicals or lethal control are rarely effective long term, and often carry risks for native species.

DIY Tips & Prevention (Between Services)

These aren't full solutions, but they help reduce risk:

Seal or screen vents, eaves and gaps in roofing
Reduce food sources: secure bins, remove open compost, avoid feeding birds
Prune trees or overhanging branches near roofs
Clean droppings promptly using safe disinfectants
Avoid placing ledge decor or ornamentation in vulnerable spots
Use temporary deterrents (reflective tape, visual distractions) while awaiting professional service
These actions make your property less hospitable, but for full removal, professional bird pest control is the best path.
