How to remove birds from your property safely

Bird infestations in Canberra can lead to significant damage to your property and pose health risks. Common pest birds, such as pigeons, seagulls, and other urban species, are frequently found in areas with open spaces, parks, and developed urban environments. Bird droppings can stain and corrode roofing, gutters, and outdoor furniture, while nests may block essential systems like vents and drains. Additionally, birds can carry harmful bacteria, parasites, and fungi, which can potentially affect human health, making swift action necessary to control infestations.

Rentokil offers expert bird pest control Canberra services that are both humane and effective. We start with a thorough inspection of your property to identify bird species, nesting locations, and potential entry points. Our trained technicians thoroughly assess the situation by locating roosting areas, whether on rooftops, balconies, ledges, or other commercial structures, to determine the extent of the problem and the risk to your property.

Our targeted bird control strategies include:

Humane bird removal – Gently relocating birds from their nesting or roosting spots, encouraging them to leave without harm.

Physical deterrents – Installing bird spikes, netting, or wires to prevent birds from landing, nesting, or roosting in vulnerable areas.

Sealing entry points – Identifying and closing off gaps, vents, and cracks that allow birds to enter roofs, attics, or storage areas.

Environmental management – Reducing attractants such as food and water sources, cleaning up debris, and managing areas that may encourage bird activity.

Ongoing monitoring and adjustments – Regular checks of treated areas to confirm the birds have not returned, and making adjustments to deterrents as necessary for continued protection.

Rentokil’s integrated bird removal Canberra strategy ensures your property is safeguarded from the risks and damage caused by pest birds. With our mix of humane bird control, preventative methods, and expert guidance, we offer long-term solutions to keep residential, commercial, and industrial properties in Canberra safe from unwanted birds.
 

Health risks associated with pest birds

Pest birds can carry and transmit several diseases, some of which can be harmful to humans, pets, and livestock. Common health risks associated with pest birds include:

  • Avian flu: A contagious viral infection that can be spread through bird droppings and respiratory secretions.
     
  • Histoplasmosis: A fungal infection that can be contracted from breathing in dust contaminated by bird droppings.
     
  • Salmonella: A bacterial infection that can be transmitted through contact with bird droppings.
     
  • Parasites: Birds can carry parasites such as lice, mites, and ticks, which can infest your property and pose further health risks.

To minimise these risks, it’s essential to address bird infestations promptly. Rentokil provides expert bird pest control Canberra services to ensure your property is protected from the health hazards associated with pest birds.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Bird infestations can cause significant damage to your property, including the deterioration of roofing, gutters, and outdoor furniture. Birds also pose health risks by spreading diseases such as avian flu and carrying parasites like mites and ticks. Effective bird control helps protect your property and the health of those who live or work there.

In Canberra, the most common pest birds are pigeons, seagulls, and Indian mynas. These species often nest on rooftops, ledges, and in other high places. While pigeons and seagulls are well-known for causing property damage, Indian mynas can be particularly problematic due to their tendency to nest in buildings.
