Q: How do bird spikes work?
A: Bird spikes create an uneven surface that prevents birds from landing and roosting. They are commonly installed on ledges, signs, beams, and other perching areas. They are our least used option because of smaller birds’ tendencies to build nests in the spikes, making matters worse.
Q: Will bird netting block access to my building?
A: No, bird netting is designed to be discreet and installed in a way that prevents birds from entering while still allowing normal access for people. Bird netting is the most humane and effective method of bird control because it simply denies pigeons and other birds access to the area of concern.

A: It depends on the species and local laws. Some nuisance birds can often be controlled without a permit, while others may require government authorization. We can help navigate any necessary permits.

A: The cost depends on the severity of the bird problem, the size of the area that needs protection, and the type of bird control method used. We offer assessments to provide customized solutions and pricing.
Q: How long does it take for bird control solutions to work?
A: Some solutions, like spikes and netting, work immediately. Others, like bird deterrents, may take time to be fully effective as birds adapt to the changes.
