Enviro Safe Pest Control in Melbourne
Bird Control Melbourne
Birds are often a welcome part of the Melbourne landscape, but when species like pigeons, starlings, or Indian Mynas decide to take up residence on your property, they quickly transition from local wildlife to significant pests. Beyond the noise, birds cause extensive structural damage by dislodging roof tiles, blocking gutters with nesting material, and corroding building surfaces with acidic droppings. Furthermore, birds are known carriers of parasites and various pathogens that can pose a risk to human health. At Enviro Safe Pest Control, we provide humane and effective birds control services, ensuring that they are encouraged to move on to more appropriate environments while your residential or commercial property remains clean, safe, and intact.

How Our Bird Control Works?
We implement a robust management plan designed to break the “homing” instinct of pest birds and secure your property against future nesting attempts.
Inspection
We audit your roof, gutters, and ledges to identify the bird species involved and the specific areas being used for roosting or nesting.
Explanation
Every property is unique. We explain the pros and cons of different deterrent systems—such as bird spikes, wire, or netting—to help you choose the best fit for your budget and building style.
Treatment
We clear away all existing nests and debris before installing high-quality, weather-resistant deterrents that prevent birds from landing or entering voids.
Prevention
We provide practical advice on reducing food attractants and maintaining your deterrent system to ensure your property remains bird-free for the long term.
Proactive Tips for a Bird-Free Property
Birds are attracted to properties that offer easy access to shelter and food. By managing these environmental factors, you can make your building far less inviting to pest species:
- ✓Seal entry points: Check for gaps under roof tiles or broken eaves and seal them with heavy-duty wire mesh to prevent birds from entering your ceiling cavity.
- ✓Secure solar panels: Install specialised solar panel mesh to block the gap between the panels and the roof, which is a favourite nesting spot for pigeons in Melbourne.
- ✓ Manage food sources:Ensure outdoor bins have secure lids and avoid leaving pet food outside, as even small amounts of grain or scraps can attract a permanent flock.
- ✓Maintain your gutters: Regularly clear your gutters of leaves and debris; birds often use blocked gutters as a foundation for their nests, leading to water damage during rain.
- ✓ Use visual deterrents:While not a permanent fix, items like reflective tape or hawk decoys can provide short-term relief while you arrange for professional exclusion work.
Why Professional Bird Control Matters?
Professional management in Melbourne ensures a permanent solution that addresses the specific habits of the birds and the structural nuances of your building.
- ✓ Expert Installation: Our technicians are trained to work at heights and ensure that deterrents like netting are tensioned correctly to prevent birds from becoming entangled.
- ✓Hazardous Waste Handling: Bird droppings (guano) can carry respiratory diseases; we use specialised PPE and cleaning agents to safely remove waste without risking your family’s health.
- ✓ Legal Compliance:We ensure all work complies with Victorian wildlife protection laws, providing you with a solution that is both effective and ethically responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about Birds inspections, prevention, and treatment options.
Are bird droppings really dangerous?
Yes, dried droppings can release fungal spores that lead to respiratory issues like Histoplasmosis, and their acidic nature can permanently damage stone and metal.
Will bird spikes hurt the birds?
Why do pigeons love solar panels?
The gap under solar panels provides a warm, sheltered, and predator-free environment that is perfect for pigeons to raise multiple broods of chicks each year.
Can I remove a bird nest myself?
It is risky due to the height involved and the potential for bird mites and bacteria. It is also important to ensure no eggs or chicks are present to remain legally compliant.
How do I stop birds from nesting in my chimney?
Installing a stainless steel chimney cowl or bird guard is the most effective way to allow smoke to escape while preventing birds from entering the flue.
Does bird netting work for all species?
Yes, but the mesh size must be tailored to the species; for example, smaller starlings require a finer mesh than larger pigeons or seagulls.
What are bird mites?
Bird mites are tiny parasites that live on birds and in their nests. Once the birds leave the nest, the mites often migrate indoors seeking a new host, causing itchy bites on humans.
How long do bird deterrents last?
Professional-grade materials like stainless steel spikes and UV-treated netting are designed to withstand Melbourne’s harsh weather for 10 years or more.
Why are birds suddenly attacking my windows?
This usually happens during breeding season when birds see their own reflection and perceive it as a rival, attempting to defend their territory.
How can I stop birds from roosting on my balcony?
Discreet balcony netting or the installation of bird wire along the railings are the most effective ways to reclaim your outdoor space without blocking your view.
