Bird Control & Deterrent
Professional bird deterrent solutions that protect your property from roosting, nesting, and structural damage caused by nuisance birds. If you see birds landing on your roof or find droppings accumulating on surfaces, we help you address the bird problem before it spreads.
5 Highlights on Bird Control & Deterrent
- Integrated Bird Management — Our certified technicians bring years of field experience to every project, deploying a full range of durable bird deterrent systems made for long-term performance, including bird spikes, bird netting, electric track, and optical gel, to exclude pigeons, starlings, sparrows, and seagulls from ledges, parapets, eaves, and rooftop structures.
- Humane, Non-Lethal Methods — Bird control at A Scientific Pest Control relies on humane exclusion and dispersal. Every approach we use is chosen for its proven effectiveness and backed by current industry standards. We install mechanical and ultrasonic devices that deter birds without harming them, keeping your property compliant with federal migratory bird regulations and supported by our service warranty.
- Guano Removal & Sanitation — Bird droppings carry airborne pathogens and corrode building materials. Left untreated, the mess can have a lasting effect on structural integrity. Our crew removes guano deposits, disinfects contaminated surfaces, and sanitizes roosting areas to help you avoid health code violations and restore safe, pest-free conditions.
- Commercial & Residential Coverage — Serving both commercial and residential clients, we treat warehouses, parking garages, retail storefronts, hospitals, restaurants, and every type of house or multi-unit property. We offer bird deterrent installations that are custom-fitted to the structure’s architecture and the target species’ behavior.
- Guaranteed Results — Each bird control project includes a detailed inspection report, a written scope of work, and a service guarantee. We provide a free quote before any work begins, and the job is not done until results reach zero bird activity at treated sites. Ask about our ongoing maintenance program for properties that need year-round monitoring and corrective adjustments at no extra charge.
Why Choose Our Bird Control & Deterrent Service
Bird control is a specialized discipline that demands knowledge of avian behavior, structural engineering, and regulatory compliance. As a leading pest control provider, A Scientific Pest Control brings all three to every job, combining hands-on expertise with the latest research to deliver the best results.
Our licensed pest controllers hold certifications in Integrated Pest Management and wildlife management. We don’t guess. We look at the full picture – identify the species, map the roost sites, assess the flock size, and pinpoint the deterrent system that matches the infestation. Pigeons behave differently than grackles. Seagulls require different exclusion strategies than swallows. We learn the patterns at each property and build our treatment plans around them.
We carry full liability coverage and maintain all permits required by the EPA and state regulatory agencies for bird abatement work. Your property stays fully protected throughout every phase of service. Our technicians wear proper protective equipment, follow OSHA protocols, and use only EPA-registered products when chemical repellents or gel deterrents are part of the plan.
What sets us apart is accountability. We don’t install bird spikes and walk away. Our team returns to inspect every installation, confirm that birds have dispersed, and verify that no new nesting activity has started. If a deterrent fails, we replace it. Our track record and client reviews attest to a commitment that works – and we show up until conditions are better than when we started.
A Scientific Pest Control has built a reputation as a trusted, top-rated bird control provider that past clients consistently recommend. We back every project with a written guarantee, transparent pricing, and responsive follow-up service. Get in touch today or contact us at (866) 648-7331 for a consultation.
Signs You Need Bird Control & Deterrent
Bird infestations escalate fast, and what may start as a minor nuisance can quickly become a serious issue. A single roosting pair can attract an entire colony within weeks. Here are five signs your property needs professional bird deterrent service.
Accumulating Droppings on Surfaces: Guano buildup on ledges, walkways, signage, and loading docks signals an established roost. Bird droppings contain uric acid that etches concrete, stains paint, and corrodes metal. Rain spreads the residue across wider areas, and the longer deposits sit, the more they ruin surfaces and leave permanent discoloration. Droppings also create slip hazards for employees and customers.
Nesting Material in Vents and Soffits: Birds stuff twigs, feathers, and debris into dryer vents, HVAC intakes, chimney flues, and soffit openings. Blocked vents create fire risks and reduce airflow. Swallows and sparrows are persistent nesters that will rebuild a nest within days if nesting material is simply removed. Professional exclusion devices are the only way to keep them from returning.
Persistent Flocking Around the Building: Large flocks of starlings, grackles, or pigeons circling your roofline at dusk indicate an active communal roost. These flocks grow seasonally, and roosting patterns vary by species. Without deterrent measures taken early, the colony will expand and the contamination zone will widen.
Damage to Inventory or Equipment: In warehouses and food processing facilities, birds contaminate products, packaging, and machinery with droppings, feathers, and parasitic mites, making sanitation impossible without professional intervention. Health inspectors flag bird activity as a critical violation. A single infestation can trigger a quarantine or facility shutdown.
Audible Noise from Attics or Rafters: Scratching, cooing, and chirping inside ceiling cavities and attic spaces mean birds have breached the building envelope. Once inside, they breed rapidly. Hatchlings attract secondary pests like fleas, ticks, and beetles that feed on nesting material and carcasses.
Our Bird Control & Deterrent Process
Bird deterrent service at A Scientific Pest Control follows a structured, repeatable process designed to eliminate current infestations and prevent recurrence. Read through each step below, or visit our service page for additional details on scheduling and pricing.
Step 1: Site Inspection — A certified technician inspects the entire property. We identify the bird species, locate every roost site and nest, document droppings accumulation, and assess structural entry points – including thin gaps behind wall panels and fascia boards. We photograph all findings and compile a detailed inspection report.
Step 2: Species-Specific Treatment Plan — We design a deterrent strategy based on the species, flock size, building architecture, and client budget. We offer options at every price point, from low-profile bird wire to full-scale netting systems, as well as bird spikes, electric track, ultrasonic devices, laser deterrents, optical gel, and predator decoys. For interior infestations, we deploy one-way doors and exclusion devices.
Step 3: Installation & Exclusion — Our crew installs all deterrent hardware using stainless steel fasteners and commercial-grade anchoring. We seal entry points with wire mesh, screen open vents, cap chimneys, and proof soffits against re-entry. Every installation is secured for lasting performance and built to withstand weather and long-term exposure.
Step 4: Guano Cleanup & Disinfection — We remove all droppings, nesting material, and feathers. Contaminated surfaces are sanitized and disinfected using commercial-grade antimicrobial products. Technicians wear full protective equipment, including respirators, during cleanup.
Step 5: Monitoring & Follow-Up — We schedule return visits to monitor deterrent performance, inspect for new bird activity, and make any corrective adjustments. Ongoing management plans are available for commercial and industrial clients with persistent migratory bird pressure.

FAQs About Bird Control & Deterrent
What is bird control and deterrent service?
Bird control is the professional practice of removing, excluding, and deterring nuisance birds from residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Deterrent service includes installing physical barriers like bird spikes, netting, and electric track, as well as applying repellent gels and deploying ultrasonic or visual scare devices. The goal is to stop roosting, nesting, and flocking behavior that causes property damage and health hazards. A professional bird control company will assess the scope of the problem, recommend the right deterrent system, and handle every step from installation to follow-up.
When should I call a bird control professional?
Call as soon as you notice recurring bird activity – droppings on walkways, birds entering vents or attic spaces, flocks gathering on your roofline, or nesting material in gutters and soffits. Early intervention prevents colony growth. A small pigeon roost of five birds can grow to fifty within a single breeding season if left unmanaged.
Why are bird droppings dangerous?
Bird guano carries over 60 transmissible diseases, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. Dried droppings release airborne fungal spores that pose serious respiratory risks. Guano also harbors parasitic mites, fleas, and beetles. Beyond health concerns, the uric acid in droppings corrodes metal, degrades roofing materials, and permanently stains stone and concrete.
How long does bird deterrent installation take?
Most residential installations take one day. Commercial projects involving large-scale bird netting, electric track, or multi-structure exclusion may require two to five days depending on building height, square footage, and the number of roost sites. We provide a project timeline during the initial inspection.
Can birds return after deterrent installation?
Properly installed and maintained deterrent systems prevent birds from re-establishing roosts at treated locations. Birds may attempt to return, but physical barriers like netting and spikes block access. We monitor every installation and make corrective adjustments if any gaps appear. Our service guarantee covers re-treatment at no additional cost.
Does bird control harm the birds?
A Scientific Pest Control uses humane, non-lethal methods. Bird spikes, netting, wire, and ultrasonic devices deter birds without injuring them. When capture is necessary, we use live traps and relocate birds to appropriate habitats. All our methods comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and state wildlife management regulations.
