Overview

Birds around a building are more than noise and mess. Droppings corrode roofing, solar panels, and paintwork, block gutters, and create a genuine hygiene problem around entrances and outdoor eating areas. For a business, birds near a doorway or dining space are a reputation risk as much as a maintenance one.

The fix is exclusion: making the ledges, cavities, and roof lines birds use unusable, so they move on and stay gone. Depending on the site that means netting, spikes, or other deterrents, installed where the birds actually perch and nest rather than scattered around and hoped over.

Bird jobs vary a lot with the building, so we assess the site first. From there you get a clear plan for proofing that lasts, for homes, solar arrays, and commercial buildings alike.

01

Bird proofing and exclusion

Proofing is the long-term answer. We install netting to seal off larger areas like courtyards, warehouse voids, and awnings, and spikes or deterrents on the ledges, signage, and roof lines birds use to perch.

Done properly, exclusion gives birds nowhere left to land or nest, so it solves the problem rather than moving it a few metres down the roof.

02

Solar panel bird proofing

The gap under a solar array is a favourite nesting spot for pigeons, and the droppings and debris that build up cut your panels' output and damage the roof beneath.

We proof the perimeter of the array so birds cannot get underneath, while keeping the panels fully accessible for cleaning and maintenance.

03

Hygiene and clean-up

Where birds have been established, there is usually a build-up of droppings and nesting material that needs dealing with as part of the job. Droppings are a health risk and they keep attracting more birds, so clearing them matters.

We handle the affected areas as part of the proofing so you are starting clean, not sealing the mess in.

04

Commercial bird control

Warehouses, shopping precincts, and hospitality venues deal with birds around loading docks, signage, eaves, and dining areas. We proof the structure discreetly, work around your operation, and keep the records a commercial site expects.

For a business, a bird problem is a hygiene and reputation issue, so it is worth proofing properly the first time.

Safety and property care

Safe treatment, and care for your home

Bird proofing is physical exclusion, not poison or chemical treatment, installed to keep birds off a surface without harming them and without disrupting your home or business while we're on site.

  • Exclusion, not poison baitWe don't use poison for birds. Netting, spikes, and other proofing stop birds landing or nesting, which matters since many native species are protected.
  • Safe access at heightRoof lines, awnings, and solar arrays mean working at height, so our team uses proper access gear and secures the area below while the job is on.
  • Little disruption to your dayMost jobs are completed without you needing to move anything indoors, and we schedule around your household or trading hours.
  • Clear the work area firstBefore we start, move vehicles, furniture, or stock from under the roof line or ledge being proofed so the crew has clean access.

Licensed, accredited, trusted

Credentials you can verify

Every treatment is carried out by a QBCC-licensed, accredited technician. We list our licence and accreditation details so homeowners, landlords, and property managers can verify them directly.

Will HartmannVerified customer
Andy completed a pest inspection at our property in Brisbane and his knowledge is second to none. He is very friendly and genuine and provided a great service. At the end of the pest inspection, he showed us through his findings and talked through different pest control methods and some things we could do to help lessen the chance of any termites finding the property attractive.
Lynda WatersVerified customer
Myself and my husband highly recommend Andy and Sarah, this is our 2nd time using their pest control services and we have had no problems with pests returning until we were due our next yearly service. They take extreme pride in their work and are very informative on the types of pests and what to use and not use.
Rory ComptonVerified customer
Excellent service for a pre purchase pest inspection in Brisbane. Communication was fast and professional. The report was comprehensive, received the day of the inspection, and Andy was available to explain plainly any questions I had. I would definitely use Bruin again in future.
Elizabeth KennedyVerified customer
Engaged Bruin to do a pest inspection and they were fantastic. They were available very quickly (next day) and were so easy to deal with. The inspector was professional and very polite. The report was available that day and was easy to understand. Their advice was so helpful, not just for our house purchase, but for dealing with the property into the future.
Claire BowdenVerified customer
My husband and I engaged Bruin to complete our pre-purchase pest inspection. We were extremely happy with the service offered by both the office staff and Andy. All were friendly, professional and thorough. Andy met my husband Wayne onsite and explained things clearly. We had our report later the same day. We highly recommend the Bruin team.

Common questions

Pest and termite questions, answered

Why are birds a problem around my home or business?

Beyond the noise and mess, birds create real hygiene and maintenance issues. Droppings are acidic and corrode roofing, solar panels, and paintwork, and they carry disease risk around outdoor eating areas and entrances. Nesting blocks gutters and downpipes, and for a business, birds around a doorway or dining area are a reputation problem as much as a hygiene one.

How do you keep birds away for good?

By making the spots they use unusable rather than just moving them on for a day. Depending on the site we install exclusion measures like netting, spikes, or other deterrents on the ledges, roof lines, and cavities birds are using. Done properly, proofing is a long-term fix, because the birds have nowhere left to perch or nest rather than simply being scared off.

Do birds nest under solar panels?

Yes, and it is one of the most common bird jobs we see. The gap under a solar array is sheltered and warm, which makes it ideal for pigeons to nest, and the droppings and debris that build up reduce the panels' output and can damage the roof. We can proof the perimeter of a solar array so birds cannot get underneath while leaving the panels fully accessible.

Do you do bird control for businesses?

Yes. Warehouses, shopping precincts, cafes, and commercial buildings all deal with birds around loading docks, signage, eaves, and dining areas. We proof the structure discreetly and work around your operation, and we can keep the documentation a commercial site expects. Bird pressure on a business is a hygiene and reputation issue, so it is worth dealing with properly.

Do you offer an on-site assessment?

Yes. Bird jobs vary a lot with the building and the species, so we assess the site before quoting rather than guessing. The assessment identifies where birds are perching and nesting, what is drawing them in, and the proofing that will actually work for your roof line or structure. From there you get a clear plan and quote for the exclusion work.
