Getting rid of nuisance birds can be a difficult task for home and business owners. Certain bird species provide a host of problems when they nest on or around any property type. Their droppings and nesting materials can create health risks and cause property damage, resulting in costly repairs for property owners and a poor reputation for businesses.
Let Western Exterminator’s pest control experts take care of your bird problem. Our technicians use a range of effective bird control methods to help discourage birds from nesting on your property.
Bird activity is not always an infestation. A small number of birds passing through is normal. The issue starts when birds settle in, bring others with them, and create a consistent mess around the same areas.
Common risks include:
For businesses, the impact is often more visible. Droppings around entrances, loading areas, and signage can affect customer experience and create extra cleaning costs. That’s why commercial pest control is crucial.

There are steps you can take to keep birds away from your property. These DIY actions can help with light activity, stop birds from nesting, and may even support professional efforts.
Here are some common suggestions for how to repel birds:
DIY deterrents can help discourage the occasional nuisance bird, but they rarely resolve an active infestation. If birds keep returning, it usually means the nesting or roosting site is still accessible. In that case, scheduling professional bird control is the most reliable way to achieve long-term results.
We know that no two properties are the same, which is why we offer various bird control services for both residential and commercial properties. Every property is different. Bird species, access points, and nesting locations all matter.
Your technician will work with you to choose the best method to get rid of birds for your specific property. Here are some common ways we help get rid of birds:

Bird spikes can be used on manmade structures to prevent birds from perching, landing, or nesting. They are great for areas such as chimneys, fences, ledges, and company signs, and can be installed discreetly. Bird spikes have a dull tip and do not harm the bird. They work to deter the bird away from particular areas, forcing them to find somewhere else to land.
Residential and commercial

In some instances, bird trapping is necessary for complete bird control and removal. All trapping is done humanely and includes routine visits to ensure that food, water, and shade are available for any trapped birds.
Residential and commercial
Electric bird deterrents include the installation of devices on a flat service that will deliver light electric shocks to the birds, causing discomfort and encouraging them to move elsewhere. These are often used in conjunction with bird spikes.
Commercial only
Grid systems are a great bird repellent to keep birds out of certain areas. A wire grid is stretched over a surface, causing birds to find another location to land.
Commercial only
Optical gel is a perfect solution for balconies, ledges, company signs, roofs, or AC units. It is a multi-sensory repellent that affects sight, smell, and touch. The gel is sticky to the touch and smells like peppermint oil, which birds hate. Wherever the product is placed, birds see what looks like fire or smoke, which encourages them to stay away.
Our bird control process includes a consultation and inspection, as well as bird removal and prevention methods. Your bird control method may include a combination of deterrent, trapping, removal, and/or exclusion techniques to get rid of any birds on your property.

Yes. Western Exterminator focuses on humane deterrents and exclusion. When removal is required, it is carried out responsibly and in line with applicable local, state, and federal requirements.
No. While DIY steps can help with deterring the odd bird, if a large number are nesting, roosting, or returning repeatedly, professional exclusion is needed.
Birds can block vents and gutters with nesting materials, stain surfaces with droppings, and contribute to corrosion on certain building materials. Repeat roosting can also lead to ongoing cleaning and maintenance costs.
Droppings can create unsanitary conditions and may carry parasites. They can also create slip hazards on sidewalks, entryways, and loading areas.
