What is bird proofing and how does it stop birds from entering your roof?
Bird proofing a home or commercial building can involve a range of different methods including bird spikes, gutter mesh, solar panel protection, and more.
These measures are put in place to prevent birds from nesting, roosting, or perching on and within the roof of the building.
By utilising mesh, spikes, and other countermeasures, we are able to block known and potential entry points to ensure no bird can get through.
Why is bird proofing your home a good idea?
Birds are often seen as harmless, but they can actually cause significant problems when they decide to make your property their home. Common issues can include:
- Damage to the building structure as bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode various materials.
- Health hazards to residents and visitors as birds carry diseases and mites, their droppings can create unhygienic conditions, and they can flare up respiratory conditions like asthma.
- Blocked gutters and drains due to nests, droppings, and other bird-related debris collecting on the roof, causing potential water overflow and damage to the home and gutter system.
- Less peace and quiet and more disturbances as birds can be quite noisy, particularly in the early mornings which is not ideal for most people.
What types of birds are most likely to roost on roofing?
Introduced species like Indian Mynas and pigeons are the most common offenders, with pigeons generally choosing to roost as entire families under solar panels. Indian Mynas find existing entry points and will continue to come back for generations to nest in eaves and other areas in your roof that they see as safe, dark, and warm spaces.
