Birds Nesting on Your Roof? We’ll Clear It Safely
Birds inside your ceiling or eaves may seem harmless, but they bring noise, droppings, parasites, and property damage. Once they settle in, nests grow fast, and birds return every season. Bugs Are Gone offers Bird Removal Services for single-story homes, removing the nest safely and preventing birds from coming back.
We treat the issue at the entry point and secure the area to keep your home protected.
Birds Don’t Just Fly In, They Settle and Multiply
Birds target quiet, sheltered spots to nest. Roof cavities, gutters, vents, and eaves offer the ideal space. Once inside, they leave feathers, nesting debris, and droppings. Many carry mites, lice, and other parasites that spread through ceilings and walls.
Their noise disrupts sleep. Their droppings stain plaster. Their nesting materials clog drains and vents.
Early removal avoids long-term damage and recurring issues.
Bird Infestations Are Easy to Miss
Some birds enter through small gaps in tiles, vents, or flashing. Homeowners often hear rustling or chirping before noticing anything outside.
Signs You Have Birds Nesting in Your Roof
- Scratching, fluttering, or chirping sounds inside ceiling spaces
- Bird droppings near eaves, vents, or patios
- Loose roof tiles or gaps in fascia boards
- Straw, leaves, or nesting debris near gutters
- Birds landing repeatedly on the same roof area
- Mites or small insects falling from ceiling vents or light fittings
Ignoring these signs leads to blocked gutters, spoiled insulation, stained ceilings, and secondary pest infestations.
What We Remove and Where
Our service covers removal of nesting birds and their nests from accessible points in single-story homes. We work on:
- Roof cavities and ceiling voids
- Wall vents and extractor ducts
- Fascia board gaps and flashing
- Eaves, patios, and porch roofs
- External air bricks and weep holes
- Gutter lines and downpipes
We remove the nest, clean the affected zone, and seal entry points using durable materials designed for long-term protection.
Our Bird Removal Process
We work methodically to remove birds without harming the structure or leaving mess behind. This includes proper clean-up and prevention steps after the birds are gone.
Step 1: Inspection and Access Assessment
We inspect the suspected entry point and nesting area. This includes the roof cavity, gutter line, eaves, or vent opening. We confirm if the nest is active and assess how birds are entering the property.
We only service single-story homes for safety and access reasons.
Step 2: Nest Removal
Once we confirm the nest is not protected under wildlife laws and is safe to remove, we proceed with physical removal. We extract nesting materials, debris, feathers, and droppings.
Step 3: Surface Treatment (If Needed)
Bird droppings attract other pests and carry health risks. We apply a safe disinfectant spray to the affected area. This reduces bacteria, neutralizes odour, and discourages parasites from spreading further.
Step 4: Sealing Entry Points
We block the access zone using mesh, bird spikes, sealant, or replacement flashing. Materials used depend on the structure and position. The goal is to stop birds from re-entering while maintaining airflow.
Step 5: Prevention Advice
We provide simple ways to reduce future risk, such as trimming overhanging branches, keeping food away from outdoor areas, and maintaining vents and gutter guards.
Safe, Fast, and Respectful of Wildlife
We follow local regulations when dealing with native birds. Some species are protected. We inspect the nest before removal and do not disturb chicks or eggs of protected species. In such cases, we advise on legal options and possible deferral.
Our removal methods are non-toxic, quiet, and avoid distress to animals or humans. Once treatment is complete, we leave no trace behind.
Why Timing Matters
Birds return to familiar nesting sites year after year. If you delay removal, they will breed, multiply, and attract other pests like mites and flies. Nesting materials also block ventilation, trap moisture, and break down insulation.
A single missed season can lead to expensive ceiling repairs and professional cleaning.
Why Store-Bought Repellents Don’t Work
Hanging objects or sound devices rarely stop birds once they’ve chosen a nesting spot. These methods lose effect quickly and don’t block access.
The only reliable solution is to remove the nest and seal the structure.
