Bird proofing for roofs and solar
Bird Control Carrara
Carrara is home to the stadium and markets, with family homes along the Nerang River floodplain. When pigeons, mynas or sparrows move onto a Carrara roof, balcony or solar array, we clean up the mess and fit proofing that keeps them from settling again.
We never harm birds. Native species are kept off with proofing only.

Birds Moving In? First Steps
Pigeons roosting on a Carrara roof or ledge come back to the same spot day after day.
These steps help until we can fit proofing.
-
1
Wet droppings before cleaning
Dry droppings release dust. Use a mask and gloves.
-
2
Leave nests with eggs or chicks
Some birds are protected, and active nests need the right handling.
-
3
Remove food
Cover bins, bring in pet food and stop feeding birds nearby.
-
4
Photograph the spot
It helps us quote the right proofing quickly.

Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.
