Bird proofing for roofs and solar
Bird Control Chelmer
Chelmer is a quiet riverside suburb of grand Queenslanders and big gardens, tucked into a bend of the Brisbane River opposite Indooroopilly. When pigeons, mynas or sparrows move onto a Chelmer 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
Birds getting into the roof of your Chelmer home? The earlier the gaps are closed, the less mess there is.
Here is what to do in the meantime.
-
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.

Why Birds Settle on Chelmer Buildings
Shelter, warmth and food keep birds breeding most of the year in South East Queensland.
Local Notes for Chelmer
We look after homes and businesses in Chelmer, postcode 4068, about 7 km from the Brisbane CBD in West Brisbane. Large Queenslanders on generous blocks, many raised or rebuilt after floods, sit among mature trees and gardens that run down toward the river.
Termites in big timber homes, possums in roofs under large trees and rats along the river are the main calls in Chelmer.
On Chelmer properties we check the solar panels, roof, gutters, eaves, balconies and any ledges or signs where birds gather. After any river rise or heavy rain, have a Chelmer home checked for termites; wet soil under the house draws them in.
What to watch for around Chelmer

How much is bird control in Chelmer?
It depends on the area to proof, access and clean-up. You get a fixed price before we start.
What pests are most common in Chelmer?
Termites in big timber homes, possums in roofs under large trees and rats along the river are the main calls in Chelmer.
What should Chelmer homeowners look out for?
The things we find most often around Chelmer are termites in damp ground and timber near the river, possums nesting in roofs shaded by big trees, rats moving up from the riverbank in winter and ants and cockroaches pushed inside after floods and heavy rain. After any river rise or heavy rain, have a Chelmer home checked for termites; wet soil under the house draws them in.

Yes. It clips to the frame without drilling and does not shade the cells.

Mainly pigeons, Indian mynas and sparrows. Native birds such as swallows are kept off with proofing only.
