Bird proofing for roofs and solar

Hillcrest is a Logan suburb of family homes near Browns Plains. When pigeons, mynas or sparrows move onto a Hillcrest roof, balcony or solar array, we clean up the mess and fit proofing that keeps them from settling again.

Birds Moving In? First Steps
Birds getting into the roof of your Hillcrest 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.

"Birds in the roof space"
Sparrows and mynas slip in under tiles and eaves.
"Gutters overflowing"
Nests and droppings block gutters and downpipes.
