Bird Control in Mount Cotton

Bird proofing for roofs and solar

Bird Control Mount Cotton

Mount Cotton is a leafy, hilly Redlands suburb of acreage and estates, home to Sirromet Winery. When pigeons, mynas or sparrows move onto a Mount Cotton 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 Mount Cotton home? The earlier the gaps are closed, the less mess there is.

Here is what to do in the meantime.

  1. 1

    Wet droppings before cleaning

    Dry droppings release dust. Use a mask and gloves.

  2. 2

    Leave nests with eggs or chicks

    Some birds are protected, and active nests need the right handling.

  3. 3

    Remove food

    Cover bins, bring in pet food and stop feeding birds nearby.

  4. 4

    Photograph the spot

    It helps us quote the right proofing quickly.

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

"Nesting under the solar panels"

Railings and air conditioning units are favourite roosts.

"Birds in the roof space"

Sparrows and mynas slip in under tiles and eaves.

Nests and droppings block gutters and downpipes.
