Bird proofing for roofs and solar

Bird Control Petrie Terrace

Petrie Terrace is a small inner suburb on the hill above Caxton Street, with old workers' cottages and busy pubs. When pigeons, mynas or sparrows move onto a Petrie Terrace 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 Petrie Terrace 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.

Bird Problems We Fix in Petrie Terrace

Birds cause trouble in a few predictable places. Here they are.

"Nesting under the solar panels"

Pigeons love the sheltered gap, and droppings pile up fast.

"Droppings all over the balcony"

Railings and air conditioning units are favourite roosts.

"Birds in the roof space"

Sparrows and mynas slip in under tiles and eaves.

"Gutters overflowing"

Nests and droppings block gutters and downpipes.

"Mess over the shopfront"

Signs and awnings draw pigeons above the entrance.

"Tiny mites inside"

Bird mites leave old nests and wander indoors.

Why Birds Settle on Petrie Terrace Buildings

Solar panels, eaves and easy food make Petrie Terrace buildings attractive to birds.

Local Notes for Petrie Terrace

Petrie Terrace (QLD 4000) is part of Inner Brisbane, in the centre of the city, and it is on our regular run. Pre-war workers' cottages and Queenslanders on small blocks, with apartments and offices nearby.

Termites in old cottages, cockroaches and rats around pubs and restaurants are the regular calls.

On Petrie Terrace properties we check the solar panels, roof, gutters, eaves, balconies and any ledges or signs where birds gather. Petrie Terrace cottages should have subfloor vents kept clear; poor airflow under old homes attracts termites.

What to watch for around Petrie Terrace

  • Termites in old timber cottages
  • Cockroaches around pubs and restaurants
  • Rats around bins and laneways
  • Possums in old tin roofs

Health

02

Damage

Acidic droppings stain paint and corrode metal.

Blocked gutters

Leading to overflows and leaks.
