Bird Control in Varsity Lakes

Bird proofing for roofs and solar

Bird Control Varsity Lakes

Varsity Lakes is a lakeside suburb around Bond University and Lake Orr. When pigeons, mynas or sparrows move onto a Varsity Lakes 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

In Varsity Lakes the first clue is usually cooing under the solar panels at dawn, or droppings building up on the balcony rail.

Until the proofing is fitted, these steps keep things safe and tidy.

  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.
