BIRDS
Safe, Humane Bird Removal for Homes and Businesses
Birds might seem harmless, but when they nest in roof spaces or gather in large numbers around your home or business, they can quickly become a serious problem. At Gladiator Pest Control, we offer safe, effective bird control solutions that remove the issue without harm. Whether it’s pigeons roosting on signage or birds nesting in your eaves, we provide discreet, long-term solutions that protect your property and your peace of mind.
Why Are Birds Nesting Around My Property?
In urban and suburban areas, birds look for warm, sheltered places to nest — especially during breeding season. You might notice:
- Birds entering your roof or wall cavities
- Nesting materials in gutters or downpipes
- Droppings on window ledges, solar panels or balconies
- Ongoing noise and mess, particularly in the early morning
- While some bird activity is normal, nesting in or on your property can lead to damage, hygiene issues, and repeated infestations if not addressed.
Have been using Matt and his team for years, and never disappointed. He was very careful and understanding of our needs as we have a new kitten and wanted to be careful even though the spray is pet and child friendly. Highly recommend the service.

How to Get Rid of Problem Birds
DIY bird deterrents like spikes, fake owls or sound machines often don’t work for long — especially once birds are nesting. It’s important to act early and choose methods that are both effective and humane.
At Gladiator, we assess each site carefully and use a combination of bird-proofing techniques, including physical barriers and discreet deterrents, to keep birds away for good — without harming them. Every solution is tailored to the building, the species involved, and the surrounding environment.
FAQs
-
Yes — all of our bird control methods are humane and compliant with Australian animal welfare standards.
We focus on deterrence, not harm — using techniques such as bird spikes, netting, and solar mesh to prevent nesting or roosting without injuring the birds. Every solution is designed to protect your property while respecting local wildlife.
-
Birds are drawn to roof spaces because they’re warm, dry, and sheltered — ideal conditions for nesting and raising young.
In Sydney, species like pigeons, mynas, and starlings often find small entry gaps around eaves, tiles, or solar panels. Once inside, they can leave droppings, nesting debris, and mites that may spread to other areas of the home.
A professional inspection can identify where they’re getting in and recommend the right exclusion method to prevent future nesting.
-
Yes. We install high-quality, purpose-built solar panel bird mesh that prevents birds from nesting underneath panels without affecting energy performance.
The mesh is durable, discreet, and fully removable for maintenance, providing long-term protection for both your solar investment and your roof.
It’s one of the most effective ways to stop ongoing noise, mess, and damage caused by nesting birds.

Our Process
Inspection
We identify the species (e.g. pigeons, mynas, starlings), assess nesting or roosting areas, and determine the best course of action.
Treatment
If nesting is already underway, we follow best-practice procedures to remove birds and any nesting material in line with local regulations.
Prevention
We install long-term deterrents such as bird netting, spikes, roof seals or optical gel — depending on your property and the severity of the issue.
Follow-Up
We offer maintenance and monitoring for commercial sites or high-risk areas to prevent birds from returning.
