How does bird control work?
Bird control in Melbourne works by clearing the nests and droppings birds have left, then physically stopping them from landing or getting back in. Pigeons, Indian mynas and starlings return to the same spots every season, so without proofing the nest comes back within weeks.
The most common job we see is pigeons nesting under solar panels, where the gap between the panels and the roof is sheltered, warm and hard to reach. We remove the nesting material and droppings, then fit galvanised mesh around the panel edges so birds cannot get underneath. For balconies, eaves and ledges, bird netting and spikes do the same job.

Pigeons, Indian mynas and starlings
These three introduced birds cause almost all bird control jobs in Melbourne. Native birds are protected, and we will tell you if yours is one of them.
Feral pigeon
Columba livia
- Where it nests
- Under solar panels, in gutters, roof cavities, eaves and balconies.
- Why it is a problem
- Droppings, blocked gutters, noise and mites, and nests that damage panel wiring.
- How we handle it
- Pigeon control starts with nest removal, then mesh, netting or spikes.
Indian myna
Acridotheres tristis
- Where it nests
- Roof cavities, gutters, wall gaps and dense trees near houses.
- Why it is a problem
- Noisy, aggressive to native birds, and nests block gutters and vents.
- How we handle it
- Indian myna control focuses on sealing roof and wall gaps they nest in.
Common starling
Sturnus vulgaris
- Where it nests
- Roof cavities, vents, eaves and holes in buildings.
- Why it is a problem
- Large flocks, droppings, noise and bird mites that bite people.
- How we handle it
- Nests cleared and the entry points meshed or sealed.
Solar panel bird proofing Melbourne homes need
Pigeons love the gap under solar panels: it is sheltered from rain, warm and out of reach of predators. Over time the nests fill the gap with sticks and droppings, block gutters, attract mites and can damage the cabling underneath.
Solar panel bird proofing Melbourne homeowners book with us has three steps: we clear out the nests and droppings, check the gutters, then fit galvanised mesh around the edges of the array. The mesh clips onto the panel frames, so there is no drilling into panels or roofing.
- Nests and droppings removed
- Gutters checked and cleared
- Galvanised mesh fitted
- Clips, no drilling into panels
- Neat finish from the street
- Photos of the work
Bird netting, bird spikes and mesh: which one?
Each bird proofing method suits a different spot. After seeing where the birds are, we recommend the one that will actually keep them out.
Solar panel mesh
Best for pigeons under solar panels
- Galvanised mesh around the panel edges
- Clips onto frames, no drilling
- Keeps birds out from under the array
- Nests removed first
Bird netting
Best for balconies, courtyards and large areas
- Fine, strong netting across the whole area
- Stops birds entering completely
- Discreet from a distance
- Sized to your balcony or void
Bird spikes
Best for ledges, beams and signs
- Spikes stop birds landing and roosting
- Fixed along ledges and beams
- Birds are deterred, not hurt
- Common on shopfronts and awnings
| Method | Solar mesh | Bird netting | Bird spikes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stops | Nesting under panels | Birds entering an area | Birds landing on a ledge |
| Best for | Solar panels | Balconies and voids | Ledges, beams, signs |
| Visibility | Low from the street | Low from a distance | Visible up close |
| Starting price | From $590 | From $900 | Quoted on site |
Pigeons under the solar panels? Please do not climb up there.
Roofs with solar panels are slippery and dangerous, and nesting material under panels can hide damaged wiring. Take a photo from the ground and let us do the climbing.

What sets your final bird control price

- Roof height and pitch. Two storey and steep roofs need more safety equipment and time.
- How much nesting there is. Years of nests and droppings take longer to clear.
- Netting area. Netting is priced on the size and shape of the area.
- Access. Balconies in apartment blocks may need building access arranged.
- Commercial sites. Shopfronts, warehouses and signs are quoted on site.
Is bird proofing humane, and will the birds come back?
The two questions people ask before booking bird control.
Humane and lawful
Mesh, netting and spikes stop birds landing and nesting without harming them.
Native birds are protected. If a native bird is nesting, we tell you and do not disturb it.
Keeping them away
Birds come back to the same spot while it is open to them, which is why proofing, not just nest removal, solves it.
The proofing work is covered by written warranty terms on your job record, explained before you agree.
