What’s in your spring bird control toolkit?

As bird activity increases, choosing the right solution for the site can make a big difference.

Depending on the problem, commercial bird control may involve spikes, bird wire, exclusion netting, ledge protection or other targeted deterrents.

Spring is the time to get ahead of nesting, roosting and repeat bird activity—before they become bigger maintenance issues.

"Large properties bring large bird-management challenges.

From warehouses and distribution centres to waste facilities and agricultural operations, bird activity can extend across multiple areas of a site.

The solution isn't simply to use more deterrents. It's about identifying where birds are landing, roosting, nesting and feeding—and building a strategy around those behaviours.

At PestIT, we believe effective bird management starts with understanding the problem before selecting the solution.

Spring nesting season is here — and bird activity can change quickly.

As birds move from roosting to nesting, activity becomes more persistent and targeted. Ledges, rooftops, vents and structural voids can quickly become nesting sites.

The best time to act is before nesting becomes established.

Proactive bird control can include exclusion netting, bird spikes, ledge protection and sealing access points — depending on the site and species.

Don’t wait for nesting problems to become maintenance problems.

CLEAN THE SITE. CHANGE THE SIGNAL.

Birds can become strongly associated with places where they regularly roost.

That means simply removing the droppings isn't always enough.

A thorough clean can be an important part of a broader bird management strategy—especially when combined with the right deterrent.

AvePro Gotta Go is a heavy-duty bird waste remover, disinfectant and deodoriser designed to help clean hard surfaces affected by bird droppings.

By removing the build-up, odour and contamination left behind, you're not just cleaning the surface. You're helping prepare the site for a more effective long-term bird management approach.

Because effective bird control isn't just about removing birds.

It's about changing the conditions that encourage them to return.

AVIAN CHLAMYDIOSIS: KNOW THE RISK.

Also known as Psittacosis, Ornithosis or Parrot Fever, Avian Chlamydiosis can affect people working around pest birds. The risk increases when dried bird droppings are disturbed, potentially causing flu-like symptoms, persistent dry cough, pneumonia and serious illness.

Effective bird management means more than deterring birds. Areas affected by droppings and nests should be properly cleaned, disinfected and removed using appropriate procedures and products.

Protect your people. Manage bird risks early.

Keep following our journey till April 2027. And for those interested in joining our journey, please let me know if you’d like to join us close to the top of the world. It would be wonderful to stand on Mera Peak as a group of Pest managers on International Parkinson’s Day and be the highest group from our industry doing something huge for Parkinson’s research.

A tough few months. A lesson worth sharing.

My battle with pneumonia has been a difficult one — and it’s reinforced how important it is to protect yourself when working around birds.

My message to the industry: Wear your P95 mask when working around bird droppings, feathers and nesting material.

Look after yourself. Take the risks seriously.

The expedition may have been postponed, but the challenge continues.

PEST BIRD DISEASES: SALMONELLOSIS

Bird droppings can carry more than an unpleasant smell.

Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection that can spread when bird faeces contaminate food, water or surfaces.

People working around bird-infested areas should take precautions, including wearing appropriate PPE and washing hands thoroughly after contact with bird faeces or birds.

Bird control is also about protecting people.

SEE BIRD DROPPINGS? DON'T IGNORE THE RISK.
Take action before contamination becomes a bigger workplace problem.
