The Problem with Pigeons and Starlings
Nuisance birds, particularly pigeons, starlings, and sparrows, cause millions of dollars in damage to Ontario properties every year. They roost on commercial signage, nest in warehouse rafters, and clog residential vents.
The accumulation of bird droppings is unsightly, creates slip-and-fall hazards for businesses, and deteriorates building materials due to its high acidity. More importantly, dried bird droppings can release airborne spores that cause severe respiratory diseases like Histoplasmosis.
Our Humane Bird Exclusion Services
Apex Pest Control provides long-term, architectural bird deterrents that modify the environment so birds can no longer land or nest.
- Bird Spikes: We install stainless steel or polycarbonate bird spikes on ledges, parapets, roof peaks, and commercial signage to prevent pigeons from landing.
- Exclusion Netting: For large commercial spaces, warehouse ceilings, or apartment balconies, we install heavy-duty, near-invisible exclusion netting to physically block access.
- Vent Covers: For residential homes, we install specialized vent covers to prevent starlings from nesting in bathroom and dryer vents.
- Sanitation & Cleanup: Before installing deterrents, we safely remove nests and power-wash/sanitize the area using proper PPE to eliminate health hazards.
