Why Bird Nests Are a Problem

A nest in a dryer vent can block airflow, which is a fire risk. Nests in exhaust fans can push moisture back into your home. Bird droppings are messy and can damage surfaces, and nests can bring mites and insects.

How We Handle Bird Problems

Inspection to find where birds are nesting and getting in.
Plan and price before we start.
Removal of birds and nesting material. Some bird species are protected by law, so we check the species and timing first.
Prevention: we install vent covers, screens or other guards so birds can’t return. See animal exclusion & damage repair.

Commercial Bird Control

For businesses, birds on signs, ledges and loading areas can be a cleanliness and safety concern. We can recommend options to keep birds off your building.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove a bird nest myself?

Many birds are protected under Canadian law, especially while nesting. Common invasive species like starlings, house sparrows and pigeons are not protected in the same way. We identify the species first so it’s handled properly.

How do I know birds are in my vent?

Chirping, scratching or fluttering sounds in a vent, nesting material sticking out, or birds flying in and out are common signs.

How do I stop birds from coming back?

A proper vent cover or screen is the best fix. It lets air out but keeps birds from getting in.
