Pestisect Pest Control

Bird Removal & Control Services

While birds are a vital part of our ecosystem, they become a major health and property risk when they choose your balcony, HVAC vents, or warehouse rafters as their nesting grounds. Pigeons and starlings are the primary culprits in the GTA, leaving behind corrosive droppings and introducing secondary pests like bird mites into your home or business.

Pestisect provides professional bird removal, cleaning, and long-term deterrent installation services.

Why Birds Are a Serious Problem

Beyond the noise, bird infestations carry significant risks for GTA property owners:

Corrosive Droppings

Bird droppings (guano) are highly acidic. They can eat through paint, corrode metal roofing, and cause permanent damage to a building's limestone or brickwork.

Respiratory Health Risks

Dried bird droppings can aerosolize and spread diseases like Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis when inhaled. This is a major concern for commercial buildings with birds near air intake vents.

Fire Hazards

Starlings frequently nest inside bathroom and dryer vents. Their dry, straw-based nests can block airflow and easily ignite, causing house fires.

Secondary Pests

Bird nests are often infested with bird mites, ticks, and carpet beetles. Once the birds leave the nest, these tiny insects often migrate into your living space looking for a new host.

What is Bird Guano? Guano is the accumulated excrement of birds. For urban pest birds like pigeons, guano is extremely rich in uric acid, making it highly corrosive to building materials like steel, concrete, and limestone, while also serving as a breeding ground for dangerous fungal diseases.
Industry Fast Facts:
  • Pigeon droppings can carry up to 60 different transmittable diseases, including Histoplasmosis and Salmonella.
  • Most native birds are federally protected in Canada under the Migratory Birds Convention Act; however, urban nuisance birds like Pigeons, European Starlings, and House Sparrows are considered invasive and are exempt from these protections.
  • Bird mites are microscopic parasites that feed on the blood of nesting birds. When a nest is abandoned, thousands of mites will often migrate through HVAC vents into human living spaces.

Bird Control Process

Our Bird Control Solutions

We follow all Canadian federal and provincial laws regarding bird protection while ensuring your property remains clean and safe.

1. Vent & Soffit Bird Removal

If birds are nesting in your dryer or bathroom vents, we safely remove the nesting material (ensuring no live chicks are trapped) and install heavy-duty metal vent covers that allow for proper airflow but prevent birds from re-entering.

2. Balcony Netting & Spiking

For high-rise condo owners in Toronto and Mississauga, pigeons are a constant nuisance. We install nearly invisible, professional-grade poly netting and bird-safe spikes to turn your balcony into a "no-landing zone," protecting your outdoor space and furniture from guano.

3. Commercial Bird Netting & Deterrents

For warehouses and retail spaces, we install large-scale netting systems to prevent birds from roosting in the rafters. We also utilize ultrasonic devices and visual deterrents for larger open areas where netting isn't feasible.

4. Professional Guano Cleaning & Sanitization

Bird droppings are biological hazards. Pestisect provides professional cleaning services using HEPA vacuums and hospital-grade sanitizers to safely remove droppings and kill any associated pathogens or mites.

Frequently Asked Questions About Birds

Is it legal to remove a bird's nest in Ontario?
Most birds are protected under the Federal Migratory Birds Convention Act. It is generally illegal to disturb or destroy a nest if it contains active eggs or chicks. Pestisect technicians are trained to identify the species and ensure all removals are conducted legally during the appropriate window. (Note: Invasive species like pigeons and starlings are exempt from these protections).
These are likely bird mites. They live in the nest and feed on the birds. When the birds leave, the mites search for a new food source and often crawl through vents or windows into your home. We provide specialized mite treatments alongside bird removal to stop this.
No. Professional bird spikes are designed to be an uncomfortable landing spot, not a weapon. They simply prevent the bird from being able to find a stable flat place to perch, forcing them to find a different location to roost.
Yes. Pigeons love the warmth and protection provided by the gap under solar panels. This can lead to heavy guano buildup that reduces panel efficiency and can damage the wiring. Pestisect installs specialized “solar panel mesh” to block this gap permanently.
