Common pests like pigeons, seagulls, and starlings can create health hazards through droppings, damage roofing and gutters, and disrupt your home or business environment. Protecting your property from these pests is crucial, and we offer tailored bird management solutions that are kind to birds while safeguarding your property from damage.
For over 50 years, Rentokil has been providing humane and effective bird control solutions designed to protect both commercial and residential properties from all species of pest birds. Our expert team uses a range of bird-proofing methods, including netting, spikes, wire systems, and electronic deterrents. Each solution is carefully selected to suit the specific bird species and site conditions, ensuring long-lasting prevention of nesting and roosting while complying with wildlife protection regulations.
Whether you need bird control for commercial buildings, warehouses, retail spaces, or homes, Rentokil offers reliable and professional services backed by decades of experience. Our approach balances effective pest management with kindness to birds, helping to keep your property safe, clean, and protected from bird damage.
For over 50 years, Rentokil Australia has delivered humane and highly effective bird control and proofing services, protecting both commercial and residential properties from pest bird problems with tailored expertise. We begin with a detailed site inspection, allowing our accredited technicians to assess risk zones, identify problem species, and ensure full compliance with local wildlife regulations.
Our suite of proven deterrent methods includes:
Rentokil bird nets are designed to exclude birds. Their aim is to prevent birds from roosting and nesting on roofing, crevices, and other areas. These nets are ideal for warehouses, loading docks, canopies, and large open structures. Custom-fitted for each site, they provide discreet and durable protection against all bird species.
Harmless and non-disruptive, Rentokil bird spikes offer long-term protection against birds for your business. This solution is not suitable for smaller bird species. Bird spikes are commonly used on ledges, signage, pipes, and external beams to prevent perching or nesting. Constructed from stainless steel or polycarbonate, they are weather-resistant and require minimal maintenance.
Rentokil’s electric bird deterrent, Flex Track, works on any flat surface to exclude birds. It is ideal for use on parapets, roof peaks, beams, and ledges. It delivers a gentle pulse that conditions birds to stay away without harm. The low-profile design makes it almost invisible from ground level, maintaining the visual appeal of your building.
Rentokil’s ‘Eagle Eye’ optical bird scarer reflects light bands to imitate the presence of a bird predator. It functions optimally in direct sunlight and can be powered by solar energy. Best suited for open spaces like rooftops, parking areas, and boat sheds, this solution is effective against pigeons, gulls, and other visual-sensing species. Multiple units can be used for wide coverage.
After installation, we offer ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure your site remains protected throughout the year. Our local team combines technical expertise with industry-backed methods to provide effective, long-term bird control solutions that help prevent health risks, property damage, and operational disruption.

Your bird control costs will ultimately reflect the time and effort it will take to minimise them from your home or business. The first step in determining the cost of bird control is fully understanding the problem. Birds settling on roofs or ledges? Damaged stock from pecking and bird fouling? Or continuous bird cries of young chicks all hours of the day?
To answer all the above questions, Rentokil will need to visit your property to inspect for birds. Following which, below factors will determine the most suitable bird treatment and its associated costs.
There are many different species of birds. Identifying the type and size of pest bird infestation plays a key role in the solutions your Rentokil technician will recommend.
The square footage of your property and premises will have a direct impact on the type of treatment used and the number of follow-up treatments required.
If many birds are present, or if there is a large roost established within your property, you may require more extensive treatment. Often, the current pest bird infestation will need to be managed before a permanent control solution is installed.
We provide a comprehensive range of bird control services including bird netting, bird spikes, electric bird deterrents, and optical bird scarer.
Our solutions are designed to effectively deter birds from roosting, nesting, and causing damage to properties while ensuring compliance with local regulations and ethical considerations.
Signs of a bird infestation may include large numbers of birds congregating on or around your property, nests in building structures or trees, and visible bird droppings on surfaces.

Bird control works by using deterrents or exclusion techniques that discourage birds from nesting, roosting, or landing in unwanted areas. Methods include bird netting, spikes, optical scarers, and electric deterrents. These solutions are designed to make surfaces less appealing or accessible to pest birds without causing harm.
Pest birds can damage property, contaminate areas with droppings, block gutters, and spread diseases. Their nesting habits may also create fire hazards or attract other pests, such as mites and insects.
To stop birds from flying into buildings or windows, consider using window decals, UV-reflective films, or external screens. Installing visual deterrents such as hanging objects or reflective tape near windows can also reduce reflections and help birds recognise barriers.
Professional bird control is more effective because it offers customised solutions based on the specific bird species and site conditions. Experts have access to a wider range of tools and deterrents, follow local wildlife regulations, and ensure humane, long-term results that DIY solutions often can’t provide.
Natural deterrents, such as reflective surfaces, predator decoys, and certain scents (like peppermint or citrus oils), may temporarily discourage birds. However, they typically provide short-term relief and are less effective in areas with high bird activity.
