Bird Nest Removal Services

Professional Bird Nest Removal for a cleaner, safer property

While birds are part of the natural environment, when they decide to nest on your property, they can cause a range of issues. Nesting birds can create noise, mess, odours, and potential health hazards, while their droppings can damage gutters, roofs, solar panels, and other surfaces. At Scorpion Pest Management, we provide professional bird nest removal services to protect your property and maintain a safe, clean space.

Many people only realise they have birds in their roof when they are woken to the sound of nesting. There are very few bird species in Tasmania that will nest in your roof space or under the eaves and most commonly we find starlings and Sparrows are the main culprits.

The common Starling and House Sparrow are in the top 3 most common birds seen in Tassie’s backyards. Both species build large, untidy nests in and around human habitation, such as roof voids, tree hollows or even wall crevices. Both introduced to Australia in the mid 1900’s, their populations have since exploded due to their ability to feed on a wide variety of food, such as insects, berries, and food scraps discarded by people. These birds are known for their adaptability and can thrive in a wide range of habitats, including urban areas.

Starlings

Starlings are tiny to medium-sized birds with comparable male and female appearances. Their glossy black feathers have an iridescent green and purple shine. They might appear completely black from a distance. After moulting in the autumn, the new feathers have light tips, giving the birds a speckled look.

Sparrows

Sparrows’ legs, feet, and eyes of the male and female are brown, and their beaks are black. Male sparrows have two white streaks on their wings, a grey tail, and a darker underside than female sparrows.

Why nesting birds can be a problem

Health Risks: Bird droppings and nesting materials can harbor bacteria, parasites, and mites.
Property Damage: Nesting can block gutters, damage roofing materials, and affect solar panels.
Recurring Activity: Birds often return year after year to the same locations, increasing the likelihood of repeated problems.
Noise & Mess: Nests can create noise and unsightly droppings around your property

Health risks

Bird droppings from starlings and sparrows can accumulate in urban areas, on buildings, and in public spaces. In some cases, these droppings can harbor bacteria or fungi that may pose health risks if people come into contact with them. Histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and salmonellosis are among the illnesses related with bird droppings. Inhalation of airborne particles or direct contact with contaminated surfaces can both transfer these illnesses to people.

Property Damage

Because bird droppings are acidic, they can eventually damage building components including metal, concrete, and wood. Structures may be harmed as a result, necessitating expensive repairs. Uric acid in bird droppings can remove paint from surfaces, leaving them prone to severe weather damage.

Environmental Impact

Bird droppings can build up in bodies of water, causing water quality problems and potentially harming aquatic life. Excessive bird droppings can harm plants by compromising plant health and development.
