"Birds were nesting right in the corner above our front door. The mess was awful. Good Guy Pest Control removed the nest, cleaned the area, and put up spikes so they can't land there anymore. Fantasti..."
Positive: Quality"We had Mynas nesting in the roof and we were getting bitten by mites. The team treated the mites and blocked all the entry holes with mesh. Highly recommend."
Positive: Professionalism"Great service. They cleared out the pigeon nest under our solar panels and installed mesh. No more noise at 5am!"
Positive: ResponsivenessWhy You Must Remove Nests Fast
Birds nesting on your property might look harmless, but the longer they stay, the harder they are to remove. Their presence introduces significant risks to your home, business, and health.
60+ Transmittable Diseases
Birds and their nesting materials can carry dangerous diseases like Salmonellosis, Psittacosis, and E. coli which can be transmitted to humans.
Fire Hazard
Dry nesting materials packed into roof corners, gutters, and near downlights are highly flammable and create a serious fire risk.
Bird Mite Infestation
When birds nest in your roof, thousands of tiny bird mites breed. If the birds leave, these mites migrate into your bedrooms biting humans.
Acidic Damage
Bird droppings have high uric acid content. This corrodes gutters, stains car paint, and eats into building materials, causing costly damage.
Business Liability
For businesses, droppings are a slip-and-fall hazard. Contamination of food inventory can lead to health code violations and closures.
Blocked Gutters & Flooding
Nests often block gutters and downpipes, leading to water overflow during rain which can damage your eaves and internal ceilings.
Common Melbourne Pest Birds
Indian Myna
Aggressive and territorial. They evict native birds and build messy, large nests in roof cavities and eaves. A major suburban pest.
Feral Pigeon
The #1 commercial pest. Their corrosive droppings damage buildings. They love nesting under solar panels and on high ledges.
House Sparrow
Small but persistent. They can squeeze into tiny gaps in eaves, roller doors, and vents to build nests inside structures.
Common Starling
They flock in large numbers, creating massive amounts of mess and noise. They often nest in hollow walls and roof voids.
Seagull
A major issue for coastal properties and flat commercial roofs. They are loud, aggressive, and their droppings are substantial.
Comprehensive Bird Control Solutions
Bird Spikes
UV-stabilized polycarbonate or stainless steel spikes. Best for ledges, gutters, and roof peaks to stop roosting.
Bird Netting
Heavy-duty polyethylene netting. A 100% effective physical barrier for large areas like courtyards or warehouses.
Nest Removal
Physical removal of nest, eggs, and chicks (if pest species). Essential to remove the source of mites.
Solar Mesh
Specialized stainless steel mesh clipped around solar panels to prevent pigeons nesting underneath.
Bird Wire
A discreet, low-profile tension wire system often used on architectural ledges where spikes are unsightly.
Trapping
Humane trapping programs for high-population areas where exclusion alone isn't enough (e.g., warehouses).
Repairs
We fix the hole in the eave, replace broken tiles, and seal gaps to physically block re-entry.
Sanitization
Chemical treatment of the nesting site to kill bird mites, lice, and harmful bacteria left behind.
Why Choose Us For Bird Control?
The "Handyman" Advantage
Most pest controllers just scare birds away. We are licensed handymen. We repair the damage they caused, fix the entry holes, and clean your gutters while we are up there.
Humane & Legal Solutions
We strictly follow the Victorian Wildlife Act. We use humane deterrents that encourage birds to move on without causing them harm or distress.
Long-Term Warranties
We don't do quick fixes. Our physical barriers (mesh, spikes) come with installation warranties. If they get back in, we fix it for free.
Bird Control Step-by-Step
Site Inspection & Risk Assessment
We inspect your property to identify the bird species, population size, and main roosting areas. We assess health risks, access requirements (heights), and potential fire hazards.
Removal, Cleaning & Sanitization
We safely remove existing nests, eggs, and droppings. This removes the immediate bio-hazard. We then treat the area for bird mites to protect your family.
Implementation of Deterrents
We install the customized solution (spikes, netting, or mesh) using industry-approved methods. We also perform any necessary handyman repairs to eaves or tiles.
Long-Term Exclusion & Follow Up
Our goal is permanent exclusion. We ensure birds cannot easily return. For commercial clients, we offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep the property bird-free.
Bird Control FAQ
For introduced pest species like Indian Mynas, Starlings, and Pigeons, it is legal to remove nests and eggs. For native birds, we comply strictly with Victorian Wildlife laws and focus on exclusion (proofing) rather than harm.
Bird mites feed on the blood of birds. When the chicks leave the nest (or if the birds are removed), the mites look for a new host: YOU. They migrate through ceiling vents and cracks. It is crucial to treat the nest area for mites during removal.
No. Bird spikes are a visual and physical deterrent that prevents birds from landing comfortably. They are blunt and do not stab the bird; they simply force the bird to find a new place to roost.
Every job is different depending on access (height of roof) and the extent of the infestation. We provide transparent pricing starting from $200 for basic removal, but proofing (spikes/netting) is quoted onsite to ensure accuracy.
