Bird Proofing
Bird Proofing Melbourne
Gutters and drainage pipes are standard features on any roof, but they can also provide ingress points for pests, rodents, and, most commonly, birds. Graceful as they are, birds can cause incredible damage to your roof and home, especially invasive species like Indian Mynas, Pigeons, and Starlings, who nest wherever they find an opportunity. This issue becomes particularly urgent during spring, as this is the peak nesting season when these birds are most determined to find a secure place to raise their young.
Keep Birds Out of Your Roof
Secure your home with Melbourne’s premier bird proofing specialists at MP&G. While we are renowned for our expert gutter guard installations, our services extend to a complete pest protection system designed to fortify your entire roofing structure. Our unique method involves enmeshing and sealing any weak points found in your gutters, drainage pipes, and the critical gaps around your roofline. This creates a powerful, lasting barrier that keeps persistent pests out for good.
Stop birds from clogging your gutters, prevent possums from squeezing into your eaves, and ensure your drainage pipes remain clear and functional. The MP&G pest protection system is adaptable to any property, effectively securing everything from standard gutters to large, industrial box gutters. Our technicians are trained to think like pests, identifying and covering every potential entry point, including hidden gaps in roof channels and valleys.
Protect your investment and gain peace of mind. With MP&G, you can rest assured that your home is shielded from the risks of pest infestation and water damage, helping it to remain a safe, sturdy, and pest-free environment for you and your family.
Birds can Cause a Lot of Damage! Here are the Facts
- When birds get in undetected, they can cause a lot of damage and block your water drainage system.
- Birds may leave seasonally, but usually return to areas they consider safe, meaning you could have generations of pests year after year.
- Indian Mynas are the most common pest, but Pigeons with their corrosive poop often cause the most damage as they can bring their entire flock back to roost.
- Pigeons will often nest under solar panels if they can’t find a way into your roof. This usually happens on roofs that are at least two stories in height.
- Nests can build up in gutters, causing water blockages, and at worse, fire hazards, especially during bushfire season.
- Beyond the structural damage, their nesting materials and droppings introduce significant health risks, carrying bacteria, fungi, and parasites like bird mites, which can easily find their way into your home.
