Braddon Bird Proofing stands as a dedicated leader in avian pest management, providing comprehensive and humane bird control solutions to the Canberra community. As a locally owned and operated business based in Braddon, we have developed an intimate understanding of the specific bird species and environmental factors that impact properties throughout the Australian Capital Territory. Our mission is to protect the health, safety, and assets of our clients through effective, science-based exclusion and deterrent strategies.

Canberra’s unique landscape—characterized by its abundant parks and leafy suburbs—provides an ideal habitat for several pest bird species, most notably the Feral Pigeon, the Common Starling, and the invasive Indian Myna. While these birds are a common sight, their presence on residential and commercial buildings can lead to significant issues. Bird droppings are highly acidic and can cause permanent damage to paintwork, stone, and metal surfaces if left untreated. Furthermore, nesting materials can block gutters and drainage systems, leading to water damage, while the presence of nests often introduces secondary pests such as bird mites, lice, and carpet beetles into the structure.

One of the most pressing modern challenges for Canberra homeowners is the protection of solar energy systems. Solar panels provide the perfect sheltered environment for pigeons to roost and nest, which not only reduces the efficiency of the panels due to the buildup of debris and guano but also poses a fire risk. Braddon Bird Proofing specializes in professional solar panel bird proofing, using high-quality, corrosion-resistant mesh and clips that require no drilling into the panels themselves. This ensures your warranty remains intact while effectively barring birds from accessing the underside of your array.

Our service suite is built on a foundation of "Exclusion First." We believe that the most effective way to manage bird populations is to make the environment unattractive or inaccessible to them. Our technicians are experts in the installation of various physical deterrents, including:

* Bird Netting: We use heavy-duty, UV-resistant polyethylene netting to seal off large areas such as balconies, plant rooms, and loading docks. Our installations are designed to be as discreet as possible, preserving the visual appeal of your property.

* Bird Spikes: For ledges, parapets, and signage, we install premium stainless steel spikes that prevent birds from landing and roosting without causing them physical harm.

* Acoustic and Visual Deterrents: In specific environments where physical barriers may not be feasible, we utilize advanced ultrasonic devices and visual cues to discourage birds from congregating.

* Sanitization and Cleanup: We don't just stop the birds; we clean up the mess they left behind. Our team provides professional pressure washing and biocidal treatments to safely remove hazardous droppings and nesting materials, ensuring your property is returned to a hygienic state.

At Braddon Bird Proofing, we are committed to the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility. All our methods are compliant with the ACT Nature Conservation Act, and we prioritize humane treatments that do not harm local wildlife. We understand that every property is different, which is why we begin every project with a thorough site assessment. This allows us to identify the specific entry points and behavioral patterns of the birds on-site, enabling us to design a customized solution that offers long-term protection.
