Question 1

Are your bird control methods humane?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use exclusion (spike, netting, post-and-wire), methods that make a surface uncomfortable to land on without injuring the bird. Australia's native bird species are also legally protected, so anything more aggressive isn't an option. The goal is for the birds to choose somewhere else.

Question 2

What's involved in installing bird spikes or netting?

Accepted Answer

We assess the site to identify the landing surfaces (ledges, signage, awnings), recommend the right product (stainless spike for ledges, knotted netting for large open spans, post-and-wire for HVAC tops), and quote for installation. Most jobs need an EWP or scaffold, and we coordinate that into the quote.

Question 3

How do you handle protected wildlife like possums?

Accepted Answer

Possums are protected under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act, so they can't be relocated more than 50m from where they were trapped. We humanely trap, hold them in a calm spot, and release within the compliance radius. Then we install one-way exit doors so they can leave the roof but not re-enter, and seal the entry points behind them so the roof stays possum-free.

Question 4

Do you provide ongoing bird-proofing maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most spike and netting installs are one-and-done, but commercial sites benefit from an annual inspection, as netting can sag, spikes can be dislodged by birds testing the perimeter, and gutters need to stay clear so birds don't try to nest there instead. We bundle this into commercial maintenance plans where it makes sense.
