Birds Nesting Control Service Melbourne
Pest birds nesting in your roof, gutters, solar panels or eaves? Martin Pest Control identifies the species, removes active nests where legally permitted, and installs the right combination of deterrents to stop birds returning — fully compliant with the Victorian Wildlife Act 1975 and APVMA-certified.
Scaring birds away or blocking one entry point without a structured proofing plan simply relocates the nest to another part of your property. Our licensed technicians install lasting solutions that end the problem for good. Book your inspection today.

Health & Legal Warning: Bird droppings and nesting material carry over 60 known diseases and parasites — including Histoplasma, Cryptococcus and Salmonella — and are classified as a biohazard in commercial food environments. Under the Victorian Wildlife Act 1975, most native bird species and their active nests are protected. Disturbing, removing or destroying a protected bird's active nest without the correct authorisation is a criminal offence carrying substantial fines. Always use a licensed professional.
Melbourne's Most Trusted Bird Nesting Control Specialists
We are a dedicated, fully licensed team with years of experience managing pest bird nesting on homes, commercial buildings, warehouses and body corporate properties across greater Melbourne. Pigeons, Indian mynas, common starlings, sparrows, seagulls — we identify the species, apply the correct legal approach and install durable proofing solutions that eliminate nesting access permanently.
APVMA-Certified Technician · Full protective gear on every job
Not all birds can be legally disturbed. We identify the species and confirm the correct legal pathway under the Victorian Wildlife Act 1975, advising on what can be removed, proofed, or deterred before any work begins.
Available every day of the year including weekends. Established nesting sites become more complex and expensive to treat, so we respond fast and prioritise jobs where nesting is actively in progress.
Every job is completed by fully licensed technicians operating in full compliance with the Victorian Wildlife Act. We carry full public liability insurance and use only humane, approved methods that are safe for wildlife and family.
Noise and visual deterrents are temporary; birds habituate to them. We install durable, physical exclusion barriers—stainless steel spikes, solar panel mesh, and UV-resistant netting—that make sites permanently inaccessible without harming birds.
Free on-site inspection and a fully itemised quote before any work begins. No hidden fees, no call-out charges. You decide the full scope and cost—tailored to your property, species, and location—before we start.
Every bird control job includes a written service report documenting species, treatment, and proofing installed. All physical installations carry a warranty—if birds breach the proofed area, we return and rectify at no additional cost.
What Melbourne Residents Are Saying
Found a massive hive under our eaves on a Sunday. Martin had a technician at our door within three hours. Professional, thorough and the hive was completely removed. Outstanding service — would not hesitate to call again.
Reasonable pricing, same-day response and the job was done properly first time. They inspected our full roof cavity, not just the visible nest. The technician explained every step clearly before starting. Very professional.
My daughter is severely allergic to bee stings so I was extremely worried. Martin came the same afternoon, treated the area with great care and gave us a full prevention report. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.
Bird Droppings and Nesting Material Carry Over 60 Known Diseases and Parasites
A Single Established Pigeon Colony in a Melbourne Roof Void Can Produce Hundreds of Kilograms of Contaminated Waste Per Year — Damaging Insulation, Blocking Gutters, Corroding Roofing and Triggering Bird Mite Infestations Inside the Building.
Complete Pest Control for Melbourne
Species-identified bird nesting control for roof voids, eaves, gutters, solar panels, ledges, warehouse rafters, signage and external building perimeters.

How We Control Bird Nesting — Step by Step
A species-specific, legally compliant approach that removes the nesting problem and prevents birds from re-establishing on your property.
Contact us 24/7. Tell us the bird type and where they are nesting. Do not disturb active nests before we arrive, as handling protected species without authorisation carries legal risks.
Our licensed technician arrives to identify the species, map nesting sites, assess structural entry points, and check for bird mite activity. We confirm the legal approach before recommending treatment.
Where permitted, we remove nests and sanitise contaminated surfaces. We then install physical barriers—spikes, UV-resistant netting, or solar mesh—tailored to the specific species and location.
Receive a written report documenting identification, treatments, and proofing. All physical installations carry a warranty—if birds breach the proofed area, we return and rectify at no cost.
Melbourne's Spring Nesting Season Runs from August Through December
Act Before Nests Are Established and Legally Protected. Indian mynas, pigeons and starlings begin scouting and establishing nesting sites from late winter across Melbourne. Once a nest contains eggs or chicks it becomes legally protected under Victorian law — regardless of the species — and removal options are severely restricted. Proofing before nesting season begins is always faster, simpler and far less expensive than managing an established colony mid-season.
How to Prevent Pest Birds from Nesting
Reflective tape, plastic owls, and ultrasonic devices are rarely effective beyond a few days. Urban Melbourne birds habituate to these rapidly. Physical exclusion is the only category that delivers lasting results.

Professional bird proofing installation on a Melbourne roof
Pigeons nesting under solar panels are Melbourne's fastest-growing complaint. UV-resistant mesh clipped to the panel frame eliminates access permanently, protecting your roof membrane and ensuring your panel warranties remain valid.
Sparrows and starlings exploit gaps in eaves and broken tiles in Melbourne’s period homes. Sealing these access points with stainless steel mesh before the August nesting season prevents colonies from establishing in your roof void.
When birds vacate a nest, mites often migrate into the building looking for a new host. We inspect for mite activity at every job and provide targeted insecticide treatment where nesting has been longstanding to prevent indoor infestations.
A late-winter inspection (July to August) identifies new structural access points and checks existing proofing for damage. This proactive approach secures your property before Melbourne's spring nesting season begins.
