Bird Removal in Toronto & GTA
Pigeons and sparrows cause damage and health risks in GTA properties. Bird removal requires exclusion — netting, spikes, and wire systems — to prevent roosting. Dead birds near structures attract other pests. Dropping cleanup is a serious health matter.

Pigeons and sparrows are the two bird species that cause the most problems at GTA properties. Pigeons roost on rooftops, ledges, and building facades in large numbers, leaving droppings that accumulate into a serious health hazard. House sparrows nest in building eaves, roof vents, and balcony structures, and their droppings and nesting material create fire hazards near electrical equipment.
Pigeon droppings contain histoplasmosis fungus, which causes respiratory illness when inhaled. Large accumulations of pigeon droppings on commercial rooftops and near ventilation intakes are a documented health hazard requiring professional remediation. In addition to the health risk, bird nests in roof vents block airflow and trap moisture that rots the surrounding structure.
Bird removal is an exclusion game, not a trapping game. Trapping birds is largely ineffective because new birds simply move in. The goal is to make roosting physically impossible using netting, spikes, and wire systems — and to clean and decontaminate any area with significant droppings.
How It Works
What to expect when you work with licensed bird removal professionals.
Inspection
The technician identifies the bird species, maps all roosting and nesting locations, and assesses the extent of the infestation. Pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and house finches each have different nesting habits and require different control methods.
Treatment
Bird netting is installed over roof areas, eaves, and balconies where birds roost. Bird spikes are applied to ledges and flat surfaces. Wire systems are installed where netting is not practical. The goal is to make roosting physically impossible without harming the birds.
Prevention
Bird droppings are cleaned and disinfected with commercial-grade enzyme cleaners. Nesting material is removed. Follow-up inspection 2–4 weeks after installation confirms the exclusion is holding. Annual inspections are recommended for commercial properties.

Why Hire a Professional
-
Pigeon droppings contain histoplasmosis fungus — a respiratory illness. Large accumulations on commercial rooftops require professional remediation with proper PPE.
-
Birds nest in eave troughs and roof vents, causing blockages and water damage. A single sparrow nest in a roof vent can block airflow and trap moisture that rots surrounding wood.
-
DIY bird spikes are installed incorrectly 80% of the time. Professional installation ensures the system actually works.
-
In Ontario, many native bird species are protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act. A professional knows which species require special handling.
-
Without exclusion, birds simply move to a different part of the same building. Professional bird control addresses every roosting and nesting site simultaneously.
