Typical Cost in East York
$150–$500
Final cost depends on severity, property size, and treatment method.
East York is one of Toronto's most characterful districts, known for its tightly packed post-war bungalows, brick duplexes, and leafy residential streets. Thorncliffe Park's high-rise towers face cockroach and bed bug challenges typical of multi-unit living, while detached homes in Leaside and Pape Village contend with mice entering through aging mortar joints. The Don River valley runs directly through the district, delivering raccoons, skunks, and squirrels into backyards across the area. Taylor-Massey Creek adds another green corridor where wildlife activity concentrates before spilling into residential streets. PestRecord connects East York residents with licensed pest control professionals familiar with the district's housing stock and pest pressures.
Our Bird Removal Process in East York
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 in East York
-
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.
