Final cost depends on severity, property size, and treatment method.
Pickering sits at Durham Region's western edge, where suburban communities meet the Rouge River valley and extensive conservation lands. The city's mix of established 1970s-80s homes in Bay Ridges and Dunbarton with newer builds in Amberlea and Liverpool creates diverse pest challenges. Rouge National Urban Park borders Pickering's western edge, delivering raccoons, deer mice, coyotes, and other wildlife directly into residential areas. The Duffins Creek corridor running through central Pickering adds another major wildlife highway. Older homes face mice and ant entry through aging foundations, while newer properties contend with construction-gap rodent issues. PestRecord connects Pickering residents with licensed pest control professionals.
Our Bird Removal Process in Pickering
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 Pickering
-
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.
