Understanding Bird Problems in New Zealand

Birds can be more than a cheerful backdrop to a Kiwi morning — in many homes, businesses, and public spaces, they become pests. Pigeons, starlings, sparrows, and other bird species often roost on ledges, rooftops, and gutters, where their droppings cause damage, create hygiene issues, and pose health risks.

New Zealand’s urban and coastal environments provide ideal nesting spots for birds. When left unchecked, bird populations can cause property damage, block drainage, corrode structures, and even create slip hazards. Effective bird control is essential for long-term prevention and maintaining clean, safe premises.

How to Choose the Right Bird Control Method

Getting rid of birds or preventing their landing requires a holistic approach. Here’s how to decide which solution is best for your situation:

  1. Identify Your Bird Problem

    • Are birds roosting, nesting, or merely flying through?

    • What species are they? (Pigeons, seagulls, sparrows, etc.)

    • What areas are affected? (Roof, ledge, outdoor seating, garden)

  2. Determine the Right Control Strategy

    • Non-lethal deterrents: Use laser repellers, scare cannons, or reflective tape to discourage birds from settling.

    • Physical barriers: Bird netting, spikes, and discs can block access completely.

    • Chemical or sensory repellents: Use safe, odor-based deterrents that repel rather than harm.

  3. Choose Treatment for the Location

    • Roofs / ledges: Heavy-duty netting or stainless-steel spikes.

    • Open outdoor areas: Scare cannons (solar, mechanical, or electronic) provide active deterrence.

    • Indoor or confined spaces: Diffusers or repellent discs for closed environments.

  4. Maintain & Monitor

    • Reassess key roosting points regularly.

    • Replace or reposition deterrents as birds adapt or become desensitised.

    • Clean surfaces to remove droppings and reduce attraction.
