Bird nest removal requires more than simply taking a nest down. Before any work is carried out, GTA Pest Solutions assesses the nest location, identifies the bird species, and checks whether the nest is active. This is particularly important when dealing with pigeon nests, roof nests, or nests around building openings, where disturbance may affect birds or eggs.
Under Canada’s Migratory Birds Regulations, migratory bird nests are generally protected when they contain a live bird or viable egg. Certain species have additional year-round nest protections, and other federal or provincial requirements may apply depending on the situation.
For this reason, we assess active nests before carrying out bird nest removal or nest-related work. Where removal or disturbance requires authorization, the applicable requirements must be followed. Once the nesting situation has been assessed, we can explain the appropriate next step for the property.
Pigeons can become a recurring problem when they nest or roost around rooftops, balconies, ledges, vents, and other parts of a property. Their droppings can stain surfaces, create odour, and lead to ongoing cleaning and maintenance concerns. GTA Pest Solutions provides pigeon control and pigeon removal in Toronto for residential and commercial properties.
We assess where pigeons are nesting or gathering and check for active nests before removal work. Where appropriate, pigeon nest removal can be followed by measures to reduce access and prevent pigeons from returning. If pigeons have caused droppings or property damage, we can also assess the affected areas and recommend suitable next steps.

Pigeons, house sparrows, European starlings, and gulls can all create different nesting, roosting, and property-management challenges. Identifying the species matters because nesting behaviour, exclusion methods, and legal requirements can vary.

02House sparrows may nest in small gaps, signs, and sheltered openings around buildings, sometimes leaving nesting material in unwanted places.

03Starlings commonly nest in cavities around eaves, vents, and roof spaces. Their nesting activity can create noise and may obstruct building openings.

04Some gulls nest on flat rooftops and gather around food sources. Nesting activity and droppings can create concerns for occupied buildings and commercial spaces.
ROOFTOPS · COMMERCIAL SPACESThe right bird control method depends on the bird species, the area affected, and where birds are landing or nesting. GTA Pest Solutions assesses the problem and recommends suitable deterrents or exclusion methods for residential and commercial properties across Toronto and the GTA.
01Discourage pigeons and other birds from landing on ledges, roof edges, signs, and beams with professionally installed bird spikes.
02Help prevent birds from accessing larger enclosed areas, sheltered spaces, and structures where they repeatedly gather or nest.
03Discourage birds from settling on selected ledges and architectural surfaces with discreet bird wire deterrent systems.
04Protect vulnerable openings, vents, soffit gaps, and nesting areas to help prevent birds from entering unwanted spaces.
The aim is to choose a practical bird prevention solution for the specific problem rather than applying the same method to every property.
We start by understanding where birds are nesting, roosting, or entering the property, then recommend the appropriate removal and prevention approach for the situation.
We inspect the affected areas, identify the bird species, and locate nesting sites and entry points. We also check for active nests and relevant wildlife protections before recommending the next steps.
Where removal is appropriate and legally permitted, we address the bird problem using a method suited to the species and location. The approach may differ for birds nesting in roof spaces, occupying vents, or gathering around commercial buildings.
Bird droppings and nesting debris can leave affected areas dirty and create sanitation concerns. Where cleanup is required, we assess the extent of the buildup and recommend appropriate cleaning measures.
To help prevent recurring problems, we identify vulnerable areas where birds can land, nest, or enter. Depending on the property, suitable measures may include bird spikes, netting, or protection for vents and other openings.
After the work, we can advise on practical ways to reduce repeat bird activity, including maintaining installed deterrents and addressing conditions that attract birds. Any follow-up requirements depend on the property and the work carried out.
Every property is different, so we select the control method based on the bird species, location, access points, and condition of the site.
Ready to get a proper system installed?
Birds can cause property damage when nesting and roosting continue in the same area. Bird droppings can stain surfaces, damage finishes, create unpleasant odours, and build up around drainage systems and equipment. Nesting material can also block gutters, vents, and other areas that need to remain clear.
Heavy droppings buildup can create sanitation and health concerns, particularly where people regularly use the affected space. Dried droppings may also become airborne when disturbed, making proper bird droppings cleanup important in heavily contaminated areas.
For businesses, ongoing bird activity can mean more frequent cleaning, unpleasant conditions for customers and staff, and additional property maintenance. Addressing the source of the problem early can help limit further bird damage and cleanup costs.

Bird control costs depend on the bird species, size and location of the affected area, access conditions, the type of deterrent required, and whether cleanup is needed. A property assessment allows the scope of work to be determined before providing a quote.
The appropriate approach depends on whether the nest is active and which legal protections apply. Bird nests can be protected under federal and provincial rules, so the species and condition of the nest should be assessed before removal.
Gulls and their nests may be protected under federal migratory bird regulations. Active nests containing a live bird or viable egg generally cannot be disturbed without authorization, and additional protections can apply to certain species.
Properly selected and installed bird spikes and exclusion netting are designed as physical deterrents that prevent birds from accessing specific areas rather than trapping them. Installation should be appropriate for the bird species and property.
Yes. Our pigeon control Toronto commercial programs include documentation suitable for property managers, auditors, and health inspectors on request.
Cleanup alone may not prevent repeat activity. Long-term control usually combines cleanup with appropriate deterrents, exclusion, habitat modification, or access-point protection.
