Bird Control in Alberta
Birds nesting or roosting on your building can cause mess, damage and health concerns. Technica Pest Solutions inspects, excludes and cleans up for homes and businesses in Edmonton, Calgary and across Alberta.
Signs of a Bird Problem
A few birds passing through is normal. Ongoing nesting or roosting on a building is different. Here is what to look for.
Droppings on ledges and walkways
Nests in vents and soffits
Constant chirping or flapping
Birds gathering on the roof
Feathers and debris around entries
How We Handle Bird Problems
Our approach starts with an inspection and follows Alberta wildlife and migratory bird rules. We focus on keeping birds off your building, sealing the spots they use and cleaning up what they leave behind.
Inspection and Assessment
A technician looks at where birds land, nest and enter. We identify the species, check vents, soffits, ledges and rooftop equipment, and note any droppings or nesting material. You get a clear plan before any work starts.
Best for: Any property with birds roosting, nesting or gathering on the structure
Humane Exclusion and Deterrents
Where permitted, we install exclusion products such as vent covers, netting or ledge deterrents to keep birds from landing or nesting. Active nests are handled within Alberta wildlife and migratory bird rules, which may mean waiting until the nest is empty.
Best for: Vents, soffits, ledges, signs and rooftop units used by birds
Dropping Cleanup and Sanitizing
Bird droppings and nesting material can carry bacteria and fungi. We remove the mess, sanitize affected surfaces and seal entry points following Alberta Health standards, so the area is clean and less inviting to returning birds.
Best for: Attics, ledges, balconies, loading docks and rooftop areas with heavy droppings

Why Bird Problems Should Not Wait
Bird droppings are acidic and can stain and wear down roofing, paint and metal. Nests in vents can block airflow and create a fire risk in dryer ducts. Droppings and nesting material may carry bacteria, fungi and mites. The longer birds use a building, the more they treat it as home and the harder they are to move.
How to Keep Birds Off Your Building
Cover vents and openings
Remove food and water sources
Trim trees near the building
Act early in spring
Frequently asked questions
Can you remove a bird nest that already has eggs or chicks in it?
It depends on the species and the situation. Many birds and their nests have legal protection while active. We inspect first, explain what is allowed under Alberta wildlife and migratory bird rules, and time the exclusion work so it stays within those rules.
Which birds cause problems on buildings in Alberta?
Pigeons, house sparrows and starlings are typical building pests. They nest in vents, soffits, signs and rooftop equipment. Other species may need a different approach, so identifying the bird is the first step of every inspection.
Will the birds just come back after you leave?
Birds return to spots that worked for them before. That is why we focus on exclusion and cleanup, not just scaring them off. Sealing openings, covering vents and removing nesting material take away the reasons to return. A follow-up visit checks that everything is holding.
Are bird droppings dangerous to clean up myself?
Dried droppings can release dust that carries bacteria and fungi, so large buildups should be left to a trained crew with the right protective gear. We remove the material, sanitize the area and dispose of waste following Alberta Health standards. Small spots can be wiped with gloves and a mask.
