Top-Rated Bird Control and Prevention Services
Bird Control
At Metrovan Pest Control, we offer a wide range of bird control services designed to protect your
property from the damaging effects of nuisance birds. Birds such as pigeons, seagulls, and sparrows
can cause significant damage to buildings, machinery, and vehicles with their droppings, feathers,
and nests. These issues not only lead to costly repairs and maintenance but also pose serious health
risks by spreading diseases and parasites.
Our Integrated Bird Control Solutions provide long-lasting protection while ensuring humane
treatment of birds, fully compliant with British Columbia’s environmental and wildlife regulations.
Why Managing Pest Birds is Essential
Pest birds not only cause structural damage to properties but also pose serious health risks by
spreading diseases and parasites. Their droppings can corrode building materials, block drainage
systems, and contaminate food and water sources. Additionally, many of these birds, like starlings
and swallows, are highly protective of their nesting areas and can become aggressive, further
increasing the risks to property owners.
At Metrovan Pest Control, we use humane, eco-friendly bird control solutions that effectively
manage these pest bird populations, protecting your property from costly damage and ensuring
compliance with all provincial and federal wildlife regulations.
Our Bird Control Services Include
- Bird Netting: A versatile and effective solution, bird netting acts as a physical barrier to prevent birds from accessing specific areas such as rooftops, loading docks, and HVAC units. This method is ideal for protecting against larger bird species like pigeons and seagulls.
- Bird Spikes: Designed to deter birds from perching on ledges, signs, and other narrow surfaces, bird spikes create an uneven surface that prevents roosting without causing harm to the birds.
- Shock Track Systems: This low-profile electrical track delivers a harmless yet effective deterrent shock to birds, preventing them from landing or nesting on your property. It’s ideal for areas where aesthetics and discretion are important.
- Bird Wire Systems: For areas like fences, parapets, and ledges, our bird wire systems create tensioned wires that make it difficult for birds to perch, keeping your property bird-free.
- Laser Bird Control: Our state-of-the-art laser systems are used to keep birds away from large open spaces like parking lots and warehouses. The harmless laser lights frighten the birds, encouraging them to leave without causing harm.
- Humane Trapping and Relocation: When necessary, we provide safe and responsible bird trapping and relocation services, ensuring birds are moved away from your property without injury or stress.

The Most Common Pest Birds We Deal With:
Pigeons
Often referred to as “city birds,” pigeons are one of the most common pest species in British
Columbia. They are attracted to urban areas where food and shelter are abundant. Pigeon droppings
are acidic and can cause significant damage to building exteriors, rooftops, and machinery.
Additionally, pigeons are known carriers of diseases like histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, making
control essential.
Seagulls
Seagulls are commonly found near coastal regions and inland areas with large bodies of water. They
are particularly problematic around restaurants, marinas, and commercial buildings, where food
sources attract them. Seagulls are aggressive when nesting and can cause damage to roofs and
ventilation systems. Their droppings can also spread diseases and create slippery, unsafe conditions
on sidewalks and outdoor surfaces.
Starlings
European starlings are an invasive species in British Columbia and are known for flocking in large
numbers. These birds often nest in building cavities, vents, and rooftops, causing property damage.
Starlings are also responsible for contaminating food and water sources in agricultural settings,
making them a significant concern for farms and food storage facilities.
Sparrows
House sparrows are small but problematic, especially in urban and suburban environments. They
nest in roof spaces, wall voids, and gutters, causing blockages and structural issues. Sparrows can
also introduce parasites such as mites and fleas into buildings, leading to further health hazards.
CROWS
Crows are intelligent and resourceful, often scavenging for food in residential neighborhoods,
landfills, and urban areas. While they typically avoid humans, they can be aggressive when protecting
their nests. Crows can damage crops, disrupt garbage areas, and create noisy disturbances in
addition to leaving droppings that contribute to property damage.
Swallows
Known for building mud nests on vertical surfaces, such as walls and under eaves, swallows can
cause aesthetic and structural damage to buildings. Their nests can also harbor insects and
parasites, creating additional concerns. As swallows are a protected species under the Migratory
Birds Convention Act, control must be conducted in a humane and compliant manner.
