Problem
Birds Nesting on Building
Birds nesting on ledges, vents, signs, rooflines, and other structural features can create noise, droppings, blocked openings, and repeat activity. Borland Wildlife Solutions inspects the structure, identifies the nesting issue, and recommends practical control, exclusion, cleanup, and prevention steps. Let Borland Handle Your Wildlife!
Overview
Common nesting issues
Nesting activity on a structure is not always limited to one spot. Birds may use vents, signs, awnings, beams, ledges, gutters, roof transitions, and equipment areas depending on the species and the building design.
What problems can nesting cause?
Common issues include droppings on walkways and entrances, noise, blocked vents or drainage paths, staining on exterior surfaces, nesting material near equipment, and repeat use of the same protected area season after season.
Why inspection matters
The right response depends on the bird activity, the nesting location, access conditions, and whether young birds are present. A site inspection helps determine what can be addressed now and what should be scheduled after active nesting periods when needed.
Common control options
Depending on the situation, solutions may include exclusion, screening, ledge modification, vent protection, cleanup, sanitation, and changes that make the structure less attractive for future nesting.

Inspection
What Borland looks for
A professional inspection helps identify where birds are nesting, how they are accessing the structure, what damage or contamination is present, and which next steps make sense for the property.
Nesting locations
Borland checks rooflines, vents, ledges, signs, awnings, soffits, beams, loading areas, and other protected structural features where birds commonly settle.
Entry and repeat-use conditions
The inspection reviews why the area keeps attracting birds, including sheltered ledges, open gaps, favorable perching zones, and structural features that support repeated nesting.
Cleanup and repair needs
Borland evaluates droppings, nesting debris, staining, blocked openings, and any follow-up cleanup, restoration, or repair work that may be needed after control measures are completed.

Bird nesting FAQs
General guidance for structural bird-nesting issues. Site-specific recommendations depend on the property, the bird activity, and timing.
Are nesting birds always a problem?
Not every nesting situation requires the same response, but nesting on buildings can create sanitation, maintenance, access, and repeat-activity issues that should be evaluated.
Can Borland remove an active nest immediately?
That depends on the species, the nesting status, and applicable rules or timing considerations. Inspection comes first so the situation can be assessed properly.
What areas of a building attract nesting birds?
Common areas include ledges, signs, vents, roof edges, awnings, beams, soffits, and protected exterior features that offer shelter and support.
Is cleanup important after nesting activity?
Yes. Nesting debris and droppings can leave behind mess, odor, staining, and blocked areas. Cleanup needs vary by location and severity.
Can bird problems come back?
Yes. Without follow-up exclusion or structural improvements, birds may return to the same favorable nesting area.
What if I am not sure what bird is involved?
Borland can inspect the site, review the nesting location and signs, and help determine the most practical next step. Let Borland Handle Your Wildlife!
