Bird Control

Bird Control in Singapore

While birds are a natural part of the urban ecosystem, certain species can become pests when they roost or nest in unwanted areas. In Singapore, bird-related issues are common in residential buildings, commercial properties, and food establishments. Pest birds such as pigeons, mynas, and crows can cause property damage, create sanitation problems, and pose health risks due to droppings and parasites.

Common Pest Bird Species in Singapore

  • Pigeons (Columba livia): Often found in urban areas; known for roosting on ledges, rooftops, and air-conditioning units.
  • Common mynas (Acridotheres tristis): Aggressive and noisy; known to nest in roof voids and vents.
  • Crows (Corvus spp.): Intelligent and highly adaptable; may scavenge waste in large groups, creating noise and mess.

Professional Bird Control Methods
Bird control in Singapore must comply with wildlife protection laws while effectively deterring pest birds. Licensed pest control companies offer a range of humane and environmentally responsible solutions:

  • Bird Spikes: Installed on ledges, signs, and beams to prevent birds from landing or roosting.
  • Netting Systems: Discreet nets that block birds from entering open spaces such as balconies, loading bays, and roof voids.
  • Bird Repellent Gels and Sprays: Non-toxic substances that make surfaces sticky or unappealing to birds.
  • Trapping and Relocation: Where permitted by authorities, humane trapping and removal of pest birds may be employed under controlled conditions.
