Pigeons, sparrows, and starlings nesting in warehouse rafters and loading dock canopies create real operating costs: contaminated inventory, slip hazards near receiving, OSHA exposure complaints, blocked sprinkler heads, and slow degradation of roofing and HVAC. Rid-A-Bird provides commercial bird control specifically built for warehouse and distribution-center pressure — heavy-duty exclusion netting with zippered access panels, after-hours install scheduling, and OSHA-compliant remediation crews who've done this hundreds of times.
The honest answer most pest companies won't tell you: trapping and population control alone don't work on warehouse pigeons. They'll be replaced within weeks by the next flock from the surrounding area. The only durable solution is exclusion — physically preventing birds from accessing the interior. That usually means floor-to-rafter netting across loading dock openings, full interior netting beneath the high-bay structure, screening on all wall and roof penetrations, and remediation of existing droppings before the exclusion goes up. Bird traps may be useful for active interior populations during the install phase, but they're not the solution.
High-bay light fixtures (especially older HID housings with open recesses), structural steel trusses, conveyor catwalks, mezzanine undersides, fire sprinkler pipe arrays, rooftop unit exteriors, loading dock canopies and dock-leveler pits, broken roof penetrations and vent screens, and dock-door rubber seals. Every assessment we do for a warehouse maps every active and historical nesting point — sealing 90% of access points just sends the birds to the remaining 10%.
Heavy-duty exclusion netting hung floor-to-ceiling across dock openings to eliminate the primary entry path birds use to access warehouse interiors.
Full interior netting with zippered access panels at every light fixture — maintenance keeps full access to bulbs and ballasts without compromising the bird seal.
Stainless steel spikes on structural steel beams, conveyor catwalks, and mezzanine undersides where birds attempt to perch.
Screening on roof vents, broken louvers, and HVAC unit exteriors to block re-entry from the roof side.
OSHA-compliant removal of existing droppings, nesting material, and contaminated insulation before the exclusion goes up.
Lift crews scheduled around your shift hours. Weekend and overnight installs available so receiving and shipping never stop.
