Bird Control Services in Nairobi, Kenya

• Nuisance birds — particularly pigeons, sparrows, mynahs, and starlings — cause significant problems on commercial and residential buildings across Nairobi through fouling, noise, and structural damage.
• Bird droppings are highly acidic, corrosive, and carry fungal and bacterial pathogens including histoplasmosis and salmonellosis that pose health risks to building occupants.
• Professional bird control uses humane deterrent systems — including spikes, netting, wire systems, and electronic deterrents — rather than lethal methods.
• Building ledges, rooftops, HVAC equipment, signage, and solar panels are commonly affected areas that require targeted bird proofing.
• Regular cleaning and disinfection of bird fouling deposits is an essential part of any bird management programme.
• Bestcare Facilities Management provides expert bird control and proofing services for commercial and residential properties across Nairobi and Kenya.

Pigeons and other pest bird species have adapted remarkably well to urban environments, and Nairobi’s commercial buildings provide them with everything they need — sheltered ledges for roosting and nesting, abundant food scraps, and minimal natural predators. What may appear to be a minor nuisance is, in practice, a significant maintenance and health management issue. A single pigeon produces approximately 12 kilograms of droppings per year. Multiply this across a roost of fifty birds on a building facade, and the accumulation of fouling causes rapid deterioration of surfaces, blockage of gutters and drains, damage to mechanical equipment, and a persistent health hazard for staff and visitors.

Professional bird control does not involve harming birds — it focuses on excluding them from buildings through the installation of physical deterrent systems that make roosting and nesting on the building impractical, combined with thorough cleaning and disinfection of existing fouling deposits. When properly installed and maintained, bird deterrent systems provide years of reliable, low-maintenance protection.

Types of Bird Control Services

Bird Spikes are stainless steel or polycarbonate pin arrays fixed to ledges, parapets, signage, and other flat or curved surfaces, making them uncomfortable for birds to land on. Spikes are the most widely used and cost-effective bird deterrent for general ledge protection.

Bird Netting physically excludes birds from large areas such as roof voids, building facades, courtyards, and loading bays by installing a UV-stabilised polypropylene mesh net across the opening or area to be protected.

Tensioned Wire Systems use stainless steel wire strung at varying heights across ledges and beams, creating an unstable landing surface that deters birds without obstructing the architectural appearance of the building.

Electric Deterrent Systems deliver a mild, harmless electric shock to birds that land on treated surfaces, conditioning them to avoid the area. These are used for high-pressure roosting situations where other methods have proven insufficient.

Bird Fouling Cleaning and Disinfection involves the safe removal of accumulated bird droppings using specialist cleaning agents and pressure washing, followed by disinfection to eliminate pathogens and neutralise the acidic residue that corrodes building surfaces.
