Starling Deterrents - Stop Starlings Nesting in Your Roof

Starlings roost and nest on horizontal surfaces on buildings and other structures that provide a small amount of shelter. Balconies, flat roofs, ledges, loft spaces and empty buildings are often used if the birds have access.

Starlings are commonly seen as pests due to the damage they cause to agriculture and urban areas . The primary problem starlings cause is due to their flocking and roosting in large numbers and the resultant large amount of droppings generated in one place.

Starling droppings are not only unsightly but can also cause long term damage to buildings. Droppings, nesting materials and feathers can block gutters and rainwater pipes causing blockages and water damage. Ladders and fire escapes coated in starling droppings become slippery and unsafe to use particularly in wet conditions.

Starlings Nesting in Your Roof

Starlings squeeze into small gaps under roof tiles, at the eaves and behind soffits and fascias. We seal these entry points with eaves guards, bird comb and mesh once the nesting season has finished, so birds can't get back into the roof space.

For large winter roosts on buildings and trees we use netting and deterrents tailored to the site.
