Bird Pest Control Services in Dublin
Birds nesting on your property? Pigeons, gulls, and starlings can cause major disruption, structural damage, and serious health risks. Our expert bird pest control services offer safe, effective solutions tailored to residential, commercial, and industrial sites.
Common Problem Birds in Ireland
The most frequent bird pests we deal with in Dublin and the surrounding areas include:
- Feral pigeons – often nesting in roof voids, balconies, and ledges
- Seagulls – noisy, aggressive, and known for rooftop nesting
- Starlings – enter small gaps and vents; gather in large, noisy flocks
These birds are highly adaptable and can rapidly colonise buildings, especially those with flat roofs or open access points.
Why Bird Infestations Are a Serious Problem
Birds may seem harmless, but when they choose your property to nest or roost, the consequences can be severe:
- Acidic droppings corrode paint, metal, and masonry
- Noise and aggression from territorial birds (especially gulls)
- Blocked gutters and ventilation from nesting materials
- Health risks from bacteria and parasites like mites, fleas, and ticks
- Legal liability in commercial or food premises for unsanitary conditions
Signs of a Bird Pest Problem
Not sure if you have an infestation? Look for these key indicators:
- Build-up of droppings on windowsills, walkways, or cars
- Flapping or cooing noises from roofs, attics, or voids
- Feathers and nesting debris blocking drainage or ventilation
- Aggressive bird behaviour during nesting season
- Damaged or disturbed solar panels and roof tiles
If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to act—before the problem escalates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes—certain birds are protected under Irish and EU law. Only licensed professionals may disturb nests, and only in specific circumstances. Our methods are fully compliant with regulations outlined by the National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) and the EU Birds Directive, which protect wild birds, their nests, eggs, and habitats from disturbance.
The most effective long-term solutions include bird netting and spikes to block access. We assess your property to recommend the best deterrents.
Absolutely. Bird faeces carry bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and fungal spores, posing risks to humans—especially in food and healthcare environments. According to HSE Ireland and the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC), individuals should avoid contact with wild bird droppings and wash hands thoroughly if exposed. This helps prevent zoonotic diseases such as psittacosis and avian influenza.
