1. Analyze the Problem
Identify type and number of birds causing the problem. Note the areas they are landing and roosting. Eliminate food and water sources if possible.
2. Research Available Bird Control Products
Choose a reliable company that offers free technical support and installation plans. Don’t make your decision on price alone. Consider maintenance costs, product life-span and installation costs when comparing price and value.
3. Consider using a combination of products if necessary
The products you choose depend on the size and number of birds, the types of areas wish to protect, and a host of other factors. The most effective, durable, and economical devices are “bird spikes” and "bird netting", providing they are of quality construction, and installed properly. Other bird control products such as post and wire deterrents, non-lethal chemical repellents, and scare devices have their place in some situations.
4. Plan the installation properly
Decide if you want to install the bird control products yourself or have a qualified contractor do the job for you. Either way, make sure that all areas have been carefully measured per manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that you order the correct amount of materials. Reliable bird control manufactures will offer free planning assistance and can also recommend a qualified installer if needed.
5. Clean and Prep with Caution
Thoroughly cleaning, disinfecting and deodorizing the surface is imperative in order to protect people from bird-borne diseases. It also discourages pest birds from following the scent back to their old roosts.

6. Install Bird Control Products Correctly
When installing bird control products make sure you follow the manufactures instructions exactly. Cutting corners will only waist your money and effort.
