There’s nothing like the sound of birds singing as you wake up in the morning. Unless, of course, those birds are nesting in your roof and wreaking havoc.<\/p>\n

Not only do these feathered creatures leave droppings that can stain and corrode your roof, but their nests can also block eaves troughs, leading to water damage.<\/p>\n

While not impossible, getting rid of starlings<\/a> or other pests is not always easy. From screens and scarecrows to repellents, our experts share their best techniques on how to keep birds from nesting in your roof.<\/p>\n

Inspect and seal the roof to keep birds away<\/h2>\n

Before you implement your plan to keep birds nesting in your roof away, start by inspecting your roof. The important thing here is to identify any holes or gaps on your soffits and fascias or other roof elements.<\/p>\n

If you find any, you should quickly caulk<\/a> these access points. This will help prevent many species of pests such as sparrows, doves and crows from entering. A pest control specialist<\/a> can also help you with this.<\/p>\n

Bird scarers to keep birds away<\/h2>\n

The first solution to try is installing bird scarers<\/a> under the roof of your home. These small devices scare birds away from under your roof.<\/p>\n

Installing a small scarecrow, a dummy owl or a sound bird repellent will make both large and small birds think that the area is inhabited by predators. They will become frightened and want to avoid these bird deterrents at all costs.<\/p>\n

There are several models of bird scarers and repellents available on the market. The most effective and realistic models have light-reflecting eyes. To make a bird scarer even more authentic, you can also add moving parts such as wings.<\/p>\n
