What Birds Cost a Business
Birds may look harmless, but on a commercial property they add up:Birds return to the same spots year after year, so protecting those spots is what solves the problem.
Bird Control for Downtown High-Rises and Loading Docks
We protect multiple high-rise buildings in downtown Nashville and the loading docks that keep businesses supplied. Ledges, window sills, signs, parking garages, and dock canopies give pigeons, starlings, and sparrows exactly what they want: a high, sheltered place to roost and nest, close to food.
Once birds settle in, they keep coming back. Their droppings stain buildings, create slippery walkways, and collect on equipment, and their nests can block vents, gutters, and signs. The sooner a building is protected, the easier birds are to keep away.
Our Commercial Bird Removal Methods
- Netting: we install bird netting to close off areas like dock canopies, overhangs, and recessed spaces, so birds can’t get in to roost or nest.
- Spikes: we install spikes on ledges, beams, signs, and rooflines to keep birds from landing and perching.
- Nest removal: we remove nests from signs, vents, light fixtures, and building ledges.
- Sealing entry points: we close the gaps and openings birds use to get inside buildings, warehouses, and dock areas.
The right mix depends on the building, the bird, and where they’re landing. We’ll walk your property, show you where the problem starts, and recommend only what your building needs.
The Birds We Deal With
| Bird | Where we find it | What it does |
| Pigeons | Ledges, roofs, parking garages, bridges, and signs | Large flocks, heavy droppings, and nesting on building features |
| Starlings | Vents, gaps in siding, signs, and light fixtures | Nesting in openings and roosting in noisy groups |
| Sparrows | Loading docks, store signs, awnings, and patios | Nesting in small spaces and bothering outdoor diners |
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, pigeons, European starlings, and house sparrows are non-native birds that aren’t protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Most native birds, their nests, and their eggs are protected, which is why it matters to identify the bird correctly before any nest is touched. Our team knows the difference.
Why Bird Problems Cost Businesses Money
- Cleaning and repairs: droppings stain facades, sidewalks, and awnings, and can damage some building materials over time.
- Slips and liability: droppings on walkways, stairs, and docks make surfaces slick.
- Blocked vents and gutters: nests can clog openings and drains.
- Customer experience: birds on patio tables and over entrances turn customers away.
- Food safety: birds near loading docks and food areas create sanitation concerns.
Businesses We Protect From Birds
We protect downtown high-rises and property management portfolios, warehouses and loading docks, restaurants with outdoor seating, retail stores and shopping centers, hotels, parking garages, and hospitals.
Help Your Team Help Us
- Don’t feed birds, and ask staff and tenants not to leave food scraps outside.
- Keep dumpster lids closed and clean up spilled food at docks and patios.
- Report new nests early, before birds get attached to a spot.
- Let us know about damaged vents, screens, or soffits where birds could get in.
We’re in the People Business
A bird problem is really a people problem: tenants walking under a ledge, customers sitting at a patio table, or a dock crew working beneath a canopy full of nests. Our team shows up in pressed button-down shirts and logoed ties, works safely around your people, and leaves your building cleaner and better protected than we found it.

Agreements and Investment
Commercial bird removal is priced after a free site inspection, based on your building, the areas that need protection, and the methods involved. Netting a dock canopy and spiking a few ledges are very different jobs, so every quote is built for your property.
Like all of our commercial work, bird control is managed by the division James Hawkins leads as Regional Commercial General Manager. He’s spent more than two decades at U.S. Pest and holds LEED certification along with Tennessee licenses in pest control, termite control, and public health pest control.
Commercial Bird Removal FAQs
What methods do you use for bird removal?
We use netting, spikes, nest removal, and sealing entry points, chosen for your building and the birds involved.
Which birds do you handle?
Mostly pigeons, starlings, and sparrows, the birds that cause the most problems on commercial buildings in Middle Tennessee.
Can you work on high-rise buildings?
Yes. We protect multiple downtown high-rise buildings, along with loading docks and other commercial properties.
Can you remove nests?
Yes. We remove nests from signs, vents, light fixtures, and ledges. Pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows aren’t protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, but most native birds are, so we identify the bird first.
Will netting and spikes hurt the birds?
No. Netting and spikes keep birds from landing, roosting, or nesting. They’re designed to make an area unusable to birds, not to harm them.
How do you keep birds out of a loading dock?
Usually with netting under the canopy, spikes on beams and ledges, removing existing nests, and sealing openings birds use to get inside.
Can you service multiple buildings?
Yes. Property managers and owners with several buildings get one contact and one invoice.
Is bird removal guaranteed?
Yes. Our bird control work is backed by our Whatever It Takes Guarantee.
