Birds nesting in a roof space or under eaves can be as noisy as a possum, with movement, calling and nest material building up in gaps around roof vents, gable ends and old eave lines. Homes in New Farm with older roof vents or gaps around the ridge capping tend to attract birds looking for a sheltered spot to nest, particularly through the warmer months.
The crew we book will check the roofline for active nests before closing anything up, since a nest with eggs or chicks inside needs to be left alone until they have moved on. Once a spot is clear, mesh or a proper cover goes over the gap so birds cannot get back into the same area, while airflow through the roof vent itself is kept working.
Gutters and eave gaps in New Farm sometimes carry nest material that can affect drainage even after the birds have moved on, so the crew will point out anything in the gutters worth clearing as part of the same visit. Bird proofing is often booked alongside a general roof check or after a possum job has already had the crew up on the roof, so the whole roofline gets looked at in one visit rather than several separate calls.
- Active nests are checked before any gap is closed.
- Mesh and covers keep airflow working while closing off the gap.
- Gutters and eave lines are checked for leftover nest material.
- Bird proofing pairs well with a roof cavity check or possum job.
