Birds under the roof can cause a lot of nuisance and even damage your roofing and roof structure. Birds like to nest in sheltered places under the roof and make their nests from twigs, leaves and other materials. In this blog you can read how you can prevent damage caused by birds under your roof.
Identify the problem
Before you can take measures against birds under your roof, it is important to know exactly which birds are under your roof and how they got there. Birds can gain access to your roof in various ways. For example, there may be openings or cracks in your roof, or birds can enter through uncovered gutters or chimneys.
Take preventive measures
It is important to take preventive measures to prevent birds from nesting under your roof. This can be done, for example, by placing special bird protection, such as mesh or pins, at openings or cracks in your roof. Covering gutters and chimneys can also prevent birds from coming under your roof.
Place nesting boxes
Placing nesting boxes near your home can tempt birds to nest elsewhere. This reduces the chance that birds will nest under your roof. Make sure that the nesting boxes are hung in a safe and accessible place.
Hire a professional
If you are bothered by birds under your roof and you cannot take measures yourself, call in a professional roofer. They have experience in installing bird protection and can advise you on the best solution for your specific situation.
