Free Building Risk Assessment

What’s your building’s bird risk score?

Send a photo of the area — or just describe it. We’ll tell you your risk level, what’s causing it, and what it takes to stop it. Usually same day, no obligation.

The Cost of Waiting

Bird droppings don’t stay a cosmetic problem.

Coatings fail first

Uric acid in droppings sits around pH 3–4.5 — acidic enough to blister and delaminate paint, usually within a single season of sustained roosting.

Then the substrate

Once the coating is breached, the acid reaches the steel or aluminum underneath. Roofing, cladding, and rooftop equipment take the damage first.

Cleanup gets harder

Dried droppings become a respiratory hazard when disturbed. What a maintenance crew could have rinsed in month one needs containment by month six.

How It Works

Three steps, no sales call required

We built this for facility teams who don’t have time to research bird control — and shouldn’t have to.

1

Send us what you’re seeing

A photo of the area is ideal. A short description works too. Rooftop, ledge, signage, loading dock — wherever the activity is.

2

We score your risk

Our team assesses five factors — mess, location, roosting activity, structural exposure, and complaint history — for a 0–20 risk score.

3

You get a written report

Your risk level, what’s driving it, the recommended system, and whether it’s a DIY fix or worth a certified installer.

What Your Score Means

Four risk levels

Every assessment returns a score out of 20 and a plain-English recommendation — including when the honest answer is “you’re fine, here’s what to watch for.”

Clear
0–4

No active risk detected. Preventive guidance and a note on what to watch for.

Watch
5–9

Early-stage activity that will escalate if ignored. Usually a straightforward DIY fix.

Elevated
10–14

Established problem with real cost and liability already accruing. Targeted system recommended.

Critical
15–20

Significant property or liability exposure. Certified installer strongly recommended.

Recent Bird Problems Solved

Real buildings. Real before and after.

Every system below was matched to the actual problem — installed once, working permanently.

Rooftop — San Francisco

Solution: Flex Track

Rooftop — San Francisco before
BeforeA rooftop directly above a busy residential street. Pigeons had claimed it as a regular roost, and years of droppings had streaked and stained the entire surface — visible from the street and from every window looking down on it.
Rooftop — San Francisco after
AfterFlex Track installed along the roost line. Birds stopped landing, and nothing is left advertising a bird problem to the whole block.

Interior Warehouse Ledge

Solution: Optical Gel

Interior Warehouse Ledge before
BeforeWhat “we’ll get to it eventually” looks like after a few seasons — droppings piled deep enough to bury nesting debris and the bird spikes installed years earlier.
Interior Warehouse Ledge after
AfterCleared and fitted edge-to-edge with Optical Gel. The surface birds had claimed for years is now one they won’t land on again.

Storefront Sign

Solution: Optical Gel

Storefront Sign before
BeforeBirds had roosted on the sign’s structural beams for years, staining the lettering and beam surfaces — on the building’s most public-facing feature.
Storefront Sign after
AfterOptical Gel discs installed across every beam and ledge. Birds stopped landing entirely — permanent, and invisible from the ground.

University Rooftop — Southern California

Solution: Dissolve-It + Daddi Long Legs

University Rooftop — Southern California before
BeforeRooftop HVAC units with heavy accumulation of droppings, feathers, and nesting debris. A blind spot, since rooftop equipment gets inspected far less often than building facades.
University Rooftop — Southern California after
AfterA full Dissolve-It cleaning removed the buildup, and Daddi Long Legs deterrents were installed on each unit to keep birds from resettling.
