PROTECTED NOOKS
Birds need to hide. Pigeons, especially, treat our structures like rock wall faces. Nooks and holes, shaded overhangs and cracks with perches keep them high up and away from predators.
And when you find birds in possession of a nook or hidden spot, be aware that you will surely find the beginning of or a totally completed nesting situation. These are often invisible from below. Sometimes found quite deep into a structure.
Also, if you find birds which are nesting yet have protection from being disturbed while breeding, do contact us so that we can give you feedback on your proper next steps.
Below are the top bird problem areas of ledges of various types and the how we solve them.
The Most Unnoticed Architectural Gaps Are Spotted by Birds Fast
Buildings of almost any size have built within them various types of gaps, openings and divides. You will never notice these but birds see them at a glance.
If you find yourself with bird problems like pigeons everyday or a constant visit from sparrows yet they seem to be popping in from elsewhere, perhaps a 360-degree tour around your structure will reveal an opening that birds, even if not present as droppings are seen, have found a place that suits them well. Or if no birds are found yet markings are left behind in large amounts, perhaps nesting has taken place. Note that nests of pigeons and others can be deep within.
Most birds nest individually, some species, including seabirds, many herons, gulls, corvids and some sparrows gather together in sizable colonies.
Here are shown four devices that we’ve found used best in openings or gaps in buildings. There are many more in our site so please note your issue and match what works or tap our logo below to get help.

How to Spot Birds in Openings, Cracks, Holes and Spaces
For Pigeons, Sparrows, Swallows and Woodpeckers
- Take a fresh 360-degree tour around your structure.
- Look for extremely small openings as birds, and surprisingly pigeons, can enter and exit.
- Note spots that have unknown markings and/or bird droppings.
- Tour your structure at quite times and listen for chirping.
- Be aware that nesting can happen completely out of view and is often preferred by birds.
- If you know birds are present but can nail down their actions, set your phone for lower resolution video and film a wide view of the sides of your structure.
- Knowing what’s happening ensures that you install the correct bird control product or to hire a professional installer.
The Cozier the Corner, The Bigger the Broods
Birds enjoy paranoia. Whozat?! Wa wa wat wazat?! Just imagine that personality and the structure you’re going to protect.
If you have birds already atop your more private safe spaces, then you can see what needs work and get on it. If, though, you have birds around and need to make sure they don’t take hold of your building, then spotting what’s attractive to them is the best first step.
Shown here to the left are three great deterrents that can’t be seen from below. Optical Gel, Bird-Shock and the attractive BirdSlide.
Installing these before bird takes control of the prized possession, a tight corner, works perfect. Nothing to be seen by us once installed but a total stop sign to birds, whether visiting or nesting. And, of course all four items work if pigeons or others are currently there. And the granddaddy, the unmentioned bird spike known as Dura-Spikes, stops even small sparrows from landing. But do know that birds can use spikes (as shown in the main shot of birds on bricks) as nesting rebar.
Whichever product seems perfect, we can always chime in with feedback. Click our bird logo below to send over a shot or movie and a quick reply with ideas back to you will happen.

How to Spot Birds in Tight Corners, Under Things and Hiding Spots
For Pigeons, Sparrows, Swallows. Starlings and Woodpeckers
- Note areas that begin or end on walls. The spots, for example wall to ceiling, can have places to visit or hide and nest.
- Consider investigating areas that one would think birds wouldn’t go. Carports or large building interior storage areas with large doors.
- Birds will inhabit areas that are quite noisy. Gaps behind roll-up doors, between HVAC systems and the like.
- If possible, bring a small ladder on your tour. Tip toes will miss the more desperate birds hiding from people just like you.
- Look for shadowy areas. They do when searching for a new home. It’s in their DNA.
- Please don’t bring a hose, as temping as it is, to flush out dwellings. We (and our installers through us) are friends with PeTA and know how animals should be treated.
- Knowing what’s happening ensures that you install the correct bird control product or to hire a professional installer.
Technology Can Be Warm & Attractive
As show in our images. when we talk about equipment, we’re staring at the top. Imagine, as seen in the Optical Gel shot protecting a high-voltage substation with transformers that hum. We have products that are known and accepted appropriate by the IEEE.
But dangerous tech isn’t as common as a warm light as seen in the main shot or hiding spots found in HVAC. This equipment can be found on nearly every roof and , unless a maintenance team makes rounds, goes for years unchecked. Don’t let bird feces into the intake of your in-bound air.
Then shown is solar. Birds look at solar like a roof. A wide roof…for many families. Our solar kits cover every entrance bird will use. And believe us, if a solar kit is installed with gaps for your finger, a bird will shove in and be happy the front door is for them only.
