About Nashville Bird Control
Nashville Bird Control is Nashville's trusted specialist for humane pest bird exclusion. We serve homeowners, property managers, and commercial operators across Middle Tennessee who need a permanent, humane solution to bird problems — not a temporary fix.

For commercial clients in regulated industries — food processing, healthcare, government, and military — we provide audit-ready documentation, compliance with FDA FSMA, USDA FSIS, Joint Commission, and FAA AC 150/5200-33 standards, and 4-hour priority response for critical facilities.

How to Get Rid of Birds in Nashville, TN
Nashville's warm climate and dense urban environment make it a year-round hotspot for pest birds — pigeons, starlings, sparrows, and geese. Here's what actually works:
1. Identify the species and entry points
Different birds require different solutions. Pigeons need netting and spikes; sparrows need vent exclusion; geese need habitat modification. A professional inspection identifies the species, nesting sites, and access points before any work begins.
2. Remove existing nests and droppings
Active nests must be handled carefully — many native species are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Bird droppings carry health risks including histoplasmosis and should be removed with proper PPE and EPA-registered disinfectants.
3. Install permanent exclusion hardware
Stainless steel bird netting, bird spikes, and vent covers physically prevent re-entry. Unlike visual deterrents (decoys, reflective tape), exclusion hardware doesn't lose effectiveness as birds habituate to it.
4. Seal secondary access points
Birds will find the next available opening. A thorough exclusion addresses all potential entry points — not just the obvious ones — to prevent the problem from shifting to a new location.
5. Follow up and verify
Nashville Bird Control backs all work with a written guarantee. We follow up to confirm the exclusion is holding and address any gaps.
Why DIY bird control usually fails
Plastic owl decoys, reflective tape, and ultrasonic devices provide temporary relief at best. Birds habituate to non-physical deterrents within days to weeks. Permanent exclusion hardware is the only method that reliably prevents re-infestation.
Why Choose a Bird Control Specialist Over a General Pest Company?
Species expertise
We know the nesting cycles, behavior, and legal status of every pest bird species in Middle Tennessee — knowledge general pest companies rarely have.
Migratory Bird Treaty Act compliance
Many native birds are federally protected. Improper nest removal can result in fines. We handle all work in compliance with MBTA regulations.
Commercial-grade exclusion hardware
We install professional stainless steel netting, spikes, and tension wire systems — not the lightweight consumer products sold at hardware stores.
Industry certifications
We provide audit-ready documentation for food processing, healthcare, government, and military clients — documentation general pest companies cannot produce.
Exclusive focus
Nashville Bird Control does one thing: bird control. That focus means better results, faster diagnosis, and more effective long-term solutions than a generalist.
Written guarantee
All exclusion work is backed by a written workmanship guarantee. We stand behind every installation.

How do I get rid of birds in Nashville, Tennessee?
The most effective long-term solution is professional exclusion — not DIY deterrents that birds quickly adapt to. Nashville Bird Control installs permanent stainless steel bird netting, bird spikes, and vent covers that physically prevent birds from accessing problem areas. We also remove existing nests and decontaminate affected surfaces. Call (615) 610-0709 for a free on-site assessment.
Why hire a bird control specialist instead of a general pest control company?
Bird control requires specialized knowledge of species behavior, nesting cycles, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act — which protects many native species and restricts how and when nests can be removed. General pest companies typically lack the exclusion hardware, compliance knowledge, and industry certifications needed for effective, legal bird control. Nashville Bird Control focuses exclusively on birds, giving us deeper expertise and better long-term results.

How do I get rid of pigeons in Nashville?
To get rid of pigeons in Nashville, the most effective permanent solution is professional exclusion hardware — stainless steel bird netting over open areas and loading docks, bird spikes on ledges and parapets, and tension wire systems on rooflines. Pigeons are highly habituated to urban environments and will return to any unprotected roost site within days. Nashville Bird Control removes existing pigeon colonies, cleans and decontaminates droppings, and installs exclusion hardware that prevents re-entry. Call (615) 610-0709 for a free pigeon control estimate.
How do I get rid of starlings in Nashville?
European starlings in Nashville typically roost in large flocks and nest in building cavities, vents, and soffits. The most effective control is cavity exclusion — sealing vent openings and soffits with bird-proof hardware cloth or vent covers — combined with netting or spikes on roosting ledges. Nashville Bird Control handles starling exclusion for both residential and commercial properties. Call (615) 610-0709.
How do I get rid of sparrows nesting in my vents?
House sparrows nesting in dryer vents, bathroom exhaust vents, and range hoods are a fire hazard and can block airflow. Nashville Bird Control removes the nest, cleans the vent, and installs a bird-proof vent cover that allows normal airflow while blocking re-entry. This is one of our most common residential services. Call (615) 610-0709.
How much does pigeon control cost in Nashville?
Pigeon control costs in Nashville depend on the size of the infestation and the surfaces involved. Typical ranges: bird spike installation on a residential ledge or parapet costs $150–$500; bird netting over a loading dock or warehouse opening runs $1,000–$5,000+; pigeon dropping cleanup and decontamination costs $300–$1,500+. Nashville Bird Control offers free on-site estimates — call (615) 610-0709.

What wildlife bird control companies serve Nashville, TN?
Nashville Bird Control is a locally owned wildlife bird control company serving Nashville and all of Middle Tennessee. Unlike national pest control franchises, we specialize exclusively in pest bird exclusion — bird netting, bird spikes, pigeon control, nest removal, and bird dropping cleanup. We serve residential and commercial clients across 19 cities in Middle Tennessee. Call (615) 610-0709 or visit nashvillebirdcontrol.com.
Is bird control covered by homeowners insurance in Tennessee?
In most cases, bird control exclusion work is not covered by standard homeowners insurance in Tennessee because it is considered preventive maintenance rather than sudden damage. However, if birds have caused structural damage (rotted wood from droppings, blocked vents causing moisture damage), that damage may be covered depending on your policy. Nashville Bird Control can provide detailed documentation of damage and exclusion work for insurance purposes. Call (615) 610-0709.
Are birds protected by law in Tennessee? Can I remove them myself?
Many bird species in Tennessee are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), which makes it illegal to harm, kill, or destroy the active nests or eggs of protected species without a federal permit. Pigeons, European starlings, and house sparrows are NOT protected under the MBTA and can be removed at any time. However, barn swallows, purple martins, and most songbirds ARE protected — their active nests cannot be removed until the nesting season ends. Nashville Bird Control handles all removals in full compliance with federal and state law. Call (615) 610-0709.
How long does bird control installation take?
Most residential bird control jobs — vent exclusion, ledge spikes, or small netting installations — are completed in a single visit of 2–4 hours. Larger commercial projects such as warehouse netting or multi-building exclusion may take 1–3 days. Nashville Bird Control provides a timeline estimate during the free on-site assessment. Call (615) 610-0709.
Does Nashville Bird Control offer a warranty or guarantee?
Yes. Nashville Bird Control backs all exclusion installations with a written workmanship guarantee. If birds re-enter through an area we excluded, we return to address it at no additional charge. Call (615) 610-0709 for details.
