How To Keep Birds Out Of Your Roofs Gutters

Roofs are a birds favourite place to hang out, especially during the colder months when birds look for roof’s gutters to see if there are gaps on the edge of the roof so birds can then make their residence. It is then during the spring time when birds build nests and lay their eggs in the gutters.

Birds can cause damage to your roof and that is why it is very important to keep them out of your roof’s gutters

When birds are in your gutters they can bend or rip the guttering from your roof, their nests can clog the roof’s downspouts. This can end up causing a major leaf in the roof which is a costly fix.

To help prevent birds from nesting in your homes gutters you can try the following:

Gutter guard, these are aluminium sheets which cover slights on your gutter. A gutter guard also prevents debris, leaves and other material from landing in your gutters. Birds won’t be able to drink the water in the gutters which will help to deter them.

Roof bird spikes, these are thin plastic panels with various spikes also known as anti roosting strips.
