Bird Droppings on Your Billboard or Sign?

 Elevated structures and ledges provide safe roosting areas above ground activity.

Billboards and sign structures give birds height, visibility, and protection.

Common areas include:

• sign ledges and framing
• lighting fixtures and brackets
• catwalks and support structures
• areas behind sign panels
• connection points and structural edges

These areas allow birds to roost without disturbance and return repeatedly.

 Droppings and nesting create visible mess and ongoing maintenance issues.

Bird activity on billboard structures can lead to:

• droppings buildup on sign faces and supports
• staining on surfaces below
• nesting debris in structural areas
• contamination near walkways or entrances
• ongoing cleanup and maintenance

Because these structures are elevated and visible, the mess is often noticeable from a distance.

 Deterrent and exclusion systems prevent birds from landing and returning.

Midwest Bird Control installs systems designed for billboard and sign structures.

Solutions may include:

• bird spikes on ledges and framing
• exclusion systems for gaps and nesting areas
• deterrents for lighting and support structures
• netting systems for larger sign installations

These systems prevent birds from returning and reduce ongoing maintenance.

 Common on commercial properties with elevated signage and public visibility.

Billboard bird problems are common at:

• roadside commercial properties
• retail corridors
• restaurants and fuel stations
• hotels and travel locations
• shopping centers
• large monument signs and signage structures

Any elevated sign structure can develop recurring bird activity over time.

 Identify problem areas and install a long-term solution.

Every sign structure is different.

The most effective solution depends on the design, height, and structural features involved.

Midwest Bird Control provides inspections and installs bird control systems for commercial properties.
