Bird Droppings on Building Signs Keep Coming Back

Signs Say A Lot About A Business Image

  

If birds are sitting on your building sign, you’re likely dealing with droppings running down the sign, mess on sidewalks or entrances, and a problem that keeps coming back.

Signs create the perfect roosting spot—elevated, visible, and often protected from weather.

The Problem: Why Birds Keep Using Your Sign

 

Most businesses try:

  • cleaning the sign 
  • pressure washing the area below 
  • temporary deterrents 

But the mess comes right back.

👉 That’s because birds still have access to the sign.

As long as they can land and sit on it, they will continue to return.

Common Problem Areas on Building Signs

The Real Issue: Open Access to a Perfect Perch

The Real Issue: Open Access to a Perfect Perch

Birds typically roost on:

  • top edges of channel letter signs 
  • raceways and mounting structures 
  • light fixtures and sign brackets 
  • flat surfaces above signage 
  • nearby ledges or trim 

Once they find a spot, they stay consistent.

Bird problems on building signs are not a cleaning issue.

👉 They are an access issue.

Cleaning removes the mess temporarily, but it does nothing to stop birds from coming back to the same location.

The Solution: Block the Landing Areas

To stop birds from roosting on building signs, the landing areas must be blocked or modified.

This typically includes:

  • bird netting around signage structures 
  • ledge deterrent systems to prevent landing 
  • structural adjustments to eliminate roosting surfaces 

Once birds can’t land:
👉 they move on
👉 the mess stops
