Commercial building signs often provide ledges and structural framing where pigeons and other pest birds gather.
These elevated surfaces create ideal locations for birds to roost above storefronts and public areas.
Over time this can lead to droppings buildup and sanitation concerns near entrances and sidewalks.
Midwest Bird Control works with properties such as:
• shopping centers
• retail stores
• restaurants
• hotels and hospitality properties
• office buildings
• downtown commercial buildings
Commercial signs and signage structures provide attractive roosting locations for birds.
Common nesting and roosting areas include:
• sign ledges and support brackets
• lighting fixtures above signage
• channel letter signs
• monument signs at property entrances
• structural framing behind large signs
These elevated areas allow birds to roost safely above pedestrian areas.
Once birds begin using signage structures, they often return repeatedly to the same location.

Bird activity around building signs can create several problems for commercial properties.
Common issues include:
• droppings accumulating on sidewalks and entrances
• staining on building surfaces and signage
• droppings falling on customers and employees
• nests and debris behind sign structures
• damage to sign surfaces from acidic droppings
These problems can affect both the appearance and cleanliness of the property.

Midwest Bird Control installs bird deterrent and exclusion systems designed for signage structures.
Solutions may include:
• bird spikes installed along sign ledges
• exclusion systems to block nesting behind signs
• structural deterrents to prevent birds from landing
• netting systems for larger sign structures
These systems prevent birds from roosting and nesting on signage.

Bird activity on signage commonly occurs at properties such as:
• shopping centers and retail plazas
• restaurants and entertainment venues
• hotels and hospitality properties
• office buildings
• downtown commercial properties
• convention centers and public facilities
Any commercial property with large exterior signage can develop bird roosting problems over time.

Every signage structure is designed differently.
The most effective bird control solution depends on the design of the sign, ledges, and surrounding building surfaces.
Midwest Bird Control provides inspection and installation of bird deterrent systems for commercial properties across the Midwest.
An inspection allows us to identify problem areas and recommend the most effective long-term solution.
Bird problems on building signs often occur on other structural areas of commercial properties.
