Bird Control Challenges Facing Cedar Rapids Facilities
Cedar Rapids is a major manufacturing, grain processing, food production, and logistics hub. These operations, combined with rail corridors, river access, and large structural footprints, create ideal conditions for birds to roost and nest.
Common challenges include:
- Bird droppings creating slip hazards and sanitation issues
- Compliance concerns in regulated processing environments
- Corrosion and structural damage from acidic droppings
- Nesting in rafters, beams, rooflines, bridges, and covered structures
- Increased maintenance and cleanup costs
Without professional bird control, bird activity often spreads throughout multiple areas of a facility.
Bird Species Commonly Impacting Cedar Rapids Facilities
Facilities across Cedar Rapids frequently experience pressure from the following species:
Pigeon Control
Pigeons are the most persistent bird problem at Cedar Rapids facilities, roosting on ledges, beams, parking structures, bridges, dock canopies, and rooftops.
Sparrow Control
House sparrows nest in tight gaps, soffits, vents, signage, and overhangs, making professional exclusion critical.
Starling Control
European starlings form large flocks and commonly enter warehouses, processing plants, and industrial buildings through open or unprotected areas.
Seagull Control
Seagulls impact facilities near waterways, transfer areas, and open industrial sites, particularly along river-adjacent properties.

Effective bird control requires exclusion-based solutions designed around structure layout, bird behavior, and operational needs. Midwest Bird Control provides professional, long-term systems scaled to each facility.
Commercial & Industrial Bird Netting
Bird netting creates a physical barrier that prevents birds from accessing rafters, beams, ceilings, bridges, canopies, and overhead structures.
Structural Exclusion Systems
Exclusion systems block birds from landing or nesting on ledges, rooflines, signage, dock edges, and architectural features.
Targeted & Facility-Wide Control Plans
From isolated bird pressure points to complex multi-structure facilities, solutions are tailored to match project size and scope.
Professional Installation
All systems are professionally installed to withstand Iowa weather conditions and the demands of commercial and industrial environments.
