Midwest Bird Control provides industrial bird control solutions for large facilities across the Midwest, including Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. We specialize in long-term control of pigeons, house sparrows, European starlings, and seagulls in high-risk industrial environments where bird pressure impacts safety, sanitation, and operations.
If your facility is dealing with birds roosting on structural steel, nesting above work areas, or contaminating equipment and walkways, we build solutions designed for industrial conditions and Midwest weather.

Bird activity in industrial areas creates more than a nuisance. Common operational impact include:
Droppings on walkways, stairwells, catwalks, ladders, and loading areas increase safety risk and cleanup costs.
Bird droppings, feathers, and nesting material can compromise sanitation programs and create audit problems in regulated environments.
Droppings can accelerate corrosion on steel, degrade surfaces, clog drains, and foul sensitive equipment.
Frequent cleanups, blocked access points, and recurring nesting cause ongoing labor costs and interruptions.

Pigeons roost on beams, ledges, dock canopies, and overhead steel. Their droppings accumulate quickly and often require ongoing cleanup unless access is permanently blocked.

House sparrows exploit small gaps and repeatedly nest in structural cavities, overhead platforms, and protected edges around industrial buildings.

Starlings gather in large flocks and can enter facilities through open doors, wall gaps, and overhead voids. They create noise, droppings, and persistent roosting pressure.

Seagulls commonly pressure industrial rooftops, waterfront operations, landfills, transfer stations, food-related operations, and port-adjacent facilities—especially near lakes and rivers.
Bird pressure above production lines, cranes, and overhead steel creates safety and sanitation issues.
Birds roost in rafters, beams, dock canopies, and high-bay areas where droppings can impact inventory and equipment.
Facilities handling grain, feed, ingredients, or packaging face elevated compliance risk from birds.
Maintenance bays, loading zones, and covered structures often develop heavy roosting and nesting activity.
Seagulls and pigeons pressure rooftops, docks, covered storage, and waste-handling areas—especially near Great Lakes and major river systems.

Birds were nesting and roosting in 3 buildings for this railroad company. Heavy accumulations of droppings in each building caused unsanitary conditions for the workers fixing or maintaining railroad cars.

This building was 600' x 85 feet and (16) nets 100 x 50 were used for this building across the whole ceiling and 12' down each side wall

10 rock-star bird netting installers completed all 3 buildings in 18 total working days with time off in the middle of the project for Thanksgiving.

This building and the other one were very similar. A lot more to go around and the guys handled the challenge very well and Brice Robinson, my foreman, put a plan together with help of 3 other experienced installers to install the net while not interfering with the railroads safety measures

This job took a lot of patience and each day the guys prayed for the job and for each other so that when challenges did come up, they were ready to work together to be able to get the job done

The result was 3 buildings fully protected from birds. We are professionals at removing birds from buildings and keeping them out for good. This is why we can say:
Birds Hate Us, Customers Love Us
We design and install systems that work long-term in industrial conditions.
Bird netting is a physical exclusion system that blocks birds from accessing overhead structures, rafters, and high-risk zones. Netting is ideal for large interior and exterior areas where birds consistently roost.
For sparrows and starlings that exploit small gaps, targeted exclusion and sealing can stop recurring nesting in structural cavities and edges.
Large sites typically need a multi-zone approach. We identify pressure points and design a complete plan so birds can’t simply shift to a nearby section of the building.
We coordinate around operations and safety requirements, working with site contacts to minimize disruption while completing effective installs.

If your facility is outside these metros, we still cover the region—especially for multi-site and large-scale projects.


We build solutions for industrial structures, not quick fixes. Our work is designed to hold up on large buildings with complex layouts.

We prioritize physical exclusion and proven systems that reduce repeat cleanups and recurring roosting.

We understand the unique challenges of Midwest facilities—wind loads, snow, freeze/thaw cycles, and seasonal bird pressure.

You get straightforward recommendations, a clear scope of work, and a plan built for your facility type and risk level.
If pigeons, sparrows, starlings, or seagulls are impacting your facility, Midwest Bird Control can design a site-specific solution.

What is the most effective industrial bird control method?
For many industrial structures, bird netting and physical exclusion provide the most reliable long-term control because they block access rather than trying to scare birds away.
Yes. We commonly develop facility-wide plans and phased installs for larger industrial sites.
Yes. We address seagull pressure using site-specific strategies based on roosting patterns, structure type, and operational constraints.
Project timing depends on scope and access requirements, but we can typically schedule assessments quickly and move to installation once the plan is approved.
